As most of you know, the Australian cricket team has achieved a level of dominance on the world stage that few can challenge, let alone hope to overcome. England briefly gave the Aussies cause for concern by wresting The Ashes from them in 2005. That, of course, was in England. When the English side visited Australia for the next series they were soundly beaten. So much for the men.

2005 also saw England’s women cricketers with their battle against Australia. They have only just completed their return visit. A series of one-day internationals was tied, 2-2. Only one test match was played, but England won it comfortably.

Just sayin’, Justine…
