He doesn’t appeal to me.

but then, most dismissals look inelegant.1:49pm: It’s fair to say Faf du Plessis will never forget his first ball in Test cricket. The leggie sends down an absolute pie and Warner thinks all his Christmases have come at once as he lifts it a long way over the rope. They can’t even find the ball. “Dear oh dear, talk about fruit,” says Jim Maxwell

I’d rather be caught in the covers off a slashing drive than be bowled anytime :)

no room for bears at the oval… it’s mid construction, only letting 17 thousand in, I think..
warner keeps putting balls into the construction zone too … bastard .. $200 a pop they are.
>>it’s mid construction,
That’s great, are they pulling down some concrete grand stands and putting in grassed areas with nice shady Moreton Bay Figs?

Plenty of MBFs around the oval, but no they’re pulling down the lovely northern bradman stand and the shitty western horrible monstrosities and replacing them with boat sails. or something ..
Herbert Ponting was a fine Antarctic photographer who accompanied some of the most important early expeditions.

My very good friend the Funeral Director is not a man of words. Don’t get me wrong, the voice is rich and cultured and the mind behind the eye quick and willing, but there’s no capacity for the floral in his tongue. He, that is, my friend the Funeral Director, would assess the Ponting thus:
Get me tape measure.
>Get me tape measure.
After today’s effort, I suspect they are already digging the hole.
I don’t think we’ve got enough.
I wonder if the late Ricky Ponting will get out gangnam style in the second innings too.
mr warming man,,are you still Bayside?
>>mr warming man,,are you still Bayside?
Aye.
Looks like we’ll be sharing a suburb. Not sure if its big enough for both of us.
First beer is on you.

OK, when do you get your visa and tick gate pass?
I’ll lob Sunday week.. Give me a day or so to get sick of the inlaws :)

Well when you’ve settled in and told the people at work and the inlaws how it’s going be we’ll see about getting some of the locals together for a drink.
To win a test match you need to get 20 wickets, South Africa have got 10, they are half way there, we have got none.

Very difficult for bowlers to get wickets on a road in the middle of a postage stamp.

Glorious.. I’m a bit of a fan of the local RSL too. Might join :)
The Demon Monty has struck in the India v England test.
He has a brace of wickets, Tendulka & Sehwag.
There must be some mistake.
this cricket team will self destruct in 10… 9…
Ricky Ponting expected to announce his retirement today, at the end of the Perth test match.
comfirmed.
radio just crossed live to the presser.
Good on him. He was probably Australia’s second best batsman and it’s nice to see him go out on his own terms rather than being pushed.

Ponting’s in the squad.
Australia squad: Michael Clarke (capt), David Warner, Ed Cowan, Shane Watson, Ricky Ponting, Mike Hussey, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, John Hastings (12th man to be named).
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-11-29/siddle-and-hilfenhaus-rested-for-third-test/4399214
I don’t like Siddle and Hilfy being left out of the squad if they are just tired rather than actually injured. I got a bad feeling about this.

With those names the batting line up should be
Warner, Cowan, Clarke, Ponting, Hussey, Watson, Wade, Johnson …

Fair enough.
Match Fitness may be why both fast bowlers were dropped.
