Pleased they've won a Test but also irked that already Stokes & co see it as some sort of vindication & counter to the criticism they've been getting.
Bowlers finally turned up - something they've rarely done under Bazball. Actually annoying because it shows how fragile this Aussie batting line-up can be - only Head, Carey & Starc have looked decent over first 3 games. Better bowling/catching at that Head/Carey partnership in Adelaide and it'd be 2-2.
But let's be clear it was a "lottery"game entirely down to a poorly prepared wicket (they'd be deducted points in the county championship for that pitch).
Let's see what they do on a different pitch in Sydney.
Cynic in me says the bookies will be happiest - not having to payout on a 5-0.

Was quite interesting when Fisher brought out the drinks and one of the comms probably Swann said he would have been unplayable on this track.

you mean a quick who can control line & length and has bowled pretty well with a Kookaburra over the summer.
