None from me. I have faith. The poms should have been in a position to post 500+. This won't happen.

Probably not Grunt. I agree with you .

What's the bet that Hayden comes out and scores a double ton now that I've been slagging him off?

Actually, I hope he does but I fear, to quote you "this won't happen"

What the first day!

If that had happened the second day score should reach 1000

Hayden out Hussey in.

That would then be:

Hussey (WA)
Langer (WA)
Ponting (Else)
Martyn (WA)
Clarke (Else)
Gilchrist (WA)
Katich (WA) claimed!

I wonder where the batting talent lies? Oh, and Healy out of the cmmentary box and Zoeherer in.

I wouldn't worry about the Poms, they'll crack.

[Daddles]

I can't see what you're all worrying about. It's only the Poms we're playing

Why are you complaining about the REAL upset of this whole, bitter experience - they've imported that halfwit Tony Grieg and his moron offsider Richie Derro (or is that Benaud) to do the commentary :eek:

Not only are they painful to listen to, but have you noticed that Greig is even more biased towards the poms than the poms themselves?

Still, we won't have to listen to too much - we'll have the poms beaten by the tea break sunday.

Foxtel is worth the money just because of this.

Foxtel is worth the money just because of this.

Yep yep yep.

"Not having to listen to Tony Grieg?: Priceless"

Foxtel have Brendon Julian and Junior (for this match, last time it was AB) discussing the state of play whenver there's a break. Lunch, drinks etc.

You do get Botham and Mr "Boring" Bob Willis though

Still anything's better than Grieg

[old fart]

If only they could Pi-- Geoff Boycott of as a commentator!

When Gilly dropped that catch he and Michael Slater were commentating

Boycotts comment was "Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of blokes"

I though Bill Lawry was bad enough!!!!

What a pr....!

[Gumby]

Boycott was a prick when playing too. Selfish barstool he was.

[craigb]

Well for most of that session, the Poms were eating our lunch.

I think that there is beginning to be a bit of a question mark over Ponting's captaincy.

Apart from his negative field placings, I never saw that sort of team body language when Tugger was the captain.

Come back Steve, all is forgiven

[Grunt]

All out for 444

They were 2 for 290. Last 8 wickets for a little over 150.

[craigb]

What's Warne got to do to get an LB from Bowden?
There were two tonight that were absolutely plumb but not given.

I hope that BB gets a black mark in the captains reports.

[Tankstand]

Langer out for 31! :mad:

[Gingermick]

Out of interest, when was the last time Australia was forced to follow on?

[Gumby]

I told you blokes. I told you !

They are crapola ! :mad:

[Gingermick]

It's all down to Gillespie's bloody haircut, (or lack therof) and blee(p)'s receding hairline.
