I have logged onto the Online Commentry. It really has improved since last year.
This over was a classic.

27.6 Anderson to Ponting, FOUR, it was too good to last. Ponting whips this through the leg side, sweetly timed, but this is men against boys at the moment. That's 20 off Anderson's first two overs since lunch
27.5 Anderson to Ponting, no run, at last Anderson manages a dot ball
27.4 Anderson to Langer, 1 run, Langer doesn't quite get hold of this but it still produces a run
27.3 Anderson to Langer, FOUR, Langer is feasting on this. Wide and smeared to the cover boundary. Anderson shakes his head, as well he might. Expect another complaint about the ball ...
Security Rottweilers confiscate an inflatable balloon that was clearly threatening public order
27.2 Anderson to Ponting, 1 run, Pushed into the leg side
Another moan about the ball.
27.1 Anderson to Langer, 1 leg bye, squirted behind square on the leg side for a single

I bought mine outright, $55 retail is still cheaper than buying 2 slabs of VB at closer to $70!

Beer during cricket is a necessity, but there is better around than VB! I got homebrew stocks for the summer...

I agree 30487256, Watson can make it IMO.

Great first day by the Aussies, Ponting again proves he is a star and Hussey does enough to threaten to increase his Test average even more!

I went to the Cricket today, I sat with the Fanatics, I witnessed many people get ejected including the trumpet player from the Barmy Army, I participated in singing for the aussies, or against the poms, and i Witnessed the said inflatable ball get nailed by the security agent.. they were just no fun... I also witnessed a Beer cup boony tash... which the "Boony Army" were constructing until a policeman kindly asked them to desist.

All in all, a fanastic day, and good sports award goes to Hoggard for playing up to the crowd... whilst we were giving him hell

Oh, and i should add, some of the ladies there looked spectacular in their australian shirts... !!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see monty panesar bowl. Hopefully the english selectors will pick him instead of giles for the next test.

Hours of fun playing Stick Cricket ... I miss the 12th Man Commentary when it was sponsored by KFC last season though ... I hope they bring it back

Ponting would have to be one of the most in form batsmen in the world at the moment, he has the knack to put in a good innings consistantly
