Jono,i made it along as well, What about the ticket prices,,,mine was 125 dollars for 2nd level,Even though i got it for free thats not the point,$125 and 46 for cheapest seats just seems a bit much,even for the worlds best,i said to the guy we (aussies) see the worlds best every summer and dont have to pay that amount hahaha, Agree on the atmosphere but at no stage did the ROW look like getting close,this made it impossible to get any excitment among the crowd, about the only excitment was the guys trying to start the mexican wave about 20 times before half succeding oh and the noisey efforts by the Sri Lanken crowd trying to get some life into the ROW team, I think there pride would have been *****ed and they will be chucking the kitchen sink at the Oz today huh? expect fireworks in this do or die game for them. 11 champions dont like being humiliated like that and we cant afford to give these guys lives by dropped catches as they will eventually make us pay...Jono said:

Haha I love Bill Lawry in the commentary box. He is one of those people that are so biased that it is laughable and not annoying to listen to.
I love it when something goes against Australia, he tries to act neutral but his Australian passion comes through. I wish the other comentators would whind him up a bit more.

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I was just responding to why he's so happy playing against Australia.shaka said:

Class above i said not class apart. I mean IMO he is a better batsman in ODI, In the best ODI team in perhaps the history of the game he has been the stand out ,clearly best batsman in the last 18 months,IMO without peer in world ODI, In tests Kallis as a test batsman is the best in the world over last 2 years. Kallis bowling figures have diminished as he has moved up to occupy no 3 batting slot,in early days when he was a bowler who was bowling at same or faster pace than flintoff his allrounder staus was not in question,as age has caught up and he is pro longing his carrer he has mostly been a part time bowler. As will happen to Mr Flintoff as he gets older,,,IMO ,as an All rounder bat and Bowl,i would have freddie as a bat in test id have kallis as a bat at ODI id certainly take Symondsgreg said:

well even though i really didn't want to see Clark n e where near the the aussie team let the ODI side, but i saw him bowl in the nets at OT when Australia where here before the 3rd ashes test and his action looks simple, but i'll be supporting him to do well & Australia to play well again & go 2-0 up before i head of to school tommorrow morning...

Slightly? Blatantly!aussie said:
While his bowling is not at the level of Flintoff, they play 2 very different roles. Flintoff is a strike bowler and is expected to take wickets. Symonds will usually bowl his 10 but his job is to bowl economically and pick up 1 or 2 wickets. If he gets a bag of them it is a bonus.
Both players have improved in the ODI form since the selectors/captains realised that they are batsman and not sloggers and put them in batting positions that reflect that.
Symonds does his job exceptionally well for his team, as does Flintoff. If they were doing the same role then you could compare them, but they don't so saying one is better than the other is only going to lead to more arguments.

So? Big deal. Symonds usually bowls spin so is likely to be a bit more expensive.marc71178 said:
