His form has been horrible this summer. Can't knock that double century of course but he has really struggled this year? Too much cricket or is time just starting to pass him by?

I think Pontings struggles against the short pitch bowling against bowlers who while being fast are not any quicker than he has faced before maybe a sign the end is nigh, unless of course he can do a Steve or Mark Waugh and find a way to make a career out of not playing the pull shot.

He did alright with the short pitch balls to make 200.
I say keep having a crack at them Punter.

Pakis to spoil the Australia Day party for the Aussies.
Despite a Shiitful captain, the team has too much talent Not to win at least 1 game on the tour.
Boom Boom Afridi is the ONLY player, playing on his HOME ground this match. :shock: :shock:

I refer to him as "South Australia's own" Shahid Afridi. It's quite obvious we taught him everything he knows about the game :roll:

He sure did. But you have to suggest that he isn't dining out on his bread and butter as often as he has in past seasons. Some of the dismissals he has coughed up this year just wouldn't have happened in previous seasons.

Ricky Ponting won the toss and the Aussies have chosen to have a bat first...
