Flamingo or Pelican...?

It does not matter...they are both AWESOME in their full flow...

The second day belonged, perhaps England owned it..KP batted wonderfully, he is a completely different batsman then any other I have seen from England...

His characterization of respect is limited to the delevery and has nothing to do with pitch or the bowler or the situation... thats what makes him great...

I remember Warner bowling to Tendulkar around the wicket...everyone though it was negative..but Sachin took up the challenge, changed his stance a little and started sweeping, paddling the ball on the on side...when Warne realised that he varied his lenght and what did Sachin do...stared cutting, pulling, driving him all over the park...

Bowling round the wicket is NOT negative, it is within the rules and brings up different permutations as well as differential appalication of technique, both mentally and physically

There are no freebies...however, KP has to take to challenge, improvise, so far he has been patient, but England have had a wonderful day, they have kept Australia on the field for more than a day...last time the Aussies went without a wicket for an entire day was when Laxman and Dravid massacared them..at Calcutta...

Anyone doing good against the Aussies is good for me...two beers down and one and ha half session to go...KP and Coliingwood wonderful batting...
