Steve Waugh has come out with a few things to say and it is a concern for Test cricket the way quite a few teams have gone. Never mind the money India has, they have never been a good touring side other than the odd series and their sportsmanship is so poor only the Aussie team of the 00's could...

Ok so that was a total fizzer of a series. From the posting we all seem to have been underwhelmed. The series in NZ should be a cracker on their soil. Yoiu would think NZ will be favourites.

well Burns performed as did Usman. Good luck to them they have settled themselves in now and can look to the future and the real test to come. Sad game, a bit of fight but was going no where. Even i am a bit bored with this, almost put a BB game on the other day. Almost

See this is the problem. Yep bowled ok but he is not batting in a bowlers position. 6 is a batsmen's spot and if you happen to be lucky you have an all rounder good enough. What is this crazy obsession with having an allrounder in the team just to have one when we don't have one good enough.

Mitch Marsh has not done anything full stop. Ok there has bee a few wickets but this is test cricket and he is meant to be the No 6, a batsman. This is the current weak link with this team. Burns has not lit up the world most certainly, but is having a much better season and deserves the...

Well that is all over and though a win is a win, somehow there is no satisfaction in that. I am sure the team will celebrate but only to a point

You say that and it was a really good ball that got him, but really is there a weaker team to play? maybe Zimbabwe.

Tend to agree, think the follow on is gone now. Good fight by Bravo, there is some spirit there afterall.

do you think it was a two headed coin

Well despite a promising start the worst has happened. Total rubbish from the top order, Burns must be shitting himself with that effort.

give them a chance. we can always bag them out after the first day

don't agree. The Gabba was a poor game as the Kiwi's were under prepared. i recon if they were ready to go it would have ended more along the perth lines. Also is Adelaide not now a drop in as they play AFL there and pitch squares are strictly out or is that the pitch you meant. Think it was the...

I have been a critic of the pitches produced around the world for a long time now. There are far to many countries producing pitches just for the home team. I always thought the variety in Australia was a good thing but of recent we seem to have lost our way with groundsmen not able to produce...

as good as an innings

I am with you, the ball didn't hurt but that was a proper test pitch. It was the batsmen getting out thinking they could just smash it at will that was the problem. See Warne is calling for the first test with WI to be a D/N. not like me but i agree with him for a change

Well dinner break and the night season to go. Well balanced for an exciting finish, what a great game. Looking at what has happened with the pink ball i think it has been good other than it doing a little too much in the evening. More day night shield games could be very good for teaching our...

I get the feeling that NZ don't quite have enough runs, though the ball is doing a little to much. NZ just dropped Smith, OOP's

All of them, as in all of the list above other than SA being chokers and every other record. The game has changed and the records will fall. IT is the way of evolution. doesn't make any of these guys better batsmen or bowlers, look at the averages and games played and no one will get close to...

Has been the same all game, well all two days of it. Bit of swing in the morning, good to bat in the afternoon session then all the bowlers way at night. It would seem that there are many batsmen that have forgotten how to be patient and judge each ball. They have become used to the slog and i...

OOO, that was ordinary but i will be waiting to hear what he comes up with as justification. Should be funny. Other than that, that is cricket. It has happened all to often. think back to the past ashes and the over turn by the third when there was no hot spot? that was also a rip[ off, so we...
