I was actually convinced at stumps on day 4 that Aus were going to win, but Eng managed to pull through in the end. Also glad this series is done, having an emotional connection to one of the teams playing in a Test series is fun, but gets quite stressful.

However, I’m with Ponting that the ball change was poor and should be investigated. Shame one bad decision made such an impact on the game.

2-2 was a fitting end to a great series, although both sides will regret the squandered opportunities they've had to take control.

I wish this was a double header like 2013/2013-2014 since we could see if England's approach with the current side would work in Australian conditions, but not to be.
