[Liddell]

Tony Greig's rock hard watching Ponting struggle here

Poms building pressure....

No Queen Pair (Catchy word, cheers 9) for Ponting.

 

[Danish]

Really can't see why people don't like snicko or why it isn't used in the UDRS. There is a perfect example of how useful it is.

From what I understand the snicko graph is paired up to the footage manually, so the spikes etc don't always accurately matched up.

Basicallly showing a ball going past bat then pad the snicko graph is not matched up well enough that the umpire could be sure what the spike he is looking at is caused by.

You'd think they could get around such a problem though

 

[Marshall_magic]

Punter gone

 

[Timbo]

Ugh. Punter ffs.

 

[beads6]

Time for Clarke to show his captaincy credentials???

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Yet again Ponting fails when the team needs him...

Where the f**k is Steve Waugh or Allan Border when you need them

 

[eagles4eva]

In trouble now...

 

[aussies1st]

Excellent bowling by Swann, thought Ponting was looking good but that earlier straight one suggested this would happen.

I honestly think that is a dumb statement, I am 100% sure Border and Waugh have failed the team in there career.

 

[JJ]

yep, incredibly dumb... Ponting is as tough as they come, and as good as they come

how come you lot bag the hell out of Ponting (an all time great) and when someone suggests Clarke is a little overrated, you get all precious?

 

[Tommy Smith]

Go Swanny!

Is that Graeme Swann or Jim Laker out there today?

 

[beads6]

These two really need to be there at stumps.

 

[eagles4eva]

100 up...

 

[Danish]

Look out for a quick failure from Clarke. This is just the kind of situation that he loves to drop his bundle in.

If we lose another wicket before tea this match is going to be over in a hurry

 

[aussies1st]

Thank God Clarke not run out off that.

Just an observation... For someone who is lauded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time I find him to be piss weak in situations like this

In terms of saving matches he isn't fit to shine Waugh or Border's shoes IMO

 

[eagles4eva]

hard chance that, thankfully he dropped it...

LOL last time I remember Australia being in this situation Clarke made runs, but never mind that you just keep on hating if it makes you feel better.
