Re: Cricket
Poms would still lose if we gave them 3 innings.
Warney's a genius.
Both Clarke and McGrath are better than any pommy bowler
Lee? Look at his average against the poms (all series) - over 40. Should be rested Tait given a crack.

Re: Cricket
Poms are playing with 10 men. Their 5th bowler is a waste of space. Should have selected a 6th specialist batsman and batted Freddie at 7.

Re: Cricket
Geez you're speaking some garbage.
At 3-261 with Cook in the 100’s and Pietersen batting well, there was a chance for England.
At 5-366 with Pietersen still in and Flintoff going crazy and England just needing another 200 runs over most of the day, again there again was a chance for England. All on a pretty good wicket to boot.
Ponting could have batted another hour or so in that second innings and made a draw the ONLY possible result for England. As it was, he didn’t do that, and that’s bad captaining to be leaving a side a sniff, no matter how small.

Re: Cricket
This is just plain wrong. The best way to get wickets on a flat track is to give the opposition a sniff of victory. They will attack and lose wickets in the process - just like flinstone did today.
IMO punter got it wrong - he declared too late - 500 was heaps. 475 was plenty. 557 was risking a draw.

Re: Cricket
Nup. You're plain wrong because unless you’re in the Pura Cup and each team is looking for bonus points, the first thing you do when you declare is to make sure that you cant lose the match. Especially in this case when you’ve got a 2-0 lead in the Ashes !!! Geezuz !! That’s just a no-brainer and captaincy 101 stuff ! And Ponting did not do this.
