Traveled back to California for a family emergency and just checked - what the **** has been happening in this game?

Dar you really have had one of the all-time crap series, don't make it even worse.

I'm glad Burgey is awake though, to see Bell take us to a well-deserved victory.
You can toddle off and have what passes as a steak there now.

Haha. Stay classy Aussies 11 overs in an hour when you have moaned about England.

Don't care myself as we have walloped you 3-0 but after all the moaning earlier you resort to that.

The phrase "absolute bull****" springs to mind.
Wake up to yourself mate. The light is way worse than it was when they went off earlier in the match. Yeah it's frustrating but they were never going to stay on once Clarke saw that meter reading. If they had he would have been well within his rights to go utterly ballistic.

If they go off it just shows the folly of the rule in general. Why does a team get the benefit of leniency over light in this situation, but neither team gets that leniency two days earlier when they're chasing the game?
Agreed.

So how do we change this rule? Give the batsmen the choice again?

Yeah, I actually think it's funny, it was always ironic the Aussies being sanctimonious anyway. Well done lads, crushing victory over a bunch of cheating losers. :)
