Super Eight

[pup11]

Brilliant shot from Punter, trademark pull shot for 6 by him there.

Ponting looking like a million bucks again. When was the last time he batted and didn't look like making a century? Freakish form the last 18 months.

Got a feeling he'll make a big one today, anyway. Missed out against South Africa, after all.

 

[Dark Hunter]

Aussies starting to unleash a bit, Windies need to pull them back.

Finally, Hayden arrives.

 

[pup11]

When Punter plays that shot early in his innings all i can say is opposition beware.


EDIT: HAYDOS PICKING UP SOME PACE TWO 4'S IN A ROW.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The likelihood of Hayden playing a premeditated lofted shot growing by the moment. One would hope the West Indies fielders are up for the chance if it comes.

EDIT: That teaches me to start a post and finish it 5 minutes later...

 

[GIMH]

Hayden not quite at the same SR as Saturday it would seem

 

[pup11]

Its been 11 years since Ponting has scored a century against West Indies so today seems to be the day to change that.

 

[pup11]

This probably the best odi cricket i have seen Matty Hayden play after 01 Indian tour.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

CricInfo going insane. First reporting 3 consecutive boundaries to Hayden (reflecting it in Taylor's bowling figures) then reporting that only Ponting was at the crease (implying Hayden was out), then adjusting to reality.

He has a poor record in general against the West Indies, so it's more than just the prospect of a century.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Haha, crap running. Lucky the throw wasn't much good either.

 

[pasag]

Ponting taking Collymore to the cleaners.

1/56 after 10 overs. Not bad at all.

 

[Dark Hunter]

Haha, crap running. Lucky the throw wasn't much good either.

Wouldn't know it from the way Mark Nicholas was going. Ignore the running, got to focus on Ponting's Athleticism.

 

[The_Bunny]

WI in trouble if they dont take another wicket soon

Cricbuzz had Hayden on four consecutive fours at last check, seems neither one can get it right.

 

[pup11]

Two 4's in a row from Ponting. Aussie innings gaining momentum big time.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Time for Dwayne Smith to get in on this action.

I thought he creamed his pants after Pointing hit that pulled 6.

 

[pup11]

Hey guys i missed the crap running part, what happened could anyone elaborate it?
