***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

IMO, KP is more talented than Lara.

You forgot a smiley there.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Nope, deadly serious.

Nope, deadly serious.

Isn't it a bit soon to annoint him the next Lara? Hell, people have trouble anointing Ponting the next Lara let alone Pieterson.

 

[Matteh]

Pieterson.

*Pietersen.

Wouldn't have expected that from you tbh.

HAHA, OWNED

wanted to say that to someone for so long....

 

[silentstriker]

Yea, whatever. The Saffie bloke with the funny hair and the annoying reverse sweep shot.

 

[GotSpin]

What happend to the days of 350 being a good score. Maybe England just suck

Don't know what PF is on about, but the point dontcloseyoureyes is making that "KP is the new Lara" is that that KP is gunning it, while all the other players around him aren't performing. Similar to Lara and the WI.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah, I actually stole the line from Gelman to be honest.

It's good to see at least Marc got what I meant.

Here's a couple of day 4 photos. The first is just as Gilly takes the catch to dismiss cook late in the day - very flukey photography I tell you. The second is of GD McGrath on his way back to his fielding position after that crucial over, receiving a standing ovation from the members.

Great photos mate

 

[Craig]

I can picture that.

James Baker: "To ever obtain the desired result, it is imperative that the Allies seek the co-operation of the nations closest to Australia, in this case New Zealand and Papua New Guinea".

ECB: "You mean we should retain Geraint Jones in the team? WTF?".

Give this guy the $10,000 (or in this case the 10,000 euros).

Seriously though that is the Skull winner right there for mine.

 

[howardj]

For sure - post of the year.

Although I disagreed as I don't think the rest of them are all underperforming *that* much, certainly not the batsmen.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I didn't say you agreed, I just said you got what I meant.

Nice pics

 

[Jono]

That photo of Cook's dismissal is brilliant.

Fair enough.

Out of interest, what do you base the comparison with Lara on seeing the way the middle order (in particular) are performing?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I wasn't even being serious, it was just a point from the WACA test where he'd been left alone with the tail.

But really, the Windies have Lara, then two other batsman who can make reasonable runs: Chanderpaul and Gayle. England have had Collingwood and Bell make consistent runs. Kind of works as a comparison, but not really.

Anyway, I think KP should bat @ 4. Surely he needs to be able to turn these 50* and 70 holing out with the 10 at the crease into big hundreds.
