Take that Swann haters. Took out 2 dangerous lefties. Just what he as an offie had to/Except Ponting. Otherwise he'd not have asked for verification.

He has every right to. 3 out of 5 wickets so far have been not out. This is terrible.Looks like yet ANOTHER harsh wicket, no doubt Ricky will be on a huge moaning session.
And that Symonds and Ponting nicked back which were heard in London but not somehow reached the eardrums of Bucknor.On day 5 in Sydney Dravid was given out caught behind and he didn't hit it. Completely out of character of course, anumber of Indian fans saw this as a sign of enormous conspiracy because "Gilchrist and all the close fielders MUST have known he didn't hit it".
We don't mention they lost 9 other wickets in 2 sessions incl 3 in the last over to a part timer on a featherbed.
Oooh - nice arm ball there from Swann does for North.
He looked remarkably un-discontented for one who knew so obviously.Why wouldn't he? He must have known he didn't hit it.
Arm ball?
Nope, but it was certainly a quicker one.
True. How quickly we forget. Was thinking it was Hussey who got the hundred for some reason.Yeah, he looked dreadful in that very most recent game where he was helping put Australia in an impregnable position.
On closer inspection, I don't think that ball actually hit the stumps. Was more of a sudden dramatic wind change I think. Terrible stroke of luck for North.
Completely disagree, I found the appealing of england in australias innings in cardiff at times to be comical. Sure they were desperate for anything but it was embarrising.Thing is, your point is (with respect) a really poor one. Prior should have appealed for that 100 times out of 100. And given Australia's record of over-appealing both in recent years and (on numerous occasions) at Cardiff, it really doesn't sit easily for Aussie fans to complain about other side's over-appealing
Look on the bright side - you were going to lose anyway.He has every right to. 3 out of 5 wickets so far have been not out. This is terrible.
Perhaps because he smashed one in the warm-up.True. How quickly we forget. Was thinking it was Hussey who got the hundred for some reason.
Yeah, agree entirely. Beginning to wonder if Clarke is ever going to get out to a spinner again TBH.Would take Swann off now..Haddin and Clarke good players of spin.
????No doubt about that one. North really looking poor in this series.
Not sure that was the only thing we were bitching about tbh. I maintain if they left the Harbhajan thing and sorted it out after the match none of the tension would've been there despite the umpiring.On day 5 in Sydney Dravid was given out caught behind and he didn't hit it.

If the umpires got that decision correct who know's how he would have went? He could have cracked a double century and won us the game. As unlikely as it is, it's possible.Cracking call.
Yes but if they can't , for example Johnsons inability to not bowl pies, changes have to be made.Worst test performance from Australia in recent memory?
Hard to say what changes (realistically) would help. Think we have the team pretty much right, they just need the current team to play better.
Yup. Good to know that for once England's best was conclusively better than Australia's best.Worst test performance from Australia in recent memory?

Guess they were rolled over for a big margin in the India series. But yes, against the "enemy" it adds salt to the wound.Worst test performance from Australia in recent memory?
