The Ghost of Ponting

What happened to the English batsman yesterday? What happened to England yesterday?

The answer is a truly disappointing answer. The English were skittled out for 102 runs their lowest at home against the Aussies since 1997. With four ducks in the English innings, the English lasted for 33.5 overs. Peter Siddle and Clark ripped through the English as they shared 8 wickets within themselves.


Ponting yet again showed his class and appears to catch up with Tendulkar at an alarming rate. To make matters worse, Ponting averages over 100 at Headingley. His previous scores of 127, 144, 72 and 78 sure do speak a tale by themselves. He maybe back in the dressing room for now but the English are sure to be wondering about the second innings.

With the Aussies at 196/4 in just the 47th over cruising at over 4 runs per over, I just wonder whether this be the test where Australia draw alongside the English without Flintoff?
The answer to this question is simple. The answer is "God save the Queen".
