we might have subs coming on the field alot but Australia have also had subs on and before this match it was 2-1 in dismissals
first one was RT Ponting c Sub b Hoggard 42 at lords
then at old trafford KP Pietersen c Sub b Lee 21
then in Englands 2nd innings MP Vaughan c Sub b Lee 14
then the most recent one was RT Ponting run out sub 48
i can understand the way he felt by getting run out but if Martyn had not called for the run or if had of said no then maybe we would of avoided this but the way he reacted i cant believe that hasnt been mentioned as that was unsporting
also wether or not we are using it to our advantage Pratt was there for an injured S.Jones so he cant moan about that

Its against the spirit of the game.


Andrew Symonds. Arguably the best fielder in the world? Uh no. Kaif, Gibbs, Collingwood way before him. Dwayne Bravo and Dwayne Smith can field better than Symonds.

i am afraid you are simply wrong, never has symonds dropped a catch, and it is very rare that he misses any shy at the stumps. above that he is fast. on your list you have the man that dropped the world cup! seriously.

yes, but we only have our subs on when it is for a legitimate reason. England have them on for tired bowlers. did you fail to notice that?

Look at a long term measure- England have 18 wickets from subs in their last 52 Tests, Australia have 4 in their last 50. Shows something about how much time your bowlers spend off the field
