Sir Why You Little

Correct...but i have have had enough of his PM's in the past to know how he likes to operate. You would have bowled first too would you Spongebob??? Interesting. I was going to jump on here last friday...but knew i would cop a barrage...Shame i should have backed my intuitions!

Don't tell me the position i raised....Warner is a freak..and hopefully will have a long career..His footwork is not textbook, but his Power makes up for any of those short comings...Without Warner we were Shite...but we were even more shite because we chased a 4th innings total. Clarke gave the initiative back to the Kiwis by bowling first..If you do not agree i don't really care. You are not always right Rhino, but always most anti social. Moderator indeed, whoever bestowed that upon you....

Yes Warner Batted Beautifully...nobody else did. That is my issue..This current Batting line up was not going to chase down a 4th innings. Take Warner out of it and we were pathetic. Hughes should have been out last night for 0 (again) but for some bizare reason the Kiwi's did not refer it. Psychology did play a huge part in today..particularly when Ponting was out. Kiwi's smelt it...Good Luck to them. It should have been the other way round...Mr Bingle won the toss. i would have backed our bowlers to do the job today...not the Batsmen. That said it was a fantastic game...Pity there is only 20/20 games on before Boxing day....This ludicrous fixture has left no room for our batsmen to practice, but $$$ do the talking now sadly.

RVP what a legend. Gunners back from the dead.

That is supposed to change my mind is it??The ball was still moving around today so i wouldn't want to chase on it with that batting line up. I have no problem with Warners technique of Brute Force, it is unique but it aint for every player. Thank Christ he was there today. Say what you like but NZ were in the box seat after the toss if you looked closely at the long rrange weather predictions.

That's your answer is it??? Not the fact the Kiwi's were actually leading on the first innings..... Fair enough.

45 they put the score on the board. 150 on day 1 was a good score because we only managed 136 when it was our turn. Puts the kiwis ahead in my book. Without Warners superb knock we were thrashed. Even Steve Waugh and Mark Taylors sides struggled to chase a 4th innings target many times.

We disagree again Moderator...You discount psychology...Batting a fourth innings is never the best time to Bat. Ross Taylor said it after day 1...."We made 150, we are still in this Game" He was right.

It is not a contradiction at all, it is about a pitch that was never going to dry out and Batting on it in a 4th innings was always going to be the dangerous part, particularly with a Batting line up that was too old or sadly out of form....Dave Warner the exception.Clarke should have backed himself and his Batsmen to get a score on Day 1 minus Daniel Vettori...the 5 day weather forecast told him that. Our Bowlers did an exceptional job but that Batting line up was to dodgy for a fourth innings chase.

It is actually very dangerous to choose to bat in a 4th innings when it was obvious the match would never last 5 days. A dodgy opener and Ponting and Hussey both past it. Now lets hope some serious selection changes are finally made. We got rolled by a New Zealand side minus Vettori. 150 was a good score on day 1 on that Billiard table. It still had life in it today. Win the Toss.....Bat particularly with an inexperienced and aged line up. Good onya Kiwi's enjoy your winnings.

Khawaja should open with Warner on Boxing Day. Yes he has not made a stack of runs and his technique is still dodgy, but he values his wicket. His technique will improve with that attitude. Warner has little technique, he has brute strength and power. If he can stay in long enough to get his eye in, look out. Without Warner today we would have been bowled out very cheaply. It's dangerous to bat in the fourth innings.

Clutterbuck will be a commentators nightmare!! Heat of the battle quick play you wait. As long as he goes to a club i will smile...

Hughes is so Lucky he has a NSW Passport. How many times is a man allowed to go out playing the same shot? If Hughes was a Victorian he would have already completed an apprenticeship and started a new career, post Cricket!

Ch. 9 coverage is like one big advertisement. I cannot watch it anymore. The 12th man CD's are more informative. Thank goodness for ABC 774 where cricket is still the major reason for being there.

Only when i need to. It's not something i worry about TBH. This is a discussion board, not a literary course.keep grinding your teeth 45!!

Stay away from 20/20. It's the cheap Take Away rather than a good Restaurant. Look at Most Topline Batsmen today, they haven't got a clue how to dig in and see a bowler off. Yes it pulls a theatre crowd, but it has little style IMO.

Ran himself out....Critical Brain Fade....Given the Australians a chance again....That Partnership was faultless all morning before that.

Jenny Craig is a shocking scam, just terrible!!

Hahaha!!

Cookies (chocolate ripple) & cream in a cup is a sublime experience. Screw the calories i say...!

FFS Ponting retire. Your reflexes are gone. Dam Gold contracts. Worst thing cricket Australia ever introduced. Time to go home to Tasmania Ricky. Said it for 2 years.

I haven't given "bigger Bang" much of a listen TBH I find it a little hard to listen to the older Stones. They were just so good in their younger days. After Tattoo You what else could they do? But I will look up Rain and have a listen. Percy Beames was brilliant my dad tells me..

WYL 2.1 How Good is this.....

these are the Tweets I like to read.

"why you little!!" "But Henry I tried to warn you" Hahaha what a classic.
