I just love the way when Aus doesn't hit 600 everyone starts bagging 'em, wondering how they are going to go, then the other blokes go in full of froth and bubble, and show us all that maybe the batting wasn't that easy after all.
Happens all the time.
And by the way.... they did lose the ashes by TWO RUNS when you get fair dinkum about analysing the series.
Cheers,

Midge, mate, you are dreaming if you think there was only 2 runs between us and them. :rolleyes:Quote:

I did notice today that when Warne was tiring and Ponting took the risk to bring Bret Lee back in Symonds was left to keep on fielding. I would have thought if he is there as an allrounder he should have been given a few overs at least. I wonder why not?
All this time the guy I have felt most for is Stuart McGill. He has been great every time he played but is normally dropped if Warne is fit. Very rarely they get to play together but they work well together when they do. Actually in England Warne was our most successful bowler why not play another like him.
Anyway plenty of cricket left to play in what has been a really good match so far. I think Australia have a tiny advantage at stumps day two but there is plenty of cricket to play and either team can win it.

When I was at the game on Friday I said that 258 was enough - well it was almost enough. Remember, the fat girl has not given the performance yet.:D

Oh dear, Matt "only" got 20.
I remember a time when if an opener got 20 he would be a hero.
But then they didn't have something like the third highest batting average in test history either.
Another one for you Gumby! :D

Can you guys please give me something to hit !!!;)
I've only heard dribs and drabs on the radio, sounds like a good tight match. They need this to test them after the cushy victories since the Ashes. One thing to come from the English tour is this push to have an all rounder, and maybe including players that aren't up to either task.
That said, I like Symonds, he's shown great qualities in the pyjama version, why shouldn't he be given the chance!
Cheers,

How much more of a chance do you want? His top score from 7 Test innings is 24 ! His attitude is pathetic (drunk on the Ashes tour etc). No, he's had plenty. He's not a test class player.Quote:

No need for the third umpire, accept the decision !:DQuote:
