***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[vcs]

Well done Australia - The Urn Returns.

If they can find another middle order batsman of Smith's level (or a little below, because let's face it, there aren't many of those knocking about), they will have a good chance of retaining it in England. I think Hazlewood is going to clean up over there next time.

Yeah but the Poms also beat the Saffas at home

We always beat SA in SA too. Ain't that big an achievement.

Smith's level is way too high to aim at. We need to go back to 1940s to find someone as good.

Reckon how we fare in England depends on who their bowlers are. If no Anderson and Broad England's bowling looks very weak to me.

The main issue though is that Smith seems to struggle in swinging conditions.

Perfection by Aussies.

Everyone does. If he sets his mind up like he did before playing spin in India, he'll be great in England as well next time around.

Congratulations Aussies on a well deserved win! 5-0 beckons.

Hard hitting questions from Mark Nicholas truly

 

[Heboric]

Congrats Australia, its going to be tough for the Proteas next year.

But can someone explain does actual science work differently in England, whats Michael Vaughn on about, that is not a young English side

 

[Fuller Pilch]

England has now lost 7 consecutive tests away from home. 5-0 then 2-0 in NZ will make 11

Well done Australia. Would love to say something insightful but don’t have it in me right now. Disappointed for sure though from a lot of perspectives. Typical English reaction I would guess.

 

[StephenZA]

Well done to Aus getting the job done.... booo on England expected better from them.....

Lol you guys are so cute

 

[Pothas]

All very familiar. Not nearly as depressing as last time around, feels like a pre-2005 tour to me.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Good point. Rain cost us one or two test wins against South Africa last season and the same could happen against the Poms

Nice use of New Order's 'Crystal' for the closing highlights montage on Sky.

 

[Burgey]

My only concern with the way this has gone is Smith doing to Cummins what Waugh did to Lee.

It's basically an admission that without Jimmy England will transition from mediocre to rubbish.

Cummins has got so much to go before he's extracting the pace from this action and got the matches under the belt. This bowling is good for him imo, needs to bank
