    Wow, that's insane. It's like his arm is made of rubber.

    LOL! I've just been making my way through the last few pages of this thread - this is ****ing brilliant! Just been watching it again and again. It's the high-pitched squeal that really puts the cherry on top for me.

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    20 bucks says they won't... Oh, wait. Nah, I reckon he's probably screwed this time.

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    That could do the job... :) His battering at the hands of KP and subsequent defensive tactics might count against him though.

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    I thought maybe Ponting might declare here with nine down, just to deny the English the satisfaction of bowling the Aussies out. I guess it makes things pretty clear as to his approach. :p

    Hoggard making a play for beating out Colly for MOM.

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Hopefully not giving him the kiss of death here, but nicely made ton by Clarke here. He's taken the opportunity he's been given, and you can't do more than that. And yes, Martyn may well be in trouble when it comes to the selection table for the next test.

    Warne in the Ashes

    Something tells me this thread and the "Hands up if you wrote off McGrath" thread are going to go through a number of twists and turns with a few "I told you so's" going back and forth. To be fair, getting wickets this test has been like getting blood out of a stone so far, Hoggard excepted...

    Seconded.

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Big fan of Kathleen de Leon here. :) This one must be a lot newer than those I've seen before though, 'cause Charli looks like she's aged substantially. I think this must be because the leadership challenge displaced normal programming...

    Sad to see Gilly go when he did. I think it was there to be hit, he just didn't quite get onto it. Giles really punched the air in "Ha ha, I meant that" fashion, too after yet another watermelon. Nice innings, but we all wanted more. Good to see him get some runs, though. I think Healy...

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    I think you're misconstruing his ideas which generally seem to relate to honoring fielder's words, playing on with floodlights, etc (unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by his fairly extensive history of seeking to "advance the game" with other captains), and applying them to what his...

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    I guess what I'm asking is what makes you think he would? Yes, he played under Waugh, but his captaincy is very much unlike Waugh. And yeah, I can see Waugh doing it (even to his own detriment), but that's precisely because he was an extremely aggressive captain, unlike Ponting. And frankly...

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Has he ever done it before? It's always seemed to me that his first priority is that the game can't be lost, and he seems to have little confidence in our bats to chase a total batting last.

    That would be extremely against type for Ponting. I'd be really surprised if he did that, given how conservative he is in general. Given how the pitch has played (and how our bowlers have fared), I'd actually prefer he play this one conservatively, to be honest.

    Not much of one, really.

    Think you're missing the point a bit, marc.

    Good stuff! Yeah, I've been pretty good. Poor India, they really are copping a bath - I was pumping up Laxman the other day and he goes for a golden in his return...

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Hussey's run-out call was horribly close wasn't it (and probably out), in spite of Jones' gloves being a tad obscuring after the fact. I had no idea what result the third umpire was going to come up with, although the longer it got, the more chance I thought there was of a not-out decision...

    You haven't been around for quite a while, mate! How's the young one going?
