With all of Day 3 washed out, this game is heading towards a fizzled draw. Still, that’s what everyone thought of Cardiff so I’m not discounting an Australian 2nd innings implosion. There’s little to blog on with no action yesterday but I did catch a replay of Rudi Koertzen giving an absolute plumb LBW shout of Mitchell Johnson not out. I’ve always disliked Rudi Koertzen. The slow dramatic raising of the finger is even more annoying than the buffoonish posturing of Billy Bowden. But when I’m forced to endure two of his slow dismissals to LBW shouts where the ball was clearly missing the stumps - then refuse an LBW shout where the ball pitched in line, ...   See the complete post here

Why Australia Lost The 2009 Ashes

- August 24, 2009

Years ago, when the Aussies were beating anyone and everyone who played them in test matches, England were a sorry lot. They picked players in the hope that they would perform. A player would be selected for a match only to be dropped the next one, without any reason.
