***Official*** New Zealand in Australia 2011

[Spark]

Looks out

 

[Ruckus]

Na gone,

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Goooooooone!

 

[wellAlbidarned]

MARTIN!!!!!!!!!!!! WAFG

z

 

[Spark]

Unsurprised, feet weren't going properly today.

 

[Flem274*]

ABC are miserable. Must be plumb.

Once again, the "abuse Martin and he takes wickets" rule comes true.

Hussey will smash him obvz.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Haha.

Never has-been takes out has-been.

 

[Ruckus]

It's kind of depressing seeing how everyone's standards for Ponting have lowered so much...getting an enthusiastic send-off for a mere 78.

 

[straw man]

**** yeah Marto!!

Just got home and turned on the tv and that happened. Going to sit here turning the tv off and on and off and on now - cause and effect baby, cause and effect.

 

[Spikey]

He got a few starts before throwing it away (or running himself out) against NZ IIRC

That was two series after...he burned against NZ and Pak. Reckon getting out so many times in the 50's against India isn't really evidence of a more permanent return to form either.

yeah this. still at least this time he got out after 50 through an age old weakness rather than a stupid shot

 

[Spark]

TBF I don't think those run outs were actually his fault. Katman certainly sold him down the river once.

 

[Garson007]

Good warm up match this before the rest of the Aus-RSA series.

 

[Sylvester]

Good knock by Ponting but he must know the end is nigh.

 

[Spark]

That's timing.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Don't mind Clarke playing that shot tbh, especially with the ball still swinging.

 

[Cabinet96]

Oh cricket in Australia, I missed you.

 

[NZTailender]

Marty! Suddenly his average is under 35.

 

[NUFAN]

Don't mind Clarke playing that shot tbh, especially with the ball still swinging.

Yeah it's either a four or a nick to second slip.

In saying that, Clarke is seeing the ball so well this morning.

 

[straw man]

Good warm up match this before the rest of the Aus-RSA series.

India's batsmen may be getting a bit long in the tooth but I doubt any of them served in WW2 or 'nam

 

[morgieb]

Damn! Still, Punter showed signs of life in that innings.

Mussey and Pup will score big here I think.
