Very close LBW decision for Ponting

Fairly **** myself seeing it live. Thankfully the great man lives on.

powell seems to be getting into the swing of things now

 

[Burgey]

Anyone know why Hussey is wearing a different style lid to normal?

Actually proud to notice that at 1.45 am.

Yeah, it looks strange on him....So used to seeing him wearing the 'new' helmet. His other one probably got cracked in the nets or something...

Looks like some uneven bounce especially from the end that that Powell was bowling from & now Bravo. Quite a few keeping low.

 

[sideshowtim]

Hmm, doesn't look good for Powell...

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Oh dear, both Powell AND Edwards hurt?

 

[jammay123]

have players not learnt from simon jones not to slide like that on a cricket outfield

 

[chalky]

Commentators reporting that Edwards might be injured hopefully he has just gone off the field for the customary shower & massage that fast bowlers tend to have after a spell.

Would be a disaster for the Windies if he is injured.

As I type Powell injures himslef diving in the field.

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw Powel's knee get caught in the ground - thankfully doesn't look as serious.

Me too. Didn't dig in as much as Jones' knee did. Looked worse live.

Powell back on West Indies need to break this partnership quickly.

 

[roseboy64]

Well Hinds was to play but got injured and guessing common sense prevailed and Jaggernauth got the nod over Benn.

 

[jammay123]

Windies doing really well to contain hussey but they need to get him out soon. they wont keep him quite for much longer.

 

[TT Boy]

That looked out to me, surprised Sammy's appeal was so restrained.

 

[sideshowtim]

2/87...Pretty much par I'd say. Let's hope these two can push on after lunch. Not too concerned with Hussey striking at the rate he is, he'll pick it up soon...Now is a time to consolidate, not attack.

 

[chalky]

Conservative captaincy from Sarwan having the deep point to Ponting 1st over after lunch easy singles at will.

 

[aussie]

We see those ones given not out a fair bit, but it was the right decision.

word, but i still didn't like it.

Was just thinking, with Ponitng saying at the toss that Clarke is flying into the WI 2moro. Now that Katich has failed if Hodge scores big in this test that would be a messed up scenario. Early days though.

Suicide run from Australia Ponting dead if Sammy had hit the stumps
