Sir Why You Little

Wow!! Both those above catches were amazing...just so quick, as was McGrath's in Adelaide which a mate and i both saw together and reacted in exactly the same way!! Certain words came out in unison.... Anyone see the colour of the Perth wicket today??...Death.

Agree. We were awful last year after Darwin. Yes i know there were other problems but that Top end trip certainly contributed.

Not if this current list and Football Dept get things right. Look at Geelong, in 2001 they were a mess seriously. A lot of this is attitude and careful planning OD. Yes we have a long way to climb but the hand out mentality will always retard growth.

It's not the travel i worry about. But i am concerned about playing football in top end humidity when we play in southern australia for the rest of the season. It is very different and i have only been up there for relaxation. Time will tell, but tthe sooner we can walk away from hand outs the better. Leave that to North, Port, and Footscray...

Perth Humidity is not the same as Darwin or kimberleys.

Which could ruin a season...what is more important as victories will generate $$$

I agree totally. I have spent time in the top end. It's fantastic, but walking from the pool to the fridge can take all day!

Which is exactly why the Darwin game is very dangerous.

Haha!! Bob Hawke taking one for the country. Super effort that!

Well done to Clarke in this game....I was a little worried he had declared too early as the pitch was still batting fine. But he backed his bowlers to do the job. I wish he had beaten Hayden's score though as that 380 against Bangladesh just doesn't sit right. India are a shot duck aern't they....0-4 against the Poms and a similiar result in Australia is now possible. I am still concerned with Warner opening...he could be far more useful at 5th drop IMO. Nice to see a fearsome bowling attack wearing the "Baggy" again.

Haha! WJ...Gold. Write the whole book over the next few months please...

T20 is a cash cow. Test cricket is a test.

Yes it is less interesting than the NAB Cup & that is saying something. But it is not for me...it is aimed at kids, but i am concerned when Test players are exposed to it. It is a completely different game.

HaHa!! Imagine those same indian bookies the day before when Australia was 4-27...! Odds on they would have been damaging the doulton quite a few times Classic Test Match..

Yes i watched that last night...Hicks is one of the Greats....Top Class Doco

Great...i LOVE Westerns

2 words Peter Siddle. That 60 runs this morning was GOLD. 9 Down.....Bang that last nail in the coffin Australia.

So much for that dream!!!

Cracking Test match. One more partnership to rest the bowlers. C'mon!!! Peter Siddle become an MCG Hero.

Yes Cowan played the old style opener today. Thank god he did. Brilliant job, he was a rock. Must also say Haddin played well right when it was needed, albeit lucky DRS was not there! Bowlers will be ripping to get stuck in hopefully after lunch.

Take another look at the shot he played...First ball day one....it was a total shocker...he may have got a rough decision but he almost deserved it. Time to hit the Commentary Box M. Cricket.

With 70,000 people making noise the Ump made a hard call. He doesn't get 9 replays in slo mo. harsh call but that is cricket. Haddin is still there.

Agree. Haddin would have been out if the DRS was in place. Hussey 3 Golden Quacks in his last 8 innings.

Hussey out first ball. Suprised? Nope.

That 's the one!!
