Ratings (winning side)
J.Langer (60%) Played well for his runs but in the first innings got a start and couldn't carry on. Will be dissapointed with his efforts batting but fielded well.
M.Hayden (40%) Hasn't had the best of a test series. Batted only once and scored modestly. Did good in the field but will be anxious to know if the arm injury is going to keep him out of the 5th test.
R.Ponting (60%) Got a start like so many others but failed to capitalize. Has again captained well and took many catches for the match in slip and the covers. His 47 was classy and agressive but got out chasing a bad ball.
D.Martyn (55%) Had a quiet game, got a start like Langer and Ponting but again got out just before the 50 mark. Played well, especially off his legs and scored a majority of runs on the leg side. Was bowled by a brilliant delivery.
M.Hussey (95%) Had a brilliant game, Was one of the only people to attack the bowlers on a seaming wicket and made the bowlers pay for wide deliveries. Made a sparkling century including a huge 6 over cover. Can be happy with his efforts in the field as well, taking an important catch to remove Lara.
A.Gilchrist (60%) Hasn't really had much of a go in this series with the bat and it continued in Hobart. Batted for a short while in the first inning, hitting one solid 4 before being called in for the declaration. Opened the batting for Matty Hayden and played well but was only chasing a small total. Kept well with 3 catches and a stumping that was almost out.
S.Watson (30%) Didn't have much of a bowl or a bat, Gave a good supporting innings to Hussey but should be surprised if he is re-called for Adelaide.
S.Warne (70%) Bowled brillianly on a spinners pitch and took wickets when the Aussies needed them. Got Lara in the second which sparked the collapse. Didn't bat.
B.Lee (85%) Had arguably his best game, ripping through the lower order in the first innings, then the top and lowers orders in the second. Again bowled with agression but this time was rewarded with wickets. Interestingly could be facing a fine after his antics when he got Hinds caught at slip by Ponting.
N.Bracken (25%) Was given a decent go with the ball but couldn't breakthrough like his fellow paceman could. Got one wicket which was the last batsmen. Had a dissapointing game and like Shane Watson will be surprised if he is re-called.
G.McGrath (75%) Did what everyone expects of him, took wickets. Although he had a slow start he made up for it in the second innings, taking four wickets. Moved the ball off the deck paricularly well and deserved the wickets he got.
MOM: M.Hussey :happy
