Nicholas mentioned players like Miller, Imran, etc. who were the greatest of their eras and said Kallis has been head and shoulders above the rest in his. Pretty sensible to refuse to compare across eras I'd say. You don't have to look a million miles away to see why.

Oh dear. Nicholas deserves rare praise for the shut down then, by the sound of it.

Surprising bowling change, IMO. C'mon Moobs!

I've never seen Ponting on the field NOT rubbing his hands together, chewing gum, or spitting on his palms.

You can alwyas watch it on the internets.

The Sean · 27-02-2009, 06:57 AM

One solitary run in the past five overs - for those of you watching, is it as hard for the batsmen as it sounds, or are they just being very defensive due to the team's precarious position?

Nah completely agree with it. Johnson can't attack the stumps to RHBs as well as the other two so get them from both ends while the ball's still new.

The ball's only moving a touch. But they haven't got a ball that deserves to go for runs yet, Australia have been bowling so well.

They are both struggling to get bat on ball.Kallis looks very hurried, not comfortable at all.

I am just loving this Cricket. I have to get up at 4:45 for work tomorrow,I'm going to be sleepy, but so worth it. Would love Siddle to get a pole now.

Demolition Man · 27-02-2009, 07:01 AM

Kallis just got a similiar ball to the one that got ponting.
And then some rubbish.......
