The seat looks very BMWish. Size is big..could it be an older 7 or 5 as it does not have the center DVD screen.

I thought it was a brave decision by Ponting to declare knowing what happened at Perth. But then, this is what we need in the Test matches and I believe the decision will give him the desired result.

One more wicket for Australia and its 2-1.

Spitfire · 7th January 2009, 11:53

Smith comes into bat. Very good match indeed. Still 119 away from Victory.

Gutsy Smith bats with fractured finger. Will SA last 4 more overs?

This match look's to exciting to me.

Ponting has won the bet !!

If Ponting had delayed for 10 deliveries, the match would have been a draw.

Thats true, he has resigned due to rift with board officials overthe coach issue.

Yes they won but i loved SA spirit to fight till the end and hats off to Smith for trying to save the test despite being injured. If he was fit i dont think Ponting could have won the bet!

Hats off to Smith for coming on to bat even with an injured elbow & a broken hand. Now that is never say die attitude!

And as for England, both KP & their coach Peter Moores have resigned.

David Warner smashing it all over the park.

Delhi Daredevils bought just a few days ago. Smart choice !!!!

Two absolutely stunning matches today.

One was the Aus Vs SA match where SA were cruising along comfortably towards a win and then a sudden middle order collapse turned the match in Australia's favor but Albie Morkel saw SA through to a much needed win after two T20 losses.

The other match was Srilanka Vs Bangladesh. Srilanka almost lost the cup when Muralidharan came and played to cameo to save their blushes. A fantastic match and well played Bangladesh!! . Would you believe that at one stage Srilanka were 6/5 . Yes, they lost the first 5 wickets for 6 runs .

And the third one was the last day of the Ranji Trophy final. Less interesting though since only formalities were left and Mumbai won comfortably.
