You really are getting old JJ- why go on about the team being old geriatrics? Just makes the rest of the world look stupid if they can beat old men.[/quote]

glad to see you're still preoccuped with every post I make furry -

if you could read, you would see that I was suggesting that the current Australian pitches do little other than artificially pad batsmen's averages.

two of the finest bowlers ever to play the game deserve better...

but you get all precious and defensive and take it the wrong way :crazy:

funny watching those Seth Efricans singing "God save our Queen"

Gosh save our gracious South African's

Not much faith in Harmison.....

Not much faith in Harmison.....

very negative move I thought

does nothing for Harmy's confidence either

 

[The Colonel]

Langer and Hayden throwing the bat about early......

I didn't think he had any.

The minute he steps on a plane in England, his confidence stays behind at the airport and farewells him from the lounge

tonk-a-pom has started early today,

poms going for over 5 runs an over

Geez Hayden has been lucky. Edge through 3rdish slip and now a huge swing and miss.

 

[The Colonel]

Hayden goooooone.....

 

[El Diablo]

Haydud fails yet again

 

[aussies1st]

Hes lucky Martyn retired or he would be gone

I got no idea why the selectors will be afraid to drop Hayden now

Especially if we win this test match

Best thing about Hayden - he's winning me money. First man out @ the tab = easy money.

Just on Harmison though - he still isn't bowling terribly well, but I thought his run-up and action looked a lot more relaxed in his short spell so far. He's losing a bit of speed, but everything looks smoother. I think as he eases into this game he'll use that smoother action to build his speed and confidence. There's f*ck all in the pitch for him though, so ultimately it won't do him much good wickets-wise.

 

[The Colonel]

Steve Harmison picks up Ponting lbw..... that will help his confidence..

2/54

Punter gorrn

 

[aussies1st]

Harmy just got a wicket, hope this doesn't get him back in form.

Hayden was trying to be the flat track bully he is and the ball was moving about. He chased a wide one early in Adelaide to for the same result. If they decide to keep him during the series it shouldn't be any longer than that.....

Aleeeeem Darrrr gets the trigger finger out again.
You can't give that out LBW in Perth. Going over the top I say.
