Watch 'em get yanked off for bad light.
what a bag of shit, coming off for bad light
They're going off. Ah well shame its ended in this way
One day they'll have common sense with the light but I don't care, Australia know their place now.
What a ridiculous rule, that's an absolute disgrace.
Going offAbsolute farce, heads should roll.
FFS they have floodlights and they come of for bad light, what is the point of fecking floodlights.
Clarke what an aggressive captain, , took it a bit literally with Dar there.
, took it a bit literally with Dar there.This rule is rubbish, it should be up to the batsmen if they want to stay on then they should be allowed to.
feck the letter of the law, what about the full house crowd, there is only 4 overs left.
Stupid should be batting side's call.
Not sure why the Aussies are moaning and wasting time, thought they wanted a game the miserable whining cnuts.
The worst thing is is that decisions like that (be it the umpire or the ICC) turn people off of Test Cricket.
Absolute joke, feel sorry for the fans there today.
Why was it ever taken anyway from the batting side? Clearly not dangerous.

I guess the Aussies weren't so prepared to lose to win or whatever bollocks Warne was coming out with.A farce of an ending to the series but take the 3-0.
Moral victory for England 4-0.
Great stuff. Well deserved that England don't win this. Can't think of a worse bunch of defensive plodders this could happen to.
Well done, Michael Clarke.
Well done, Michael Clarke.
4 overs left. Pathetic.
Oh well, at least they can't harp on about the test at Old Trafford now. 3-0 is good enough and the Ashes are ours. 
That's so utterly retarded.
Well done ICC. I wonder why test cricket is dying around the world.
Shame for Woakes, I thought he was going to win it for us. If he had done, he would probably have been batting at 6 for the first test in November.
Dick. Defensive plodders who just chased down 206 off 40 overs? Get a clue.
This Michael Clarke love-in is hilarious. 'Oh look at him, he'd rather lose than draw.'
Good series. Fitting it ends with more umpire/ICC/non-player related controversy.
Aussies need to sort out their batting for the return series. England need to decide on who their 3rd seamer will be.

zing is half right that England didn't deserve to win, but frankly they are the only team that looked ever likely to win.

He declared because he naively thought they had a chance to win.
I like Clarke as a captain but those lauding his aggression amuse me, to my mind he makes decisions you expect.
England going for the win was low risk cricket. All they had to do was retreat into a shell if pietersen fell. Australia declaring was high risk. This is a team that plays for a draw in the first innings after being 3 0 up on a flat road. Negative plodders.
I'm sure Darren Lehmann is leading the anti-Clarke chants in the dressing room.
Shame, that. I think it was the right call though.
They make decisions like that all the time in county cricket to force a result.
He's bloody lucky he didn't lose.
By the letter of the law yes. But on any other basis, no. The law is an ass and it only serves to put people off bothering go to see it.
