All the talk and hype of the fiery WACA pitch is looking so stupid now.

There's always this stupid hype every year. People need to get into their head that it's a ****ing road. It's got consistent bounce, wow. It's still a road.

Typical Sehwag, trying to cut a ball that's flying over middle.

From Cricinfo;

17.6 Clark to Jaffer, no run, naughty swing away, left alone, though, well judged

Jaffer is a naughty swinger??

 

[duffer]

Good lord, Rahul let's two pies go unpunished. Polar opposite to Sehwag.

I seriously don't know what Ponting is trying to achieve, by holding Tait back for such a long period of time.

 

[andyc]

Lee back on for a second spell. Bring on Tait already

Johnson and Clark have been bowling well since drinks, no point taking off a fresh bowler bowling well for someone else. His chance will come soon.

 

[Johnners]

Lee!!!

Oh...radio commentators suggesting it mightn't have been an edge?

 

[iamdavid]

Tait's warming up now...

Now of course Dravid is polar opposite to Sehwag, because Dravid has got a solid technique unlike Sehwag, now if you expect him to throw the kitchen-sink at everything ala Sehwag then that's not gonna happen.

I can't see Dravid actually getting a boundary in his first 50 or so deliveries faced.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Jaffer's gone! Caught Gilly bowled Lee.

 

[pup11]

Ok so Ponting making some good instinctive bowling changes and defying my logic of bringing in Tait, so to Punter.

 

[Johnners]

Haha wow, TV is waaaaaay behind radio, that happened a few minutes ago (see my post Lee!!!!!)

 

[duffer]

No I don't I just expect a guy who's that good to punish bad balls.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

****ing finally.

 

[Johnners]

Would've lost that tenner.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Bowling around the 150kph mark...

 

[pup11]

No I don't I just expect a guy who's that good to punish bad balls.

Now you know that the guy's badly out of form and feeling his way back into some sort of touch, don't you?

 

[pasag]

Bah that first hour or so was frustrating, besides Clark it was pretty poor cricket all round. Sehwag looked ridiculous at times, but coming in mid way through the series I'd expect that. Lee and Johnson weren't looking to flash and only Clark shone through, again. Luck didn't go his way though.
