Actually, would have thought that snicko would have been used in that situation.

Said on the radio Ruddy has made Lara an honorary OAM. Kerry O'Keeffe opined it was for "Services to nighclubs".

That is the rules aussie, it has to be conclusive enough for the umpires to change their mind. Fact.

Haa well if thats not conclusive enough that Johnson didn't touch it, by seeing replays from a few angles & hot spot. They might as well go back to letting the on field umpires make all the decisions. Thats crap.

Who is JT?

North's so under-appreciated. Three centuries and a score of 96 in his first 7 matches and some people are still saying he shouldn't be in the team.

His hundred on debut was something seriously special.

I haven't been hanging around CC until very recently, but are people really saying that? He's already invaluable to Australia's batting order. One of my favourite players going around.

Yeah, there were a few people saying 'he only makes runs when there's no pressure/it doesn't count' during The Ashes. Absolute rubbish.

Aye.

Agreed

I like Watson as much as most people but unless he's picked as a 4/5 or maybe 6, he's simply not the best option

Personally, I'd have dropped North (tough call but I dont think he's a long termer), played Watson at 4, Clarke 5, Hussey 6 (good form, class player and bats well with the lower order) and opened with either Rogers or Jaques

I'd also drop Hilf because I dont think he'll cut it long term but will be surprised if he lasts the season anyway

Not many of them mind, but the fact that everyone isn't in awe of how good he's been makes him underrated anyway.

I'm really enjoying watching Hauritz bat here.

Very reasonable for a #9.

 

[Burgey]

Shot! Haurrie to ton up

Edit: Norfy gone for 79 .

Hope Haurrie's not stranded here.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Bloody hell North!

Only makes runs when there's no pressure.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

FFS get out

 

[Burgey]

More visiting team Gabba agony.

Ashish Nehra would be enjoying his mantle as "Worst Fieldsman in the World" being stolen by Benn. He's ****ing horrible.

Think Farhat is just in the middle of taking down that title tbh.

 

[Ausage]

50 for Haurrie. Awesome

 

[Son Of Coco]

Good declaration by Ponting. Looking forward to seeing how the Aussies bowl before I go to work.

 

[Pothas]

Gayle to go crazy, got a feeling he is going to come good today

Will probably be out now of course.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Brilliant catch by Haddin. Pity it was a no ball...

Interesting to see Ponting go with Siddle and Hilfenhaus first up, although my guess us it's because they want to put pressure on them by getting as many as they can in the right spot from the start. Mitch can come on later and settle in to a length (hopefully).

Gayle's technique is certainly different on some of his defensive shots, just drops the hands.

Hilf bowling short? Nevers

Hilf bowling short? Nevers

Shame is that he'll take up a couple of tests on good bowling wickets before they drop him and his replacement will have to come in on a road like Adelaide
