*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[morgieb]

Today really was a shocking effort from England. Yes the game was a forgone conclusion but you'd expect that they'd hang around until lunch at least.....

 

[Spark]

The awkward sub is being awkward again

 

[Son Of Coco]

YESSSS!

Great work to finish it off so quickly this morning. 180 and 120 is pretty poor and England would quite rightly be very disappointed, but Australia bowled much better this test.

And 6 to Rhino.

He's definitely ok.

Man of the Match? Probably Mitch for the first innings demolition job and runs...

 

[Ausage]

Brilliant. Great performance. Almost forgot what it was like to have pride in my cricket team. Johnson, Hussey and Harris take bows.

 

[Spikey]

The awkward sub is being awkward again

Jeez Ricky shake his hand too you bitch.

 

[Pothas]

Well that was pathetic.

Well played Australia, Johnson, Harris and Hussey were all superb.

Really hard to call the rest of the series though, England can certainly still win in it.

 

[Rant0r]

Well done Harris

 

[Son Of Coco]

Jeez Ricky shake his hand too you bitch.

Yeah, agree actually. The bloke's been out there filling in, acknowledge him at least.

 

[Rant0r]

And he's reportedly a future star

 

[Zinzan]

They could almost split the MOTM 3-ways for this game; Johnson, Hussey & Harris

 

[Spark]

I was expecting a repeat of Headingley 09, with Bell and Prior or Swann to smash belligerent cameos, and that it'd take us until just after lunch to wrap it out. To wrap it up before drinks is quite something.

Surely MOTM has to be Johnson. You have to remember the 62 he scored first dig too.

 

[TumTum]

Liking Smith in the slips.

 

[Oscillatingmind]

who was the acting 12th?

Oh Victory, MOM has to be Johnson, made the first innings more respectable and got wickets

 

[GIMH]

Well played Oz

 

[M0rphin3]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss

Harris wag btw

 

[Zinzan]

Amazing, momentum is everything when these two sides play, shades of 2009 already.

The Ashes is cricket

 

[vcs]

Johnson vs. Hussey for MoTM is very close. I'd give it to Johnson, for the sheer match-turning oomph that he provided in this match. But **** me, Hussey has been sensational this series.

 

[Ausage]

Yeah mom for Johnson. In another match Hussey or Harris would be a shoe in though. Great performances.

 

[vcs]

Now that we know that these sides are closely matched, let's hope the last two Tests are like some of the Ashes 2005 Tests or the ones between India and Australia earlier this year.

 

[Pothas]

Got to be Mitch, as mentioned those runs were really crucial. If Australia had been all out for under 200 in the first innings things could have been very different.
