"I am trying to remember to what July 2013 was like" |
Lets rewind to a few months back when Australia were in England trying to win The (coveted) Ashes, which the touring party lost by a margin of 0-3.
During that series, England were not at their best and Australia almost won 1 out of those 3 matches (revise the tense 1st game) and were winning position in a drawn test due to bad light (remember the controversial last). With 2 matches drawn and close finishes, England did win the series, and there are no "almosts" when it comes to results,a 0-3 scoreline hardly did any justice to the Australian team.
But if you were to read the post series coverage on any of the above mentioned websites, or any other for that matter, if you would believe that the urinating English players (on the pitch and Panesar) are the best in the world today. Hell, I could pick up articles saying that.
But, that is old news. That was in July 2013. A long time back. To be precise, 6 months!
Today, England have been dancing to Australian tune and have lost control of their game in a very public fashion. How in a matter of 6 months, you ask? We can't say, all we are noticing is that damned scoreline which is 2-0 right now in favour of Australia. And also because, we can no more see beyond a week in the past. Got to keep up you see, got to release content!
