English batting can be just as brittle and I think this series - and the one immediately following in Australia - will be closer than people on both sides think.
England have a much better team than back in the 90s and Australia, although they're not the side they were in the 90s, are no mugs either but, as much as the Aussies will have taken confidence from that match, so will England in getting so close to losing but ultimately winning.
I just hope Anderson can stay fit as he's the best bowler in the England side.
