Villan,tell us which decisions they were, apart from Ponting in the first innings.
On this occasion England were the better side,and would have won without the Ponting decision.
Flintoff took six wickets,and scored a paltry 34 runs.
anderson took four wickets and scored 29 runs.
Swann took four wickets.
Strauss scored 195 runs
Cook scored 127 runs
Onions took 3 wickets, Broad took 3 wickets.
it was a team effort.Collingwood tok amagnificent catch and scored 70 runs.
Flintoff bowled well in the second innings ,his batting was crap,and he took 1 for 27 in the first innings,he chose the right time to retire.
Flintoff did well in the second innings,but he has not been consistent enough for some time,probably because of his injuries.
so have Australia never had a dubious umpiring decision go in their favour?
England fully deserved the victory,so cut this crap about umpiring,that happens to all sides periodically,and give the better TEAM[not just Flintoff] the credit they deserve.
