Personal glory by Warner & Marsh caused the Australian team to not get enough runs on the board. Warner's crawl plus Marsh's slow 90's to 100's caused the runs to not flow as per previous to reaching their nervous nineties. Its not a team sport but a group of individuals seeking personal glory.The last three overs were not good enough.

Very harsh. Warner scored 122 from 113 balls and Marsh 102 from 84 balls. Normally 330 would be more than enough but Australia had a 3rd rate bowling attack and India were due for a win given their batting strength. Overall a pretty boring series given the imbalance between bat and ball.

What a load of drivel you must of missed the two sitters dropped by S.Marsh and Lyon catch those and they were into the tail and game over.

A bit of fine tuning maybe,but the World Cup is 3 years away,so nothing to really worry about right now.

Umpires often get booed ESPECIALLY when they make dud decisions ( i believe they did tonight), unlike here were the rabble boo the umps when the oppo player gets raped and he has the gall to pay a free kick. Watson, people also boo w*nkers, so whats the big deal??

here's hoping Watto wasn't getting booed because he is a caucasian Australian!

Unka I think the difference between the prima donnas in both side is that when we have prima donnas, we build them up and then proceed to cut them down.Called the tall poppy syndrome.Aussies are good at doing that.
The Indians have prima donnas and the put them on a pedestal and just keep adding to it until the PDs believe that they are Gods and can do no wrong. And generally the Indian PDs, behave accordingly.

See i believe the opposite a/man, we hero worship out sports people like gods. Hewitt for one. I never doubt his tenacity etc, but we fawn over his behavior and accept it the norm.
