Finally, some spine shown by England, albeit against effectively a second string Australian team, with several key players "rested". Nevertheless, England showed what it is capable of, and at least there won't be a whitewash in the ODI series.
I'm not sure why you would be impressed by Chris Jordan, Dave, I thought he looked out of his depth, and he was the most expensive of the England attack. Ben Stokes, on the other hand, did look impressive, with 4 wickets, conceding just over 4 runs per over. He is, however, a Kiwi, and in keeping with England's policy of importing foreign players he seems assured of a spot in the team for some time to come.
You're right about Stuart Broad though, he wouldn't walk if all 3 stumps were out of the ground, plus his father is an ICC official to protect him from criticism
It will be interesting to see if England can maintain the momentum in Hobart. As Monty Panesar said on TV last night, 3-2 looks a lot better than 5-0, but Australia has still won the series, and the Ashes
Peter.
