Well done to make a cliffhanger of a last day and congrats to both sides who put in.
...and yes. It's time to go Ponting, Haddin and Johnson.
I hope Ponting impales himself on his bat, or his giant ego explodes and kills him.
Great player but what a rooster.

First non Australian coach for Australia. Looks like a good hand, hopefully he's got better luck than Robbie Deans.
Phil Hughes, what a crab, get dropped, then next ball, play the same shot to the same ball and get caught where you just got dropped. Pillock.
2.2 overs to complete the run chase. 23 tests since Australia were beaten at the Gabba.
He made the decision on who gets dropped for Watson an easy one.
I wish we put as much effort into cricket as they did 20 years ago. We used to be good but professional rugby has sucked away all the talent.
Well done, lads.

Heaps more money in cricket, now that Twenty20 has taken off you don't need to be playing test cricket (or even any form of first class cricket if you're Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Hathew Hayden etc) to still be raking in the coin playing in IPL and big bash tournaments.
AFL is still mostly winning the battle for multi talented 18 year old kids here, but the odd one (Geoff Marsh's youngest bloke springs to mind) has cottoned on that you can play for 20 years, travel the world and be well paid for it.
He's a midget, jockeys like to hang around him so they look normal, maybe he's got an eye on the mini flyweight title...
