Spot on. The WACA of old. Great bowling by Johnson. 2 wickets and 2 retired hurt.

There's one for ya spelly. When did a bowler last be the cause of two batsmen retiring hurt in an innings? Do we have to go back to the Windies?


Probably, but I can say for certain that five Indian batsmen were absent/retired hurt in 1976 in an innings against them.

Yeah, blood on the pitch ! Smash 'em Mitch !!

The sound of ball hitting skull and seeing blood on the pitch was music to my ears.

Quote - Jeff Thomson. from his book, bowling in tandem with Lenny Pascoe for Bankstown in grade cricket.

That attack would scare most test openers, let alone a young up and comer trying out for grade cricket LMAO.

Vikas: "I go with Ben. One swallow doesnt make a summer. For me a true No. 1 team is one which can take 20 wickets on pitches like Antigua, Barbados and Karachi. I bet you McGrath, Warne and co. would have done that. This Australian team is yet to prove that. It is just the conditions making them look like heroes. I remember Sreesanth being celebrated when he won a test match for us in SA. Where is he now? So Johnson and Co. have a long way to go .."

That was from Cricinfo commentary, one of the various e-mails posted on there.

A true no.1 team? How many games on those pitches ever get 20 wickets to fall at all? Methinks there are a lot of jealous people out there that we are still able to go so well with an inexperienced team.

There's another question; what happened to the Foxtel commentators such as Thommo?
