its an absolute joke, it really was nice bowling shane.

i cant believe they lost it, i really cant.
how can you fall apart like that.
imagine the odds you would have got on an anustralian victory before they got there 500 odd, when they were about 60 for 3.

england fell apart and they deserve everything they got for letting them back into the game, no killer instinct.

you saw the damage warne done. why cant monty do it,. get him in now,

a fucking disgrace, 5 - 0 on the cards, as i predicted. i hoped i was wrong but i cant see it being anything but now.

imagine in the next test. how many runs do england think there gonna need now to won one, they must think they cant, after that.

shit shit fucking shit. wank bollocks fuck. that sums it up.

anyway nice bowling shane, im not a bad loser i just like to see my teams try and then i dont mind.
