I am a big fan of his, but he can frustrate the crap out of you at times with bloody lazy dodgy bowling, and why oh why can't he keep his foot behind the line. This time however, he has stepped up to the mark :D and carried the pressure well.
Collingwood, isn't that a suburb in South Sydney? They play little league I think, cos they aren't good enough for real football. :D
Actually, I think Hayden and Martin should be sent home.
Make Gilly captain and bat Ponting at 6.
Give Hodge a go at 4 and fly Hussey over to open with Langer.
Too harsh? ;)
Sorry I'm orginally from Perth. I became a Doggies member in 2000 just so I could go to the footy with a mate. Kinda like'm now.Quote:
Make up your mind will ya !
Collingwood supporters only have ONE team and HATE everybody else
Everyone who doesn't support the Pies hates them. However, tonight they are playing Carlton. It's a pitty that one of the teams have to win. And it looks like it's going to be Carlton to take home the points.
Send Nathan Buckley over and get rid of Ponting. Bucks can opent the bowling, bat first drop, keep wickets and bring out the drinks. He's a legend. :DQuote:

It reminds of all the series against the Windies when we had a chance and nearly always lost in Adelaide and Perth. Damn I used to hate Curtly because he so good. But it was riveting stuff.
Hope it keeps raining though...
Reality is that we have too much talent both in the team and waiting to worry about the long term.
As far as this series is concerned, our biggest mistake is not playing McGill. He's better than Giles and look what he's doing.
I agree that Magiller should be playing. At least he's got a wrong 'un, unlike Warney. :D
Didn't he used to play for Collingwood?Quote:

The more I watch this team, the more I think our problem starts with P and ends in G. Oh yeah, it's also got ontin in the middle. :rolleyes:
Two or possibly three people have put in in this game.
Warne, Lee and Dizzy (but as a batter ferchrisakes :rolleyes: )
They used to say that they'd walk through a brick wall for Steve Waugh. I can't see them walking through custard for Ponting.
So who is going to be the next Aussie captain?
Gilly or Gilly or perhaps Gilly?
Insert your opinion here. :)
Bucks. :mad:Quote:

PS: Simon jones what snotty nose, top-lip trembling, arrogant little pratt. The blue singlet is an aussie icon mate! Can't wait to see Hayden deliver him a few front foot pullshots.
Excellent suggestion...with Ooh-Aah at first wicket. :cool:Quote:

Gumby you heard its 4 down.!!
Still 4 hours to go though.
I just wish the umpires wouldn't get it wrong as often as they do. I think the umpiring has been below par for the entire series.
Don't get me wrong, England deserve to win this test, I just wish they did by themselves.
Its 1am and their 5-251, I have to be at work in the morning and I cant go to sleep.
I was going to post a few hours ago and say we'll resist the Brits.
A sign of a great side is the ability to win when your playing below par. We wont win but I believe we wont lose this match.
Fingers crossed.
Unbelievable test match.
Match drawn. 9/371. McGrath & Lee had to bat 4 overs.
O.K. I take it all back about Ponting.
A true Captain's knock. Well done Punter. :)
Well done the Poms too, they had by far the best of this match and probably should have won it, truth be told.
I still reckon there needs to be some team changes though.
What is the point of perservering with Hayden? He's lost the plot.
Similarly, Katich must be under pressure from Symonds and Dizzy should not be picked for the next game, his efforts with the bat in the first innings not withstanding.
Who do they have that can play as an opener with Langer though seeing they left Hussey at home?
I recon it was Fixed!
Move Martin up maybe? I would have said Gilly but he is playing shocking cricket at the moment. They'd have to consider bringing Symonds in, wouldn't they? Get rid of Katich and Dizzy, bring on Symonds and give Kasper another go.
If they drop Hayden, Hodge will come in and probably open.
I think they will give Katich another go.
The selectors tend to make it very hard to get into the Australian team and equally hard to get out. Especially if the player have had past success. It's been 15 test matches since Hayden had a century. Maybe it's time for him. I don't want the selectors to do another Mark Taylor.
Me either! :eek:Quote:

Right now as a card carrying South Aussie I am feeling a bit sorry for Boof Lehman who was dropped out when Clarke came along. I reckon Boof would be a real asset to this team right now. May not be the shiniest thing going but he is a good bat and a useful Leggie when called on too. He has a ton of experience in England. They should have given him this tour.
What about Stuart McGill. Spinners are doing allright. What's the problem with having him alongside Warne?
Most of all I reckon the batsmen have to be told to put a price on their wickets. They might have got away with bashing everything for a long time but the Poms are bowling too well now for that.
Anyway 10 days now to practise and work it out and come out for another really good test.
We can't moan because all this time we have wanted to see a good test match and we have had two crackers now. It beats the heck out of watching Australia steamrolling whoever comes along. Gives us something to cheer for and get worked up over.
