Harmlessons first ball was a grat way to start the series.

Langer playing his shots early.
Harmison off after 2 overs for 24

Bill Lawry just said "Ricky Hayden won the toss and appears to have got it right"
Well Bill,at least he got it right.

Australia off to a flying (albeit very scratchy) start.

So in both forms of the game,averages over 30 with the bat,and basically under 30 with the ball.Not sure he is over rated,to boast all those numbers is fairly impressive.I can see your point though.

Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:20 amOverall, his record is pretty good, but its mainly one or two really good performances, then periods of nothing. He's too inconsistant.

2 very poor decisions, makes me think the draw is a chance now, especially when I see there being only 2 slips and a gully after 10 overs

Yes, and Kym Beazley has just made announcement stating that he is sad to hear that Billy Thorpe has retired from swimming

1/71
Langer 50*
Ponting 0*
If England want to curb Ponting's influence, they need to attack him early, which is when he is most vunerable. Tends to wander after a shot.

Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2006 12:11 pmAccording to the boys on the radio Flintoff not sounding too overrated at the moment ... Also on the Radio sounds as though the Poms have more support than we do!! 
Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2006 12:44 pmyeah heard a massive cheer on the radio and thought we scored a 4 or 6 but Hayden was out
