They became the australian nation and became known as the convicts. Surely you POHMs can work this out.
Nice try but the english were the convicts not the Australians. Its funny how you lot ignore those facts.
As an Australian i myself am not a convict so once again you are wrong.
Edit - looks like there are many other facts that back me up as well.
english = convicts. Simple facts are fun

The pitch had a distinct advantage to australia. They've had a few tests this "summer" already going against a team with practically no time in the middle. A doctored bowling wicket definitely hands them an advantage.
34 wickets in under 2 days isn't good for anyone.
However, for the record. Australia are the home team. They produce the wocket that they want. It's called home advantage.
My issue is just that when other countries do the same, they complain it's doctoring.
Now can you tell me when a visiting nation has EVER played some test matches in that country before playing the home side?

The point is that australia had had many opportunities for time in the middle, SA hadn't. A doctored bowling wicket helps the team who've had more time in the middle.

Re: Convicts v South Africa
So next ashes series here, you want some test matches to be played here before the ashes actually commence? Will that make it fairer? You tour, you get a practice match or two and that's it nowadays.

As for doctored wicket........said before.........had SA won the toss the result could have been different.
Bottom line they were comprehensively outplayed

No, SA would have been rolled easily because it was a bowling track and they'd had little/no time in the middle. One game against a joke PM XI is not a decent warm up. As you have said, you get a couple of practice matches nowadays. you used to get 4 or 5. Makes sense to produce a bowling track if you've had plenty of time in the middle and they haven't.
It's funny that you seem to think that all countries doctor wickets apart from your own.
