Cricket: Test Cricket

Come get them out dammit so they knock over 5 wickets before the end of day!!!!!!!!!

come on you pommie bastids :D
 
Yup i always said i watch the aussies only :)

I enjoy test cricket when they play because they are the most positive 5 day team in the world :).
 
I was wrong.
England 415/8 (101.2 ov)

They're past 400.

Aussies must be a bit worried.

It's 20/20 cricket
Last 10 ovs 74/1 RR 7.40
 
435 all out.

Aussies in a bit of trouble there I guess at this stage.

All batsmen chipped in with decent runs (except Panesar). Even the twelfth batsmen (extras) did ok with 38:p.

Aussies don't just need a spinner...they need a captain as well.

Ponting is a good player, but poor tactical captain and poor leader and bloody well sulks all the time.
Worst captain in a while. Maybe the first one in a long time not to be Aussie of the Year after he retires*

* For some reason Aussie cricket captain is a job even the ex Pm wishes he had instead and much revered...always guarranteed a Aussie of Yr at some stage over even world leading scientists etc.

cheers

What? Ponting lead them to 2 worldcup victories and a managed a test side that dominated world cricket? Sure he took over from Waugh but his still my number one pic as a captain.
 
I am not sure about that ozzie, ricky has the unfortunate task of captaining the Aussies in a time of talent crisis and has been a great captain for many years but he has major talent problems too contend with.

Had he had the talent of the old aussies at his disposal they would be mauling everyone as usual. You can be the best captain in the history of cricket but if you don't have the talent too back it up you will fail.
