Easy. The arguement againts Ponting was that because the pitch was flat he shouldn't have bowled first & because of what happened to McGrath.Good luck explaining that one.

No...THEY'RE NOT.
Plus if you want to get even more technical, Kasprowicz wasn't out.
Even if Ponting had batted first, i wouldn't have prevented AUS batsmen from being exposed techinically to the conventional & reverse swing - which was the REAL reason why AUS lost that test & the Ashes - not Ponting's decison to field first. Which was not a tactical blunder as people have been lead to believe.There are very few circumstances in modern Test cricket where bowling first is right, and Edgbaston '05 was in no way one of them.
Take it elsewhere, we're about to win this Ashes. Oh and Yeah Boyks is the only man who thought that decision was wrongEven if Ponting had batted first, i wouldn't have prevented AUS batsmen from being exposed techinically to the conventional & reverse swing - which was the REAL reason why AUS lost that test & the Ashes - not Ponting's decison to field first. Which was not a tactical blunder as people have been lead to believe.
I blame Boycott for starting this fallacy.
Haha, get ****ed. Show me where you predicted England dismissing Australia in two sessions, and then you can gloat.
Could've quoted any of the 3 parts of that post, all ridiculous.Good luck explaining that one.
I hate post like this. What the use having a cricket debate if you have no intention of responding, but instead chose to make stupid statements like this?. I already given valid reason why Ponting had no fault @ Edgbaston, so unless you intend to try to disapprove it - dont say anything.Could've quoted any of the 3 parts of that post, all ridiculous.
Finally you're getting it, Octavius!Yet when people do it for England its all well and good?
