That Ponting mounts rescue missions with the lower order again and again?

Australia are a pathetically soft unit

Given the positions that they have gotten themselves into in both tests, the absolute worst result that they should have achieved in this series is a 1-0 victory

However, it's now odds on that they will bowl utter **** today, collapse in their 4th innings
and be beaten 2-0 with barely a whimper

Sorry to sound defeatist but we've seen it too many times before

Agree. Need some steel, but I'm not sure we have the players coming through who are hardened.

Haha its funny they were in such an incredible position, and just lost it soo bad. I went to bed when we were 0/170 ish. I dont think Watson should be at the top of the order. Its fair enough against weaker opposition when he dominates them and kinda sets the tone (which doesn't really matter in Test cricket) but we need someone who will grit it out and not play a rash shot when the bowling gets tough. Warner is awesome, but opening with him will only make it worse imo. Perhaps Mash & Hughes would be more stable, not really sure.

Kinda sick of losing though lol

HEY GUYS ARE YOU READY FOR THE MJ AND SIDDLE **** FEST?

Cue good performances.

Top_Cat · 19-11-2011, 01:12 AM

Game's too close to predict which way it's going to go with any great confidence but you gotta think the day is set up for Kallis and AB to get a score today.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm still hoping they fail miserably and possibly die of anal cancer.

morgieb · 19-11-2011, 01:40 AM

This is gonna be ugly. Hoping that'll mean some serious changes, though.

Spikey · 19-11-2011, 01:43 AM

at least if lyon ****s it up we've got some decent talent in form back home: click and see

Spikey · 19-11-2011, 01:48 AM

TumTum · 19-11-2011, 01:50 AM

Very impressed with Cummins, he's quickly adjusted to Test matches, bowling in good areas.
