Sad to see a great batsman get out to an injury induced poor back foot defence. Could he have ducked the delivery instead?

I dislike sledging to begin with. The players seem to make their peace with it and think it is part of the game. Stephen Fleming in his book felt that sledging doesn't bother the best batsman and that as long as it doesn't get 'personal' he can live with it.
If I had my way there would be no sledging.
Dislike Brad Haddin due to his constant sledging as well.

Larry Gomes played a couple of games for our club side once - and we were complaining about sledging in our league and he had no problem with it either. He said that he used to have to put up with Rod Marsh and the chappell brothers at first and second slip.

You been watching this series at all mate? The Windies are the one's that have been chatting the most, Benn especially. Seems like they've made a concerted effort to get under Watto's skin especially.

Anywho, have been out for the last session so was surprised to get in the car and hear Ponting coming in at 9, but with a lead of 345 and maybe another 20 or so runs tomorrow, you'd still prefer to be in Australia's boots rather than the Windies, 350+ is still a very big score to chase. If Chanderpaul was in the team I'd say they were in with a shot, but the smart money's still definitely with Australia IMO.

Well that depends. For a batsman who has terrorised the best bowlers of his time like Donald, Pollock, etc it is ironical he gets out to medicore bowlers like these.

Yawn. Get off it, Precam. Terrible pitch isn't it, btw? Can't see a result, etc.

It is painful to see Ponting becoming bunnies of rookie fast bowlers like Sharma, Roach etc. :(

Just encouraging these young fast bowlers by gifting his wickets imo.. Bit like Sachin going out to debutantes.

Great days play... certainly been exiciting to watch.
Hopefully Australia go out early tomorrow... 350 to chase with 2 days to go... will be even more exciting to watch.

Australia still strong favourites. But I'd so love it if West Indies won. So sick of Australia's arrogant declarations and so far they've escaped it coming back to bite them, but it will happen sooner or later. Australia aren't good enough to be treating teams with such utter disdain.

How is declaring at 520 with all your best batsmen in the shed arrogant?
