I need to know what this is about, so I can whine more about him.

More taste than a tasting plate at the House of Taste on World Tasting Day.

No that's you with Jacques Kallis after his knock today.

Saw the highlights. It looked boring.

What do people think of where Ponting is headed? He is really starting to look as bad as he did during the worst part of his slump in the 2010 Ashes series...it's just the same cycle all over again. If he can't make runs in Perth, then that pretty much would be the final straw for me. Would definitely consider bringing back Hughes and Khawaja.

Got a standing ovation.

If this was the Poms - clinging onto a 38 year old who is clearly passed it, and as though the world would cave in if he was dropped - we would laugh at them
The whole thing is just sad; the saddest part being the selection panel that clearly doesn't have the strength to pull the pin

I reckon Pontings time has come. With the exception of India he has done little for quite a while. If I were the selectors and wanted to give him the chance of bowing out gracefully I'd tell him to announce that he'll retire after the Hobart test otherwise he's getting dropped regardless.
This would give 2 Home Tests against Sri Lanka to bring someone on board(not Quiney).

Again, you're picking Quiney. I'd worry about that first.

Thing is though for all the promise of the new Aussie batsmen they're not showing up to much themselves.
Although the fact that they all seem to have to debut at 3 can't be helping.

Granted, but if Quiney is being seen as a superior option to Khawaja/Hughes right now, it doesn't bode well, does it? To be fair I don't see any of the three making runs in England next summer.

Nah, day one in particular, when you commented, was the roadiest road you'll ever see in Australia. therefore you tasted.
Now, you can either acknowledge that, or you can just say there was enough in it for bowlers, in this case:
Explain Siddle's very mediocre performance.
Either way you've painted yourself into a corner of taste.
