    Very true. A lovely way to go out knowing your last ball in test cricket got the best batsman of your fierciest foes out. I agree I wished he didn't retire because if he has a good batting World Cup which he might, all of a sudden he will think why have I given up playing test cricket and he...

    What a truly magnificent performance by the lads. So many players played well at crucial times, it is no point in picking individuals because all of them (even Colly with his catch of Ponting) produced at some point. Highlight of the series for me was the first day of the Boxing Day test. I was...

    That was hilarious this morning. Haddin was out. Next Man in was Mitchell Johnson as he walks down the steps massive (ironic) cheering from the barmy army as he walks to the crease they sing his song. He bowls to the left….he bowls to the right….his name is Mitchell Johnson…..his bowling...

    I was just thinking that in a test it is now really really pointless to bowl a no ball or even be close to bowling one, because if you get a wicket with it the chances are the umpire that if a wicket falls and he thinks that you are even close to bowling a no ball he may refer it. Which is what...

    Agree 100% In Ricky Ponting's second innings in the last test, he could have been given out twice LBW (on both occasions, HawkEye said umpire's call clipping the stump, but neither time the umpire gave it, fair enough) but because we are dominating we still got him out at 20. Because we are...

    That really is attrocious cricket. For a spinner to over step is pointless and just sloppy.

    You have actually just missed some fantastic batting by both sides. The Aussie last two wickets put on about 90 in 15 or so overs. With Johnson and Hilfenhaus having a dart and getting away with it quite a bit, but also playing some top shots...and then England in response reaching 98-0 going at...

    He broke down while running into bowl earlier on in the day. Very innocous just running in and he pulled up and hobbled off. He has had a lot of injury problems throughout his career and you can't but help fell for him a bit. Guess that will mean Doug the Rug is back for Sydney.
