Nothing stolen by the Aussies.  We have outplayed them, as our lot a hungrier for the Urn..    8)

It should be a 5 zip result too.

Watson saves his best for when the opposition has thrown the towel in.

In 4 of his last 5 Tests he's made 68, 176, 51 and 103. Today though hopefully broke the nervous shackles so he can feel comfortable about his position and play naturally.

It's a question of whether he has the cricket smarts. Too often he gets out playing in a manner befitting the short form of the game. Even Warner has figured this one out.
IN WADA WE TRUST

The way Watson went out today was an absolute laugh.

Good technique has Watson but he tends to play well in dead innings...today was more like 20/20 cricket and England without Broad were a bit more light on...like to see him make some runs vs the strongest attack in test cricket which is South Africa.
Handy bowler though and gives us that extra bowler we need at times and can take wickets as well as keep the runs down..

KP....is there a dumber batsman playing test cricket.....hits a six then tries again to the same spot with a man camped on the boundary in Harris...overhyped is KP and if I was an english selector I'd kick him and his ego out of the team until he applied himself better.
Liked Bailey vs Anderson too...the latter is a smartarse who has mouthed his way through the last few ashes series but had little to say today....

They have found a player though in the kiwi Stokes...got the goods has this kid, tall, hits the ball hard and his bowling is sharp. Also has some attitude and grit, great experience playing in Aus and who ever he plays next test series might be on the receiving end with ball and bat.

Best first ball of an innings I've ever seen bowled that one from Rhyno Harris yesterday......just as Clarke copped all the good balls in England early on when things weren't running the Aussies way, Cook is getting belters left right & center this time round.
Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.

Spot on, when the heat's on, Shane's in the shower.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

The Poms today actually looked like they were in a position to win this test. Then it all just fell to pieces for them as usual. Clarke looked nervous for the first half of todays play. More playing with his clothing than Rafa Nadal at Wimbledon. It will be interesting to see peoples thoughts on Mitchell and his slide for the ball near the boundary. Taking out 10 pounds of earth in the process. How can the outfield be this soft and wet. Dangerous if you ask me. Mitchell could have taken out his knee in an instant. The curators should think twice about watering the outer field area this much. it will cost a player sliding in desperation to save a boundary one day.

Anyhow, well done Aussies, 3-0.  ;)

Imagine if Watson had only made 10

Good point. Imagine if he was out for bugger all like a couple of runs. The story would have been different, but then again we wouldn't have declared before Clarke had a lead he was happy with. I think we only had 6 wickets down in the second innings. Another would have had to keep batting to get our score up where it was.

Johnson and Bailey would have made 100 each.

Simon Jones would attest to that - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt1OQXfnPE0

Also, 3-3 for 2013. ;)
