Langer's was a fluke dismissal and Ponting has a real problem of getting too far outside the straight one, great batting by Haydos and Marto...gee we Aussies are creative with our nicknames

Go AUSSIES.....wow!wow! these guys are just unbelieveable....

[oracle]

Kinda sad that here I am at dead of night following a batsman about to beat the crap out of a dying team. The only consolation I can think of is that our team got out fast and with some face before these guys started with their real business. Sujon is so so lucky.:P
