Love how fired up AB is getting. Been a long time......

You just know if he was the coach, the players would be expecting a spray at the end of play.

BARNES OUT
This game is over, it's done and dusted.

Well done Ricky, you just threw away a golden opportunity. I'm sure you'll ton up against New Zealand to boost your gargantuan ego.

Chris broad went into the Aussie dressing room and let ponting know that a suspension is on the cards for being 10 overs behind. Gutless...

Will be an interesting press conference at the end of this test re: White's selection, Clark being dropped, and this awesome session of letting India off the hook.

So annoyed. In the past I've been, if not a Ponting-as-test-captain defender, then at least not a critic, and have defended him from some of the bashers around here. But his captaincy in the last hour here defies understanding. Your opponents are collapsing, from no-where you've got a chance in the match and hence to retain the trophy, two of your quicks have been getting the ball to reverse, and you throw a ball to a guy who you not only shouldn't have selected in this match at all, but who has also through the series proven himself to be the third or fourth best (part-time) spinner in the team, ahead of those quicks and the other, better, part-time spinners. Then when that predictably takes the pressure off the batsmen and gets the runs flowing, you through it to a really-part-timer dibbly dobbler medium pacer. Unbelievable! :@

Just give the rock to Watto ffs. Overrates won't matter if you get them all out tonight...

Im not for one second suggesting anything here, but there has to be an investigation into why a captain intentionally gives away a potentially matchchanging position and surrenders all momentum.

Anytime there is strange behaviour like this then it is essential for the good of the sport that it is investigated properly, if only to 100% rule out wrongdoing.

This is gonna really piss of the aussies when the indians come out and say how Australia was not interested in winning the match etc etc. Thats why johnson had a go at laxman last test. DIRE. So Aust can beet NZ with out punter? or is he just trying to make some easy runs to keep in contact with TEnds 12000. This is a bit selfish stuff. I am surprised :(

How can be Ponting be so brain-dead, if Australia had taken the remaining 4 wickets quickly the over rates won't have been any issue at all.
