New Delhi, Aug 19: Former Indian skipper seems to be mighty impressed with the standard of cricket being played in the ongoing Ashes Test series between England and Australia which has so far seen nervy battle between the arch-rivals.

After an emphatic 251-run win for Australia in the Ashes opener in Edgbaston, England -- the newly crowned World Champions -- had only revenge on their mind in the second Test at Lord's which ended in a tense draw on Sunday.
