Was really hoping the top order would stick around to make it a bit easier for Khawaja to do something here. Hopefully he and Clarke can put something together.

Sad to see Ponting failing again - another failure in the next innings and a big Australia A game from Warner or someone similar and it may well be curtains.

I still refuse to be too critical over Watson. His place is a solid as a rock. Getting him from the opener's spot to 6 or 7 will NOT benefit the team! Aussie fans should be happy to have an all-rounder that can consistently get the shine of the new ball. Whining about the lack of conversions is really asking for too much imho.

career. over.
Nah, Aus will collapse from here and Punter will save his team in the 2nd dig :ph34r: .

To be serious: The fact that the best #3 of Aus of recent times has been sent to #4 is pretty much career ending anyway. To me it looks like a weird way of sending one out slowly....

It's sad to see Ponting go down this way tbh. Hopefully he gets one more series so he can score some runs against our average NZ attack.

It will be weird when Ponting retires. Hard to imagine an Australian side without that short bugger marching to the wicket looking like he's swallowed a bee and ready to kill someone over it.
