Defensive tactics from England tending to frustrate OZ

A bright morning,the cranes flying from South to North over the sky forming bows and arrows,perhaps,searching for water announced the arrival of a good day.But it may not be so good for the Australians at the Oval in England.The Team Australia has every reason for becoming anxious about the final day of current concluding Test match which is likely to decide their fate in this series. England,Indeed the style adopted to play on the 3rd day of the current Ashes Test at the Ovalwith slow defensive batting after loosing their top order is by all means a natural Tactics to force a tame draw which place the Britts at added advantage of a a Tame draw as they enjoy a fair2-1 up in this Series.But this resulted ,obviously,in frustation for the visitors.This kind of situation is common in Cricket.But being a prestigious Ashes Series that too at the Oval ,the deliberate scoring pattern of run rate of 2.12 runs per over on third day raise eyebrows into the fairness of tactics employed by a great Cricket Playing Nation. Of course,this opinion is strengthened with the total Wash out on the Fourth Day of the series .this amounts toa total loss of 90 Overs for the Visitors.Even if it is decided to start earlier on the Final day,the impact of the irreparable loss of overs suffered by Australia would not stand to get compensated.What is lost is lost.What is lost can not be gained in just one day by any Cricketing Nation. So it can be generalized that what has happened on 3rd day can not be unhappened under any circumstances.All the Sweetest Perfumes of Arabia would not be sufficient to wash away the sins in the Hands of the performers on the third day ,who it would appear to have employed Slow tactics without attracting any of the provisions of the Cricket Rules prevailing. This is a personal Free,FrankFearless opinion.This kind of thought might have inducted into the minds of many a Australians also who like England take Ashes as a Prestigious series of close rivalry from the Day the series began a long time ago. All the efforts of Australians on the final day even if weather permits playing is likely to end in disappointment,frustration and Agony to a great Team that literally ruled the game of Glorious Uncertainty for more than a decade.
