Once again,.I'm so glad to be proved wrong. I have to admit, I wouldn't
have put money on a Symonds hundred if I'd been offered 20-1 as
recently as yesterday, and he's done it in some style, not when the
going has been easy but when it required patience. He even raised it in
his own style with a six.

You beauty!

It's been great to watch the pair of them. How they can leave Hayden out of
the one-dayers beats me.

yes, apart from the 5-7 lives between them from the umpires, they were
very well deserved hundreds. but then you could say that about all the
'aussie greats', no?

hayden seems like he has been on sedatives with his leaden feet
movements, one of the most over-rated batsmen in the modern game whose
career has been helped along by the sorts of decisions we have seen in
this match. how he has continued to be in an international side is
beyond me. only partisan aussie fans can go on with the fiction of his
greatness.

These days, I'd have Langer in front of Hayden to open the one dayers.

They've both been a touch lucky -- Hayden much more than Roy, although
Roy's luck was only arguable on replay -- on first viewing he could
easily have nicked it onto the pad, and there was no clear view of how
much bounce there was.

I can't imagine there's too many international cricketers who wouldn't love
to look back on a career with 27 100s.
I wonder how many centuries he would have had if he'd been picked all those
years when he should have been in the side.
Like all players he's had his share of bad and lucky decisions over the
years - no more or less than anyone else I suspect.

I thought his innings was excellent.  So what if he should have been
out several times?  It makes no difference.  He saw off the England
attack early on, then stabilized the innings, then plundered.

...and yes, very nice one Roy, as well.  Maybe an even better knock
than Hayden's.

Hayden's was hardly a one day style innings.

The big issue for the umpire on that one was how close it was to the
foot and front pad.
With the bat swiping across his vision there's really no way he could
have been sure that it hadn't hit the foot or clipped the pad, in
which case he wouldn't have had enough time after the bounce to judge
the turn of the ball.
