England have been outplayed from start to finish but have also blown the opportunities that have come there way. Peterson dropped early and made 180, ABDV and Amla dropped in this Test. Not good enough.
Hope there is a way back for KP but I very much doubt it.

Following the test on BBC text commentary, but it seems that Taylor has just gone for an all run 4, when we're already 3 wickets down and looking at saving, rather than winning, the match, and been run out. What on earth is he thinking of???

Another one for good measure?
If Swann had stayed in we might have had a chance, but as soon as he went that was game over IMO.
For me it's time we were seriously looking at replacing Strauss, 107 runs in the series, he might have achieved some great things for England as a batsman but he doesn't get enough runs for me.

Just goes to show how difficult it is to stay at the no.1 position once you get there, without thinking you're fecking king kong!! England have been nothing short of rubbish since they got there last summer.
Australia should be congratulated for staying there as long as thye did.......
