Hey, I'm not whinging. I've done VERY well out of backing England because unlike many other Australians, I genuinely thought they could win this series. But this test match was a very close result and England definitely got by far the better of the umpiring, so who knows what could have happened.

Purely on facts and figures, England have been clearly the better team. But when you think about it, if McGrath had played all 4 tests and if we had batted first in the 2nd test, chances are, we'd probably be leading 3 nil now. We were almost totally outplayed in the 2nd and 4th tests and yet we still came close to winning both of them and both with no McGrath.
