2010 Australia in 'Pakistan'

[Bulldog]

it could still have been an Aussie win.

but it wasn't

Rudi Koertzen umpired his 108th Test match - his final one before retirement. (We remember those howlers in the 2nd innings of last year's Lords Test).

which 'howlers' were those then?

Ricky Ponting steered Mohammad Aamer to 3rd man for a boundary, to bring up 40 runs in the 2nd innings, and his 12 000th Test run (only the 2nd player to do - behind Sachin Tendulkar - now on 13 539 runs). Can Ricky catch him? dependent on Sachin retiring very soon?

we all know who's the more respected cricketer out of those two (and who's the biggest whinger)

been quiet a long time. fanatics isnt really the home of cricket in Oz. its more a site for overpriced tours for bandwagon jumpers.

i found another site called Big Cricket which seems to have a little more life

then there's the cricforum run by that guy that bans anyone that doesnt suck his c**k. I wouldnt recommend that one.

Indeed. However you would have thought someone with Ponting's experience would have beared this in mind.

It was a poor decision. There is no way around it. I also prefer to concentrate on the present rather than the past Mr Gimctas.

Yeah, it seems like that

Thanks, i'll have a look at that

The cricket365 forum is pretty good and there's lots of cricket discussed on planetrugby too, on both sites the Aussies cricket/rugby fans get whipped and spend a lot of time whingeing and sulking
