Wasn't far out on the target.
Aus needs one of these two to get a biggy today and ease the pressure on the rest particularly Clarke who seems to cop flak in the shorter game no matter what he does.

Siddle was only there (if he was there at all?) to recover from injury which is a bit different. You're spot on with Doherty though - was left out of First Class cricket until very late last season.

Yeh I want to stop myself getting too excited though, just in case he fails. Another period of Ponting at his best would indeed be glorious.
Think this slow, wet outfield is going to hurt us here.

The way I look at it is this; Ponting's already an all-time Aussie great, one of the best to ever play the game. Yet he's still putting in massive work to not only get fit but to just be a better batsman. A bloke already at that level, no way is he going to put in like that and fail over the long-term. Eventually he'll really hit his stride again.
EDIT: Darn.

Broad to own Ponting because of this.

I dunno though, there is only so much determination can make you succeed. Who knows his style of play, with heavy use of pulls and hooks etc., might just not be conducive to older age and the inevitable deterioration of reflexes...

Fair in general. Looks whip-quick right now, very positive movement in general. I think it's a matter of time. We'll see.

I've been saying this throughout the whole thread. He's taken 13 wickets in his last 3 matches - 14 in 4 now with still most of a spell still to bowl. Nuwan was called a club bowler in this thread .. well I reckon Perera fits the title more and I don't even think he'd feature in the top 20 wicket takers of Sydney first grade. Yet he keeps getting batsmen out in ODIs. It's actually really annoying me now.

I know, everyone else is going more than a run a ball eh?
It's pretty tough out there mate. The ball is doing plenty.

Currently striking at 9 ( edit now 15!!!), man we are screwed. Was watching some old Clarke today from 04/05 v Pak and WI, he opened that summer in the one dayers and absolutely smashed em, pull shots for 6 through mid on, slapping cover drives over the top, completely different player now.
