Y'know, Ponting has this strange aversion to risk. You hear a bunch of talk about all of the guns Australia has but what's the point if you don't use them? Same with Ashes 2005; when they first picked Tait, it was said that he was the impact player and would be used to intimidate the opposition. In the final Test, Ponting barely brought him on to bowl at all and when he did, he got a wicket. Why boast if you don't have the guts to take a risk?

Against a Test quality attack you'd expect most opener's to play and miss a few times especially early on when they make big scores.

I still think he's still a bit too prone to play a loose shot when there's no need for it.

You know, talk about luck with Sehwag all you like, but Dravid played and missed plenty of the time, was dropped (and was caught off no balls twice) in the first two tests.

Hayden was incredibly lucky early on Boxing Day.

Its the nature of cricket.

Unlike Dravid and Hayden, riding the luck is almost the part of Sehwag's technique.

Hit his arm, bugger off.

Rauf and right decision don't go together often, but good stuff.

Haha, don't rate Rauf eh?

Haha, don't rate Rauf eh?

Comfortably the worst (and stupidest) umpire I've ever seen. Not just his decisions, but the way he acts on field. He once took out the light meter to check the rating when Smith was ready to face a ball from the bowler who was running in.

Like what the hell?

 

[duffer]

That's an even better decision by Rauf.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah, not a Rauf fan myself either. Good decision on the lbw too.

I will predict that Australia, after the last test, won't get many 50-50s in this game.

Clark is head and shouilders above the ther bowlers here - how Johnson gets new rock ahead of him I will never know.

 

[NUFAN]

That's an even better decision by Rauf.

Always easier to give a player not out..He might not have seen it.

 

[Johnners]

Johnners!!!!!!! Love him

 

[pup11]

Johnson gets rid of Sehwag finally, what a relief!

 

[Prince EWS]

YESSSS!!!

I had stacks on Sehwag to score < 34. Really relieved about that.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

**** off Ponting, you're a God damn idiot. Would put a tenner on Symonds bowling before Tait.

 

[Johnners]

IMO you couldn't care less about the bet, just that a player with a horrid technique is out

 

[Top_Cat]

Inevitable.

Johnson bowling well this inning too. Good stuff.

 

[pup11]

Stuey Clark is really unlucky not to get a wicket yet, he has simply bowled beautifully!

 

[Prince EWS]

That's why I put the bet on. Had faith in him failing.

 

[NUFAN]

YESSSS!!!

Win 366 on Bet 365.
