    There was 15 minutes between my post and the wicket, not taking the blame for that one!

    Australian batsmen don't have the temperament or technique for test cricket anymore sadly. It sucks. SA had the right idea when they toured England, starve them of opportunities, take the ones and twos and dispatch the bad balls, i.e. risk free cricket. England would wait for the mistake and it never happened. I think it's about outlasting your opponent and Australia have been sloppy and easy to break down.

    Cricket is a mystery to me. I believe it is one of 2 sports that are good to play, but boring as hell to watch (Golf being the other one)

    It's a hard sport to get into if you are new, and can understand why many believe it's boring. Today was tedious, despite England crushing the Aussies.

    We haven't won a match there since 1993... and.. I haven't rated this ODI side for years. That having been said, I think we need some of our players back now, England. <laugh> <laugh>
