Marsh and Lillee are already in prison. Let's let bygones be bygones.
Can see Clarke and Ponting seeing it through tomorrow morning.
Still Hussey and Haddin to come if not.

I disagree it wasnt a cracking test series.A two test series is stretching it a bit to be called a series espeically when one side was so obviously undercooked.
Its a shame the average test cricket fan is been deprived. A three test series against the saffers next summer against England is a disgrace
First two test matches:
Swann - average of 39.5
Tahir - 38.25
Legspin is a much harder act to perform than a standard offie

Fantastic stuff. Great to see the team England wiped the floor with draw a series against the team supposed to be one our closest rivals for the number one spot.
Great opportunity for a world class leg spinner to win a test match for his country and he blew it :-(

Just pulling your leg bud
its hugely dissapointing to only get a two test 'series' to watch

Did many show up to actually watch it?
irrelevant. Boards make the most money by selling rights to overseas broadcasters which is why smaller football nations lick their lips when they draw England in qualifiers
It was disappointing there weren't more matches. That was a great match to watch, in the balance from start to finish, plenty there for the batsmen, something in the pitch for the bowlers and all 3 results possible for most of the game. A perfect test match.
It's just a shame we don't now have a series decider to look forward to, should have been at least 3 tests in this series.
At least we've got Australia v New Zealand coming up, should be a fun contest between 2 evenly matched teams
Watched highlights without knowing the score. There have been some tremendous tests over the last few years. Anyone else reckon it's actually getting better as a game?
