Nice game this one – England did a lot better than last few. Denley and Morgan look like decent batsmen, so good for team. Their fielding wasn’t really up to par though = gave away a lot of runs.

Old Hussey isn’t doing much this series ey? I don’t agree with Windigo about Bracken. I don’t know about his ‘best bowler’ title either, but I think he is a very good ODI bowler. He is consistent and mixes up his deliveries. I don’t think he’ll get many big hauls, but usually gets a couple and usually for lowish runs. Not looking at his stats right now, but I think he def. deserves to be in the team.

A special well done to Ponting. He has been under a lot of media scrutiny after the Ashes and he has kept his head together and showed he still has the passion to score runs. Hope he keeps playing for a long time. lol at the commentator’s call on that straight drive six “best shot ever!”. hehe I personally think his inside out six over extra cover was better – at least I think that was Ponting.

Thx Admin again,

England is simply rubbish.They were lucky enough to win the Ashes even though all the top scorers and wicket takers were Australians.

It’s hell. I’m getting roasted. Just kidding. But then, men/women were born to suffer weren’t they? – Admin

I’m just not a big Bracken fan.

As always, you are the absolute best for taking the time to edit these so well so that people like me out of country can watch and get our cricket fix. Can’t thank you enough.

Did not think Oz would get to 300 after a very solid performance from the Poms but Ponting made it happen mostly on his own. Great cricket and ODI at its best.

Have been sour on Bracken for a while now. For someone occasionally referred to as the best ODI bowler going I happen to think he is anything but, conceding some very expensive overs.

A comment re Daily Motion clip quality: very jumpy and jerky even in HD, unfortunately, so one cannot see the fine details of the great strokeplay much of the time.

But I will take it any way I can get it and be extremely grateful besides.

THANKS AGAIN!

Hey Windigo, thanks. Actually Dailymotion gets better a few hours after the clip has been processed. So later viewers will actually get a better quality clip in HQ. The old place Sapo, while doing a fantastic job with the processing time and immediate quality was slow, while youtube is unreliable as happened here on the final day of the Ashes where an hour later it got booted – Admin

I also love your site Admin. It’s a godsend for cricket fanatics like me. It’s not just random clips, your highlights are very well made with the right cricketing perspective. Without doubt you make the best highlights I’ve ever seen. You also have a calm and smart attitude to go along with it.

I’m hoping that you never get a job because you’ll stop doing this. Hehe just kidding. All the best to you in what ever you do. God bless.

Oh no Ramesh. Why ever would I want to get a real job. That would be plain tragic – Admin

Hey doatana – the comments are moderated since the last few months, so posting under my name is not going to appear live. But yes, I am lazy. That’s why I have a cricket highlights site. Else it would be a live streaming site, right – heh – Admin

I really appreciate what you are doing. Three cheers to you and keep up the good work.

Finally, one request.
whenever possible please do not edit out the slow motion replays of shots played/wickets etc. I love watching the perfected shots played by for eg tendulkar and may be there are others who share my thoughts.

Laxmanfan – so am I.
Thanks. I would agree if you said my highlights have improved a little over the last year, but the stuff about the content I think is a little overboard, cos I don’t expect anyone to be reading it – it’s there as a space filler. Anyway thanks.

Am limited to an extent by the time of each clip, and so put replays of shots based on match context, time, eventual match total and of course, a good deal of player bias. But will try to increase the time of each clip whenever possible – Admin

Puntaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
