    Ponting on a freakin' mission here. Love Punter batting. EDIT: He's only 62 runs short of 11,000 as well!

    Awesome stuff here from Hughes and Ponting. An obvious statement, but we are such a different side when we have a working opening pairing and Ponting scoring runs - makes almost as much difference as the improvement in Johnson and Siddle emergence in place of the injury-restricted Lee and Clark.

    McDonald is clearly the difference. Haven't looked like losing since they brought him in. :p

    Sounds like Morne is bowling better today. Bowling to retain his place surely.

    Jumping the Shark Draft

    Order for rounds 9 and 10 will be announced at the end of round 8. You still need to nominate and wait for players to be accepted, as only players ranked 11 to 31 become available then - if you pick a top ten player, he'll be rejected and you'll have to repick as per previous rounds. Order for...

    Well done JP - as I mentioned earlier, against this bowling, with everything else that's happening, its a great knock for a kid in only his 5th test.

    Where the Windies returned fire with similar tactics as I recall, which Jardine found quite unamusing.

    They employed the tactic in a couple of series didn't they? I'd think there was only one or two actual retirements in Bodyline. Woodfull got up and kept playing didn't he? Oldfield didn't I'd imagine.
