Proberbly wanted a lighter profile for the bouncier track at Perth

Thought it might have been a case of change your bat change your luck

Couldn't care less

Stats don't mean everything.

Cook looks solid, Strauss easing his way back into things.

Scroll down a bit to click on the youtube link for Collingwood's catch - unbelievable. The man is a hero and for it to be Ponting makes it even sweeter!

And if you want a still shot of the catch:

that was a blinder, Collingwoods such a class fielder

Why post then? No really?

Glenn McGrath has 2 FC 50's, is he better than James Anderson as a batsman who has neither?

Anderson may well have a couple for 50's by the time he retires though.

[Jeet]

If someone with no shots like Dizzy Gillespie can score a double ton, there's hope for everyone.

On a side note, the decline of Ponting is very sad to witness. Once he was the most feared batsman around, I'd stay more feared than Hayden, Gilchrist, Sehwag, Gayle etc.

I wonder if he regrets not retiring after the WC2007?

[Rik]

Stay up lovers99! Keep the test interesting!

[Riddy]

gutted for prior... worst way to get out

[Johnny]

he didn't look very comfortable against the short stuff to be honest. Maybe because with men out on the hook he couldn't go after it
