hopeully the English can put up more of a fight in the last test in Sydney this week,
3 days for the boxing day test was a disgrace
291 for their first innings isnt to bad - though 6 wickets falling today doesn't give me much confidence in the Poms
looks like 5-0 :)
Thanks for that Brad
Cheers
Justin
might be another 3 day test again if Englands lower order cant help them avoid another disgracefull performance
5-0
