Well done Australia another good win.
England really threw it away yesterday after winning day 2, they had a 50 run lead and should have put us to the sword but our bowlers didn't let them get away too badly. The way England batted as well was just terrible. Carberry batting for two and half hours for 12 runs was rubbish as was Joe Root who also adopted the defensive mindset.
England let our bowlers bowl to them, they didn't try to change any of our bowling plans and they were pretty much doomed from there.
The pitch didn't really have any demons in it as shown by Australia finishing the game 2 down but it seemed a bit slow to start off with and just got better to bat on. England to be rolled for 179 on that pitch was awful. Having said that we've all seen Australia stumble when chasing small to moderate totals in the past.
Today Rogers rode his luck at times but Cricket can be like that some times. I was really impressed with Shane Watson today and have to say it was one of his best Innings in Australian colors.
Was great to see Lyon run through England yesterday. He copped a bit after Adelaide but but I think he has been picked to do a job and has picked up vital wickets at times as well.
Congrats to Michael Clarke as 8,000 runs in Test Cricket is another accomplishment. 8Ball is 100% correct. One of the most pleasing things from this summer has been that it hasn't been Michael Clarke doing all the heavy lifting with the bat.
Clark's decision to bowl first has been well and truly vindicated.
Were you watching? Your argument is fair enough for Rogers but the game was all but over and the poms looked broken and defeated by the time Watson came out to bat.
You are a first class f**khead.
Watson could have fallen cheap and then we're 2/40ish and the Poms would have had their heads up.
Everything you say is utter bullshit
