England wouldn’t be saying this if the shoe were on the other foot. Seems like a bit of a theme this series

As an Englishman I've no issue with the holders retaining the Urn if the series is drawn - after all the other team didn't win the trophy back did they.

It's a bit early to suggest a drawn series with Australia 2-1 up so far?

Rules are the same for both sides. It's no-one's fault the weather sucks in England.
