Have yourself a complementary beverage son.

Congrats Ricky.

Ponting is now third of all time for Test runs behind Tendulkar and Lara. He's just overtaken Allan Border's record and now has the most Test runs for an Australian. What a batsman.

Congrats punter good record.miss pulled short some minutes ago but hand-god for australian supporters he is safe.

I'm sick of all the Shane Watson haters. He's played a quality knock of 62, that's a great effort for an opener under immense pressure, and let's not forget his ability with the ball as well. How can you all still claim he is terrible after that? Did we see Hughes making any runs like that recently?

Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Phil Hughes and am really looking forward to his progression, but far out, I am sick of everyone bagging Watson and saying he is crap. I am a big supporter of Watson being a Queenslander and I am standing up for him here after this innings. He has played a quality knock under pressure, and you are all still saying how bad he is.

Open your eyes.

Congrats Ponting, well deserved record. Now onto Tendulkar!
The sad thing is Bradman will be bumped off the list soon.

Gah, Punter is the highest run-scoring Aussie. Well done I guess.

Still got nothin' on Lara and Sachin.


C'MON FREDDAY. One more breakthrough and we are into the tail!

Who the hell are you supporting? You claim to be Australian and now your supporting England?

 

[King Pietersen]

Brilliant start from Onions this morning. This is how he's been bowling for Durham and it's the first time he's done it in the series, and he's looked consistently threatening. Shame we can't say the same for Fred who's bowling too wide and down on pace. I'd have gone Onions and Swann this morning.

Time to give Fred a rest. Not doing much. I'd give it to Jimmy and then Swanny when Onions is fried.

 

[Aditya]

Totally agree with barmyarmy freddie need rest now its time for jamesanderson to attack and swann from another end replacing onions give child rest.

 

[barmyarmy]

Onions is sizzling this morning. Ponting gone.

 

[Themer]

Well Onions is proving me wrong, didn't think he was test quality but this spell here is definetly test quality. Ponting gone.

 

[Aditya]

Plan worked.You beauty onion third for you in one day 163-4 ponting goes yes no need to give onion rest.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Who the hell are you supporting? You claim to be Australian and now your supporting England?

When and where did I claim to be Australian? I'm neutral, with a slight bias to England!


GOT EM!!! Onions is proving too sharp for the Aussie, he's leaving them in tears! (Sorry, sorry!)


Into the tail now!

Here we go again, we learnt absolutely nothing from the Lord's 1st innings. Poor leaves and poor shots. Good comeback by Onions.
