Rocky Rockstar Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 We need to make winning the toss count. Ponting has royally f*cked up the last two by choosing to bat first & being skittled out for under 200, and then choosing to bowl first and finding himself 400+ runs down. We must not make the same mistake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
