Lol @ Smiffy.

Didn’t take a lot of lip reading skill to realise what he said.

I'm bored.

Since the end of an era in 2005, and despite everything on paper blah blah blah...

England have won 3 tests from 20 in Australia. They've lost 14 possibly 15. Drawn 2 possibly 3. They've had two whitewashes.

0-5
3-1
0-5
0-3•

From 2005, and at Australia's worst between 2009 and 2013, in England. Australia have lost series as follows.

2005 2-1 2 draws
2009 2-1 2 draws
2013 3-0 2 draws
2015 3-2

England 10 wins, Australia 4 wins and 6 draws.

So of 40 tests Australia have won 18 possibly 19, England 13 and 8 maybe 9 draws.

Paine and Starc are gonna have a sloggity slog here surely (Starc always does because hes a bit simple)

You have to wonder how Starc got 99 in India in 2013.

So basically both teams are trash

Typical of M Marsh to promise the world and deliver an atlas.

Fails to deliver the big score when his country needs it.

Great stats for Aus when broken down but all that tells anyone is that England have won 5 of the last 8 series played.

Poms are rubbish, I agree with ya.
