yeh hauritz has taken about 14 wickets in 3 years, krejza 13 in two tests...hmmm
but krejza is a very costly bowler..1/200odd...thats shocking figures

They're both shit, australia don't have any good spin bowlers left. The only thing they can do is bring warne out of retirement.

WARNEYYYYYYY
that guy was pro
But i really think australia was heavily dependant on the Warne,McGrath and Gilchrist trio.
Since those guys have gone the team has really been struggling for form

think we're in trouble for the second test?
can't believe hussey! two ducks in a row, not like him at all...

Wasnt a pretty last 10 minutes for Australia, losing Haddin so cheaply
But thats a solid day of batting from the Aussies, about 220 odd, be interesting to see what the end up with for their first innings.

yeh i know, couldnt afford to lose haddin
hopefully pup will add a few more runs, get binga and johnson to bash a few sixes and we can get 330-350

Another 11 wicket haul by Johnson in this test???
I really want to see Lee take a bunch of wickets, he's been under so much pressure as of late (N)

[scumel]

ooh dunno bout that! itd be great to see but 11 wickets, not ur daily average lol
agreed about lee, itd be nice to see him finish off the year on a high. fingers crossed

about 220 odd

220? the match ended 6/280

what? my dad said it was 220ish lol, i didnt see much of the last hours play, i know haddin fell really late in the days play, but yeah..definitely shaping up to be a good test

true, but tbh i don't like it much. i prefered it when austraia were making first innings totals of around 500-600. they need some new batters in there

[scumel]

yeh but u couldnt expect the australian domination to last forever, i think its better when theres an actual challenge from other countries. makes a win worth more

nuh, i definately liked their dominating era much better. stuff competition, we were the kings

MCG test matches arent that high scoring.

LOL at how you guys just posted the current match discussion in 'australia lose' thread again. Thats tells us something.

Overall i dont think both the sides played that great (batting wasnt too great, bowling was too defensive at times, fielding-mckenzie grrrrrrr) nah its still tight so it shud be good.
