Only introduced for those ol farts who think they still have a section in the spot light[}:)]
Won't take off here in Aus, best will be two seasons. Not enough return on investment to go National.

The boxing day test is bit of a tradition , along with the start of the yacht race .

Never take as much notice of the other tests , I think it's just a part of the Xmas thing for me

The only thing that changed today for me was the lack of a old crackly am radio to listen to the cricket on . Had to settle for TV

there were a few exciting overs and moments through out the days play but on the whole it was not as one has come to expect of the day. I thought that a few of the decisions were a bit crook but it swings in rounder bouts. A shame Warner gloved one - he was looking like he was going to set the day on fire early on until the rain ruined his concentration.

Can NOT listen to or stand the commentary on Ch 9 (except maybe Richie B, if he's ever on)
Will only watch & listen to ABC radio commentary - it's just that thing, part of the summer ritual

Kerry O'Keith was in vintage form today - when the debutant got to 28 and it was 2 for 99 - the 50 partnership was up and Ponting gave the new boy a big hand shake and Kerry stated that given it was such a warm greeting for the 50 partnership that by the time Cowan got to 50 it would be all kisses and if he made a 100 it would be adults only viewing - I almost drove off the road!!!!

Ted , Kerry Okeefe is a very funny bastard !!!!! His laugh when he gets it going is one of the pleasures in life !

I think it's funny because he is laughing at his own jokes mostly .!!!... It's a bloody crack up

The radio commentary is better as other people have said. Channel 9 was driving me bl00dy crazy yesterday.

If you have the volume up loud enough to listen to the cricket properly you get blown out of your seat after every over. Why do the adverts have to be so loud?

Good to see Ponting put in a reasonable performance and Cowan looks very promising. Hilf is very amusing just now. It's like watching 20-20.

Today I thought we ( the australians ) may have started to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat .
But no , I think defeat may be again snatched from the jaws of victory .

Last Night, Bookmakers were paying $2.00 for Australia, and $1.85 for India.
Aussie public on holidays drinking beer tightened things into $1.95 (AUS), and $1.90 (IND). The Draw at $41.00 remains unchanged.

Looking like a close game this one. Go Aussies!
I dont mind watching a little bit of cricket or playing a bit of street/beach cricket but no effin way would I play it seriously. I remember growing up in Perth and heading to to the beach on a 40C day hoping for a wave and seeing these poor buggers baking in the middle of a paddock chasing a red ball around. I avoided the game like the plague when at school, all I wanted to do on the weekends was surf!

When Laxman dropped, you could still get on Australia for $1.55. Not sure why I didn't jump on board to be honest....

Now it's $1.10 & $7.00, and $101.00 for a draw.

Hilfie & Siddle were just having a nice long chat about how to hold the ball, and which way to hold it to make it swing the best.
