England are the number one ranked test playing nation in the world.

They've destroyed an average Indian side; a side that are ODI champions and the former number one side; a side that I've always had my suspicions about.

India's batting line up is stuff of legend with Sehwag, Sachin, Laxman and Dravid piling it on before MS Dhoni comes in to bludgeon it. However, these legends have been made on flat trackers out in the sub-continent. This has always made me uncomfortable when calling India 'the best.' Even after they beat everybody and won the world cup - on flat wickets - my brow was furrowed.

This recent test series has show India's frailties, not only in their club standard bowling attack but also with the seemingly formidable batting line up.

I don't want to turn this into a dissection of India cause I want to talk about England - we're the champions after all. This is the best England side of my lifetime and possibly ever. They have a camaraderie that is strong, a fierce fighting nature and a raging desire to win, win, win. Not to mention damned good cricketers. An area that must be mentioned is the strength in depth. England have lost Tremlett and Trott in this series, no problem though cause instep Bresnan and Bopara (who got me ECB complementary tickets for the second day at Edgbaston but I digress). Truly signs of golden era for English cricket, let's hope that we've learnt the lessons from '05 and keep this side together for years to come...

Think I may have to get a Barmy Army membership ;)

Until next time my friends from beyond the bails.
