Southgate and Oval (all flatties) against Glamorgan, Leicestershire and Surrey (all weak bowling attacks).

It is the fact that he did so well against the Saffers (probably the best pace attack in the world) in Safferland that bothers me.

The battle between England’s bowling attack and that distinguished and lengthy Aussie middle order is the main course, no question.

But the England bowling attack against Aussie openers (including Phil Hughes) is a pretty decent hors d’oeuvres.
