Three for Johnson now. WA look like they'll fall short of 200.

Johnson for the first test if i got my way.

 

[Johnners]

4-56 from Johnno. Another 3 wickets in the 2nd Innings and that 4th bowling spot is his IMO. Clark will want a 5-fer tomorow to get himself back in the running.

I'm not too sure tbh. I think Clark is in there, he will have to bowl poorly to bowl himself out of a place. Although Johnson taking wickets is putting pressure on him.

Victoria win + bonus point. Tasmania all out 145; shambles of an innings on both accounts. Credit to the bowlers of both teams. It was a reasonable batting track.

Good job, Vics!!

That was an awesome fight back.

I hate watching Mick Lewis bowl though, I've got nothing against the bloke, but just can't stand watching him. Did a good job though.

Denton was awesome.

Is it his twitches & blinks?? lol

Ponting v Warne on Tuesday.

I'll back Punter.

 

[Josh]

I'll attend.

You're on.

I'll back Warne.

Still tipping Ponting to have a mediocre summer.

Tasmania can't chase for **** in the one dayers. They lost two or three matches in exactly the same way last season with massive collapses chasing attainable totals. It was a tough pitch to bat on and in those conditions you need the batsman that get a start to go on with it and bat through, the shocking decision Ponting got was crucial in the context of the game.

Didn't see it, what happened ??

Lol. Look, I'll be honest, that doesn't help, but if he's got a syndrome or anything similar I really don't want to make fun of him. Might be treading thin ice.

Its more his action, style and length he bowls. Just not good to watch.

I don't know what it is but I can tell you his nickname is "Blinky".

Definitely not a textbook action by a longshot, but it gets results; and isn't that all you want??

I'd say the same about S.Clark. His action disgusts me, but he too gets results (somehow)

 

[Nate]

Random fact from Wikipedia about THAT one-day match.

"An Australian punter placed a bet of AU$20,000 on Australia to win during the innings break at the odds of $1.01. He therefore stood to win only $200."

 

[Jono]

Haha yeah that was pointed out back when the 434 chase occurred.

Surely that guy (I thought it was 2 guys) has planned an assasination of Mick Lewis?

 

[chris.hinton]

Phil Jaques will win the Ashes for you at this rate he is going

 

[Alysum]

Man what happened to all those WA superstars to get out cheaply? And Symonds picked up 3 wickets??

Things are becoming interesting aren't they...

I went to see NSW yesterday, well there's nothing more I can say about Jaques, he just needs to be in both form of the game for AUS ASAP!

Hayden warms up for the first test with a 50. He's 51*, Love 18* and they now have a 50 run partnership. QLD 1/97.

W.A.'s collapse happened at the same time in their innings. Here's hoping QLD don't do the same...

Hoping for a Century from Love.
