It's not as bad as this - my photo from Sydney Cricket Ground, 4 January 2004:

and, while I'm at it, for the purists, Steve Waugh at wicket, on his home ground, SCG, 4 January 2004, in his last test:

I was there that day!


27 wickets have to fall in 2 days for a result in this test. Can't see it happening. India's tactics were a bit hard to understand yesterday, considering they need a win to draw the series. By not making a declaration earlier, they've virtually assured a draw.

Of course! Wilso and I (and several thousand others!) were sitting not far from that scoreboard!

Shaun Tait retires? What the heck! He was one of my recent heroes.

Too sad. Just hope he kicks back in real time.

The kind of treatment he got at Perth Test, I think he should retire (at least for the time being). But that's not the top story for today. The top story is...

IT'S T20 MATCH B/W INDIA AND AUSSIES TOMORROW

Can't wait for it! :wink:

India just made mockery of itself. What was that? Playing like they can't loose. What a joke?

Australia just outplayed them in every thing. Batting, fielding, bowling everything. Well played Aussies.

20/20 is not exactly a game indicative of much. It's more a game for the fans than anything else. Even Bangladesh can beat India or Australia on the right day.

You know what? You're right!

Although, I would've loved if India had beaten Australia. :wink:

New "do" (a bit fierce!) and not much inside?

It's a bit scary - this is the chap they're talking about moving up to the most important unelected position in Australia.

Micheal Clarke is a talented young leader, I always thought, but his choice of his missus raised a red flag as to his ability to take sound decisions.

My auto mechanic's name is Mick Clarke. He's a rough head too.

Duckworth - Lewis is playing. Not sure who's side he is on.

Poor shopw by the indian bats I thought.
