See. It's not so surprising how many WANT to be Australian, so they do what they can to be one.
And you forgot AC/DC.
Crowded House were 2/3 Australian though
And don't forget, once Lizzy goes England (and Oz ) will have a half-Greek Monarchy
Maybe we could all support a good old English team owned by a Russian, have had an English manager for only 3 games in the last 10 years and full of players from around the globe

I think the current English ones in Australia and England are doing fine jobs.

3-0 is pretty convincing. Both team have won convincingly at home. England can't play the bounce, cons can't play the swing.

We hold the trophy.
Hopefully the post-tour counselling sessions prove to be of some benefit to your lot so we can have a closer series next time.

Sums up quite a few of the English performances during the series.
Let's be honest if you had pick the all star team rom the two sides it would ten Aussies, with Stoakes replacing Bailey.
