The problem is you're arguing on one questionable decision, compared to many poor decisions, I'm not taking anything away from the english side? They are comparably a better team than Australia, but to acknowledge that in someway there is retribution in the Agar decision compared to the many poor decisions is ignorant, you're arguing on a ration of 7:2 at best,

Thanks for that.

The reality is, Australia had basically no chance to win the series because they simply are not good enough.

That much is clear.

They are however capable of creating an upset and winning a test somewhere along the way.

However, the cricketing Gods are conspiring in such a way as to make it impossible.

Correct. As a cricket fan I was screaming at the tele then to say it wasn't out. I think everyone saw it wasn't out. The umpiring is ruining this series as a spectacle!

That point about agar however,  stands. That's been the decision that's had perhaps the biggest impact in terms or runs scored after the non dismissal.

Trott...

in Quantitive terms there are many ways a decision can impact a team, not just in terms of amount of runs scored, but partnerships secured, amount of time batted and being phsycologically demoralising to a team in general, I understand this support is based enteirely on the baised support to England, not suprised at all hahah, but then you couldn't credit all of Englands achievments in this series down to playing well, the media's response has been enough and if im not suprised will be tarnish The series enough to warrant DRS as Englands proverbial Gary Pratt

Our 'Unlucky' period lasted for 20 years. A couple of series is nothing...

I think Trott completely missed it tbh, I've watched reviews if both, even Lloyd thought as much with snicko, In which case Jonathan Trott is known for his honesty? Because he looks at his bat like he's nicked it, it means he has?

Bait taken "gulp"

But your unlucky period was due to all the average players you guys insisted on playing

here we go again...

[smokem]

Well if the last one is umpire's call, then this should be as well...

[Sam to the C]

there is a god

[Number4]

There was certainly a noise but it seemed to be well after the ball had passed the bat

[petehosk]

Even with the nick (edge) there was no evidence to overturn that decision.
If that had of been overturned then that would have been injustice based on previous decision earlier!!
