*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[Noble One]

Fair play to Watson for jumping onto the front foot again. Must create some doubt when you come forward and get struck on the shoulder.

 

[robelinda]

How does this Ashes performance rank against Ponting's others I wonder

Ponting's first 3 tests in 2001 were pretty bad, as were his first 3 in 1998/99, much worse than now.

 

[Spark]

Cheers for the singles, twos etc. to square leg.

 

[Mike5181]

Go Go Watson. Prove the doubters.

 

[GIMH]

Get a wicket FFS

 

[TumTum]

Chappel isn't very happy with Healy.

 

[pasag]

This Watto innings is similar to his first ton (link). Hopefully he has less issues in the 90s than that match.

 

[Spark]

Creamed that one at the fielder.

 

[Spark]

Oh, shoooooott

 

[Jayzamann]

Oh that was spiffy.

ed: and Finn bowls dross in succession again

 

[Jono]

Twatto does it again!

Brilliant batting.

 

[Noble One]

Wonderful cover driving.

 

[Spark]

Into the nineties.

Here we go...

 

[Spark]

Hmm, fail from Finn

 

[TumTum]

Can't believe Finn is the leading wicket taker

 

[Spark]

46 runs in the first hour for no wickets. Near-perfect IMO.

 

[Jayzamann]

Can't believe Finn is the leading wicket taker

Feel for Anderson. Easily the best bowler but it hasn't shown up in the wickets column yet.

 

[Jacknife]

Finn really does remind me of Broad when he first started playing test cricket , with going for runs yet picking up wickets. If Broad hadn't of got injured, i reckon they would have dropped Finn and brought Tremlett in.

 

[Spark]

Broad is such a huge miss at the moment. He's the one I would really be wary of on a pitch like this. Tall, bouncy, fiery and accurate with plenty of weapons.

 

[Jono]

Twatto is one of the best batsman to watch in world cricket really.
