Namely....

What match were they watching...thought Australia were dominant enough for what was a very cosy victory. Restricted England nicely in the first innings, outlasted their bowlers in their reply and they blitzed them to secure the win. Dominant enough for me.

Australia have never lost a day-nighter...not sure how you can call this the great equaliser fit the English bowlers who basically ran out of ideas when they should killed off the Aussie tail.

How the hell are 52% of the votes for an England win in the 2nd Test.

They were level for the first three days. Indeed, they were in charge right up until Vince decided to take a run straight to cover/Malan decided hooking was a good idea.

The day/nighter is a non-starter for England. Our bowlers need help from the wicket/ball and the pink ball does absolutely nothing.
