Reflecting on the Test gone by ...

The pic that summarizes the final result of the second Test:



BTW, here is an excerpt from Justin Langer's latest column:

Michael Vaughan’s success as a captain has centred on aggressive fast bowling complemented by him setting quite defensive fields. The trick is to remain patient and wear down the fast bowlers.

Looks like he did not share this enlightenment with any of the other Aussie batsmen (maybe he did let in the bowlers Warne, Lee and Kasprowicz though on his little secret!).

Another excerpt from Martin Johnson's column in The Telegraph:

... yesterday morning's remarkable events made you suspect that the Australians, tired of knocking over the Poms without breaking sweat, were amusing themselves by imposing some kind of handicap system. You could almost imagine the dressing-room conversations. "Two hundred and thirty isn't much of a target, let's give 'em another fifty for the last wicket." "Six down overnight? Nah, that'll make Sunday far too easy. Let's make it eight." "We're getting a bit close now, Warney. Why not do something daft, like treading on your own stumps, then leave it to Brett and Kaspar? That'll really p*** 'em off."

ROFL!!!
