All over.

I predicted Eng/SA to win at Gabba and a draw here.

Looks like the other way around.

Below average bowling and batting. On to Perth for another 5 days of pointless arguing.

Can't wait.
Go on fella, say it. "Well played England". It won`t hurt I promise. thumbup
It would be churlish for me to congratulate only 3/4 of the team wink

England/SA have played well - the scoreboard does not lie.

It would be more meaningful without watching bowlers who have taken wickets in India, SA etc for the past 12 months bowling with no control.

It is all they do - practice where to bowl. Watching them not doing the basics is frustrating.

Australia have a very very simple task ahead - bowl on one side of the wicket, on a consistent length. If opposition hits runs when you bowl in good places- that is cricket.

You are the only one pointless arguing laugh
I could just bide my time and wait for you guys to lose a test and call for the sacking of Flower, the dropping of Bell or KP (how many times have I read that on here!).

I remember the panic when Eng/SA lost in Headingley last time 'round - doesn't take much for you guys to lose the faith.


Unfortunately, your team are better than that these days.

Enjoy the win - your team have outplayed the Australians this time.

I'm still not entirely sure that an English win by an innings in Australia is quite computing in my head at the moment...

I think the only batsman in the Aussie side there is a question mark over is North. I really don't think there is that much in it between the batting line up's on paper (though the England players en masse are in great form). It's the bowling and fielding that there is an absolute gulf in at the moment.

Fantastic performance. An absolute hammering in all parts of the game. Gonna be interesting to see what happens to the Aus team for the next match. Bloody well played England.
