Agreed.It has become far more competitive than it was when Australia were demolishing all of their opponents.This era, unlike the other 2 where Australia and Windies dominated, will mark much greater competition among major test teams.
It will be good for cricket when the day comes and the top 4-5 teams have very little between them and it's not a done deal before the toss of the coin.
Even allowing for the rankings and England deservedly No.1 it is good for cricket games/results like todays where it shows there is not a huge gap between No.1 and No.5.....test cricket is the best form of cricket in my eyes and we need it to stay healthy against the odds..
it is interesting though that we have seen a lot more one sided games recently, and not just the top teams thrashing the minnows, but equally matched teams giving each other a hiding. Even in the old days when india were hopeless away from home, they were never given such a beating by the Australian teams of the past, and now this team,which i'm sure we can agree is hardly at the height of its powers is demolishing them.
it really is a funny old game is cricket
