Hussey outside off stump shocker

 

[_Ed_]

That should make you feel better mate, Huss gone.

It did...until I remembered who was coming out next.

Good to see Southee bowling another good spell though.

 

[Sir Alex]

Am I the only one who thinks Clarke should bat four in this team?

Always felt he should replace Ponting when Punter's gone, so actually bat at No.3. If Ponting has exception to that,then Clarke should bat at no.4.

 

[Zinzan]

Ponting drops below Tendulkar n career avg.

Seriously dude, how the hell is that relevant to this thread at all ?

Feel free to report it if I cannot comment on Ponting who is playing in this test match.

Wouldn't bother reporting it, just getting tiresome Tendulkar being mentioned (by the same posters) in virtually every thread

I thought it was quite interesting tbh

Fair enough, suppose it was a valid enough post in this instance, probably just a reaction to the over-the-top Tendulkar-fan-boy-ism of recent times

You're just a hater mate, obviously..

Haha......is it that transparent

Patel's got a wicket! It came about thanks to a **** shot by Clarke, but we'll gladly take that.

They've handed us 3 or the 4 wickets on a plate to be fair.

Corrected.

That's a real annoyance that. He was looking good.

As the quote goes ..."perception is often reality"

 

[archie mac]

I still don't rate North, but he keeps proving me wrong, and a ton here may well win me over

Gee I sound like a fickle bastard

Let's take it to another thread.

It's all good

From what I've seen of him, doesn't always look great technically, but does seem to be 'mentally tough'.

Martin seems to be getting better as the day progresses. He's hit 141kph this over, too.
