    Wottabout poor old Jacques, poor bastard suffers from over success at his first attempt and got sent to Coventry. I bet he could put a post or two in the pet peeves thread. The poor bugger could replace both MArtin and Clarke, although I do have little time for Clarke, he's young and enthusiastic, OK, arrogant, that doesn't hurt at his age.
    Boring signature time again!

    Jacques is out of his depth at test level and the selectors know it.

    So is Clarke.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    We may be four down but Haydo's is out (controversial run-out by the third ump).

    It's the Punter and Gilly show for now.

    That run out decision was woeful. He has to give the batsman the benefit of the doubt and it looked like the bat hit the crease at exactly the same time as the ball hit the stumps. Not out !

    May I respectfully suggest that you have been in the sun too much and your head has gone soggy. Jacques will undoubtably make an impression when he finally makes the test team. Clarke, well I think, he has the ability, but he hasn't really looked like producing it any where near regularly enough.

    If Gilly fires, we'll have the runs in the first few overs, if we lose a few quick wickets, the bangers may be celebrating.

    Gumby,

    I haven't seen the replay, but the bat has to cross the line (not touch it) before the bails are removed.

    That being said, it sounds like a pretty dodgy decision from what I have heard though. Poor 'ol Mat eh?

    I know that Cam but the question is when where the bails off. The pictures from all angles only go in frames and in the last one, his bat was on the line and the ball was hitting the stumps. The next frame showed the bails off and the bat past the line. Too close to be given out in my view. The commentators thought so too.

    Poor Matt, too slow. and it's the second innings so he was trying to make up for his first innings failure as usual. Got to keep that average up eh ?

    No, I think the sun is shining your way actually. Phil made the side and failed. Never looked like getting a score.

    No problem Gumby.

    I just thought I would clarify - as I said, I haven't seen the replays at all.

    It sounds like a pretty clear not out though from what you say.

    Can it be that Gumby is wearing down?

    I can remember a time when any decision that went against the WWF's own Matt Hayden was a good one!

    No , I'm not wearing down Pete, just stating facts as usual

    I see the boys pulled it out of the fire thanks to Ponting (again).

    Now. GET THEM HOME !!!!!!

    There was never any fire. I continue to hold my well-voiced theory that the only way to give the lower order guys some real experience, is to fake the odd top end collapse, and let the bowlers do as they wish for an innings.

    As for Ponting;

    Well there was a time it would have been described as a Captain's knock, but of course that's a term that's reserved for "proper, capable captains" who deserve to be there isn't it?

    On the other hand, if Warne ever makes it to the top, "Captain's knock" could very well come to have an entirely different connotation!

    cheers,

    Matty is good at faking it then and they've been faking middle order collapses for years !

    If 6/93 chasing over 400 is not a fire, remind me not to come over for BBQ sausages at your place.

    I reckon that it just shows how buggered they are.

    I mean, nearly being knocked off by the Bangers :eek: (and if it was for cap'n Punter it would have happened ).

    I know they are well paid, but you don't use an LN chisel to open a paint tin do you?
