equatorDuring the Ashes the fact that Australia had made the majority of the hundreds was mentioned about 382,095 times.
Australia lost the Ashes.
Now Australia find themselves up in the series.
But with no centuries.
Surely the only way to win this test was to not make hundreds.
Simon and Shane understood this.
Their sacrifice was for the greater good.
Ponting didn’t even get that far, he decided to leave the field before there was even a chance of making a hundred.
There is only one man who can ruin this though, one man who would bleed for Australia, but will also bleed just as much to keep his spot for Australia.
M Hussey.
His 81 could easily turn into a hundred at his home ground.
And then what you ask?
A four horseman style loss for Australia, that is what.
He must be stopped.
Plus, wouldn’t it be cool, and slightly insane, if a team won a three test series without making a hundred.
It would almost mean bowlers are less impotent.

actually, one could say that this is the 80+ average Hussey. the sound off his bat yesterday was sensational.
It is like out of indian batsman who do just enough to get selected again and pissing of half the population except bengal.
I rather see some young bloke that old hussey accumulating runs for his century and his inflated averages. Please retire hussey. Enough already.
Bring new kid. You do not see young indian indian team as this fab four or fab five never leave unless someone kick them out. And sachin will never be kicked out until he makes 50 centuries in TESTS and ODI even with last breath. it is ugly.
I rather see more umar akmal type who bat like he follows sehwagology
My english is going bad bad every day…please do not try to understand what i said. Haha. It is pain.
Hussey sacrifices himself for the greater good. Under fire from Warnie and still will throw away a century to make sure the team wins.
Has there ever been a better team man? No wonder the selectors keep picking him even when he doesn’t score.
Huss isn’t on top of hs game, but seriously- Averaging fifty in this series and finishing the Ashes with a ton, he’s clawed back a bit…
Even tho he looks a bit shit and unconvincing at the crease, I reckon he’s been that way since the second ashes test in Australia and in that series he averaged 90 odd, followed by 140 odd againsl SL and nearly 50 against India…
Wouldn;t surprise me if he retires at the end of this series OR plays for another 3 years averaging 50
Mission accomplished. Target has been achieved
wait a min.. what is Haddin onto here..
Mock Wah´s last blog ..B.B.O.T.D. – THE LESSER KNOWNS
Haddin and North both throw it away according to the gameplan. That is the type of discipline that will have them back on top of the ratings.
i feel like Gayle captaincy is not upto mark. West Indies players look like zombies and running out time. Ponting gave a reprieve to gayle. Now lets see Gayle play well.
I doubt West inides play well. I have a bad feeling about west indies.
7 more runs required for the world record to be broken, the highest score with no century. And ponting robbed aussie of the record.
Gayle Batting is upto Mark. he is going crazy like sehwag on steroids as of now.. it only show aussie bowling really sucks now.
Ponting do not know who he turns to for first wicket. I still think once Gayle out Aussie can clamp it down if they can get Gayle 120ish He is not 83 and smacking everything..
Great hundred from a true Warrior. Big reaction from the crowd when a least one WA boy got a hundred.
You could portion a far amount of blame for a lot of Australia’s recent losses on Hussey. The guy is a champion at instigating a collapse. Averaging 50 against the WI attack on Roadelaide and Perth is not match winning. Retire so that freak Watson can move down the order and get a specialist up the top
Hussey looked great yesterday, but I agree with poopsie. Hussey was godawful for ages and the middle order stability is in no way helped by Punter’s dodgy form.
And can we ‘rest’ Mitch for the next series? Watching our opening bowler pissing the new ball up the wall is getting exhausting.
Of course, rest him only if there is any other bowlers on more than one leg.
didn’t mitch bowl some absolute puss yesterday. someone needs to get his eyes checked as he obviously can’t see the cut surface or the stumps at the other other end.
and mightily impressed with dowlin. he’s got a first class record that only a mother could think is good but he’s got guts, tons of them, in fact so much mitch johnson would drown in them if he was cut open. i was hoping he’d go on and get a ton..
