Don't get me wrong, I want to see a whitewash but either as a result of a close contest or as in 2007-08 as a demonstration of absolute prowess, not just cos one team is rubbish. But to be honest a lot of them don't look like they give a fuck and the rest look scared. The spirit of the baggy green has been absolutely broken it would seem.

i'll say that in 3 series times cos i couldn't give a fuck if we do a 10 nowt whitewash over the next 2 series cos the ozzies are shit :lol::lol:

I know we have batted our way into certainly winning the test and although Im not a fan of limited overs crap - today has been awfully boring. Bumble has said the same...

nah we're cricket's Eddie Charlton, we're playing for snookers marra 8-)
 
Well I'm off to get pissed. Quick 22 from Root tomorrow, then get the shite in and then out for about 140. simple
 
Damn if it wasnt for those 6's would have declared in the morning.

Now would give Root 8 overs to get his 200 then declare. 170 overs at them should be 120 overs too many ;)

On form he isn't, and Id say in absolute terms he's behind Cook and maybe KP as well. He's pretty decent but no more. Certainly not better than Cook at his best.

I'd agree with that. On form, Bell's the stand out batsman in the two teams.

Brilliant by Root - shades of Lara here.....Taken the slip out? Well let me nudge it for 2 through slip then....

That was terrific. Bell's did the same earlier...
 
Clarke would walk in our team tbf but he's the only one. I quite like Rodgers but is he really going to play in the reverse series? If not, what's he doing here when they're 2-0 down? Steve Smith seems to have improved a bit but still iffy at best, Watson and Haddin are both a waste of time really and Warner, Cowan, Khawaja, Hughes etc are all shit. Great stuff. 8-)

Don't know how anyone can complain about today being "boring" tbh, we've smashed them into the ground. Root and Bell were superb. I want Root to bring up his 200 tomorrow.
