It was ugly, desperate, and yes disgraceful.Jeez, I didn't see this but the cricinfo description of Ponting having a go at Dar sounds absolutely disgraceful.

Yeah you'd have to think Ponting will have the captaincy taken off him if (and when) Australia lose this one. Think he still has a couple of good years in him with the bat if that happens.Jeez, I didn't see this but the cricinfo description of Ponting having a go at Dar sounds absolutely disgraceful.

Until all out. Keep them in the field for as long as possible, build the scoreboard pressure, and let them build up the footmarks.How long should Strauss bat on for? Unless bowled out, I would keep going until tomorrow.
As long as he likes really. Certainly, he shouldn't declare any earlier than tea on day 3, in the unlikely event that the batsman continue for that long.How long should Strauss bat on for? Unless bowled out, I would keep going until tomorrow.
No need to declare here unless still batting at the end of play tomorrowHow long should Strauss bat on for? Unless bowled out, I would keep going until tomorrow.
If thats the mindset I'll be happy if we don't take anymore wickets tbh. Wouldnt mind a draw.Until all out.
Yeah, not bowling well today from what I've seen. I think he's being asked to do too much of a specialist spinners job in landing it in the footmarks and is therefore trying too hard. At least he's gone back over the wicket now. Short ones clearly don't help though. Streaky 50 Prior but well played to get this far after some luck.Some real filth from Smith here. Seems a nice kid and all, but he's badly out of his depth IMHO.
If he did, it would create quite the conundrum for the selectors.Lead over 300. He might be a ****, but I really want to see a Ricky Ponting century in the second dig.
