Greg Chappell is right in his article about the shortcomings of current day batsman, but his language was muy pompous.

I'll save you the effort: Daniel Cherny, Crash Craddock, Ben Horne and Tim Michell pick their XIs for Sydney, with only Tim opting for Cooper Connolly (presumably the bolter, who "should" play).

What was so "freak" about this runout? Went for a quick second run, just made his ground, the end. (Nor is Konstas a "wunderkind".)

Matt Page made an isolated mistake; he did not intentionally doctor the pitch like so many of the rest of the cricket world do for just about every home Test against Australia. Did Smith refuse to play because he didn't get the pitch he wanted? Did Page selectively water?

Speaking of shambles, how about the rumpus from the "cricket world" who have jumped on Australian cricket. Yes, the pitch was stuffed. No, there are no double standards.

Can't believe the number of Poms coming the cocky c*** after falling over the line in a dead rubber raffle at the arse end of a lost Ashes campaign against a shithouse Australian team.
Today is really rubbing it in that England blew a massive chance of regaining the Ashes with Australia having diabolical batting and their best three bowlers absent. Massive choke by the Poms.

We did well to win the first three Tests, but it feels like the loss of our three front line bowlers has finally caught up. Winning the first three Tests was imperative.

The Boxing Day batting was nothing to do with Test cricket, reveals Laura Bingle (correctly, for a change).

The reason both sides got out cheap is that Test technique rarely gets tested in similar condits. Homogenised surfaces have taken the grit out of batting. Serve up more minefieldy decks and you'll improve Test match batting.
