Yep
Healy gets a lot of stick but I reckon his comments were spot on
"Bowling has been testing but nothin more than you'd expect from a good international attack. Batting has been very ordinary and this is simply a capitulation."

Whatever it takes!!!
That is what I meant.. It is like having to listen to Sunny on Sachin, but all through the game..

Should be a fascinating series and Australia have a decent chance especially since Murali is gone. If they bring in some new batsmen, it will be a great learning experience for them.

Trying to think the last time we went to SL. Seems a hell of a long time.

Yeah, I agree with most of this. England simply far too good bar a blip in Perth. Gave us false hope for a micro-second, but a loss was all bar inevitable given the way things were going this series.
England just a better prepared team who largely bowled and batted better than us for a majority of the series.
Don't agree on us being a 'good' team though at the moment. We've been shown to be pretty mediocre this series. Once or twice a player or two have stood up with the bat, and we bowled alright as a team for a game too. It's been largely below par though. England have shown what preparation, confidence, and sticking to your plans with the bat and ball can do over the length of a series.
We've had a lot of players prove to be below par in this series. Whether it's due to a lack of application, England working them out and dominating them, or a mixture of both...I guess we'll find out in the next series.

2004. Kat's played there too. Although I think only one test thanks to Andrew Symonds somehow replacing him for the first two tests

Yeah spot on SoC. England have been good but I think mediocre is a bit too generous. 2 innings defeats in 4 tests at home doesn't happen unless you're playing rubbish against very good opposition.
Watching Ponting fade before our eyes is particularly depressing. The guy has been a rock in our side since before I can remember. He really looks like a spent force now.
Anyway well played England. The bowling in particular has been great. Even after several changes they look very well organized. Mark of a very good unit IMO.
Doesn't change the fact that Anderson is a **** who needs a smack on the chops tbh.

Only a **** could take being called a **** as a compliment.
