Interesting that 2 wickets have fallen to full tosses and the other to wicked outswing. Pitch road-itude as yet unproven.

You must be watching a different match. It swung very late. Should have been countered with his front foot but it swung late.

bowled off a half volley that deviated slightly off the pitch to take out off stump.
He played inside it and fell over.
It looked very ugly.
Still can't see where this "swing" is that the commentators are talking about. Please see Southee vs Sri Lanka to learn what the definition of swing is.

I've been trying to explain it but it dead set looks like a complete and utter ****up from Ponting rather than anything special from the ball.

**** you people must be watching a totally different broadcast if you think it didn't swing, **** me.
Kallis has bowled a full delivery on off stump - probably a touch fuller than a half volley, but hardly a great delivery. For some reason, Ponting has played inside it - no foot movement - and his off pole has been dented. He made it look as if it swung massively late, but the Channel 9 graphic showed it as barely deviating.
For added comedic effect, he's fallen flat on his face.
@Spark, I'll nominate.

I was in shock for a few secs. I didn't know what had happened.
Comms were calling it a lethal delivery etc until they finally saw the replay.
Weirdest bowled I've probably seen.
Kallis WAG though. Getting wickets bowling fast at the age of 37, hats off.

If he did something similar in the second innings, I would have massive question marks over his position in the team.

Yeah I'm trying to see what the commentators are saying, but I don't. It swung a bit, but Cowan's was far more vicious in terms of movement. Ponting made it look way better than it was. 5 years ago he would have been fine.

Only bowling at about 125 klicks, but getting sharp bounce.
Heavy balls looking like an asset at Adelaide. Ironic he's got his wickets by bowling full.

Nah, that was gash from Ponting really. The ball swung probably past his bat, it was no way unplayable.

It only needs to move half a bad width to mis the bat, not sure what relevance the visciousness of the swing has to do with it.
He played it poorly by not getting his front foot forward, but lots of people play balls badly.
