Totally agree, i think the Aussies `sporting` behaviour was an absolute disgrace with maybe the exception of Hussey and Haddin possibly Clarke when he was captain.
The rest can just
They set a plan to try and nullify Swann http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0aV54u9qj0 and it totally backfired on them when their bowlers just weren`t consistent enough. Englands on the other hand where magnificent continually putting the ball in danger areas where the batsman has to play and eventually getting a wicket. Some of the Aussies shot selection was very poor though.
Massive thanks to Strauss and his boys for making this series a thoroughly memorable one
