The Boxing Day Test 2005

[Gumby]

C'mon guys, if he was an Aussie you'd be lauding him as one of the all time heroes. He was a darn good player with an attitude that went against the grain of the stuff shirts in the MCC. Good on him I reckon. he was a legend.

Right Gumby. How about we form an alliance. You and me against the evil Queenslanders. I'll even admit that Ponting probably doesn't deserve the chances he's getting (but only just )

saftey in numbers well you vics do suffer inferiority complex symtoms especially with sport. Heard a stat the other day but forgot the answer. When was the las time two victorians batted together in a test match (with hodge and warne the last ) and on ponting - when was the last time a state captain lived in a different state? (apart from confusion)

If Redwood is relying on rescue helicopters, he'd better make sure they aren't carrying missiles

Just as a matter of polite interest, what happened to Midge's 'sensible' post about the boxing day test?

Today's the day.

The best part of the Christmas break.

All the work of Xmas is over and the only thing I need to do all day is park myself on the sofa with the ABC on the radio and cricket from th 'G on the box.

What's the weather like in Melbourne?
