I don't want you to ever bag the commentators out again.

Ever.

 

[straw man]

If they get a small lead on the first innings, they will lose their heads and get bowled out cheaply because they are ahead in the game.

If they concede a small first innings lead, then they will lose their heads and get bowled out cheaply because they are still in the game.

That is how we roll.

It's funny cos it's true.

Taylor and Ryder both owe us centuries next innings - nothing short of that will suffice.

 

[Flem274*]

Ponting will be out in the first over.

 

[Flem274*]

Oh Martin's bowling. Ponting will be out second over.

 

[Ruckus]

I really want to see Ponting get to a 100, just to see how much his batting will free up.

 

[Flem274*]

I really want to see Ponting out next ball he faces.

South Africa are such ****s for letting him get to sixty.

The only positive is the double hundred Punter will score against India with his newfound form.

 

[Woodster]

Yes seems to fighting numerous issues at the start of this session Ponting. Maybe a thunderous pull shot, a drive down the ground, or that nice drive through covers that he's just played, may go some way to settling him down.

 

[Ruckus]

I kind of doubt it...he scored that double against Pak, looked gold, scored an 89 the very next innings in the same match, and then faded away again. If he manages to get a century here, I reckon he might have a temporary return in form but will ultimately return to his bad habits.

 

[Flem274*]

Should give Williamson a trundle at some point.

 

[Spark]

Nah he didn't fade until he ran into Anderson/Tremlett. Made 50s for fun against India.

Yeah England did a much better job.

That was two series after...he burned against NZ and Pak. Reckon getting out so many times in the 50's against India isn't really evidence of a more permanent return to form either.

He got a few starts before throwing it away (or running himself out) against NZ IIRC

Cruncch

141 ffs

Ha yeh he was run out out twice, forgot about that. Bit of bad luck there, if you can call it that, but the bottom line is he hasn't got enough runs since his Pak heroics...and I don't think anyone honestly believes he was back to his best after that either.

 

[Spark]

Haha oh dear

 

[Flem274*]

Oh no, please don't be overturned

 

[Ruckus]

Hmmm looked out. Maybe down leg.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Tomarto!

Looks close.
