Didn't he go 1st over in the last test ?
It could be a good omen.

Seems like we're going alright! Anyway the score we have is almost a match winner against Pakistan. :D
Matthew Hayden .. i've been calling the praises of this boy for years!! Always feel on deaf ears, and was always laughed at when merely 'suggesting' his worth.
Now he is proving everyone wrong. He is as solid as a rock!!
Queenslander!!! :)

Ponting 142

best score of the series for both of them...
It was good to see some Hawthorn members at the cricket,the chook & cat. :D
Welcome back for Day 2...
Ponting brings up his 150, Steve Waugh 34.
This would have to be the best chance Ponting will ever get to record a double ton.

Damien Martyn got a beauty from Waqar first up and was out for a golden duck. Gilchrist and Steve Waugh are at the crease now.
Go Aussies!!

Damien Martyn and Justin Langer have hid a hard patch. They haven't done much in their past half a dozen tests now.
The batting lately seems to be relying on Hayden Ponting and Gilly.

Langer was looking pretty good in the last test before being run out off a dropped catch. Couldn't get much unluckier than that!
Martyn made 60-something in first Test I think?
But both of them could use a big score.
Unfortunately, on recent form, they may not get a second dig here.
Langer Last 9 Ten Scores
v SAF - 28
v SAF - 37
v SAF - 58
v SAF - 11
v SAF - 18
v Pak - 72
v Pak - 25
v Pak - 37
v Pak - 4
Overall: 290 runs at 32.22
Martyn Last 8 Ten Scores
v SAF - 0
v SAF - 2
v SAF - 0
v SAF - 11
v Pak - 20
v Pak - 67
v Pak - 34
v Pak - 0
Overall: 134 runs at 16.75
Nothing major just yet, although Martyn's isn't looking good at all (although he did get a 133 (1st Test in SAF) and 117 (3rd Test v SAF in AUS) in the 2 innings's before this run ou bad form), but its something to keep in mind coming into the ashes series. These two will need to turn it around or expect the media to jump on their backs.

It's interesting about Langer and his recent run of moderate form. It seems his Test form can become unreliable whenever he starts publicly stating he wants a crack at the one-day side.
I remember he was making some noises about this before the West Indies 2000/01 series, and after that his form gradually fell away to the point of being dropped before the Ashes series.
And before this Test series, Langer was reported saying how the Waugh brothers would now know how it is to live in his world and how dispruptive the two-side policy is.
Him being not in consideration of the one-day side really seems to get to him at times, and it affects his Test performances.
Steve Waugh a ton.
What a champion.

STEVE WAUGH YOU ABSOLUTE CHAMPION.
This morning I was talking to clucas91 on msn.
I said this: "I bet you any money Tugga goes on to make a ton."
Chris agreed.
I knew it. He rises to the challenge.
His career was on the line basically and I just KNEW he would come out fighting like the champion that he is.
Onya Tugga!

Steve Waugh you champion.
Stick that up your arse Hookes!
it was up there in his best half a dozen centuries and i'll tell you why:
1 - the pressure coming into the test on him and the form he had
2 - his first 50 run's were very ordinary to say the least, especially last night but he guts it out like a champ
3 - the heat
4 - he was still on 82 when McGrath came out to bat and had to blaze away to get to the ton
a true champions innings

Pakistan 5/94
Latif 12*
Raza 6*
Looks like they may get past the 100!
6/100 then 6/163 at stumps which is somewhat disappointing but obviously well in control.
I'm just enjoying seeing Warne get back to his best 3/57 at stumps that makes 22 for the series so far, he has man of the series wrapped up. Sorry Hayden.

Pakistan made those runs against the likes of Mark Waugh and Ricky Ponting who were brought on as the light was a bit dodgy. I expect us to clean up the Pakistani tail fairly quickly today, however I don't think we'll enforce the follow on.... I reckon we'll bat again and build a huge lead and make Pakistan bat last on a wearing wicket.
Cheers!!

How good is Steve Waugh!
That over where he smashed 22 was brilliant stuff, inspirational.
We should still get them before the follow-on with a bit of luck.
Brett Lee has to go, some of that garbage was Craig Matthews-esque.

Because most who write and broadcast in the mainstream media, with a couple of exceptions, are morons. They generally happy to repeat the 'common sense view' of things without putting any independent thought into it.

True.
But my 'common sense view' is that Brett Lee is $hite and should be dropped.

not a bad tactic and one which i would consider if i was skipper of a team in this position, but Steve Waugh is not known to not enforcing the follow on i dont think it'll be any different in this test.

True, but it may not matter, as the Pakki's need only 67 more runs to avoid the follow on. They are 6/178 btw.

Pakistan were all out for 221. Steve Waugh enforced the follow-on and the Pakki's are now 3/19 in their 2nd innings.
make that 4/30. One to Bichel.
Brett Lee performing up to his usual standard:
13.6 Lee to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run
13.5 Lee to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, outside the off, trying to bowl too
fast, left alone
13.4 Lee to Misbah-ul-Haq, FOUR, square drive! in the air and beats the
field - four!
13.3 Lee to Misbah-ul-Haq, two runs, thick inside edge and ball goes
behind square leg
13.2 Lee to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, wayward bouncer, wasted delivery, Lee
sparying it all over
13.1 Lee to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, pushed back to the bowler, picks it
up takes aim, and fails to hit the stumps from ten yards! Not that
it would have made any difference, batsman inside the crease
And Bichel bowls Raza off a no-ball!
It's all happening here!
Brad Williams just dropped an easy catch.
Don't worry,he was actually sitting in the stand when he dropped it.:D
Great run out by Hauritz earlier in the innings.
Warnes got another sucker. 7/102

Because most cricket journalism is mindless plagiarism. They've been obsessed with the Waughs. Steve's off the hook for the moment so they'll need to think of someone else.
Someone will think of it, an article will be written about Brett Lee's poor performance and there'll be a spate of articles written. Then if he's dropped, they'll all say, "I told you so."
