What Ponting described as "a huge blunder" might well have altered the result, not only of this Test but the whole series.

The old ball and the exchanged one were wayyyy different from each other., with the newer, shinier ball looking nothing like the old one.

Immediately after the change, the English bowlers plundered, with the newer ball hooping all over the shop.

The Test and series results won't be changed but there must be repercussions on the 2 umpires. Appalling decision, presided over by (presumably) both umps.

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D

The 2 balls were nothing like each other.

One was worn out a heap and the other one was brand new.

Hey I know - let's NOT give Neser a run, but... how about let's keep on picking the NSW Pie-Throwing Champions in Cummins, Hazlewood and Starc?!
