Damn and blast! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Damn and Blast indeed. :D All out for 159. 6 of 'em to the old man, no less.

Looks like it may go for five days.

Ponting decided to bat again.

"Bowler preservation" is Kerry O'Keefe's analysis - because of the back to back tests. Unexpected. A good move when thinking about it. Think of the psychological damage England would have facing an 800 run total....

Its not worth me staying up to watch this stuff. :( Think I might go to bed before 4am today, prolong the agony of the score until the morning.

157, actually. And on ehe same pitch that was called by the English comms as a "minefield", the OZ managed to score 1-181 at stumps in less than a day. :D

England fighting back somewhat in their second innings in pursuit of 648 though - they're at 5-289 and may yet take this match to tea on the final day.

Good to see a fightback!

If it rains tomorrow then Punter will have more than a bad back to worry about. Good fightback today and good to see some competitive cricket. Warne v Petierson was a classic :D

Ya, what happened there? I only saw it on the highlights. I thought they were old mates! :D

Ha! Not likely :rolleyes: ;)
