Seamer there is no doubting a few things
1. The recent Australian Test Team has been possibly one of the world's greatest eevr teams. Up there with the invincibles and the West Indies of the last 70's and 80's. The will still be no 1 at the end of this series and deserev tto be playing the World Team.
2. There were some descions which we got which were unlucky.
But every era coomes to an end. Now I am not saying this is the end. But I read a great article by Greg Chappel in the Telegraph yesterday where he talked of ponting recieving the poisoned chalice from Steve Waugh. In his he said that it was only a matter of time before certain players retired leaving Ricky with a team that would no longer win so easily.
In tertms of luck - let's go through it - every team has luck, good and bad during a test. Generally it even's itself out. On this occasion it didn't, however, for me when the luck is going against you it is how you respond to it.
Let's be honest here you have won games in the past where you have had the rub of thee green. It happens it is all part of the game.
