Has Smith actually won a toss against Ponting in the 5 tests between the two sides in the last few months ?
Unless I'm wrong, every test has been "Ponting wins the toss & Australia bat"

Chris Matthews, Australia. Mid-80s v England (I think).

I was ecstatic walking past the pub last night and seeing Aus batting at 0/182. Was like the glory days of Hayden Langer. Very excited for Hughes. Glad he picked up the ton. Great to see Katich get one as well.
Little disappointed in our middle order though. Ponting and Clarke have given the SAffies a whisper of a hope of dismissing us for under 400, which must be considered the target for them.
Would be nice to set 500+ for the first innings.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.Sometimes i think people don't know the meaning of the word "literally"

Just seems odd that someone who's such a good player finds such insipid, nay embarrasing ways to get out

Amazing the resilience of the Aussies. Well done to them. Dropping catches never win matches. And SA are paying dearly for that. Anyways, glad to see the youngling Hughes make his mark. Am already a fan of his.
This match is as good as gone for Saffers.

Sometimes i think people don't know the meaning of the word "literally"
I'm so, so with you on this except I'd be more emphatic:
I know for sure that most people who use the term "literally" have no idea what it means, and think it means the polar opposite of what the word actually means.
Example for the gramatically challenged:
"Literally slap them around like a bitch" means that they actually raised their hands and made physical contact to the face.
Their is three ways to remedy this:
1. Replace the word "literally" with either "Figuratively" or "metaphorically" (hope i got the spellings right) but only if you know the context in which to use those words.
2. Don't ever use "literally" not even if your 100% sure that you now understand the meaning.(consider it a punishment for misuse)
3. Use a low brow term instead that actually means what you want it to mean; try:
kinda like Slapin em like a bitch
itsa bit like Slapin em like a bitch
theybee Slapin em like a bitch
Lesson Complete!

Uppercut was the one to point out the misuse of the term.

From Cricinfo;
Pat: "When are the South African commentators going to give Phil Hughes a break? They continue to rip on his style and supposed weakness. Actually I guess it's not a bad thing, as he continues to make them eat their words, again and again. Watch out South Africa, you have many years ahead of you being spectators to Phil Hughes tons. Well played son."
Quite.
