I can imagine the selectors after this test..

"A re-match??..Oh Darsh your even dumber than i thought!!.."

 

[saint_marto88]

Well I guess the obvious answer is to move Punter, Clarke and Huss up the order and slot Watson in at 6 ... unless George Bailey will also be a surprise selection as Test skipper.

:lol:

I think it'd be unfair to move Ponting again. I do prefer Watson at 6 than 3 though.

This pitch looks an absolute belter.

Well in Ponting certainly found some consistency again and unlike some other players his career saving knocks have come throughout the series.

 

[hineyrulz]

Yadav having a shocker.

I never saw Geoff Marsh play but from what I've beard he was technically alot more limited than Shaun Marsh but ironically he'll probably go down as the superior batsman

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but punter only needs 37 more runs for 13,000

His 40th century went a little unnoticed as well but both milestones felt like a formality 2-3 years ago

Swampy was a struggler, who worked hard for everything he got unlike his flash Harry son.

I used to love watching Swampy scoring 100 off 140 balls in ODIs. :sarcasm:

This Indian keeper looks very capable with the gloves.

But tubby was such an athlete in the field. Just like David Boon:

"David Boon flying through the air like a bird!"

Tubby was a terrible one day batsman.

Tubby was a terrible one day batsman.

he was taking the shine off the ball

Good partnership brewing here. Punter looks pretty good today. We need runs from the rest of our line up to put us in a good position.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Tubby in the canary yellow, hands on hips at slip chewing gum, one of the great sights in world cricket.

These two looking good for a massive partnership.

tbf 220 was a very good ODI score in those days. 250 was pretty much game over. Swampy was a seriously good ODI batsmen for those times. Until the Lankans targetted the opening overs in 96 60 was considered a good effort in the first 15.

In tests though he was a struggler. Not only didn't score many, he took a long time to make them, so not much turning over the strike. Still has a better average than his son. ;-)

 

[aussies1st]

Marvelous shot through slips.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Yeah, yappy, fair enough about swampy. The game then was about one player being an anchor and the rest of the batsmen scoring quickly around him and marsh did that job very well.

No 1st slip is unforgivable. Sharma is bowling well but as usual far too short. He's got natural bounce that troubles batsmen so he should pitch it up ffs.
