Some rumour is going around that the 'best' test nation managed the lowest score ever in all tests against India but that can't be true surely. ;)

Exactly my thoughts, with a score of 79 from South Africa I immediately thought Gary Player was having an off day at golf :eek:

Maybe the lucky run has come to an end.

Which team to hold the No: 1 spot next, I wonder. :unsure:

We did - we got poes-klapped. No way we're getting 310 on that turner

At least we've never lost a follow-on test against them! :rofl:

Make that 2 - a great record!

Slight problem with that in that Siddle was ruled out through injury. Rolls out perhaps?:rofl:

I can see the type of weave in the stitching in the pink number. Very clear.

Was I. Funny that. Harris was out regardless.

I was just calling for Johnson out in England and someone who could bowl on the spot on English wickets. That would be Siddle. See Oval test.

The point is, we end up with the right English bowling attack in Australia where Johnson thrives.

But you don't know enough about cricket to get the irony.
