*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[Spark]

The captains agree to call it off.

In any case there are min 24 overs remaining, so there's at least 9 overs before they can call it off. Given how Ponting's going he may be somewhat close to 100 by then.

 

[Johnners]

Lol.. Please. What did they post really?

400 AO. We've knocked off the total already, this is just Ponting giving the fans a full days play.


edit: Nah, he's right though, unfortunately.

I don't know how to say this to you...

OK. Seem to remember them going off very early in the 3rd session in the recent India-NZ Tests for some reason.

 

[Burgey]

They really did post that.

So you're trying to tell me Alistair Cook has a test double ton (at least) and Hussey doesn't. Get real.

So we can safely say she flattened out days 3, 4 and 5.. That's what, 6 or 7 for about 900 since stumps day two?

It gets worse. You won't want to see the higlights.

What more he beats Bradmans' record score on this ground.

 

[Johnners]

You'd think they're trying to bounce him out or something...

 

[Spark]

Please, keep bouncing Ponting. He's so bad at the pull-shot.

Cook>>>Kallis, thinking about it

Time to re-introduce the six day test match imo.

We'd have not declared until we got to 900-1 tbh

England could have broke the world record score then

Ponting, what a star! The only genuine great on both teams proves it again with a counter-attacking whirlwind.

Silly decision by Strauss to declare. Far better to have batted and batted and batted and really put the boot in.

Only thing stopping us from breaking it in the following innings would be the fact that we didn't need to get that much to pass the total itbt.

siddle could have taken another hat trick

 

[Spark]

It is worth noting that Siddle and Hilfenhaus only bowled one spell for the whole day.

Cook's knock was better than Hussey's, mate. (Although there is only a little in it.)
