rating of Oz team - points out of 5

GCS - 4...fielded well and batted brilliantly in the 2nd dig...out to ordinairy shot inthe first dig
fuse - 8...yes 8 - 4 for the Martin wickets and 4 for the guppy catches
koala - 1 failed in both digs
punter - 1 gets a token point for his catching and that this is last test match
clarke - 1 batted fairly well in first dig until he had a brain snap...another failure in the 2nd
Snicket - 1 gets token point for being old and getting a wicket
Haddit - 1 point for polishing his boots and breaking his finger(plse) in his last test
Siddle - 3 tried hard with bat and ball and gave some leadership
Oz Patto - 3 bowled well in both digs...batted well in the first dig
Koo - 1 not his best effort but shows promise - provides long term value in ensuring bether Midge nor bollybogan are ever picked again
Elmo - 2 bowled well and tried hard in the last stand.

True, I had to google.

true ... and the presence of Korsakoff's psychosis

Korsakoffs - also known as Kero-sakoffs

Or in Victorian times as Rip-She Corsets-Off.

PJ Hughes - FIVE. Place assured for next two Ashes.
DA Warner - FOUR. Showed Test pedigree, must play for a few Ashes.
UT Khawaja - ONE. NTPFAA (especially v Poms)
RT Ponting - FIVE. Now that he has eliminated the LBW fault, he is undroppable for a couple of decades.
MJ Clarke* - FIVE. Led by example: a cool accumulating head in a crisis.
MEK Hussey - FIVE. On the plane for Pomgolia already with those marathon innings.
BJ Haddin† - FIVE. Has sweated blood for his country. Technique against the swinging, seaming, spinning, cutting, short, fuill-pitched overpitched or straight ball not perfect, but a safe and reassuring pair of hands behind the sticks.
PM Siddle - TWO. Very doubtful for any more matches v Poms.
JL Pattinson - ONE.
MA Starc - THREE. Promising.
NM Lyon - FOUR. Pretty nailed on for England, batting prowess too.

The smiles say it all - places assured for the foreseeable future.

Most unconvincing posing with trophy photo ever.

I liked Siddle's 1980s Punky Brewster throwback sneakers

I like the look on Hughes face.

he was grabbing his coat at the time

looks more like hes chewing on a turd

Looks more like someone who has to give the parents a really sh1tty report card and knows they're going to get flogged/grounded.

sage....he is probably also worried about whether he will be selected for the dubbers given all the other useless openers they have to fit into the spiv team

Nathan Lyon doesn't know where the camera is.

Not to mention Dave who might be in a world of his own.
