Re: Test series - Aus v Sth Africa
So because a team has won more times in the past, that makes your captain not cabernet. Laughable, you're better than that bomberBomber wrote:Who have won more ashes tests in history?

Re: Test series - Aus v Sth Africa
Deflect, deflect, almost a full turn! You want to talk about history on one hand, but dismiss it on the other.
And yes, its 5/75 and Aussies on top. Serves the saffers right for batting so slowly (again) as the supposed no1 team. Talk about touring here for a 0-0 draw!

you were talking about ponting but then wanted talk about games before ponting. As I said, you're better than that.

Re: Test series - Aus v Sth Africa
bottom line is you're trying to include something that happened in 1901 in regards to ponting being a good captain and you think I'm at a dead end.

Ponting used to be captain = history
Aussies have beaten England more than the opposite = history

in that case ponting was a coward because bradman was once the australian captain.
Now stop deflecting and stick to the subject of ponting as a captain.

What a cheat warner is? He knew he hit it, hence the delay in taking the DRS.
Now the tranny lover is in, most hypocritical little champagne since langer.

He hit and he knew he hit it, hence the delay in calling for the review. If he hadn't hit the call would have been immediate.

Looks like the saffers will be keeping their number one, even if England beat india in their series. Jonny Lidon must be having fun over there in perth.

this has been a great test series, the tide has changed so many times.

Re: Test series - Aus v Sth Africa
Yeah, a 5 test series would be much better but its their peak season for cricket at home too. Shame too as the Boxing day test at MCG and potential decider at SCG soon after would have been ideal, but we are playing Sri Lanka (with better spinners) on those decks - cant say we dont look after our guests!ruud wrote:this has been a great test series, the tide has changed so many times.

Re: Test series - Aus v Sth Africa
love the fact that a result wicket has clearly been produced at the waca but ponting is very quiet. He wasn't so quiet at the Oval in 2009.
love the fact that at one point in adelaide, australian had 2 sub fielders on the pitch but ponting was very quiet. He wasn't so quiet at Trent Bridge in 2009.
Is the tranny lover getting forgetful in his old age or is he a hypocritical little bottle of shiraz gnome like his mate langer?
Glad to see the back of the hypocritical cheatling little champagne. (just a pity he didn't stay for another ashes series as we now have to take all 10 wickets)
