Read in the paper today that Kevin Pietersen's big mouth inspired Andrew Symonds 156 run knock. Pietersen, according to Matt Hayden, made some remark about Symonds lack of success with the bat in the Test arena and then he used it as a catalyst to take the English bowlers apart.

Onya KP.

Watched the highlights of last years Ashes while play was delayed in the South Africa - India Test, seems like a completely different lifetimecompared to now.
KP called Symonds a specialist fieldsman.
When he retires he should become a motivational speaker.
Keep up the good work you South African tool.

How on earth did we lose the urn to this sorry lot?.

We won 2, you won 1. Remember?

Now I remember.
McGrath trod on a ball and Kasprowitz was given out when his hand was off the bat.
So injuries and bad umpiring robbed us.

That's really odd, Pietersen is better than Symonds in every single batting department that could possibly exist. Symonds isn't a test batsman, Pietersen is.

Yeah, because I'm sure no other player has given Symonds stick about his **** record with the bat in tests.

It's just another way for the media to try and break KP so he's not a factor in the CB Series.
Agreed.

Besides, Monty had Symonds on 42.

There were quite a number of lbw decisions not given on both sides. Get over it.
Ha. Right. Because I'm really letting it keep me up at night, right? That zoom was the point going over your head.

Might be putting my hand up for the Greigy here, but imo, Langer will wait till after the match to announce his retirement in order to not take the spotlight away from McGrath and Warne. He was definitely saying goodbye, the way he was waving to the crowd in Melbourne, I reckon.
Worst call, dead set.

I just hope it stretches through to Saturday, so I can pay my respects to the retirees.

I'm really not that sure of Jamie Dalrymple's selection. People describing him as a bowler who is a useful batsmen are wrong. Hes a batter , who bowls off spin. Hes taken 100 odd wickets in 63 first class games at 43 a piece. He will probably play. But I don't expect him to do that much. Hes not a great turner of the ball either.

Can England save this test match? Yes. With Warne McGrath and Langer retiring will they? The way they are playing no.

Heres to hoping that all 3 retiree's go out deserving Winners, and that all three take either a 50, or 5-fer at the least out of the match :)
