Thoroughly disappointing though, was his reaction on getting out, most definitely pommie, and very unAustralian.<BR/>2)It is amazing how many times I have seen the rub of the green go the way of the dominant team over the years. The WIused to get all the marginal decisions in their favor when they ruled cricket. The aussies had quite a few strokes of good fortune as well. And now that it looks like the mantle might pass on to the Poms, they seem to be getting the some really dicey decisions in their favor.<BR/>3)Just funny and I consider myself quite lucky that I have been able to witness a change of guard in test cricket on two occassions; Sabina Park 1995, and a decade on, here, now, at Trent Bridge(possibly)Tuggahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049167986330357127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13107507.post-1125123832314358322005-08-27T09:23:00.000+03:002005-08-27T09:23:00.000+03:00Hey Truman,I did agree to that else why would I su...Hey Truman,<BR/>I did agree to that else why would I support Poms over Aussies!<BR/><BR/>They are turning the tide and that's why the game looks alive again. It's good for the game you see.<BR/><BR/>That's why I think even India did a good job against the Aussies.
