3rd Ashes Test - WACA

[The Cadet]

The entire 5 days of this test is a sellout

No one told the curator that

[Baron Greenback]

Changes for Australia

Out
North
Katich
Doherty
Bollinger

In
Smith
Johnson
Hilfenhaus
Hughes

Beer running the drinks

Beer would be my choice for the drinks aswell.

Why bring him into the squad, tell him he's going to play and have all this media attention for him, only to drop him an hour before the game. Poor lad.
Australian selectors are handling these matters so poorly at the moment.
Punter better bowl first if he wins the toss and this better be the greenest pitch ever.

Should never have been in the equation in the first place, was the spot for sale on ebay, did he "buy it now"?

[Dutchy]

Much better team, good to see Smith in there, should have been there all series

[NFC]

DISGRACE that Johnson is playing.

The guy is beyond pathetic in Brisbane, gets dropped, doesn't play a game, then comes back into our team as a potential saviour. LOL!!!

[Brodlach]

Hughes out bowled for 2

[Jim05]

Should be more tests in perth. Love getting home in time to watch last session

[Brodlach]

After 2 overs 1 for 2

Well done selectors, pick a bloke out of form get what you deserve. FFS sack these spastic selectors.

agreed

Hughes out bowled for 2

Well done Aussie selectors, pick an out of form opener, who when the 1st ball is actually pitched on line with the stumps, plays straight across line to the on-side and no surprise to see the stumps shatter.

[Brodlach]

Hughes was only in for a short time but looked really ordinary and uncomfortable

[Lightning McQueen]

Tremlett to Ponting. Three slops, two gullies and a short leg in catching positions

[carey]

Tremlett to Ponting. Three slops, two gullies and a short leg in catching positions

And the ball flies through about 4th slip area at head height

[Brodlach]

Watson dropped by Strauss at first slip.....very very difficult chance high above his head

[Brodlach]

Ponting Gone for 12....world class diving catch at third slip
