1st Test - Australia v New Zealand Brisbane Dec 1 - Dec 5 2011

[Twizzle]

grip is a bit low but near enough to perfect technique for mine, so well balanced

what can I say, he's a gun

 

[yappy]

Watson at 7 is overkill, but the guy has been averaging low 20s with both bat and ball for us the last year or so. That ain't an opening batsman. His batting will probably improve, but his bowling is for too important to be talking about 4 overs rarely like Chappelli was on about.

smh Watson at 7 :lol:

As for grip on the bat, a low grip has been in fashion for a few years for the young mob coming through the ranks which is in contrast to say Adam Gilchrist who use to hold it from the top of the grip. Nothing wrong being unlike the textbook but Khawaja does everything else by the book

 

[Fast Eddie]

Tendulkar holds the bat low, probably because he has always had ridiculously heavy bats, especially for his size.

Looks like Ryan Harris is out for the summer. Siddle could lead the attack all summer..

 

[Matt23]

Well that's just bone headed

 

[aussies1st]

Oh wtf.

 

[yappy]

good call Rick

Ponting runs Khawaja out

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Yeah!!!! 3 down now!!!!

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Ridiculous call by Ponting.

A run out in a test match is a disgrace, especially when it is the other batsmen going to the danger end.

I am really pissed off with Ponting.

That's a scary, scary thought.

 

[HevyDevy]

These two will win the match for us - mark my words!

The prick better make 200 not out

 

[HevyDevy]

It was an unnecessary run but to be fair, Khawaja should have made it.

No fault with Khawaja. It would have been tight no matter what. And when it is tight, you shouldn't run. Ponting just called without any thought.

Cummins and Hazlewood might have something to say about that.

:sarcasm:

No way. At the very best he needed to dive to make it = bad call.

 

[HevyDevy]

I know it was a bad call, but Khawaja was like a snail for the first half of that run.

Put it this way, Hussey would have made it.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Hussey would have made it based on what? Hussey wasn't there ffs.
