We'll Have A Bat...

A green and menacing-looking pitch...overcast conditions, rain all morning, rain the day before...yep, "We'll have a bat". Another great call from the Captain, just plain unlucky to start off 3/10, eventually getting skittled for a paltry 127. After talking up a return to world cricket domination following the First Test victory, I think we all had that uneasy feeling...How is it that the Captain of Australia makes decisions like this that every park cricketer and armchair expert in the land could tell you are horribly wrong? That's downright embarrassing. And no matter what Chappelli says, there is no way known that Steve Waugh bats on this minefield. I can't believe that at 7/77 Chappelli was saying that it was a 50/50 call whether to bat first on this pitch and that batting first was not necessarily the wrong decision. 7/77! Pakistan without their best bowler Aamer in the bowling attack! The old tosser's finally lost it. There's no way known that even Kim Hughes would bat on this deck. So you could make a case that even the blubbering Kim Hughes was a better Captain than Ponting is. Surely this is it. This must be the end of the line for the Ponting reign of fucktardedness. In any working profession, if you are shit at your job, you either don't have any business/clients or you get fired. Ponting is doing a shit job. So fire his ass for fuck's sake! We'll have a fucking bat indeed.
