Are we seeing a fundamental change in how test cricket is played

England have chased down 279/299/296/378 to win successive test matches , when the perceived wisdom that chasing almost anything over 200/250 was a hard ask ( the stats will probably show me wrong) but cricket followers know what i mean

Or is it a combination of new set up bounce and wickets that are lasting more than five days and England have been in the right place at the right time

Long may it continue though and bring on the Aussies , imagine if those four wins had been against them
