Hey Rooter, you were right. When I checked the scores last Warner was 75 n.o. But at the end of days play he had 100 from 69 which is equal 4th fastest in test history.

Australia basically have India's first innings in a matter of a few hours.

I hope it is that our boys are back and have got the balls of old and not just that India are playing so poorly they make us look good.

I was at that test amazing innings such power hitting

[Xavo]

How about the Adelaide test?

It feels like Deja Vu with lots of runs scored on the first day, then collapsing on the second. Then the same thing with South Africa today.

Really regret not going to the 1st Test in Brissy, but at least I'll be there for the Ashes next year.

[Fall.au]

Day 1 was BRUTAL 482 runs on the first day of a test match unreal

[Xavo]

Props to Kallis for soldiering on with his injury, he's had one or two nice little boundaries which is what he needs more of.

Siddle just needs to keep the headhunters coming so he can't score.

[Fall.au]

Chin music is a waste of time vs top order batsmen. Better off bowling good line and length

[Xavo]

Except when it hurts him to duck - if he ducks.

He's getting into form, so it'll be interesting to see how far he can take it.

[Fall.au]

Warner has a great stache going on

[Xavo]

Looks like another magnificent afternoon of cricket coming up. Still deciding whether I should head down to the pub and watch on the big screen or not...

[Fall.au]

got tickets to Day 1 2 and 4 of the WACA test pretty excited hope its a good few days

[Xavo]

Yeah will be an interesting one that's for sure. I reckon the Aussies might just be able to pull this one off, but it'll be a nail biting finish.

South African attack this afternoon really shows why they're number one in the world at the moment.

[Fall.au]

gotta wonder how many more times Clarke is gonna save teh aussie when the top 3 keep failing

[Xavo]

Yep Clarke and Hussey, no doubt about em. Ponting looked almost promising in a couple of his strokes, but failed to get off again. I reckon he should call it in, even if he gets a high score or two - he's just too expensive. Although we need someone that can replace him, which in itself is no easy feat. So he might get another couple of seasons.

Sad day for cricket , Ricky Ponting announces his retirement and will play his last game at the WACA

All the best Punter.

Thanks for the years. Absolute Gun.

[Xavo]

This is going to be a special test I reckon.

Good on him and hopefully he can leave with a good score and a series win.

Punter read your post and you made him leave.........I will never forgive you for this Xavo....

One of the greatest cricketers of the last decade pulling up stumps, sad sad day.

I don't ever recall him losing a match for Australia, but have witnessed and can remember quite a few times where he has won it for us.
Much respect for ricky

[mo0nbuggy1]

I agree. He hit the ball real good.
And what's more, he could do other stuff as well.
