For Australia, Ryan Harris, Steve Smith and Rogers end the series as far more substantial Test cricketers, and we will see much more of them in the coming months. But for more distant onlookers, this is unlikely to be a series to remember.Post-Trent Bridge, the cricket became ever-more monochrome. In part, this was because the playing surfaces were so similar. With the exception of Old Trafford, the pitches were dry and slow, offering a bit of help to quality spinners and reverse swingers (oddly enough, England had some of those).This may have been pure coincidence although some of our Antipodean cousins might take some convincing of that. It may have been the consequence of meticulous, cunning planning on the part of the home side.Whatever the reason, this did not add to the entertainment. It meant that the pattern of play was similar in all the games. The bowlers were required to be attritional; the batsmen had to graft.

In both disciplines, England – who had a far better idea of what constituted their best side – were a little bit better. Even if we don't love them, we should applaud them.Sarah Michaelson no longer wonders what she'll be having for dinner.
