Haddin, to the rescue. That's why he's crap.

 

[Scumbag]

Man, I think Ponting's a toolsqueezer, but what a freakin' brilliant catch!

It was pretty awesomepants.

 

[Scumbag]

Well, it's physically impossible to get more plumb than that. Even KFAH "Professional Christmas Day Local Park Cricket Umpire" raised the finger with extreme conviction after seeing that one.

Thankyou come again.

 

[mrslong]

i had hopes of getting them out by tea, still holding onto that hope with 10 mins to go....

 

[mrslong]

kiwis, got nuthin. nuthin.

 

[Coxy]

No, they got nothung. Nothung.

 

[Scumbag]

Neither do Australia, if you put it into perspective. It took a pathetically long time to dispose of them this afternoon.

 

[gUt]

Apparently poo-zealand are now ranked below Bangladesh as a Test playing nation.

 

[Coxy]

Really? That's a bit harsh. Bangladesh didn't even beat them in their recent series!

 

[Hatchy]

Poor old Kiwis. At least they won the world cup

 

[ethos]

McCullum's innings was great to watch this arvo. Shame he can't produce when it actually counts though.

Bangladesh will make a late comeback :P

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

LOL, yeah the ram rooters will want to be careful.

Actually, the most pleasing thing about that table is the position of 'its our destiny to be No. 1' India.

 

[Browny]

Saw some of the Windies v Kiwi's test match and they had the challenge an umpires decision.

Windies challenged twice and got the kiwi out

 

[Coxy]

Speaking of the "its our destiny to be number 1", talk about a flukey win over England.

 

[Browny]

How did the Indians get up this time?

 

[Woody]

Got to give the Indians credit for that as chasing down nearly 400 in the last innings is a good achievement. I think it was the 4th highest run chase in history. England bowled very poorly but they still needed to knock it off.
