What is the point in him sitting around in Brisbane if NSW are playing in WA?

I agree, but who is the 12th man, if an Australian has to leave the field?

 

[Robelinda]

Its normal practice to send the 12th man back to state duty, been so for a few years now. the Aussies usually grab a local QLD player to do on field 12th man duties. During the coverage yesterday they showed footage of Nash being 12th man for Australia a few years ago at the Gabba, he dropped a catch and looked most upset!

Greg Moller was 12th man, Bollinger ain't that great in the field anyway and its in his best interest to get more overs under his belt instead of delivering Clarke his margarita.

 

[aussie1st]

Ponting's first challenge of the match, Siddle pleaded with Ponting but its wasted in the end. Hot spot shows clear evidence that the umpires ruling was correct.

 

[TumTum]

These 2 are batting really well, especially Ramdin.

Ripper of a ball by Johnson, shape into the batsmen then swung away to get the edge.

Johnson bowled well,fast and accurate....Aus will easily win not only the test match ,but also series (possibility of even a white wash, they will certainly regain their No1 spot)

Just when I said Katich is at bat pad.

I'm hoping the Windies score at least 281. At any rate, I doubt Ponting would employ the follow on, he'll want to give Watson another opportunity to score and also give the quicks a rest.

Hauritz on a hattrick! Hedger, where are you?

 

[aussie1st]

Nathan Hauritz on a hattrick, who would have thought!

 

[OffCutters]

Hattrick please!?

What a catch by Pup!

 

[CricketPunk]

Hauritz!!!! Come on don't get a wicket this over Johnson

 

[nikhil_99]

Hauritz on a hat-trick, lets see, he has bowled really good...just 5 overs , 11 runs and 2 wickets... WI really struggling...

 

[OffCutters]

Hauritz hattrick FTW! Please get it!

 

[aussie1st]

Haha bold, Travis went down the wicket and for a moment I thought there was a chance.
