if he did outwit us,

surely he could have got rid of our tail ( 1 wicket ) end in the last hour.

he's not good,

i'm with geoff thompson on this.

i quote. ' crap'

Happened twice to you in the Caribbean. Kettle, pot, etc.

Whats that got to do with Ponting? If he did "outwit" us where was the one wicket?

 

[John Wayne]

Yeah, and we got on with it. I suggest you do the same and stop whinging.

I don't know what you're on about. Who has been having a whinge?

Just saying that it can happen. A docile pitch that took it the distance. We did bloody marvellously taking 19 wickets.

but what has that to do with ricky ?

Ponting side took 19 wickets, Strauss' took 6 in a similar amount of overs. Our last two test captains were born in outh Africa, which is the big shame.

The Aussies had a rubbish spinner who took far more wickets than our two, on a wicket supposed to "turn square" by day 3.

We were humiliated but got away with a draw. Bowling wise there is not much difference, but we are well behind when it come to batting. If Lee is back next test it will be a struggle. It is hard to be support of the ECB's team the way they treat some counties.

[allblues09]

I love it. It is great to see people passionate and worked up about cricket!

Yesterday morning you deliberately slowed the over-rate down when Haddin and North were in control.

I think your negative, slow-go tactics throughout the game were shambolic. How about the match referee intervene when the physio came on, patted Anderson on the arm and then walked off?

we played at around 10 %, and scraped a draw !

think on.
