ML Hayden, PA Jaques, *RT Ponting, MEK Hussey, MJ Clarke,
+AC Gilchrist, SK Warne, B Lee, JN Gillespie, DJ Cullen,
SCG MacGill.

Wow! Martyn dropped, Clark dropped, in comes Cullen on debut and Jaques.

When did we last play 3 spinners?

Depends if you count Symonds as a spinner ;-) If not I don't think we ever have.

 

[Timbo]

Martyn reportedly failed a fitness test or he would've played.

Didn't even realise he was injured.

 

[aussies1st]

If anyone should have been dropped it really shoulda been Clarke, Cant believe they would drop Marto. Oh well. lets see what you can do Phil and Mike

Marto deserved to be dropped, Clarke well we only have so many batsmen so unless you wanted Symonds in there then he had to stay.

 

[Twizzle]

Marto has an elbow injury

so if Jaques gets a ton, he's dropped again

Bangers win toss and bat, Bangers 1 wicket for none

Dizzy gets Nafees caught at backward square, ct Lee

 

[aussies1st]

Dizzy you beauty!
What happened to Clark?

 

[Twizzle]

no reason given yet

 

[aussies1st]

Must be a spinning wicket for us to play 3 spinners.

 

[Twizzle]

nice catch from Jaques, I wonder if Trevor Hohns is watching

 

[aussies1st]

Lol it doesn't matter what Hohns thinks hes gone after this series!
BTW wheres he fielding?

 

[Twizzle]

gully

top catch too, dived out and took in in two hands before it hit the ground

Dizzy with 2 wickets

2 for 13

 

[Twizzle]

Dizzy gets no 3,

and Brett Lee having words with Alim Darr about where he wants him to stand

 

[aussies1st]

And to think we had Kasper over Dizzy :roll:

 

[Twizzle]

his first wicket was very lucky and a bad ball down the leg side, but the other two were good bowling

 

[Twizzle]

McGill on after just 12 overs

 

[Red Bear]

An warne as well

 

[Twizzle]

Warnie strikes

4 for 58

 

[Twizzle]

4 for 67 at lunch

Cullen yet to bowl

 

[UndertakerMike]

Ozzies doing pretty well.

Bangers recouvering nicely though.

 

[aussies1st]

Dizzy should be bowling right now not Lee. Poor captaincy from Punter.

 

[aussies1st]

Warne strikes for his 2nd wicket.
