It makes a change from him being compared to Bradman.

Which I expect we'll see in SSPFSP tomorrow.

Thats true.

But I don't think Ponting was speaking from stats perspective. He was more talking about Hughes' approach towards run making which obviously looked a bit similar to that of Sehwag's in this innings.

Even though the sample size is small, his S/r in tests is strikingly inferior to that of Sehwag. And probably thats why its bit futile to compare Hughes' style with Sehwag on the basis of 1 innings.

About Fuse -

if you took Bradman, and grafted on Sehwag and a bit of Lara,

you'd have a bloody mess, wouldn't you?

So, Phews got some runs did he? Absolutely wonderful news Wink

Seems bowlers from Australasia and South Africa don't know how to bowl to him.

He were a bit lucky. Many streaky shots, dropped off a sitter at 2nd slip.

Wasn't it Watling who dropped the catch? Think he only got a finger tip to it, so it was a half chance.

Why didn't I back Ollie to score a ton, and throw the mortgage on an Australian win?

It is more dangerous giving him modding privileges than tac

He deserves it

Poor JGK . . . .

He's a banker, don't feel too sorry for him.

particularly if he really does back his woofing predictions
