Aussies take a pounding

The Australian team has suffered a major loss (they are just not used to
it) when they lost to Somerset today. This makes the series more
interesting now.

The England team must be thinking that they too can beat the Aussies.
But mind you Mike, it is not an easy job. All the eyes are on the Ashes
and everything that happens before that is presumed to be a weathercock
signal for the series. The upcoming One Dayers will also be looked upon
as a pre cursor to the main show. The mind games will now begin.

That is the best thing about Test Cricket, you have to strategize way
before the actual D Day. It is like a war, and not like a skirmish (one
dayers).
