Have you noticed how Lee has slowed down? He's capable of bowling hugely faster than he has been. It looks as though he's seen the way the England bowlers have won the battle against the bat with swing - (and it swings better at slower pace) - and he's now trying to counter by doing the same thing, only he can't do it as well because it's not his natural style. Lose his pace and you lose his bite. Once you start to emulate the opposition you've lost the battle.
Why are the Oz bats so bad against swing this year? England always had seamers before (although not as many good ones admittedly).
Bad umpiring decisions?
C'mon - how many times have we seen Aussie teams benefit from duff decisions from umpires/refs in the past - Steve Bucknor has been good and consistent in the main, and the decisions have gone both ways. You take your breaks. I ain't heard any whinging as strong as Aussie whinging when their teams lose. 
Just that you don't hear it too often cos they don't lose that often.Ever heard George Gregan moan his arse off when the Wallabies lose? Man, that guy is the sorest loudmouth loser I ever heard. I'm amazed he's not been sent off more often. Even Ponting is starting to show his whinging side now - shame really, as he always came across as a decent bloke.
