Love the way the Sky team make out Bopara is the 2nd coming of Bradman when he makes a few runs. yes he has played well and is in form but geez he aint that good.

Don't think they have personally, just gave him his dues for a decent series.

Anyway shame we couldn't have had all 5 of them, we've played well all series apart from the catching obviously, which sometimes happens for some reason and becomes a bit contagious.

It's a match clinching innings keeping up his strong strike-rate recently, plus the most economical bowler, for once they're right to praise him. Player of the series?

Man of the series yes but the way they drool over him if/when he gets a few is desperate. He is the media favourite for some reason yet isn't as good as the other 6 who will be batting in the first test top 7 next week and probably behind Taylor too.

4-0. Aussies lucky to get nil. If they get -1 would it make England the number 1 side? There surely has to be some sort of mechanism in place for penalising teams that make Ravi Bopara look like Sobers. Although to be fair he has a decent record at cashing in against minnows.

Oh, I'd give it to Finn, but he's a bowler...
Yes I'd give it to Finn, relatively went for few runs today but stilled bowled very well 8 wickets @ 19 with next to nothing run rate.

Whats' with Sky's new line of 'out of season', never heard them bang on about it before.

Interesting that Watson was commentating on whether the balance of our side was right before the series and our number 7 ended up not getting a bat all series. Kiesswetter only face a ball in one game as well.

Good series win. Not challenged at any point. As for the Aussies they look a long way away from being a decent side. Pattinson was very disappointing after the hype he got.

Thought it was pretty unfair of England to invite us over for a series then bat and bowl a **** load better than we did.

Pretty rude, frankly.

I know were you're coming from, used to happen to us all the time at your place, just bad manners.
