Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3542507, member: 8423"] Well that and more dropped catches from an Australian team than I have ever seen. This test alone has probably cost Australia around 200 runs. Plus all of the 50/50 LBW calls have gone England's way and this isn't a criticism of the umpires, just the way the luck has gone with those. This is the difference between chasing 400 and 200, HUGE difference. And goodness me, some of those LBW reviews has me seriously doubting DRS. Some of those balls were going at right angles / vertical after hitting I know I've been very negative but the positives are: - Australia can absolutely win this but they need to go aggressive, none of this passive rubbish, fight fire with fire - Australia's bowlers, despite being rubbish at times, have created so many chances / half chances that if England weren't so lucky with where their mishits go and Australia so bad at catching, this series could have been a cake walk for Australia - Murphy is a gun in the making - he isn't there yet but he has something about him, should have been bowled more and he is a decent batsman, Australia has something pretty good developing in him Time to start phasing in gen next in the next series, even if Lyon is fit, I'd still be looking at opportunities to giving Murphy tests as well, perhaps with them in tandem. Need to move past Boland as the spare bowler and look at giving Richardson / Morris / Hardie, etc. Hopefully a batsman or two in Shield really announce themselves this season. [/QUOTE]
