I know I am older than most on here but I still struggle to believe that this Australia team is as bad as this. The teams I grew up watching cannot have become this shambles -- and dont think this England team is anything special, good but especially well drilled and focused.

Who said that? Most Aussie fans here were very wary of Swann

Not really saying he was worse, I don't think anyone really knows what happened with Watson's review because we don't know what happened in the conversation. If Rogers told him that it was hitting and he still reviewed it's obviously really dumb, but we don't know that. Either way, I don't see how you can say on the one hand that Watson should have known he was plumb and shouldn't have reviewed but Rogers had no idea his LBW was missing leg by six inches and thus bears no responsibility for not reviewing, but whatever. I mostly think it's silly to blame Watson's wasted review on getting bowled out for ~100 on a road when he scored a quarter of the runs.

Leads me to believe that Pattinson has a better technique than most of the top order.

I'm no expert on technique but Khawaja's did not look right at all against Swann.Leads me to believe that Pattinson has a better technique than most of the top order.

was defending straight down the line, in front of his pad, was covering the straight one well but looked certain to nick anything that turned, no feet movement, couldn't get back to cut/pull or forward to drive with any conviction, looked awful IMO.
