It has been impossible for us to score any runs whatsoever, unfortunately...

The term English conditions suggest uniquely English, pitches, bounce, light, wind. But given that they are...er..English, one would expect English batsmen would be comfortable playing them.

Ummmm.......well, I think that Australia coped well in one of the Tests on the amazingly unique English conditions ! As did NZ.....
And one has to remember that many Australian players ply their trade over here for the Counties, so they are used to the unique English conditions. Indeed, they probably play here more than they do at home these days.....
Basically, they were poor, we were good. Simple as that.
And the joy we feel after being subjected to the unpleasantness pre Tour that we would face a 5-0 thrashing is quite palpable. The comments that " well we are not NZ " are also coming back to bite certain people too.
A little humility is sometimes all that is all required in sport.
