[Ron Burgundy]

I love poms, especially the sound they make when they hit the canvas.

[dedja]

You gotta keep playing now instead of stumps in a couple of over surely?

It will be over in the next 10 mins.

[CoverKing]

It's time to

[dedja]

What's the matter Prior? Run out of nightwatchmen???

As for Mitchell Johnson, he is shameful.
How did a bloke win cricketer of the year one month and then completely
capitulate mentally to become a sad shadow of his former self

Great words written by Rebecca Wilson

MJ is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

[CoverKing]

Mitch and Hilf are bowling so so well at the moment. I think this is the best bowling partnership i have seen in a long long time from any side in world cricket.

The poms talking about POnting asking for an extra half hours play so the game can be over tonight. Shit they give up quickly.

[dedja]

They might as well play the extra 30 mins ... nobody is going to turn up tomorrow to watch.

And it's goodnight from Headingly.

Sleep well Poms ... and Rebecca.

[Jimmy Recard]

great last half hour by the lads!!! cmon aussies!!! **** the poms!!

[wycbloods]

Fancy a test match only lasting possibly 7 sessions. That is bloody terrible by the Poms. Great to see all 4 bowlers have made a significant contribution in this game. All looks well heading into the final and deciding test.

They simply can't drop one of these bowlers for Lee after this performance.

Unchanged into the next test for me.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Wow, fantastic stuff. I went to bed when both openers in and there were about 40-odd on the board. I missed the party!! And how nice was it to discover Mitchell Johnson has 3 poles? Let's hope this is the start of something big.

I notice people have made comment on night watchmen, so here's my 20 cents' worth. IMHO, the night watchman has proven time and again to be a failed and futile exercise. People may point out the odd time it has worked, but it fails at least 95% of the time ... so why bother?

Even if the tail ender survives the evening (a lot of times they don't), they are out early the next day, and all it has achieved is to upset the batting order. Australia did it with Gillespie, and although some people thought it worked, it meant Gilchrist was coming in at 8 with little to follow. Not smart.

And sending out Anderson to protect Prior and Broad is an absolute joke. I can't recall taking such an instant dislike for a player as I have with Broad in this series. What a jerk.

And to the Pommies who boo Ricky Ponting ... you should be booing YOUR number 3, not ours.

Yep, as Mal would testify, I am possibly the biggest supporter of Brett Lee imaginable, but I couldn't justify his selection for this Test, and I certainly couldn't squeeze him into the 5th Test.

Sleep well Poms ... and Rebecca.

Maybe what we need now is for the Aussie cricketers to write an article about Rebecca Wilson's journalistic "talents" .. or lack thereof. I've often wondered how journalists would like it if they became publicly ridiculed, and their integrity questioned. Not very much would be my guess.

Adelaide 98-99, admitedly it dis last 3 overs into the 8th session....

AH, ask Gillespie if he rates nightwatchmen. The nightwatchman position has enabled him to say to, Flipper, Boof, Blewett, Mark Waugh, etc, "So what's your highest test score?"
