If England show any weakness, Gill says, if they're not absolutely determined to hold on to what they've won, if there's any sense within the squad that the thrill of beating Australia last year will sustain them for the rest of their lives and that it would be greedy to hope to do it twice, "then it could be ugly for them." From the other side of the world, Colin Croft expects to see a thrashing. Galvanized by defeat, he says, "Australia are going to beat...
