If Hayden fails to make any decent score he should go.
Langer has a couple of matches left to prove himself.

Jacques needs to come into the team.

It has been great stuff.
Monty had an outstanding day. Mahmood is quick, but loose.
A good game coming.

Good question !!!!!

This game is well and truly on. The Warne factor in the 4th innings can not be ignored.

With hindsight my reason for playing Gilo in Brisbane because of bounce looks a bit off the mark with Monty bowling 2 ordinary deliveries but because of bounce he gets them

Fat Boy Warne has got to remove his finger or be moved to an old mans spot on the field.
Clarke will snap him up early tomorrow.

It's criminal that Monty didn't play in the 1st test either.

I dont get it, surely then you cant call the first two 'iffy' if they agreed with hawkeye. Yes, they are borderline, but obviously it cannot be complained about, not like they were going to miss by a mile.

3rd decision was bad, but McGrath isnt the best bat in the world, I mean certainly wouldnt have had the effect the same the decision against Strauss had last game.

Hawkeye - A brilliant tool which I think is very accurate.

Ponting - Looked not out
Lee - He got a long long way forward

The letter of the law says benefit of the doubt to the batter. Now hawkeye says clipping the bails then surely there must be some doubt.

I think that 6/10 times those decisions will go the way of the batter and no one would have questioned the ump if he said not out.

The decisions were not wrong the ump thought out so out it is - they just could have gone either way so that is why I say iffy.
