He is due a score, time to stand up Mr Martyn - I will be happy with Ponting either way - his peformances in this series has given us this chance.
Thank f*** for baggygreen - I am at work :(

Yes the run rate steadily is going up, Ponting can accelerate but can Martyn - Lets hope so.

Bowden again made a great decision :roll:

Yeh he is a good ump isn't he?

Yeah, just ask Anil Kumble.
All bowlers will tell you the umps wrong...unless they rule in their favour that is. LOL.

So when Martyn was plum you agreed with Bowdens decision? :?
I didn't see it,The thing is umpires in any sport get some right and they get some wrong. Bowden is no better or worse than anyone else in that regard, and LBW decissions are probably the hardest of all to rule on, so many variables. I mean the Steve Bucknor at the other end couldn't rule on one the other day because the bowler got in his way, how do we know something similar didn't happened in this case? we aren't there in front of the wicket so how do we know he was plum? Not an easy job.

Well if you saw it you'd be wondering how he didn't give it out.

I doubt Australia are playing for a win, unless they suddenly have a go from here on. At the moment they look to be playing for a draw.
