Poms are currently getting owned by Western Australia

Not great preparation to face a team with 7 losses in a row

er, the point of tour matches is to get teams acclimatized to conditions, climate, ground etc especially when they've just hopped off a plane having travelled 12000 miles,

Ponting and Clarke have to go. Time for the next leader to step up and I don't mean mr Cricket. Time for him to go too.

er, derr, er..

your lot managed 223 against a woeful attack.

Don't get me wrong, Australia are ordinary, but England are just as hopeless.

I wouldn't look into that tour match as gospel.

England have a better batting lineup, better middle order, better wicket-keeper, better spinner and better fast bowlers than Australia.

You boys wrote England off way too early. It was a tour match to get the cobwebs out. Looked like they handled it well to me, winning in 3 days. Not many Tour teams do that.
