Personally Id like them to show a little more sportsmanship.  Once someone is out there is no reason to be a tool to that person any more.

But that's my opinion and I know not everyone shares it.

What I think they should do is look at that wicket.  A test wicket shouldn't be designed so that batsmen can bat out the 5 days easily (comparatively, not saying the task is easy in general).  The game should be decided in up to 5 days with the occasional draw.  

Yeah, the pitch was a shocker and the Gabba wasn't much better. But I guess that we could take it as a sign of respect for our bowling attack that the Aussies have been afraid of offering anything for the quicks?
