Just got back from Bellerive oval, what an awesome day of test cricket!
The defining moment was definitely when Aamer dropped Ponting in a catch that any under-15's player would be harshly criticised for dropping. It was that moment that decided Ponting's fate from being 'idiot who will never learn' to 'masterful batsman and captain'.
Hope to see him bring up a double tomorrow. Touch wood.

He should get the frosted tips going as well.
Heck, he should grow it out. 2 foot long flowing Poon Mane. Give your retirement speech looking like that.

Yeah, I think calling it 'arrogance' is a little off the mark. He's backing himself to play a shot he's played well his whole career. Whether it's ill-advised to do so early in his innings these days is another thing, but I think sometimes confidence in yourself is seen as arrogance. Especially if you are Ricky Ponting, and calling him 'arrogant' sounds worse.Oh yeah, Ponting is so arrogant, he shouldn't play those lovely pull shots.

So far there has been 13 dropped catches in this series and the dropped batsman has added 568 runs and this is not taking in to account of the runs scored in partnership with the batsman who has been dropped.
On average Pakistan is conceding 134 runs per innings extra due to their failure to catch the ball.I guess they have not heard about a famous cricket line 'catches win matches'

Jeez. Aussie would have really done badly in their first dig at Sydney if Pakistan had held their catches.

Was bowling superbly against Clarke. That late out swing was killing Clarke.
Its just not happening for Pakistan.
Yousuf has injected too much negative/defensive atmosphere in this team. Completely the opposite of what a leader/captain should do.
Worse part is, the only other candidate who might be successful in bringing the aggression back is Afridi and he is not even playing test cricket.

^ Yes very disappointing.
Well on the brighter side, Pakistani Parliament has recommended the President to fire all PCB administration for the lack of performance. And i am all for that.
