Clarke had averaged 183 or something ridiculous with the ball in the past 12 months before he took that wicket. One of the most over-rated partnership breakers around based entirely on two games.

Matt Prior's got worse hair then Virender Sehwag.

And usually Collingwood gets out to the quality bowling, not innocuous length balls from the likes of Michael Clarke.
Hope he bowls more this series.

My predictive texting usually comes up with something like that when I'm in a tense situation and mashing keys on my phone to pretend like I'm doing something, but that really doesn't have much to do with anything.

True, and we're now 4 down, with 5 definitely to follow before the end of the day... a disappointing end to an excellent start of the day...

Haha, Ponting sticking it to the crowd. Bloody poms.

Once the rep is made (Collingwood the "northern fighter", Pietersen the "soft South African"), it's essentially impossible to change it.

So we sit through a long spell of North for Pup to come on and get a wicket. Collingwood threw his wicket away. Irresponsible batting.

People from the south are weak, soft ladyboys and you don't get much more south than South Africa.

The writing was on the wall when the ball started finding the fielders rather than the gaps, which it's mostly still doing (Prior's just edged a couple for four). It was logical that one of them would eventually go in the air.
Usually the way.
Yeah, North won't get that many in 3 times the amount of overs. After North bowled 50 overs and did jack all, as soon as Katich or Clarke came on it was a given they were going to get a wicket.
Take away the 6 he got in India, that's 13 wickets. That's not half bad for a player with a bad back that just rolls his arm over. He's played 48 tests, say he bowls in half thats 24. 13 wickets in 24 tests. Half the time he picks up these breakthroughs.

Convincing start from Prior...at least he's still there though I guess.

How uncouth... Although Southerners are no where near as hard as northerners, by nature! I tell you, it's great having SkyPlayer, I can pretend to work while watching this fiasco, and my boss just thinks I'm engrossed in tapping into forms... how little he suspects!

That's what some (mostly clueless northerners) think but it's obviously completely untrue, like any sweeping generalisation is.
No, he's not. If he doesn't pick up a wicket, he sets one up with his tight bowling which gives nothing away unless you make something happen. To make something happen means a risk, and half the time a risk will go wrong. Brings me back up to my logic just before, half the time he gets a wicket.
