yep, 3-0 didn't reflect the series and a couple of individuals kept us ahead of the aussies (bell, broad). unfortunately the change in coach for the aussies is the major catalyst for this resurgence in the aussie team. the change in the likes of johnson and warner is quite evident since he came in as well in the team as a whole.

good. it might shake them up a bit. our batting collapses this series so far: 4 for 4, 4 for 9 and now 3 for 0 (an a flat pitch!)

we're mentally out of it.

Looks to me like most of them mentally are on the flight home already.
