Both would be great wins, but the win at Melbourne would be better by some distance, as from being 6/141, they went onto garner a 64 run lead and thereafter bowl the Aussies out cheaply, and now are in touching distance of their first test series win in Australia, that certainly is a very impressive showing from the Proteas, and kudos to the Saffies for coming up with such awesome performances in back to back tests.
SL a bit higher than that. It's a given Mendis will destroy England for instance and probably SA too.
Only at home.
) from Ponting. 
Suffering from nascent stress fractures in his foot. Not surprised he was no-balling today if bowling was hurting him as much as it was suggested would be the case. But agree, we want four fit bowlers, preferably ones in some semblance of form for Sydney.Haha **** me this thread has been pathetic. Terrible 2 days of cricket from Australia, barring a wonderful batting performance (apart from that 1 shot
****ing pissed off at Symonds inclusion in the team moreso than at any other time in his career atm, lost for words about it really. If he's not dropped for the Sydney test it's ****ing atrocious.
Lees injury could be a blessing in disguise really. Love the bloke, but he's clearly still horribly out of form (yeah has bowled a few good overs, but his no-ball problem says it all really) and imo suffering from the indian tour. Bollinger to replace him and take 10-fer in Sydney.
Massive lol at the idea that Clarke needs to be dropped though. Not like he's been one of our best batsmen so far this summer or anything.
I totally agree, Lee is one of the real gem of a sportsmen of world cricket.
He also looks like Paris Hilton. Coincidence? I think not.
Michael Hussey's Test average has now dropped below 60
I reckon they'd have lost 2-1 after underperforming in the first test, somehow collapsing to lose 7 wickets in the final session of the second test and blaming it all on the umpires before coming back to win in Perth with the help of their bowlers ability to swing the ball. Then Ponting would ton up in the final test as Australia secured the series with a draw.
Yeah mate! Hope we can play atleast 30-40 overs in the day!
The presence of Ishant and Harbhajan would ensure Ponting didn't ton up more than once in the series.
Besides, the Indian team now have a restraining order slapped on Steve Bucknor, thankfully.
if i am correct this is his second ban rite ?????
From stroke of luck bowler to strike and main bowler in the team, Johnson's swings have been wilder than those of Murali while batting.
Hoping, but not really expecting...

Ponting is best captain in world also best bastman of the world now problem is hayden and hussy and lees form what about shown tait and nathan brekan and give chance to lefthand bowler and I think shown marsh and shane wations is good player and also higest wicket in domestic level some two batsman leftarm bowler also give them chance within one or two series australiya back to form.
Well England like preparing spin pitches so they can boost Panesar's stats and lose badly to SL, so home and away.
Me neither, tbh. Was working up a fair bit of pace, up to 150kph in his few overs - hope that is a sign that he is really pumped for what will likely be his last bowl in a month or two - could theoretically be his last bowl for Australia.Hoping, but not really expecting...
