Or an invitation to move to England!
They have run out of South Africans so need to broaden their recruiting scope now!

Terrible. Can't believe we're not even making a game of it considering we weren't too bad only 3-4 months ago.

I really think even last series wasn't as one sided as the results showed. But yeah, England have been belted so far.

They are batting well this afternoon though.

The last series was nowhere near as one sided as this one!

It is not impossible for England to win this - they would be looking much better if Bell was still in but there is a chance. If Stokes gets to 170 and Prior makes 70ish (he is due) then there will be some really nervous Aussies out there and then anything could happen.
Of course it is unlikely but matches have been won from worse positions.

Wow, four weeks ago who would have thought Australia would be 3 from 3 after Perth? You get the feeling England played pretty poorly more than Australia stepping up their game significantly but still well done to the Aussies.

Australia only lost 17 wickets in Brisbane, 12 in Adelaide and 16 in Perth to win by a combined 749 runs.
That is domination!

We've done enough to win this series but the real test will be South Africa. I think they might just bring us back down, hard.

Probably but as that series is in SA will anyone care?
Only get to keep the Urn for a relatively short period to - next series is in England in 2015. I really hope they dont keep this up and rob it of its specialness.

Funnily enough, based on our performance in England where things didnt go our way I was pretty confident we'd be competitive...3-0 I did not think.

Big thing for me in this is the confidence that the team has...I think Buff and Macca are the main reasons for that and its great to see macca back as bowling coach (I think he left when Arthur's came).

Well done boys..keep it going.

Well deserved win. Australia have been far far better. Just got to avoid 5-0 now!

It was really good to watch our bowling attack after the English series, accurate and consistent with a sting in the tail.

Looking forward to chilling on the couch with a beer on boxing day!

Two best spinning wickets are coming but his average has always been poor touring here.
