The Outsider Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 ....if he had bowled the likes of Clarke and Symonds when and for as long as Ponting did. It was alright from a long term perspective of avoiding a ban, but really in the context of the match it could well turn out to be a match turning session. The likes of fineleg and dandaroy would have had a field day. Link to comment

arkay Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Could have had pacer one end and spinner on the other end. That way, he could have tried to push for wkt one end, but also rush through overs in the other end. Link to comment
