UPSET!!!! >Prepare to defend yourself sir ! I am! I must call it an upset! Consider: 1982-3: England beaten for the Ashes in Australia, finish LAST in a one day tournament. 1983: England loses their first match at home to New Zealand ever! 1984: England swept at home (first time ever) by the West Indies. That winter, Australia performs credibly against the West Indies. England are also drawn at home by Sri Lanka! (Remember that?) When I was last in England (May of this year) very few people gave England a chance against Australia. I, actually, was one of the few.
