Ponting is a god and Hussey isnt too far behind him!!

Looking unstoppable at the moment....i expect them to declare around 550....or after ponting reaches 200!

They will bat out the second day if they can.... 3 days shoudl be enough to bowl england out twice.... - we could have 700 by the end of the day!

Bugger - Hussey is out

 

[wall4ace]

yeah straight through him like a late night curry...#-o

 

[JZA]

good thing freddy is their only decent bowler at the moment, other wise we might have a contest on our hands!

 

[Dream34]

Picked up some tickets to the day 3 innings. Pretty pumped

 

[wall4ace]

punter on 196.come on mate..hit hogwart for 4

 

[wall4ace]

bugger..

 

[JZA]

punter out on 196...bloody shame he didnt go the double ton, brilliant innings though!

 

[JZA]

jesus, now Gilchrist out for a duck!

 

[nvd001]

i'd be worried if we weren't on 468 runs!!

 

[gemz23]

it seems gilly still dont know how to play swing bowling specially if bowled on the other side of the wicket. i hope he trys to learn to bat right handed coz right now his form against quality swing bowlers is terrible.

great start to day one and ponting becomes the equal record holder for most centuries by an Aussie. Only 32 years of age, how much longer can he go on and obviously the pressures of being captain aren't effecting his batting

HAT TRICK COMING FOR McGRATH!

OOOH AHH GLENN MCGRATH!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cliffy21]

LMAO yeah a hat trick coming up! *wishes hard*

 

[cliffy21]

one more wicket or two for the evening and we will blow them outta the Gabba!

 

[TCAC]

Peterson's looking in good form, but an innings defeat is on the cards :smt030

 

[mattyj]

Yes!! Cop that ya filthy poms!! 5/79! Chasing 600

C'MON AUSSIE, COME ON, COME ON!

 

[cliffy21]

interesting! we are batting again which is strange to me. We should be putting them straight back in.

same here i thought were going for the kill but it seems ponting's decision can really hurt australia on the next test match. by giving england to redeem themselves on their bowling and get a few quick wickets it boost their confidence going thru the next test match which is not the best thing to do atm.
