I reckon Johnnie Howard must have called up Channel Nine and demanded that they show it till stumps :D

We all missed the Gough hattrick last time, and I'm glad we didn't miss out on this (given that the gough hat-trick, though sensational, was by a pom :D)

and was the 2nd last ball great or what?! Must be the biggest roar EVER for a single :D

Pfft.. Tendulkar, i admit i have canged my opinion on Steve Waugh, surely he must hold his spot for the Windies...
 
I cannot believe the selfishness of Steve Waugh. Clearly he put himself above the team, instructing Hayden, Langer and Ponting to get out cheaply so he could come in and save the team in a "crisis".

Then removing the Love threat with a timely call of "chewie on your bat" causing him to lose concentration and edge it to the slips.

And to top it all off, he tells Gilly to slow down to make sure he reached 100 first!

Tomorrow he'll probably selfishly go on to his highest ever Test score and a big first innings lead and a 5-0 clean sweep.

Selfish bastard!

FWIW, I would take Border's 50s surrounded by some of the worst cricketers to play for our country, against one of the best bowling attacks to play the game, over Waugh's 100 today. Nice, but perspective.

i feel sorry for you pathetic steve waugh knockers willing to drill in nails at every opportunity. it is you who follow the game and will never get wrapped up in the emotion of what was the finest days cricket i have ever seen.

glorious stuff steve!!! first the entry onto the ground, not a single bum on a seat, then the 50, then the 10,000 test runs which i was desperately hoping would come before his career was over.

and as if in an effort to thank the crowd for their magnificent support of the great man himself, a fairytale ending like that. needing 5 off the last over, teasing us by blocking the first 3, and Gilchrist you legend for finding a single out there, then on the LAST BALL!!! what a stunning stoke, not a dry eye at the SCG.

this must be match fixing, you cannot script it any better.

Were you there Nicko? It was pretty amazing stuff - I was in the O'Reilly Concourse, and I've never seen at atmosphere like it at the cricket.
 
yep, i was there BS. only got there for the last session though.

as for the atmosphere, absolutely electric. what made it so much better was the fact that EVERYONE at the ground was cheering steve waugh on, something you certainly wouldnt get at say the adelaide oval. the crowd rose with every run he hit, and he repaid them for their support. the steve waugh chants were deafening.

Knuckles, give your big uncle Wayde a hug, I know you're upset about the Australian Test team, climbing thier way back into this game, after the Poms had them in a lot of trouble (You're one of those pricks that hate sucessful teams, regardless of what they do), so do yourself a favour, take a panadol, have a good lie down, and come back into this forum, when you've got something remotely interesting or intelligent to say.

FWIW, Although this innings that's just ended on 102 by Steve Waugh is one of the best i've seen him play, because he had the vultures surrounding him, ready to swoop (c***s like you, Knuckles, the selectors, the media, and those who wanted to sink the boot in).

Although Allan Border played many gutsy innings captaining woeful Australian sides, against terrific attacks, Steve Waugh has shown yet again that he is the most courageous batsman currently playing the game.
 
One of the greatest days in Aussie cricket.

One of the best captains knocks ever.

Well done Steve Waugh!!

Great for Steve to get a ton, break the 10,000 barrier and possibly safe his test cricket career. Steve Waugh ALWAYS stands up for the big test matches. You can always count on him when the going gets tough and the rest of the team have failed.

Well done to Channel Nine for going live dispite their news and TV show committments.

I think Uncle Wayde might be hugging something already. Just because you don't agree with someone elses perspective it doesn't make it any less interesting or intelligent. Or would you prefer the internet was full of like minded people having a collective w@nk.

Well done to Waugh, a good innings, but there have been many better IMO.

5 Test series, leading 4-0.

Big Test match or dead rubber?

??? Puzzlling comment.

Do a bit of research you'll find most of Tubby's centuries came in the 1st and 2nd Tests of series, and many of Waugh's have come in the 3rd and 4th when the series was probably already won or lost.

pfft, what a load of crap, you do the research

steve waugh has only scored 6 centuries in his career including yesterdays that have been in dead rubber matches.

and by the way, tubby had a reputation for losing 'nothing' matches, unlike steve waugh

Dead Rubber obviously, but the Australian test team were moaning on that they wanted to win 5-0 (so It could mean a bit for those historians).

And big test match I should have referred to Steve Waugh's career - if he got 2 ducks in this test he'd not get a ticket to the West Indies in April (unless he booked the Merv and Funky Miller tour).

That is very true. In the last 8 Ashes series, England have only won 1 "live" rubber - that was at Edgbaston in 1997.
