This, I would have thought, would have made Australia virtually certain to win the test? No?<BR/>Instead, they batted again, hoping they would score well, (which they did), having to choose when to declare, and then HOPING the 'Poms' didn't find a bit of form, and do a 'Boycott' and slowly grind out a draw by NOT being bowled out...?<BR/><BR/>Ok. Oz won anyway.<BR/>But have I missed something tactical here?<BR/>Should I just forget it and leave it to you and the 'Barmy Army'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33388979.post-1164367413423753992006-11-24T11:23:00.000+00:002006-11-24T11:23:00.000+00:00Did you mean thumped?

Wise move I think. I'm going to video the Wales game on Saturday, but I may decide to skip watching it on Sunday for similar reasons (i.e. if we get humped).electrichalibuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14365477143816746297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33388979.post-1164354133479650322006-11-24T07:42:00.000+00:002006-11-24T07:42:00.000+00:00Yeah. sorry about that spelling.
