***Official*** 1st Test at The Gabba

[luffy]

Ponting the legend!! It's funny watching Harmisson Bowling.

 

[luffy]

Ponting needs just 4 more runs to be the highest scorer at the Gabba.

 

[Nate]

Tragedy.

 

[pasag]

Ponting out! 196, fine knock. Hoggard finally gets the breakthrough.

 

[Somerset]

Ponting gone for 196!! Well well well..

Ponting needs just 4 more runs to be the highest scorer at the Gabba.

I blame you tbh.

 

[Alysum]

damn Ponting gone , should only hit balls outside stumps when on 196...

He's not selfish

 

[Somerset]

And another... :S Is this the same England team?

 

[luffy]

Great innings by him.

 

[pasag]

Gilchrist gone!!!!

Hoggard gets his second.

 

[silentstriker]

Hoggard! gets Gilly for 0! WOW, can England finish them off for 550 or less?

 

[chalky]

Gilchrist gone Plumb LBW

 

[adharcric]

Hoggyyyyyyyy!!!!

 

[Alysum]

Gilly still getting out round the wicket AGAIN!!!

 

[Slow Love™]

Oh, Gilly.... Not again.

I think that was pretty much out, too.

 

[NZTailender]

Hoggard gets the wickets he deserved. Has been 2nd best bowler for England, easily.

 

[Somerset]

Oh, Gilly.... Not again.

I think that was pretty much out, too.

Both looked fair decisions, in my opinion.

Chance for England to wrap proceedings up quickly here, might be time to give Flintoff another spell of 3-4 overs.

 

[luffy]

****... already I was looking forward to that. Hopefully Warne and Lee can provide some fireworks.

 

[Slow Love™]

Both looked fair decisions, in my opinion.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that Ponting's wasn't - just that even though the ball jagged back a lot, I still thought he was gone. Good umpiring, IMO, and I actually think it's been very good this test so far, although Bowden's nose scratch yesterday was kinda like when you make as if to punch someone and then you run your fingers through your hair.
