Not sure myself, doesn't look the same bowler, and Bres did okay last time.Tremmers a must for Oz decks, IMHO.

Make sure you doI don't know because I didn't want to miss any of the post match stuff.
They post it online so will have a look tomorrow.
Screen shot?Superb troll face
He has, bowled better this series than in any of his previous ashes series and before this game had ordinary figures. Would imagine he may enjoy the pitch in the last test too.Fine effort from Broad. Really getting a bit of overdue reward as he's bowled well most of the series without a great deal of luck. Eleven in a match a superb performance in anyone's book.
Can say the same about Watson, Smith and Hughes after this series. Too many ordinary players in the top 6.Khawaja is done. He's just not good enough. I wouldn't be letting him anywhere near the team until he piles on some runs in the Shield, which he simply hasn't done.
This. People going on and on about how England are only playing at about 80% is really starting to annoy me. Perhaps it's just that Australia have a teriffic new ball attack (spear-headed by one of the top 2 bowlers in the world), and Cook and Trott are unable to handle it. Combine that with the fact that Root has looked vulnerable against the new ball since the tour of NZ, Bairstow doesn't really look up to it and England's options for the 3rd seamer spot (whether it be Bres, Finn or whoever) aren't as good as Australia's, and it really should be no surprise that the series has been as keenly fought as it has.Honestly I think this about as good as England are but then they have not lost for 12 tests so it is not really anything to complain about.
I agree on the bowlers but KP, Trott and Cook averaging 30 odd and Prior less than 20 shows clearly that they could play better. Don't know how anyone could argue that England couldn't play any better.This. People going on and on about how England are only playing at about 80% is really starting to annoy me.

This England side has definite weaknesses, but they also have (on average) a strong batting lineup and a world-class spin option. People should stop expecting them to be Australia circa 2000, and just be satisfied that they're winning consistently against all comers.
That's not what it was designed to do. The system would be completely different if that is what the requirements were.i really hate this drs should only be for howlers sentiment. it should be to get the decision correct, whether it's a close call or not.
