Not so sure - This was a test series at home, as oppossed to an ODI series on tour ;)

Or are you predicting the result of Australia's upcomming tour there?

I can see the Aussies losing against the Bangers, it will be HUGE if it happens..:crazy:

Aussies lost this test on the first day IMO. There was no coming back from day 1.


Actually lost it within the first 90 or so minutes with yet another batting collapse. Ponting looks like a grade cricketer at best. He may be blind in his left eye???? Because he certainly can't play anything heading toward leg stump. Who the f**k get caught behind down the leg side and looks as though it will happen time and time again to him?

Two tests lost by an innings... that's pretty sad, and one win in which some mysterious left arm quick who could get late swing appeared :crazy:

And then some fans saying that the Poms are only any good on flat decks :lol: what does that say about the Australian bats if the decks were roads?? :crazy: 98 all out, and then 258 held together by Siddle and Haddin

not as clear cut as that,

what you omitted was the fact that they were not flat decks on day 1 and the poms won the toss both times and sent us in and used the conditions perfectly

the only time we saw the poms struggle was on the WACA which would have been the same as us winning the toss and sending them in on the two occasions where we lost by an innings

could have been different games if we won the toss

Tosses were impt, but that was not a rolled for 98 wicket... sorry

Aust is not awful, but completely outplayed - there were many chances for your batsmen to show some character, and none really did - in fact most of them threw their wickets away... and yes, you won in Perth but that was mostly down to Johnson's once a year display of how good he can be

Hating on a bowler for getting out when batting is just dumb.

His job is to bowl.

There are 6 blokes above him whose job it is to score runs.

May as well blame Phil Hughes for not taking any wickets while you're at it.
