***Official*** VB Series 2006

[Nate]

IMO, it`s worth nothing what a batsman-dominated series this has been. Only four bowlers have really kept their figures respectable. Pollock was amazing.

Murali is 2nd worst, Blignaut got hit for 96 in 9 overs, not sure if that was a 50/50 over game though

99 > 96

 

[aussie]

his team batted first, so was hard to judge. Ponting is the captain of the best team in the world, and as such should be a leader in fairplay and sportsmanship.

It was ridiculous that they did not go to 3rd umpire.

well that aint Ponting's fault, blame the umpirres...

 

[aussie]

all this talk about Ponting should of walked and whatever, Jayawardene has actually apologised for a catch that he didn't take cleanly http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,8659,18126546-23212,00.html

Did anyone else do a when Symonds jabbed that bloke in the crowd with his bat?

Yeah one of my friends mentioned that. Didnt see it myself, though.

How good is Ricky Ponting! In any form of the game - in any situation - he's unmatchable.

Except Symonds scored 27 more runs off the same number of balls faced...

Case closed.

Ponting's actions today just weren't on. If a fielder claims to have taken a legitimate catch, then who the feck is he to just not believe him? It shows remarkable arrogance from a man I used to respect until recently.

Good knock from him and Symonds though.

That hasnt got much to do with how good he is....

Why should he walk for a catch that in his mind definitely bounced? If he's not sure he should wait for the umpire to give him out, the umpire didn't give him out and rightly so. Play goes on and Punter makes a century.

The only person who's actions weren't on where Jaywardene's for claiming a catch that bounced. Mahela apologised and the apology was accepted. Case closed.

I was speaking in general terms.

One of the spectators had a little too much to drink, came up to give Symonds a hug by the looks of things and Symonds poked him away with his bat. Security should be stopping something like this.

Not even Kallis can match him?

A catch that he didn't know bounced you mean?

Whatever, the hyperbole is still ridiculous. We don't need a CW version of Mark Nicholas.

Dead heat

He's a good bloke, though
