I'll give this Australian side a bit of credit for what they managed to do. They aren't a great side, though in 2-3 years time they may be very good.
The most pleasing aspect for me was our ability to fight back when we were put under the pump. In the last five years the biggest knock on this team was their propensity to collapse in a heap with the bat, losing 4-7 wickets in quick succession.
Bar one session in Adelaide under lights (where Anderson bowled an all-time spell), they didn't have one collapse all series. People will look at the 100s, but also important were S.Marsh's 50-odd and Cummins' 40-odd in Brisbane, Paine's 50-odd in Adelaide, and M.Marsh's 30-odd in Melbourne. It meant the Poms never really got a sniff of victory.
And our bowling was consistently great - there wasn't one innings in the series where Lyon, Starc, Cummins or Hazlewood went wicketless.
South Africa promises to be a great series. One of the weirdest rivalries in world sport - we can't beat them here, and they can't beat us over there...
They played well but all this does is highlight yet another pummeling by the home side over the visitors.
Something we did to the West Indies recently, put this same Australian side in Asia or even England and i guarantee a vastly different result. (nothing against you guys, just showing theres a onesidedness at the moment regarding Home teams vs visitors) -

@mariner4life Christ - I thought those hands had been photoshopped in by someone.
I was wrong!
Cricket Australia managing to drag embarrassment from the jaws of victory!

In Aus, ODI 2 underway. Finch has just hit his 2nd hundred in two games, and is rebuilding the innings with the People's Champion Mitch Marsh. Fuck all for Warner and Smith for the 2nd game in succession.

Ouch, 2 in 6 balls. That's a hell of a jinx

And another, 8 balls later.
