I hope that was celebration, and not mock surprise! ;-)
in reference to
this discussion, conclusive proof that god isnt an Englishman!
on paper, quite a close match between the sides (once Panesar* got a look in), but in reality a miss is as good as a mile. we were shot down in flames in Brisbane, lost it really only on the final day in Adelaide and lost it when Gilchrist made his tonne in almost-record time (Viv's record is safe for a bit then!) despite a magnificent tonne from Cook in Perth.
Still, two more to go!
Happy Christmas Australia!
high points - Freddie's Bowling, KP, Colly and Cook tonnes, Hoggy's 7-fer, Monty's 5-fer (8 in the match)*
low points - Jones either side of the sticks!
*so. it seems Panesar justified Fletchers' decision not to pick him for the 1st two tests. I mean he only got a 5-fer!! :pissed:
its been interesting!
