Bad timing & letting your team mates down Graham. You're losing and you want to stop. Poor show should have seen the next two out and then retired."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

Really bad form to do that. I don't believe it had anything to do with his arm struggling on the second innings, he just wanted to head home for the holidays.Comment

Watching it play out, even for a draw is a great end to this match.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).Comment

After one decent day yesterday, normal service has been resumed. Expect Australia to chase this down and win by 6 or 7 wickets to take a 4-0 lead."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

Watched the play from 2.30 to finish this morning. All full of hope and then some of the dumbest play I've ever seen in a test match. The tail is appalling.Originally posted by Ruprect View PostAfter one decent day yesterday, normal service has been resumed.

I've been watching through the night most of the series, sleeping for a bit then watching a bit etc. but after last nights performance they can get ****ed I am not wasting my sleep time for that kind of performance.
Flat pitch, first innings lead, the game for the taking.....4 of the wickets were complete giveaways and 5 ducks in the innings FFS!Comment
