rubbish

england played to their full potential and forced errors out of the aussies.
How you can say 1 umpire decision made the series is laughable, we had more than a few s**t ones go against us.
We won the last series by having a four prong attack, all bowling well with venom, but a collective range of deliveries. They moved the ball, changed the pace, pitch and bounce, and many of the aussie top order never settled. That's what won it.
It's also the reason I fear its going to be a long winter, Harmy is off form, Hoggy won't get the swing, and Jones (massively underated IMHO) is a huge loss to the team.
