[mighty_tiger_79]

hughes is goneski

Hussey must be close

Ponting will see the summer out

:-l Very sad day in Australia Test Cricket History, put it on a par with losing the Ashes but at least England had a 3/4 decent team

Agreed
Bloody Bracewell would struggle to knock over a shield side. Lyon shows more ticker than most of the top 6.
The 3 guys with the most experience got out to the 3 worst shots today.
Someone has to pay the price for this

You are spot on Jim but I have a horrid feeling that yet again there will be very little if any changes

ok time to bring on the next generation... surely what has happened with the quick bowlers will encourage them to bring on some changes. Hughes, Ponting, Hussey and Haddin to go, maybe not all at once but need to get the wheels in motion.

Yep, I'd rather lose to India and begin a rebuilding process opposed to continue with the current team.

Thankfully, couldn't bare losing the series to a District Cricket side

Thank God - we would've lost a series to them in Oz!

That's what happens when you take 10 men in to a match. Selection of Hughes was a disgrace. Never has someone so out of sorts been given the chances he has.

ricky ponting? over 2 years of chances

Second top scorer wasnt he?
At least he batted for more than 5 minutes unlike the skipper. Thought he batted ok until he got out but should be dropped next test along with Ponting, Hussey and Haddin.
Clarke needs to be hauled over the coals for his batting this test

Mark Taylor was given and endless lifeline.

Wasn't he unofficially out for 0......

[valleys07]

Second top scorer wasnt he?

If we want to get technical jim he really made 0

[Squids]

Bracewell very stiff for MOTM

[Johno6]

He should've been out for 0. He didn't technically make 0

Devastating to watch at the end there.
Should of never go to that stage. But at least it got exciting

[Jim05]

Second top scorer wasnt he?

If we want to get technical jim he really made 0

Yeah but he had a break and batted well, if he had got out yesterday we would have been rolled for 150.
Batted sensibly yesterday

[MAY-Z]

Bracewell very stiff for MOTM

shouldve been bracewell he won the game, if aus had won it had to be warner

[Squids]

My ratings for Aus players in this series out of 10

Warner 4
Hughes -1
Khawaja 3
Ponting 3
Clarke 5
Hussey 2 (from his bowling, batting 0)
Haddin 4.5
Pattinson 9
Siddle 8
Lyon 7
Starc 4

[scoob]

Poor indication of the current side the last 3 MOTM have a handful of test between them! Bring on the other young lads!

and perhaps if he had held the catch in the gully off of Taylor before he had made double figures the rfesulot may have been different as well.

All these if's and buts, makes test cricket the game it is
