[redwood]

[silentC]

Well done Punter!!

[craigb]

100 in each innings in his 100th Test.

Anybody else done that?

[Cliff Rogers]

Good one, I'll go & do some work now.

[silentC]

100 in each innings in his 100th Test.

Anybody else done that?

Not me!!

Apparently the first one in 130 years of the game....

[Wongo]

100 in each innings in his 100th Test.

Anybody else done that?

Not sure but 100 in each innings in his 100th Test in Sydney on Thursday around 4pm. He is definitely the only one.

Sorry just another piece of useless fact.

[redwood]

hodgeys 200 was fantastic, but hes not realy up to it. wouldnt take much to loose his spot never to be seen again

[Gumby]

100 in each innings of the 100th test has never been done before. In fact, of the 7 or so players who have made 100 in their 100th test, only Inzamam got to bat a second time and he made 31 not out.

[redwood]

jaques rudolhp is to spin bowling what criss tarrant is to footy... both masters of their craft

[Grunt]

Hayden out for 90

Like Gumby says, he's a hack.

[redwood]

[redwood]

poor old south africa, not only did they lose bad now poor old botha has been cited for chucking

[Gumby]

Don't get carried away here.
They declared - TWICE !

If they hadn't, we would have been playing for a draw. Also, they lost 2 sessions yesterday due to the weather. Again, if that hadn't happened, they could not have lost and maybe we would have struggled to chase down 450! That kind of pressure changes this dramatically.

Notice how it's the off spinners who are being called for chucking. Thay have to bend and straighten the arm to get enough turn on the ball, unlike the leggies.

Full marks to them I say for at least attempting the win.

2 Nil doesn't reflect the nature of the series. It was much closer than that.

I think we just have to accept that Australia has come back to the field somewhat since the Waugh's retired.

This is not a bad thing either. I don't think I am the only one who was getting a tad sick of one sided contests.
