Remind me 2 look up a cricket link - more massive scores but not exactly the 'script' many expected 4 the farewell test of Mr Waugh ... click {Looks like my 'funny feeling' was just a few days premature }

Oh yes, almost forgot ... the farewell script for Mr Waugh was not bad ... in fact they said it was his best ever score in a 4th innings situation ... a little surprising (for someone who's played 168 Tests) but we have been so dominant I suppose there haven't been too many times he would have batted under pressure in a 4th innings ... here's more ...
