Is it just me or is Ponting a really bad captain?

Just you.

What would you do with this attack? It's pretty much out of Ponting's hands whether they perform or not

 

[Highlander999]

God save your Queen indeed!!!

Any Aussies daring to show their face in the ground today?

EDIT - Good catching Pup, hahaha

 

[pcfan123]

Hahahaha love the Clarke drop, too bad there were no Australians there to see it live

 

[Blues]

Dropped catches do not help at all.

Australia in years gone by would not have put down the catches dropped in this match by Doherty, Johnson and now Clarke

Clarke drops a sitter. It's not looking good. The only way I see Australia winning at this stage is that if England make an attacking declaration.

It's up to him to tell them where to bowl. It's up to him to set good field placings. It just seems a bit half-arsed to me.

Gotta go to work mate

Hahaha never a problem for our loyal supporters.

 

[Highlander999]

It's almost like it is being played at Lords, Old Trafford or the Oval with this much support.

Good bowling there

He can do that all he wants, but if they don't execute what can he do other than shuffle to someone else who doesn't look like getting a wicket. A lot down to the wicket the way I see it, but still.

Didn't know Harmison was bowling in this series?

 

[Blues]

Of course the England fans are going to attend the last day, they have flown half way across the world. The local fans realise nothing is going to come of this game so are happy to sit at home instead of being out in the sun all day

I think it goes to show how fickle the Aussie "supporters" are. Should be lots of spare tickets for the SCG though. Lucky me!!!

 

[Left_Hander]

Big spell here for Doherty. Hopefully he gets it right.
