Well done Siddle on taking a wicket. At least Siddle is bowling to the right areas.

Thats abit over the top TF.Ricky isn,t playing for Carlton.

He challenged for the video replay, lost the challenge and still disputes it?? That's arrogance.
 
What a terrible ( but obviously it was coming) display by the Aussies. Amused by those who think there's little between these 2 teams. Ludicrous.

Oh yes we are being *smile*ed.

That was Riewoldt in disguise.

Pommies should have the Ashes retained by tomorrow afternoon IMO.

Cricket Australia needs to be overhauled quick.

I admit i thought the two sides were quite evenly matched at the start of the series. Perhaps it was blind faith. However, we have been shown up in almost every conceivable area in this series, except in one test where everything had to go our way and pretty much did.

Our bats are flat track bullies who really struggle when the wicket has some life and sideways movement-has been this way for a long time. Ponting's decline has been rather rapid- he was our best batsman in india but hasn't looked like it here. As Michael Vaughan said, our top 6 is the weakest Aussie top order in recent memory. And ort bowling? Good god, it is pedestrian. we need conditions to be in our favour otherwise we are cannon fodder.

Perth was an aberration- i got my hopes up after that, but reality has bitten hard.
