"Australia have conquered Sri Lanka home and away, India away and the traditionally feisty New Zealand at home in the post-Steve Waugh era under the leadership of Ponting and Adam Gilchrist. Only a resurgent England appear entitled to dream of beating Australia."

Bring on the Ashes, my friends. I want to see that dream.

We all know that England are the only team the Aussies take any pleasure in beating at cricket...

How altruistic of us, then, to bring simple joy into the hearts of 21 million Australians by letting them win all the time! Indeed, it could be argued that we are even more considerate than that, as we usually contrive to win one game per series just to make the final Australian victory all the sweeter.

Indeed.

Such a healthy dose of cognitive dissidence in these circumstances, may help to make a bad situation almost bearable.
