So did Sachin Tendulkar last season and didn't he play unreal.
NUFAN
Y no Afghanistan flag
Bench, the pitch was good for batting on the majority of day 1 but it still offers something pre lunch and with the new ball. Skilled pitch gurus like Burdett, Lyon, NUFAN and Mitchell Jnr could all tell that t wasn't a road and was going to get better for bowlers over the course of the match.
Diddle claimed two important wickets and then didnt bowl brilliantly when he was asked to take on Pattos over too.
On phone, not changing diddle.

Kallis got a standing ovation because he's a great cricketer.

Good to see Les Burdett still getting a mention during this match despite no longer being the curator.

That's because Queenslanders are bogans.
And Victorians are horrible cricketers, but that's another story.

You know, with Pattinson's injury + Hilf & Siddle hardly impressing with the ball and SA probably not throwing away their first 3 wickets away again (and hell, I think Smitteh and Kallis, injury and all, would be disappointed with their dismissals), I'm not very confident 4 sessions is enough. We'll probably fall in a heap and it won't matter, but I wonder when Clarke would declare, if he has the option.
on the other hand, Petersen is due to return to himself, AB sucks nowadays, Rudolph sucks, Kallis is dead and FDP may have fluked it. 35 overs is probably enough

Briony
International Debutant
The problem is if you keep playing him he will eventually make some runs and then it is hard for the selectors to drop him.

if he fails again in perth he'll probably have to be dropped
note: dropped. i'd be pissed if ponting was to retire in response.(either because the selectors have told him there's no way back, ala his ODI retirement, or because he feels it's the right thing to do)
i would like to think the example of rad haddin, who has played on and who is still very much a chance of playing again for aus (or at least being picked in the 16-17 man ashes squad). would inspire ponting to play for at least the rest of the shield summer. obviously if he was to make 7 ducks in a row for tassie, ok you're not playing another test. but a couple of tons and he could justify a spot on the ashes, albeit possibly just a reverse. i mean, ****, it's either him or callum ferguson.
