I'm pretty sure the last person to whinge in this thread was a pom.....now go away and only return when the Empire needs defending...

Who was whingeing?
Well Bomber was moaning about the Indians again :shock: , didn't think he was a pom though
^ Typical pom - anything at all is "whingeing" if coming from an Aussie, but when they bang on and on and on and on and continually complain about something, they try and call it something else. It's head shaking stuff its so ludicrous and one-eyed

PS - 4-0 and lucky they don't go on aggregate over home and away series as we'd still win. :P

Not many teams score 400 and somehow lose by an innings.

Typical pole...can be found in any English toilet doing the cleaning. But I'll have to say, they don't whinge. Probably because it's a step up for them.

I presume he means Cook. Thing about stats, one over blown score on a dead pitch shouldn’t get the ex captain in the side. Take that away and what did he do.

Anderson for Hazelwood maybe? Jimmy done wonders considering what he had to work with

In regards to Cook other than Warner all other openers struggled to score, so one innings enough.

As for Anderson he was 4 wickets behind Hazelwood but his strike rate was 50% worse than Hazelwood.

Great Aussie I would say.
Working with football team when I used to work as a live chat agent in Australia was experience I can never forget. No wonder Australia do good in sports.
