Is it England's golden era?

If it stays like that for the next 3 - 4 years, then YES.

Other than that, it's nothing more than a flash in the pan atm.

West Indies and Australia are the only 2 teams that have enjoyed Golden eras in my time.

I agree.

Aussies are on the downer. How did we end up 9th in the 20-20 competition?

Yet if we beat SA this summer we'll be back on top in test rankings!
