What a farce. Poms hopeless. Having said that they did get shafted three times by the DRS, in my view. Home town decisions that stayed out due to “umpires call” ruined any chance of a decent match. What a shame.
The poms missed the perfect opportunity to show a decent sense of humour by sending someone out on the end of day 2 with a white flag on their bat DRS has showed how dreadful the poms are, they got away with rubbish in the past
Excellent! I had Christmas in South Coongarri. Just got back over the border into Palastacia Nannastate.
Bwahaha: "Smith was in the lift longer than any of the England batsmen spent at the crease in their second innings in the third Test, other than England skipper Joe Root" https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-31/steve-smith-stuck-in-hotel-lift/100732508

I’m beginning to think that next time there is a drought somewhere all we need to do is schedule a Test match…
That was a joke. Was shaping up as a decent contest. But they threw it away in an embarrassing way. I love a contest. And that was rubbish.
Joe Rooted wouldn't crack 500 runs for the year if he played against Australia all year ..... and that fwit Warner would be in the same boat
