Surely that point has long passed, as of the moment Aus lost the series then England had more chance of winning.

hmm but there is still a fair chance that ENG will lose 2 nil which will make it a "series" SWEEP and worse than AUS's defeat

But that wasn't the question....

PP -
Aus lose 2 - 0 ... let's say Eng lose 2 - 0 (won't happen) ... and you make that 'worse' than Aus's defeat?! Shocked

Surely that outcome ought to be based on the margins of defeat, seeing as England were only ever handed a 2 test "series" in the first place!

No a fan of BCCI(duh!) but its worth mentioning that the English players wanted to go home before Christmas AND the ECB wanted to play more tests(correct me if i am wrong)

BCCI just wanted their normal 7 ODIs

Perhaps ... but that isn't the issue!
Quantifying "worse than the Aussies defeat" is!

Not quite. The tour was always scheduled to finish before Christmas, even before a test was lopped off.

Ok lets forget all of that and focus on the important thing i.e laugh at people who voted for option A

One advantage that England have over Australia is that our skipper isn't as thick as a box of rocks.

Also, we have a test-class spinner.

And a test class all rounder.
