Hard to compare because Johnson's been bowling an outside-off line on the instructions of his stupid captain. He certainly hasn't given as many four-balls as Krezja.

Fair enough.
Now Ganguly is starting to have a crack at Krejza. I bet Mr Dhoni will enjoy this.

I know Krejza has been CW's favourite punching bag for a while now and even i have heavily criticised him, but you got to be fair to him as today he has bowled well he hasn't bowled many hit-me balls, by just looking at his bowling figure one might say that, but he has bowled in good areas and more importantly bowled in an attacking manner, Indian batsmen have just attacked him right from the outset and sometimes it has come of and sometimes it hasn't, but to Krejza' credit he hasn't bowled flat in order to be economical on the contrary he has kept on attacking and looking for wickets.

Congrats to Krezja on getting 3 wickets.
Doesn't change the fact he's ****.

He's bowled loads of half-trackers and half-volleys. His excellent extra bounce has made him more threatening than most off-spinners, especially since the Indians haven't played him before. To be fair to him too, he should have had another wicket twice. But his control is quite shocking.
What kind of team has an erratic but threatening offie and an economic but blunt leggie?

Just looks an awesome batting surface when the quicks are on. So much time and the bounce and pace is pretty consistent.

Haha, Ponting can't win really. Gets hammered for being defensive whilst his bowlers were serving up dross in the first 3 tests. Now he's trying to be a little more aggressive, and leaking just as many runs, and he's being called out for being to willing to leak runs. I know he's not the greatest tactician, but people could at least be consistent in criticising him.

Ponting can be defensive if he likes. Take out a slip, put in a point. Give gully a miss and have a mid-wicket. Bowl a seamer outside off. Defensive tactics are fine if the batsmen are on top.
My problem is the amount of boundary sweepers he uses. They're not even saving runs, they just make the runs easier to get. Batsmen still hum along at 3.5-4 an over, only when the field's back they can do it without any risk. I don't even agree with it in the middle overs of an ODI. In a test match it's ridiculous.
