If so what a career

Maybe, off to have an op, next test series is in October in Dubai vs Pakistan

Already talk of resting him there and having him right for Aussie summer and then Ashes in England.

Will all depend on how is older body recovers from surgery

The finish to this test match
The tension
Better than any other form of cricket

Great finish, great to stick it to that mob. Enjoy beating them more than the Poms. Fantastic to send Smith off as the skipper of a losing side. Absolutely dominated the series and a draw would of been a terrible result as we were probably only outplayed in a handful of sessions over the whole series.

Yep, far better than that teeball crap.
Instead of playing 5 tests we now have to play 3 meaningless hit and giggle games to end the tour

I think perhaps all test series involving countries ranked 1-5 are 5 match series??

cant happen, the schedule is crowded enough as it is.

definitely should be 3 test series though, which has failed to happen recently

Agree but Clarke is very agressive and worse case scenario for us is they fall a wicket or two short


Oops!!!!


Bang on.... only needed 135 overs ;) :lol:

Love this ending to a Kimber article:

In the years to come it will read 24.3 overs, 15 maidens, 32 runs and four wickets. But unless it was written in synovial fluid, tears, bone, tendon and blood, no one will ever understand how good Ryan Harris was today. Whatever is in that knee, I hope they remove it, and get Ryan Harris fit again. Then I hope they show the removed item in a museum and schoolkids are bussed in to see it for years to come.
