And still going to finish the series empty handed.
We would beat them 4-0 over here and the only the crap Sydney weather would prevent it being a whitewash
whilst i agree 100%, what has happened is they have dared us to not bat like them. As Aussies we bat like they have as a normal part of cricket, for them its attacking. Our best teams of the Hayden , Ponting era went at the rate of bazball without giving it a label. By them giving it a name, they have sent us back into our shell to try and prove that "boring" cricket can work and thats not the way Australia play, we like to boss teams just like theyre doing now. They have out Australiad us if you like, its a disgrace. the way Lab and Khawaja batted in the first innings here was a disgrace. TBH we were very lucky in the 1st test, more shouldve and wouldve been made of the way Khawaja batted and nearly cost us the game if we had of lost and i think it wouldve been 4-0 had it not been for Cummins and Lyon in the 1st test.
if they come to Australia with the same mindset next series they will flog us
