Thanks England , cricket is the loser, why ruin a great series ??????
I agree. It's only a cloud. Soft fecking southerner Trescothick. Vaughan obviously spends too much time down there, too. He's starting to look more and more Southern

If you don't think any other team would not do the same in this situation you're delusional. And remember Australia have came off twice for bad light this test.

Yet another spineless use of cheap tactics by England. That's all I'll remember from this series (as sad as it sounds, that's all I will remember. Flintoff's amazing performances, S. Jones, Strauss, etc)

EDIT: yes, I'm sorry, I exaggerated there, England has been extremely good - I'm just a bit angry at the moment. Let me simmer :)

Yeah. That means it's a problem which runs through the core of cricket the world round. It doesn't make it right

ohh you mean according to the rules of the game not the spirit.
Cough, whinging on radio about umpiring decisions, appealing vehemently after the umpire says not out, ranting at the umpire and opposition coach, harassing the umpire after every very good shout is turned down.

It was pitch black out there, man! The umpires even gave them a bit of leeway - and McGrath responded by bowling a bouncer!

Against Flintoff and Harmison.

And really, I think the umpires have an obligation, rather than going with the whim of the crowd and the batting captain who wants to end the play, to do everything they reasonably can to get cricket played. In that sort of light win spin from each ends, it's utterly ridiculous to go off at the expense of a competitive finish to the series.
