That's fair enough. As I said, England deserve the victory here. The only way Australia deserve anything out of it is if these two performa miracle and bat for the rest of the game. Won't happen though and England will be 1 up.What I mean is, for once England's best team played better than Australia's best team. The fact that Australia had to underperform very badly indeed for it to happen doesn't damage the good-ness of that.

It was about the banning of Harbhajan mostly. The removal of Bucknor was secondary from what I remember.

You talking about the Swann one? Please. You can't give that. It didn't look like it had enough room to keep spinning seems Haddins leg looked like it was pointing somewhere towards the middle of cover and point.

Yeah, sure, because these circumstances sure bear huge resemblence to those where an Umpire who they've justifiably regarded with suspicion for the best part of a decade has accused them of cheating.

Good knock from Pup. On the attack, striking at 86 is pretty good. Fantastic shots.
Reversing massively for Flintoff. Surely he won't last much longer, as long as Broad doesn't pitch it up and Jimmy doesn't get swing, we should be alright for a bit.

Wasn't convinced on first sighting that Hussey nicked it. Actually helped that Prior didn't glove it, makes it seem more likely that he's nicked it when he goes to first slip.

Anderson still 0-52.

I challenge anyone to find someone better.
I said it a few hundred posts back - difficult right now to conceive him ever getting out to a spinner again.

I don't really have much to say but having read the last 20 pages in one sitting, it makes for a hilarious read. And some semi-serious Pom-bagging going on too, get the impression that ye olde crims don't like us much. It's great to read through.
Let's be honest, with cloud cover and the conditions, Aussies were never going to win this. These decisions were poor but it might give you an extra day to recover and get your heads sorted before the next tour game.
Maybe I'm seeing it with rose-tints 'cos we're winning but I don't see this as a disaster at all for the Ashes!

I dunno. I've found that in recent times him and in general the rest of the Australian side are superb against poor spin or good spinners on flat tracks but as soon as you get quality spin, or spin on spinning tracks, they're all at sea. That's not even bringing into account their batting vs one-day spin which has been abysmal over the past year.

Also a very fast knock. One of the fastest of the series. Hope he goes on to get a ton. hell a double ton.Top knock Clarkey. If only someone stayed with you.
