i hope you're joking! he'd make the english side with either his batting and bowling abilities alone.

for some reason so can ashley giles.

anyway, good test match it seems. i was listening to it for a while on the radio and there was kallis praise all round. south africa have a solid four batsmen still to come, and with kallis and AB already establihed, they should be looking to a 400ish total.

yayy...aussie gonna win...i hope

i cant believe that qld made 900 runs...thats crazy...like there were 2 centuries and 2 double centuries...they did awesome

hopefully South africa wont follow their lead and smash a huge score...only aussie can since they seem to be doing pretty good...leading by 311...yayy

Queensland vs Victoria turned into the most boring match ever.


Australia 4/307 (dec.)

Hayden 102
Ponting 116 -- centuries in both innings to bring up 30th career ton, congratulations!
Gilchrist 24 (9) -- including 22 off one over from Nel .. 4, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4

Binga missed out on his hattrick, Smith was too pussy to face.

South Africa need 410 to win .. 0/6 after 1 over.

Anyone keeping up?

Minimum 10 overs left, AUS need one wicket, Ntini and Boucher at the crease (same pair who won the world record one dayer)

india beat england - weird match tho,. harbajhan top scored 37 and 5/34 motm. tendulkar didnt play?

Yeah, keyhole surgery on his shoulder in London. Will be out for about 3 months.

I think there is also a "need a break from the bad run" related illness. He needs to go out on a high and on his own grounds.

 

[timprice]

great win for the aussies. ponting is a genius, 30 test centuries with a good 5/6 years to go for him. he'll definitely be remembered as one of australia's all time great batsmen. in my opinion he's our best since bradman.

tendulkar has a shoulder injury.

 

[Minai]

I think he can chase down Tendulkar (he's got the most tons right?) for the record, I reckon he'll last longer than Tendulkar anyway

 

[DRAGONZ]

Tendulkar is on 35 Test centuries, from memory.

I think Ponting will go past that in the upcoming Ashes series.

 

[p-unit]

tendulkar should now retire
he not to fit
the indian match was shit

 

[Huratio]

Tendulkar is on 35 Test centuries, from memory.

I think Ponting will go past that in the upcoming Ashes series.

needs 3 to overtake steve waugh =O

 

[timprice]

ponting is pretty amazing. already 4 centuries this year from only 3 matches. he's got a tour of bangers coming up and they are the only country he is yet to score a ton against so he's due against them. he has the third most centuries of ucrrent players with only tendulkar and lara ahead of him. i believe he'll take over both of them. he's younger than both and peak form for batsmen usually comes at 33/34. we also must praise hayden for 26 tons from just 81 tests...he has probably beent he most consistent batsman of the last 5 or 6 years despite that rough ashes patch.

smith is out of the last test with a finger injury...what a pussy!

but australia tend to play more test matches than india, all in the name of money. so that needs to be taken into account. u got it all wrong:

For 100s Mts Aus Eng RSA WI NZ Ind Pak SL Zim Ban
SR Tendulkar Ind 35 132 7 6 3 3 3 - 2 7 3 1
SM Gavaskar Ind 34 125 8 4 - 13 2 - 5 2 - -
SR Waugh Aus 32 168 - 10 2 7 2 2 3 3 1 2
BC Lara WI 31 124 9 7 4 - 1 1 2 5 1 1
RT Ponting Aus 30 102 - 5 7 6 2 4 4 1 1 0

lol england really sucj! 32 centuries against them.

 

[Bookie]

Ahahahahahaha, peak at 33/34, your just hoping thats the case for Ricky Ponting. My ass they peak at 33.

 

[Minai]

I remember reading somewhere (cricinfo?) that some research/formula worked out that Hayden is the best batsman for the last 10 years. I dunno how that was worked out though..
