    Well played Barath. That was all over more clinically and quickly than seemed likely after an hours play today. Windies really need Taylor to be ok and Sarwan to recover - I think they're a batsman short, so I'd be dropping Benn for Sarwan if he's fit. Barath and Dowdin look to be good...

    Interesting call from Ponting. Watson would have liked a chance to get some runs you'd think, although being able to enforce te follow on because you have five bowlers would help his case as well I suppose. Guessing the threatening weather may have had more to do with Ponting's decision than...

    Lol whatever.

    2003 Wisden Cricketer Of The Year - Ricky Ponting

    I've seen Ponting do the same. He hasn't ended up with the records for catches because he's an average slipper.

    2003 Wisden Cricketer Of The Year - Ricky Ponting

    Symonds and Rhodes were his only peers as an overall ring fielder IMO

    2003 Wisden Cricketer Of The Year - Ricky Ponting

    Agree he's overall a good slip who has flashes of brilliance but drops a few too many. You were saying 'far and away the best' however which I would agree with re overall fielding bit not specifically re slips. Dravid, Hayden, and depending on your definition of 'top batsman' Mark Waugh and...

    **** that - I'll just record all of tomorrow's play and fast forward all the ads, bowlers meandering back between deliveries, umpires getting together to compare farts and enjoy the two hours of cricket that actually occurs.

    A.F.L Thread

    Maguire is the sixth player from another club taken on since the end of the season - Fevola, Brent Staker, Amon Buchanan, Andrew Raines and Xavier Clarke, being the others. Of those, Fevola is the only one you'd bank on being the best 22 for more than a couple of years - Buchanan would be, but...

    A lot of people can't watch cos of work/school during the day. Would draw an audience - even if they stuck it on at 10:30pm instead of "Bizarre ER" as they have on tonight.

    So none of the ruckman, Cloke, Pattison, Bryan who nominated got a second shot?

    Voss seems extremely confident Brisbane at right on the verge of a crack at the flag. Definitely trying a different approach to the focus on youth youth youth. If it works, will probably spark a trend, but got the feeling Brisbane might have a disaster of a list in three years time.

    Putting on two and a half hours of Seinfeld tonight on Go instead it seems. Sport probably doesn't fit with the 'chicks/cheesy tv' concept they have for the channel 8-). Might write an email and make some phone calls.

    Is channel 9 doing a highlights pack each night? (seems a forlorn hope, but worth asking?)
