"Absolutely stupid - that's a useless review. Why would he review that? Why would the captain review that? I saw Clarke sort of shrug and say 'let's try it'. Reviewing is not about trying it on - it's to overturn a genuinely bad decision."

Get into them Geoffrey!
 
I have no idea how Clarke couldn't see that edge. It's defiated so much it's missed Prior's goves by about 18 inches, onto his leg. Would be hilarious now if he got give out to an absolute stinker and couldn't review it.

Natural born cheats, chancers and pisstakers.
 
and so much for us preparing 5 pitches to suit our bowlers... decent batting track this.

Will have to wait until both sides have batted but aye it looks like draw pitch....unless it breaks up in the next day or so.

People are forgetting a draw is enough, a few years ago we would have been praying for this result. Far too many people getting caught up in the 10-0 hype.

Australia are not a great team but neither are we, the gulf between the sides was far greater when the Aussies had their all stars.

That's very true. The strange thing about this series for me is that it feels like we're only ahead because Australia have batted so badly. Uncharted territory :shock:

Our bowlers deserve a lot of credit but even then, we haven't looked like we've had the same level of bowling tactics that we had under Vaughan for instance.
