| Is throwing the ball to Warne and Pigeon,or sitting in the dressing room watching another Hayden-Langer assault or a Gilchrist blitz really a sign of good captaincy?? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Well, that's why I thought Hayden's comments were interesting. He has a lot of respect for Waugh and credits him for giving him the confidence he needed to forge a test career. He's played under Taylor also, and I suppose you could throw in Border as well as he did tour England in 1993. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wonder how Steve Waugh feels about that? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hayden in Inside Cricket magazine was asked about Ponting's seemingly endless critics. This was his answer: He knows what he is about and he is going to stick to it. He's brilliant. Hasn't he copped some cr*p? What a joke. Some of the things that have been written and said about Ricky and his captaincy are just ridiculous. I think I know what leadership is about, and Ricky is as good a leader as I've seen. |

| After we went down 2-0 to the saffas after the first 2 tests in the recent tests here all the ex captains had much to say bout Ponting thru all forms of the media.... I bet these same ex capt's are waiting for the saffas to chase down this target so they can re load and attack him again..... |

| lol fair enough adrian, though i do not post much in here, mostly reading. I do find mips posts 'interesting reading' i'll leave it at that ;) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We all knew what you meant in the first place matt... "show no mercy" you have to understand that mip is not entirely with it.. seeing his girly team getting spanked by another minnow nation like his own is sending him round the bend.. |

| By: nyeninch 21 minutes ago Re:Aus V SA (PREVIEW) Yep, Mark Taylor is the best captain I've ever seen. Alan Border for me. |

| By: mip_ceo 41 minutes ago Re:Aus V SA (PREVIEW) Just read your post Mattack...so are you saying that Waugh would have shown mercy or not ? Yep mip, what i wrote was not clear reading it again. Waugh would not have shown mercy. |

| Yep, Mark Taylor is the best captain I've ever seen. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes mip, Ricky has always had his weak points.. everyone knows that and i have never claimed him to be a great capt.. Mark Taylor leaves them all behind.. But in saying that Ponting is still far better than Vaughan. |

| "That said 300+ on a 5th day pitch. Surely not !!!" It's not 300+ it's only 276. I'm guessing that they now wish they had selected Bryce McGain. Great con job the Saffers pulled off in the Presidents XI match. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Enforcing the follow on was not really an option as we have just 3 frontline bowlers and they had bowled a lot of overs each in the first innings. With the second test starting on Thursday, it could've proven very costly to force the boys into the field again immediately. Great match atm. I think Aussies are still on top, but the Saffers can make them sweat it out if they get through to lunch no more than 4 down. |

| Just read your post Mattack...so are you saying that Waugh would have shown mercy or not ? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ha ha ha Ricky has to learn to go for the jugular is that what you said Adrian. I translate that to read Ricky is a weak captain and he is. His learning time is over. He makes very strange decisions that if they come off would be brilliant and classed as a great captain. But usually they don't. If the Australians POP along tonight then its trouble. That said 300+ on a 5th day pitch. Surely not !!! Anyone mention Perth ?? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Steve Waugh would not have shown no mercy | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes gotta say Ricky has to learn to go for the jugular.. He's asking for trouble now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Still think they should have gone for the kill and enforced the follow on. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Great, great match in progress. It's obvious that the main difference between this Aussie side and the one of five years ago is consistency. Whereas they used to play five solid days of cricket, this side doesn't seem to be able to put five good days together. Still, it's going to be a big ask for the Saffas on the fifth day. Just hope the rain stays away! |

| This is why i love Test Cricket and to hell with the other shtye... This match is really set up for the taking.. I think SA have the temperament to take this to the edge. Have we the temperament to keep the bowling tight? The pressure is on both sides equally.. Love it.. Just hope the rain stays away and we get a result. As for England v Windies.. well the windies reach 700 !!!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Amazing, feels just like the test series in Australia, we belt the Saffers in the first innings then let them slip away for a win. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| oh c.r.a.p , 178/2 is not good! If we srcew up again then so do our hopes of keeping the no.1 ranking | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| At this point they are well on track to grab us by the balls | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| FFS if we still think we're number one we have to do better than this | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| shame the Aussies don't have a spinner... all that pace coming onto the bat is helping the Saffers on... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
