Economic expansion has produced more than 4.7 million new jobs since May2003, reduced unemployment to 4.7 percent, and raised homeownership to all-time highs.
In May2003 they made 418-7, current batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan scoring a century, to beat the all-conquering Australians featuring Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee, but lost that series, and should they fail to force victory here it would be a fifth successive series defeat against the baggy greens.
