Bowled the best ball of my life today. Man I was so excited.
Bowling to my old captain, who is a decent left hand bat, he is still playin and has scored 160 from his last two digs. Anyway, we were just in the nets, and there was a strong breeze blowing from left to right, so I bowled around the wicket, throwing the ball into the breeze, which was holding the ball up nicely and I was getting a bit of turn (offies).
Bowled him about 6 balls, bowled a few goodies, he played some good shots. Next ball I bowled a quicker one, no flight probably 10-15km faster than normal pitched middle and leg, he came to defend it with a good stride forward bat and pad together and the ball whizzed past the outside edge and hit the top of off....
I was pumped,
Sorry for boring you, but I could only tell my mum and sister and they know nothing about cricket so didn't understand.
I agree, Australia won that test with 5 players. Hussey, Watson, Haddin, Johnson and Harris and I agree to an extent about Ponting.
Brisbane he got caught behind for 10 (can't really remember his innings)
then he got 51 not out on a flat deck.
Adelaide he got an absolute pearler first ball and that would have got anyone out. THen caught at slip off Swann.
Perth he was looking good for the runs he got, and got caught spectacularly by Collywobbles.
Then 2nd innings that was a shocker.
Obviously the results have been rubbish, but people are way too harsh on him. He is coming off a decent tour of India (didn't score a ton but a couple of good fifities) I hope he hits a ton and people will back off him cause he is one of the greats. Plus Australia don't have anyone to take over from him.

im still perplexed by the selection of smith if they keep the same XI for the 4th test. i like smith, but he's not in the top 6 batsmen in australia. granted he bats in the top 6 for nsw and has made runs, but hes not a test #6. neither is he the best spinner in australia. so he's sort of an insurance policy, which is pretty risky at #6 when ponting and clarke havent hit it off the square for 2 years. i guess you could look at it differently if hadds batted 6 and smith, 7, but i still think playing smith and beer is wrong for he mcg. if youre going to pick beer for boxing day, then smith should go for another top6 batsman... we werent found out by this interesting selection in perth because harris and johnson bowled so well. oh and hughes has to go. no questions asked. his technique is so highly flawed at the top level it's not funny. cant let this win get in the way of the fact that watson, hussey and haddin at #7 is what's holding us together with the bat.
ill keep standing by this. the selectors are absolute fucktards. have they ever seen cricket before?
Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

Has there ever been a test match where the bowling team has gone past the opening team in one day without losing a wicket? Roll on 11.30 tonight.
