The Australian Cricket team are getting so much bad luck with England they've lost there top spinner Shane Warne, there Fast bowler Glen Mcrath and now Gillespie there other fast bowler fell down on the rock solid pitch and hurt his left arm.
Whats going to happen next??.
Oh and do you guys think that Macgill is a good choice for Shane Warnes place??

Australia might be unlucky with bowling injuries but their problems are nothing compared to England’s.
England have had Gough and Flintoff out the whole series, Jones was injured the first day of the first test and out for the other 4 tests. Hoggard has only just come back from injury. Giles was injured for the 4th and 5th test. Cadd!ck has had injury problems affecting his play and preventing him from playing one of the tests.
Then when you consider injuries to batsmen Australia have had far less than England.
I think the England team would of welcomed your 'bad luck' and if we had had such bad luck we may not of been so embarrassingly poor for four of the five tests.
The Australian display in the 5th test may of been affected by bowling injuries but your batsmen seem to be rather poor without any of your main attack being injuried
It is a shame that the only time in the series that England are on top you have to resort to complaining about unlucky aussies especially when the World's No. 1 team has so much depth to its squad.

Hey the Balmy Army costed England missing out on a wicket, Harmission goes to bowl to Steve Waugh he bowls it and Steve tips it and it goes straight to the wicket kepper but with all the noise from ythe balmy army the players were to confused to appeal or not but then when they saw the replay it was so obvious that there was an edge but the ump still said no.
Then after that the Balmy Army were booing the ump bot noticing that it was there fault that the ump didnt hear the edge lol
