So you're judging them on one game?

I shouldn't be surprised. Any chance to stick the boot in you'll take it.

No. You are so far from wrong that its not funny.

I do give this side credit but as I have said consistently, the thing that fudges me off is that they talk about what they are going to do and need to do and don't do it. How about they just shut the fudge up and play the game. Its when they talk about being in with a real shot and get completely fudgeed that pisses me off. Just don't talk. I can deal with getting ass raped by Australia but not when we talk about how we are gonna do this and do that and not deliver. 

Its like a boxer going into a fight telling the other guy he is gonna rip his head off and then getting caned in round 1. Actions speak louder and words and they have been doing so well recently. Just don't it by talking about what they are going to do.

Yeah, well there's still two tests left in the series tbf. Assuming we go on to lose here we still have a chance to turn it around, just like we have done in England and the UAE over the past 12 months. 

I'm glad they have that belief anyway. Regardless whether you think they talk too much bollocks it's obviously had a positive effect, given we are now seeing far better Test results, particularly away from home. In the past the team would be heading straight for a 3-0 series defeat from here. Nowadays you wouldn't put it past them coming from one down to win 2-1.
