3rd Ashes Test - WACA

[lion heart]

Could be waaaaaaaaaaay off but can feel a big Ponting innings coming up here ........ or is the heart overtaking the head ?

Gradually improving since his duck in Adelaide, could make 15 this innings

Good call

[Interceptor]

PJ Hughes c Collingwood b Finn 12 (31b 1x4 0x6) SR: 38.70

Had to get that from cricinfo because Nein having their freakin news on

[Adelaide Hawk]

Wanted: 1 player to bat No.3 for for Australia. Needed urgently, current player has had it.

[Jim05]

Ponting gone. And hopefully for the series. Cant keep carrying a number 3. If he wasnt captain he would have been dropped 6 months ago.
He has to bite the bullet and bat at 5 or 6 or say goodbye

[spell_check]

Yeah, I don't want to see Punter go so a move down the order surely should happen; I can't understand why he isn't at 5 or 6 already.

....... and a number 4 who knows how to leave a ball outside the off stump would be handy as well.

I hope your wrong but i think youre right

[NFC]

Clarke needs to go. Not saying he needs to go forever, but he needs to be dropped.

[dedja]

no point dropping players if there's no-one coming through the ranks that deserve their place.

How about the leading run scorer in SS this season?

[Jim05]

Khawaja is a must next match. Got to pick guys in form, i dont care which batsmen makes way just get him in.
Id like to know how many times over the last 12 months australia has got to 100 with less than 3 wickets down. Wouldnt be many

[dedja]

Punter is obviously not taking enough Swisse ...

But by playing on and on and on and on, He can bank the money in his Swiss banking account

[bayman]

well they are going down swingin' so at least they are not playing for a draw

[dedja]

So he likes Abba as well?

[Jim05]

The pitch is offering some assistance so how many runs do you think we need to defend?
I still think we need to be 370 up to have a shot but am hearing plenty reckon we can defend 220

my opinion only, i'd think we'd need at least a 300 lead & probably 60 runs more than that....what do the cricket gurus think ?

[Adelaide Hawk]

That umpire must have been asleep. Watson was almost past the stumps ... and the commentators say he just got home

[stampy]

bat till at least teatime tomorrow if we can hold out that long
