Well I don't wanna tempt fate (although you wouldn't know it!), but I'd say Big Dunc would be the slightly happier of the coaches. Good effort from Oz & especially Hussey to get to 252 after being 62-4 tho.

 Adam Gilchrist first season in Australia a few one in famous Bellerive test
 BRAD HOGG AT POINT FOR WA VERSUS UNKNOIWN AROUND 1997 SHIELD GAME AT WACA In 1995-96, he also claimed what some commentators still affectionately dub 'the catch of the century' - diving horizontally to his left to grasp the remains of a full-blooded cut shot from South Australia's Paul Nobes.
 he has often thrilled fans in Perth with his ability to produce the unpredictable, perhaps the best example of this found in a series of wickets and sensational catches in the final two matches of Western Australia's title-winning 1999-2000 Mercantile Mutual Cup campaign.
 And or mike Hussey at point
 Murray Goodwin

australia will win. they are better prepared than yesterday and hav 5 bowlers. that will make up their 50 overs
Really? The only preparation they had this morning was being stuck at the hotel because their bus was blocked in - or was it that that the coach was stuck?

Dwayne Bravo took one down here that I thought was incredible too. Same with Ponting, can't remember who against but it was at midwicket at full stretch. Not to mention Glenn's in the Ashes a while ago.

But about the match, my finger has been hovering over the mute button for a while now, geez these Poms back themselves. Don't know who said it, but after Collingwood's catch, they said something about being the best team ever. Settle down, you're not even the best team in the stadium. Also, about this underrating of our bowling attack, we aren't doing it to you. We're giving credit to your bowler (not a typo btw), so give our bowlers some respect. Just on that, Harmison is a star.

McGrath, Kasper &.........sorry, I've gone blank! :D
how silly of you. you're forgetting gillespie. he's the one with the better average, strike rate and economy rate than all the english strike bowlers (excluding lewis, seeing as how he's played one game)

OMG! MacGill and Kerry O'Keefe are ABSOLUTELY horrible commentating on this match panel on channel 7. I thought Brendon Julian was bad, but they are ridiculously crap. Its unbearable. I may switch back to Fox Sports simply to avoid these idiots.

Better prepared to defend the total because they have the 5 recognised bowlers rather than the 4 they had yesterday

Actually, Harmison's SR is now better than Gillespies

and you could have excluded Lewis on the grounds he isn't a strike bowler

Yeah, was at the ground (MCG) that day to see the catch: it was off Adam Gilchrist I think, and he was (or at least seemed to be) about five metres from the bat. Still, Collingwood's catch must surely be one of the very best.

So's Freddie's, with those two wickets he got gifted. :)
