On the topic of Shaun Tait (a paceman=fast bowler);

Ponting said: "He knows we want him and need him to run in, bowl fast and try to get wickets for us. That is the way he will be used in this Test match.

Really, who'da thunk it? I was thinking they wanted him to make the tea, and those excellent little cucumber sandwiches...:p

Pontings good...but Brett Lee is amazing.

He's a great all-rounder. He can bowl well, bat well, and field well.

I remember watching an Aussie vs India match a while back (a year ago?), and he caught the ball 0.6s after it went off Tendulkar's bat. he got tendulkar out of course with that catch. But it was an amazing catch. They even timed it to show that it was 0.6s. that's an amazing reaction time!
