All things Cricket.

Loving this all star game. Gilly my favorite player of all time, can't wait to see him bat. He'll either get a duck or go 150 off 70.

what about mcgrath!?! putting the ball on the spot.. and started with 2 overs, 1 maiden, 1 for 4

cricket is the worlds worst sport.

best thread ever. i heart cricket. i should have probably authored this thread.

Then GTFO.

Fuckin ohh ahh was red hot all night. Loved how the commentators were talkin to the players out in the field. I met Gilly on Aust day last year, he's a fuck mad dawg. Prob see him again next year.

Whats happened with Ponting?

hes old.

I'd just like to say that I would have Sachin Tendulkars babies. He's 35/36 and has been playing some amazing cricket over the last year or so, which is great to watch.

Test series V the Pakis starts today. As always my hopes will be high and then get dashed with a major batting collapse or a hundred run stand by the Paki 10 and 11 (Gillespie/McGrath stand still gives me nightmares). Interested to see how Bondy goes in his return to Test cricket.

I love having the cricket playing in the background on weekends.

haha, as I'm writing this a wicket. well left Chris Gayle.

Wooo! a Test win and away from home (technically). Gutted when Danny boy was dismissed for 99, as he is an absolute legend and really deserves any success he gets. Bondy getting 8 in his return test was great to see, aswell as Taylor getting 94 and 59 (he needs to convert those to big hundreds).

I am still in favour of Chris Martin opening the batting. We always lose an early wicket (or 3), so why not get his innings (and I use the term loosely) out of the way.

Anyway a great Test to watch with it going right down to the last session on the fifth and final day, where both teams could have won it (Pakistan probably should have to be honest, but we'll take it).

Sehwag 284 runs in less than a days play! Looking to become the first player to score 3x 300+ scores in tests. Good to see Murali getting taken to.

is the kiwi series, pakistans home series? just wondering y u said a test win away

Yessir, that is correct. Was quite strange seeing danny boy calling the toss.

Can't believe we got rolled for 99! Chasing 405 for victory, 2 full days to play so time ain't an issue. Just the usual lack of mental strength in our top order.

pretty shitfull 2nd test at Adelaide for aus..

also anyone goin to boxing day test @ mcg, ill be there as usual

too see west indies get absolutely hammered...?

i dont think we will be sing a 4th innings,

aus WILL bat 1st post 500 odd by the 2nd day lunch, West indies will not get that score in 2 innings

game over

The Adelaide pitch was always going to suit The Windies batting lineup, always has mate. I remember last time they were out, I think Chanderpaul and Bravo both got centuries there. Adelaide traditionally has a lower bounce, less carry, less deck, seam and swing than brisbane or perth.

Obviously it suited the windies and with Australia not choosing a spinner it was always going to be tough going for the aussie bowlers, to be classified as a spinner you need to turn the ball, nathan hauritz is not a spinner.


ATT:Forte.

Did I see Chris Martin wearing a ridiculous head band? It was literally half the size of his head.

Hit btank for six the other day.
Bowled a pie down leg side and i put it in the crowd.

I don't bowl pies mate.

Listen if you can hit me for six, I'll leave ** and you can have my spot. I'll even give you 3 overs.

LOLOL i was joking.

I'd start packing your bags. The crowd better get ready for a catch.

Listen Kane, Bert is a natural sportsman and due to his good sportsmanship has turned down many an offer to represent Aus in cricket (would be too unfair on the opposition). Recently turned down the opportunity to play in a T20i so his mate Dave Warner could have a go.

What a guy aye!

@Bert: yes he was sporting a headband and only a man with a head that shape could pull off such a look. We had them 55/5 and dismissed them for 223, which is no surprise but still pisses me off to no end.

yo beertank, i apologize man.
can i have your autograph?

Vettori gets himself another ton. Absolute Fucking Legend!

Daryl Tuffey was left stranded on 80, Fuck You Chris Martin!

That is all.

what about Danish Kaneria stealing 7 wickets...

Yeah Asif got them all into last stand and that thieving little sand nigger poached them. Wouldn't be surprised if he does the same in the 4th innings.

What a win by the bushrangers! David Hussey can play
