I'd agree with him either way. One side is playing better at the moment in their own conditions - can't deny that.

You can deny it. You might be wrong, but you can deny it.

Hahaha - nice try.

What about another "aussie" claiming one hand, one bounce.

You are allowed to clean mud off the ball, you are especially allowed to do it in front of the umpire. Especially not a big deal when the umpire inspects the ball and see nothing wrong.

Umpires have said there was nothing wrong.

Same old aussies, always whingeing.

He's been here long enough to pick up some of their traits. Bandwagon supporting is his main one.

Yes they "fixed" it so they would win the game by playing superior cricket. :D

Funny how every toss we lost, we win the test (assuming same tomorrow) - the only toss we win, drawn game.

Sadly for the game this series will forever be tainted by substandard pitches, incompetent ground staff and poor weather. Such a pity they couldn’t get it right, to give the result some credibility.

Are you serious? Apart from MCG pitch, and yes there was some weather about in few tests, but 4 results from 5 suggests situation pretty normal.
Even still, funny how MCG was canned for being "too consistent" over 5 days, yet Indian dustbowls that hardly change from day 1 to 5 never get a mention.

Only temporary, we'll get it back next year. Question is, will it stop the convicts whinging?
