Me too, I did look at picking him, maybe I should have, however they are doing great so far without him!

You reckon losing Warne might affect the Aussies spirit?

I sincerely hope so - they're crumbling now - need Ponting to sort them out unless they're to not feck this one up.

Ponting is now the key, if they lose him they could be well fecked.

He's a convict. He's playing well. He's a cnut.

Kin Symonds - the man who turned down the chance (??!! :) ) to play for England.

Time for Ul Haq. This is a decent score the convicts are in the process of posting. They'll win this I think.

Pakinstan have fecked up big time after a good start.

GM should take a couple early to set up a win me thinks.

Symonds with 143 not out, bloody brilliant!

Hopefully McGrath will get a few wickets and Ul-Haq some runs.

With Symonds in that kind of form I'm not so pissed off that Saqlain didn't play now, although I did drop McGrath for him!

Can't see Pakistan getting this total without a solid start. I think they can't lose more than 2 wickets for the first 100 - 150 runs.

Holland tomorrow! Cmon Ganguly and Dravid - if they even get to the crease which I doubt they will.

And just found out that Ganguly (who used to play for Hounslow :eek: ) opens the batting for India. Nice one for me and my team, but why they bat Tendulkar at 4 is unbelievable. He should be opening imo.

He is the rock that the others bat around. 3 depending on match situation.

I prefer cricket.org as they have ball by ball descriptions as well as reloading and stuff.

Despite Nate's laughter, I haven't done too bad today. 50 for Ponting and a couple of wickets for Shoaib.

OK, it's not like my TONderful start but it keeps me ticking over until I can change Warne for whoever.

Got it but either my connection's up and down today or it's a slow site - it keeps not finding the url and needing manual refreshing. Furthermore whilst I had it working I'm sure it credited that second wicket to McGrath which got me all excited.........then I looked at my trusty link and saw it was Lee who got it!

Knowing my luck old man Lefebvre will start playing like he was when he started out at Somerset and ensure that Kumble hits a century and takes 8 wickets!
