    ***Official*** India in South Africa

    It's quite possible that Mickey Arthur's will if they lose the series. Maybe even if they draw it.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa

    Smith just taking the light. They'll be happy with a draw, they usually are. Of course, that's advantage to India, too.

    Comparing the series

    I don't really know about a jump in quality all round, either. Obviously Australia's standard has dramatically lifted, and we're not carrying a Dizzy or Kaspa in the bowling lineup, even if Lee has been a bit unimpressive in general (good today tho). And the batting's gone through the roof...

    It actually looked initially like he threw the ball at the boundary rope after he collected it. :blink:

    ***Official*** India in South Africa

    Spot on in both respects, IMO. The South African commentators have cheesed me off in the instances I've been able to watch this series, as their obvious opinion is that it should be a walkover for the Saffies, so anything that conflicts with that assumption is going to be a result of...

    So did England really had a chance anyway?

    England man for man weren't Australia's equals, that's true. But they weren't necssarily last time either, and they managed to beat us. I do think they'd have fared better at home (though I wouldn't have expected them to win), and some of what affected their performances was their poor...

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    Clark bowled BEAUTIFULLY today. Just magnificent. Bugger the figures, I would have just about handed him the MOTM award. It was funny to see both England and Australia not bother to appeal a couple of times for raps on the pads that looked pretty close. I don't know what the hell was going...

    Rank the Teams ODI Uniforms

    When good snappy comebacks go bad. :laugh: Here's my rankings: 1) England - easily the best uniform for mine, great colors, perhaps a touch more red needed though 2) NZ - Nearly everybody likes the black look. Seems out of place on a cricket ground, but something cool about it - kinda like...

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    Yeah, he's obviously playing as a stopgap for "balancing" purposes until Watson's return (although I don't believe Watson's place as a regular is entirely set in stone... yet), because the Aussie selectors have for some time been obsessed with finding a fulltime test all-rounder. But in terms...

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    Haha, yeah, Symonds did seem to cop a pretty savage dry hump or two when he jumped into Hayden's arms just then. Symonds a fair bit heavier than little Langer, too.

    There's the hundred, gets there with a six! Great stuff, Symmo!

    LOL, Nath's little avatar wager about to pay off big time, here. Excellent call.

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    It might be over already. As to Symonds, yeah, his figures aren't good, but I'm sometimes surprised by the really negative remarks directed towards him at this forum. I think he's maybe experienced some confusion as to his role in the batting order at times, and though it's very likely that he...

    Oh man, I hope that slo-mo clip of Flintoff pulling faces makes it onto Youtube.

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    So with these two set and Gilly, Warne and co still to come, is 350 on the cards?

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    :laugh: Well, he did his best to help, taking just under 20 balls to get off the mark... EDIT: Oops, for some reason I was thinking of Symonds.

    Century for Hayden! Well played, and very much needed.

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    Yeah, tough one - it hit him on the back leg though, about halfway up and in front - I think I would have given it myself though. And to be fair, the English bowlers have had a pretty bad run over the last day or so with LBWs.

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    Panesar vs Symonds should be interesting. I don't really buy the story that Symonds was clueless against him in the first innings at Perth and went for the tonk out of uncertainty - I think he was seeing it pretty well and just got over-excited trying to hit the cover off it. Will definitely...
