OK, just so that people know my background, I'm an expatriate American who moved to Sydney about 12 years ago and fell in love with the place (I was 15 at the time). I've never met an American with an inferiority complex.
Anyway, the Poms are and have always been the Old Enemy, so even though South Africa is most probably the better team, and India a very difficult team to beat at home, beating Nasser Hussain's men is a special kind of satisfaction.
