Fielding brilliance there from Sarwan. Damn it. =)
It was an ominously looking century-type innings from Ponting too… again.

Brave call Asad… I don’t care if Hawk Eye “suggests” it was going to clip the outside of leg, that ball was cutting down leg and cutting fast.

LOL!
Cozier and Holding are talking about the rain off in the distance. Cozier asks Holding about the rain with his experience in the country. Holding goes on to talk about it staying off in the distance…
The camera man at some point zooms in on a lovely looking local lady with lovely, well, everything. Holding just continues on with his discussion by finishing with, “Those are here.”
Brilliant! Those were very nice…

Hayden is murdering them. I’d like to see if Samuels still has his stupid grin on…

Samuels is on and he’s not smiling.

Michael seems to have had to commentate on his ownsome. I thought you might have at least kept him company, Will!
( I was asleep, of course)

Although I didn’t see the Australian innings, I was interested to read how slowly Hayden started before making his big score, not getting off the mark until something like the 18th ball. I hope the England batsmen take some notice of this. That you don’t have to thwack at it stupidly in the very early overs.

Hawkeye is on drugs. Ignore whatever it shows.

It’s definitely quiet and lonely times… I figured I’d driven you all away.
March 28th, 2007 at 5.13 am
Yeah, well I was worried that you were actually Michael Marqusee.
March 28th, 2007 at 5.16 am
I have no idea who that is…

He’s an American socialist and journalist who wrote a book about cricket called “Anyone But England” and wrote this article
http://sport.guardian.co.uk/cricketworldcup2007/story/0,,2042920,00.html
the other day in the Guardian which I found pretty irritating. I was bitching about him the other day on this blog. Everything is the fault of the racist, capitalist, imperialist West, in his view, including everything wrong with cricket.

And you thought I was him? Gee thanks…
Hey, I like Flintoff, Thorpe and Mark Nicholas. That has to count for something. I’m just a one-eyed Aussie…
March 28th, 2007 at 3.19 pm
See ya Samuels. That works against Scotland…

Tony.T – I have to agree. Tait nailed Chanderpaul with a beautiful *late* inswinger that was taking middle and off and looked as plumb as can be. Hawkeye comes on and “suggests” missing off. There was no swing in the Hawkeye version. The Hawkeye version also appeared to me to have pitched earlier than it actually did.

Amazing innings from Lara once again. What a career, how often has he come out to “do it all himself” again? The rest seem to waft and wail away, Lara uses that stunning backlift to play controlled, tracer-bullet cricket shots. And maintaining a healthy run rate.
March 29th, 2007 at 3.13 pm
Lara has got to be the greatest batsman of the last twenty years. I’d have loved to have seen that innings last night, but I’m just glad that he’s back in the runs again. Apparently that Ramdin guy did quite well too.
March 29th, 2007 at 6.41 pm
I believe over the past 3 years the greatest batsman is Ricky Ponting. Prior to that I am all agreement; Brian Lara was the greatest batsman over that portion of his career.
And he is a joy to watch. And he has received more than his fair share of poor judgement from Umpires.
