I think that is because of the home advantage and friendly playing conditions, both in England and Australia, respectively. Cricket teams don't change in matter of an year or so. Australia, once the might of cricket and won everything everywhere, is just another normal team now, and wins some and loses some. Also, the Brits have spent gazillions of dollars getting numerous sporting codes up to top world standard, what with the Olympics being there recently. That's right, but that hasn't helped them in cricket though When it comes to cricket, Australia's school cricket and domestic cricket setups, booth are much better than UK.

I prefer the song of the magpie to the song of the laughing jackass. It is so melodious and musical. And geneticists are now saying the Australian magpie has been more important in birds' development of song than the lyrebird! But it doesn't looking stunning like the kooka or the lyrebird. PS I live in Canberra which is on the edge of the natural budgie range. If I ever get a shot of a flock I'll be certain to post it. Meanwhile, I'll post pics of some of the wonderful birds in our garden when I can.
