Ashes 5th Test Sydney Discussion (Pink Test)

[wristwatcher]

Gone on a fine sunny day on day 3 in 31 overs. Pathetic, spineless cricket England.

5-0 is exactly what you deserve.

[dedja]

This is nearly a bigger implosion that both world trade centres ... Stokes the only Pom that can hold his head high.

And he's not even a pom!! Where is Christchurch? That's in England! Alot to like about him though, very good talent. I hope to see alot of him, showed alot of potential in a struggling team, was the only positive for England all series along with Broad with the ball I guess.

LOL, if the England team just relied on real Poms then they'd be ... well ... shit ... oh, hang on

[grant j]

Result not that surprising considering in the last 3 years they have only won 4 tests outside the UK

2011 v Australia
2012 v Sri Lanka
2012 v India (2)

[Squids]

BANG!

[LaughingKookaburra]

After seeing Bailey cracking open those beers after the WACA Test he deserved the next 2 Tests...

[mal]

A special mention for the following English players
Cook
Carberry
Pietersen
Bell
Broad
Anderson

These guys are an ornament to English cricket
They played in all 5 tests and didn't quit

Can add Rankin (Irish) and Ballance (Zimbabwean) to the list of imports.

Normally im a big fan of Boof but reckon he has got it wrong with his criticism of the SCG pitch. Labelled it unfit for a test, im sick of roads being dished up in Australia and it was great to see a green top, who cares if it only goes 2-3 days. We will get similar served up to us in South Africa

That's why I'm a tad worried about the saffer series

We will know whose up to it after they face steyn, morkel and philander on their decks

What was wrong with it. Surely not complaining about how green it was. The ball breaking the surface and inconsistent bounce on day 3 maybe. 5th day would have been very hard to bat on, but that's expected.

[tigerpie]

Its called TEST cricket for a reason and the last time i looked 2 teams had to bat on it. One bloke made a second innings hundred and Smith wore plenty on the fingers before mastering the conditions.

It was very grassy, but that doesnt effect the bounce....its the cracks hidden in the grass that does that. Would have been difficult to bat on for sure, so i really rate Smiths hundred.
