Considering he must have been a bit knackered from all the carry on and very fast bowling in earlier matches, he held it together admirably.</p>

If you mean scary ravenous beast that devours good batting line-ups on flat tracks, then no, we probably didn't see him in Perth. If you mean a guy bowling a line and length doing justice to a Test bowler that takes handy wickets, then we did. What we saw at the WACA was a far cry from Bad Mitch in anyone's language. </p>Tony Tea commented on 'HOME, JAMES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef01a3faa920c0970b2013-12-18T08:45:52Z2013-12-18T08:45:52ZTony TeaReverse is the reverse of positive outcome.<p>Reverse is the reverse of positive outcome.</p>nick commented on 'HOME, JAMES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef019b03347317970c2013-12-18T08:17:02Z2013-12-18T08:17:02Znickgilysgone 'I would be happiest if they just beat them' Fixed.<p>gilysgone 'I would be happiest if they just beat them'<br />

We won an otherwise even contest in Perth because of the youngun's ton. There is every chance he will lose us the series against the Varks.</p>gillysgone commented on 'HOME, JAMES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef019b033008ef970c2013-12-18T01:26:07Z2013-12-18T01:26:07ZgillysgoneI would be happiest if they dropped all the aggro bullshit and just beat them with strong batting bowling and...<p>I would be happiest if they dropped all the aggro bullshit and just beat them with strong batting bowling and fielding skills. That would give their whinging media nothing to use as an excuse.</p>Tony Tea commented on 'HOME, JAMES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef019b032f149c970d2013-12-17T22:31:54Z2013-12-17T22:31:54ZTony Teahttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/cricket/Thommo is a legend for winning the 1974/75 Ashes.

But Thommo also played in the 1975 Ashes, 1977 Ashes, 1979/80 Non-Ashes, 1982/83 Ashes (where he is more famous for his last wicket stand with AB) and the 1985 Ashes.</p>

The team owes it to themselves for the 7-0 Indian and English reverses earlier in the year. </p>
<p>Here's a question though: have we properly forgiven Good Mitch for Bad Mitch yet? And do we think Good Mitch is here to stay? </p>Tony Tea commented on 'HOME, JAMES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef019b0324acd8970d2013-12-17T09:09:46Z2013-12-17T09:09:46ZTony TeaFor this series it is: Australia: 45 for 2152 England: 60 for 1403 Mercy rule?<p>For this series it is:</p>
