All things Cricket.

rofl, yea that was a but scrubish.

Can NZ hold on for at least another session?

Heart says "yes, bloody oath they can!"
Head says "you're a fuckin dreamer Mathieson. You know they'll be all out in the first session tomorrow and aus will have it wrapped up by tea."

I'm sure one of these days Vettori is going to snap after a top order collapse and just leave, never to return. I mean he must be the strongest son of a bitch going around in cricket these days, carrying 10 guys every game must be tough.

soon vettori will be opening the batting and the bowling as well

Vettori opened the bowling with Chris (I increased my batting average from 2.28 to 2.35 against the #1 test team in the world) Martin. Mind you this was mainly because Bennett pulled up lame after the first innings and 'the fat man' is also unable to bowl leaving NZ with 1 Pace bowler (Martin) and 2 1/2 spinners (Danny Boy, Patel and Williamson).

Couldn't believe my eyes when Raina was caught at slip with the score reading 15/5! and what was more unbelievable was that Vettori had no wickets. Looking forward to watching the boys run through the tail enders and having a go at winning the test.

Ahhh nothing better than test cricket, fuck you 20/20.

haha yeah, i always enjoyed watching test matches... sitting around for hours doing shit all.

At one point when i use to play cricket, i knocked my bat in whilst watching. For those unaware u knock a new bat in so that it strengthens the wood grains or w/e

Shame i wont be here to watch the ashes..ill be playing cod IRL

Im going to the ashes in brisbane.. starts in about 2.5 weeks

Hard to say. 2/100 odd atm.

Why is North in the team? Is there no one else?

Hussey looking good but I fell he'll be left stranded.

Tim, there's 400 young blokes stinging for a go.

Callum Ferguson, Usman Kwaja, fuck Brad Hodge would kill these poms and he's fuckin 37.

Has Ferguson been injured? I really liked the look of him when he played in the Chappell/Hadlee a year or two ago.

Brad Hodge must have slept with one of Aussie Crickets 'higher ups' wives or something, as he only gets picked when there are a bunch of injuries.

Probably racists, Hodge is a strong wog. Literally straining my brain, trying to think of the last wog picked in an Aussie team.

What was Jason 'Krazy' Kretzja, apart from expensive? (have no idea how to spell his name).

Roy was an Abo. Was he just a 'quota' player?

Jimmy Anderson can't catch a break at the moment, had Hussey plum and has beaten the bat on quite a few occasions. No doubt Hussey will make a big score and really rub salt into the wound.


"I don't like cricket ah,


oh no,


I love it!" - good old 10CC (Top band)

i dont like reggae.... oh no..... i love it

Yesterday they split us up into 3 groups, instead of 1 huge group. which was stupid! we had a heap of us sitting behind the barmy army which was heaps fun. they have songs, and we have nothing besides "aussie aussie aussie. oi oi oi". i started one of those aussie aussie aussie chants too over the top of the barmy army's singing for the lolz.

"ohhhhhh jimmy jimmy.... jimmy jimmy jimmy jimmy anderson"
"stuart broaaad.. stuart broaaad.. hes big! hes bad! hes better than his dad! its stuart broaaad"

The guy that leads the barmy army, the old tanned guy, with the white hat they usually show on the cricket show at some point.. His first involvement of the day, he randomly stands up.. turns around.. gains their attention.. and goes "ladies and gentlemen. Its five minutes to 11. Could you all stand for Englands national anthem." and then they sung God save the Queen. Theres alot of pride

they did their first "barmy army barmy army barmy army" chant at about 0/80 yesterday. And you know they don't stop chanting until they get a wicket. out of nowhere england starts getting half chances and then get shane watson out lbw (only to be appealed by the aussies ). it was pretty cool, because they were chanting and clapping non stop for 15 minutes. barmy army. barmy army, barmy army.. we were standing up clapping and singing 'bowling warnie. bowling warnie. bowling warnie'

Congrats Beer.

I'll be honest, I didn't even realise you were on the Aussie selectors radar. A master of all trades for sure.

Never heard of him aye, hopefully he can turn it off the straight line, unlike all our other 'tweakers'

random team is random

howcome they wouldnt drop north earlier.. imagine if Brad Hodge was in his spot the past 2 years

never really liked bred hodge but his alright
and lucky for clarky he played well in the last innings or he could of been put out
