Knowing Harmison's accuracy, he was probably aiming for the stumps.

That's not just a cut. That's a cut with a bruise around it. Happened to me in grade cticket. Hurt like a bitch. Imagine at the pace of harmison.

@BarnabyJones101 His side also beat England 5-0. but people tend to forget that now

@MrBen51309 now i have seen some funny comments before, but that takes the cake, funny and just so fucken true.

@BarnabyJones101 Let's see you do any better. At least he can make a national team.

Don't like Ponting at all.

Respect him enormously.

@MrBen51309 I was drinking a glass of water. And you sir just made me spit a little bit on my laptop because that was so funny

as an aussie never understood resentment others felt against ponting. In top 3 batsmen of our generation (behind sachin, and I'd say equal at least to lara), ferocious competitor and tough as fuck. Batted, and scored well, many times with broken ribs and/or fingers. Only now realising others havn't appreciated that tough ferocity, and maybe how that comes across. However would prefer someone constantly wearing his heart on his sleeve, than say a chris gayle wearing diamonds in his ears

The ball hit Tony Grieg's car keys and smacked Ponting in the head. The good news is that now Tony gets to drive home tonight.

@longie1201 would you mate? really? 3 innings defeats at home? 100,000 people at the G at the start of boxing day, only the English fans left at the end. All out for under 100 and england 50 ahead without loss. Most embarrassing, one sided day in test cricket history. But you wouldn't have seen how shameful last summer was, I imagine you watched Siddle's hattrick and then pretty much turned off the TV and pretended it wasnt happening. Fair weather fans - Australians do it best.
