Embarrassing them now. I love it

Australia 5-0 prior to the series must have been 100/1. It's probably into $1.65 now

Where is MAL?
This is the Watson we all have been waiting to see, good mature knock.
Rogers has been fantastic aswell, probably cemented his spot for a few tours atleast, may even make it back to Boxing Day next year

this summer just keeps getting better!

I think Rogers will go around until he retires.

Boof has shown he like team selection consistency.

His the perfect foil to Warner. Wouldn't be easy batting with Warner always being second fiddle, even the crowd don't want to see you on strike.

His experienced and mature enough to stick to his natural game.

[dedja]

Great knock Rogers, pity he didn't see it out for the winning runs ...

[Squids]

Wait till Watson gets runs before the pressure is really on before you start to claim he has arrived.

[whufc]

Might have to organise some friendlies against Australia A so our guys can have a decent hitout before the Saffies series

Yep the Saffies series will really test where Warner, Watson, Smith, Bailey (hope doesn't get picked) are at

[mal]

Will this series go down as one of the greatest upsets in world sports.

You could written your own odds for 4-0 Aus after 4

This has movie written all over it! Shrek to star as 'boof'

NO
Sorry , I have to disagree with you for a rare time
AU beat IN 4-0 in Australia
IN beat AU 4-0 in India

EG beat AU 3-0 in England
AU 4-0 up in Australia

I backed EG to win the Ashes in England for a poultice
This time round I didnt back EG
I decided pre series to back AU at the Gabba and Perth where they have a great record against the Pom

I didnt expect a 4-0 lead, I had thought about 2-2 all pre series start
But 4-0 does not surprise me either

[Jim05]

Jimmy you muppet!!

[dedja]

Watto with a brain fade but survives ... cameraman and the Poms have NFi where the ball went.

Here I am
Guy does a good job for an allrounder , cripple, and a guy that plays all 3 forms of cricket for his country
Some posters expect too much from him
Not every batting allrounder can be as good as Kallis and Sobers

He has not been the matchwinner in the Test arena Ive expected
But
He is a limited overs superstar

Now that Kallis will retire , Watto would most likely be the BEST batting allrounder between Earth and Jupiter

Watto averages 40 + batting top 3 and is a good supplementary bowler giving other bowlers a rest

[dedja]

finish it off with a six ...

Agree

I still don't think Watto is a test number 3 though, ideally I would love to see him come in at 6

Is Watto the best '5th' bowler in world cricket now Kallis is retired.

[Jim05]

There it is!!!
What a demolition

[dedja]

4-0 suck shit Poms ...

[stampy]

wonder how piers is going

[Jim05]

Rogers a bit stiff not to get MOTM, thought he slightly shaded Mitch

[mal]

Best part about an early Test Match day finish
Can now attend to a few odd jobs
Have Tea
Then settle in for the Sydney Sixers vrs the Melbourne Jimo5's Big Bash game
