Those two things combined were worth 89 runs… so frustrating.

Fuck sake, got my hopes up for a second.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Ffs. I thought the swamp had burned to the ground for a min.

Ah shit you beat me two it by two weeks.

Don't be silly 2-0 up,they will celebrate.

The more they have to bowl, the more it takes out of the tank for Thursday. Every over helps.

 

[trueblue1972]

There are only about 3 no balls/wides difference between the 2 teams so it can't be blamed on extras

 

[Nellies left peg]

I may be in the minority but Bairstow had only himself to blame as it was not the first time he had done it and if you try and intimidate the Aussies like we have with all this talk of Bazball bollocks you reap what you sow

2-0 is a joke of a scoreline.

 

[N1985]

Ponting is insufferable

Aus 1st innings 38 extras
Eng 1st innings 20 extras
Aus 2nd innings 36 extras
Eng 2nd innings 17 extras

I make that 74 to 37, not counting runs scored off the extra deliveries.

Oh well, a great effort by England but a disappointing result for the series. Attention will inevitably turn on those two controversial decisions, but I hope we don't have to suffer so much short stuff for the remainder of the summer. A pitch with some lateral movement and turn would be nice.

It's not so wide when you look at wides and no-balls.

 

[CarlosTevez'sEnglishTutor]

I'm no Pep but that looked like it came down to game management again like the first test. Fine margins.

One thing I will say, and without an invitation to do so, is fucking cheating Australian cunts. Always have been, always will be. Truly the Germans of cricket. Insufferable set of cunts.

Only counting no balls and wides ... I guess you could add byes also , but you can't realy count leg byes

 

[cleavers]

Played shit for 2 days out of 5, hardly a big surpise they lost again.
