Third Aus vs Pak 14th-18th Jan in Hobart

[NFC]

Will Punter declare at lunch?? Or come back and try and get a ton then declare? I'd go the latter.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Surely Haddin or Johnson should be in now?

[NFC]

Be selfish Punter! Double and century in the same match would be amazing!

He'd be only the 7th player in Test history to do it. Walters was the 1st against the West Indies in 1969-69.

2/200 at lunch

Reckon Ponting will bat for 1/2 hour after lunch and call it quits

Ponting 88*

Hussey 2*

Katich out for 100 today

[NFC]

Yeah, still a heap of time, bat for 30/45 mins after lunch, then have 4.5 sessions, plenty of time.

Carn Punter!

Carn Punter!

Only thing i would be worried about is the Rain that is expected to come today

[NFC]

Well that sucks.

A Pakistan keeper actually takes one.

[locky801]

Ponting is out for 89, caught behind after a lengthy referral

[RoosterMarty]

Very good take by the keeper. Pity Punter couldn't get his ton.

[locky801]

Aust 3/205

[locky801]

Haddin in and throwing the bat straight away

[RoosterMarty]

What a 6.

[locky801]

Haddin runout for 8

[RoosterMarty]

Haddin run out by his fear of getting hit by the ball.

[locky801]

Johnson gone straight away,

Aust 5/219

and Ponting has declared with a lead of 437

[Adelaide Hawk]

Come on Haddin, go for the damned ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[locky801]

Come on Haddin, go for the damned ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That should have been taken

[mal]

Come on Haddin, go for the damned ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder Haddin hasent dropped many catches this summer .....

AH
When a snick bisects the keeper and slip[North] I reckon this should happen
They both go for the catch and collide
Both are at fault but Haddin mainly

AND OFF COURSE GUESS WHO THE UNLUCKY BOWLER WAS
Peter Siddle

Yes, Tony Greig was suggesting the 1st slip was at fault as well, and maybe he was, but it was the keeper's catch, and a 1st slip fielder should never have to dive to the keeper's side to take a catch. Certainly North should have moved, but the blame for the non catch rests with Haddin.
