It's ridiculously biased but i'm ashamed to say I can't disagree with a lot of it.

and the almost certain relinquishing of the ashes after what is turning into one of the most limp-wristed defences of the urn in modern history.

5-0?

2006-07 didn't happen remember.

5-0?


Oh Snap.

Its definitely limp wristed, how many guys in the current Aussie team are intimidators ?? We need some good old Aussie fire, ala Rodney Hogg et al !!

[amer]

Our team has played well, well below what it is capable of. The English papers will sit back and assume that this is the best the Australian team can offer, but deep down they know better. They won't lose tonight, and we can only hope they start to hit their straps in the fourth test.

Correction: The Sun has been toilet paper since it was taken over by an Australian. ;)

how any englishman can call our defense limp wristed is beyong me, a club cricket team would have put up more of a fight then they did last time

No. It always has been a piece of vile shit and always will be.

As a Liverpool fan - this pathetic, lying scumbag rag makes my blood boil.

Anyone who reads the S*n should be ashamed of themselves.

NO WORRIES FOLKS! just joined their comments page and given them a reminder of 2006 in Australia...............they constantly need reminding those Poms!:p

Its the Sun guys, I would ignore it.

[belfast_bomber]

Teehee.

CBF registering to reply, but how stupid does this clown look now?

[DeadlyAkkuret]

If we level this series (weather permitting!) this thread will reach 100 posts easily!

[Invigoration]

**** I hope we peg this back. Hopefully we bat first again but get some decent weather, we've been on the backfoot in all three so far; batting second and then batting first when it was bannana bending.

[InCase]

I don't know why the English thought they were certainties to win this test. It was pretty obvious it was going to be a draw, and by the way they were acting anyone would have thought they were 300 runs ahead in the first innings, not just 100 and obviously were going to have to bat again (they didn't have to cause they could only manage 3 wickets today, though).

5-0?

First thought that came into my mind, not only did they lose 5 nil it was the shortest peroid a side held the ashes, lost the unlosable test (adeliade) defeated by an innings in melbourne. Their ashes defence was dead set embarrasing.

How they could think they were certanties to win this test the draw as ods on. They had a lead of 25 FFS they would needed to roll us for 200 with atleast 40 overs in the day remaining. Even in the first innings with the ball going at right anlges we manged to scratch togethe 263.

Our TV commentators maybe be biased but at least the paper Journalists in this country can provide a balanced view.

[damochandler]
