***Official*** NatWest Series/Challenge

[Mister Wright]

Yeh, Saw it to. Shane Lee's a bit dull though

Yeah, but he's sticking the knives into Buchannan & Ponting.

 

[Jono]

The whole panel has had a lot of criticism of Ponting's captaincy actually.

 

[King_Ponting]

Whats wrong with them? He was clearly flawless in his captaincy skills during this game.

 

[Hoggy31]

I can't believe the probability of Australia winning was only 53%, Should be more like 70%

 

[Linda]

Is Gough TRYING to look like a tool?

They said he should have not taken the 'foot off the gass' when Collingwood first came in.

This game, he was exceptional.

You've got a short memory if you think that's been the cast thoughout the summer, but no matter.

Regarding Buchanan, I quite like the bloke - his in-you-face-stick-it-in-your-ear arrogance is quite refreshing compared to what you normally get.

I do think that the Aussies have just the one serious problem as far as back-up bowlers go now though. McGrath and Warne are all-time greats, Lee has come on in huge strides this series but I'm inclined to think that Mullet has gone, possibly for good. Is there anyone else ready to step up?

 

[Hoggy31]

LOL!!! Bowled of a no-ball!!! HAHAHAHA

 

[Jono]

Gilly bowled by Gough on a no-ball. Unfortunate.

I doubt the Mullet is gone forever. As far as the future goes, there are some promising players like Tait, however, I think there will be some guys going in and out of the side before there is an established bowling team.

Job done if so.

 

[Mister Wright]

That could be the break that Gilchrist has needed all series. Look out England.

 

[Hoggy31]

Gilly looks like he wants to put the result beyond doubt early

 

[Linda]

Wow, I almost feel sorry for Gough.

 

[Hoggy31]

Haddin subbed in for McGrath

 

[BoyBrumby]

Haddin subbed in for McGrath

Slightly surreal time to do it tho!

Is Gilchrist trying to make a statement? He hasn't got close to middling a ball from Jones's over yet, but he's still got two fours. Decent pace from Jones too, up around 90mph.

Good to do it now, because he might want Haddin to come in next.

Punter clearly expecting a wicket then....

Flintoff = King

 

[Hoggy31]
