Our domination of world cricket was good while it lasted, but all things must come to an end.
C'mon AFL season 2009!

Re: Cricket

Re: Cricket
Mid strength at full strength prices.
Shithouse.
Paid $5.40 for a plastic cup of mid last year.
BUT... you can buy full strength spirits and wine, go figure... rip-offs!
Blew around $100 at my first one-dayer last year, and was hardly pissed.
The tip is to run over to the pubs before, at lunch and after the games.

Re: Cricket

Is twenty 20 having an impact on test cricket?

Re: Cricket
The two days that have passed in this Test are the reason I love this game. Not just because the Aussies are back on top, but because here you have a game, a test, that pins people against each other of 5 days, in a physical and mental battle. Tactics, slight changes in field placement, get a wicket, change to a really agressive field placement, a individual starts getting an innings going, different tactics for him and the guy at the other end, shifting all the time, and hard to say "who is winning". Just a brillant sport TBH. Looking forward to sitting down over the weekend and drinking some beer, catching up on some rest, and enjoying the game.

Re: Cricket
notch? wonder where that came from, did he used to carve a notch in his bed for each wicket he took
Re: Cricket
prob more like johno's just taken another notch in his belt.
Re: Cricket
Hayden gone.
If we loose I'd say they will drop him, if we win, he'll probably get another chance. Pretty long run of bad form.

Re: Cricket
Just did a quick score check 4/110 - looks like we will take this one down, given their tale does not hold up the way it has in last two matches. Would be a great day to be at home.
Re: Cricket
see the night watch man last night mate? i reckon last time i saw that was about 5 years ago - think it was gillespie that came in at first drop.DBoy wrote:Just did a quick score check 4/110 - looks like we will take this one down, given their tale does not hold up the way it has in last two matches.

Re: Cricket
yeah, still gets spoken about a lot, but the number of times the man would go out in that last over sorta shelved the concept I think. Hope it goes down to last hour so I can see a result.

Yeah that would be good.
WHilst i am at work i am not really doing much just kind of sitting watching the score tick over.
GO CATS! GO CATS!
Re: Cricket
5/170 just need to knock de Villiers off to ensure smoother ride. not safe till the dog is shot in the leg.
edit - 6/172 but still not de Villiers.

Re: Cricket
got him. And Australia will retain the no.1 spot in the world. 3 hours of play on a 5th day Sydney wicket, if they hold out they deserve to take it. (although i think in a draw we keep it?)
Re: Cricket
yes we do, they have to win to get the number 1
Re: Cricket
fkn cmon, one more wicket before it rains!
Re: Cricket
sheesh what is with our "attack" bowl the bunny out fer fuck sake
catches win matches boys
catches win matches boys
Re: Cricket
phew! Aus win by 103 runs with like 9 balls to spare
Re: Cricket
that was awesome. finally we've bowled them out twice in a match... talk about last minute. jebus. smith is a freaking man of steel.
Re: Cricket
wow, just wow.
Re: Cricket
cricket has been the winner. can't wait to see ho wthe kiwis go against the green and gold.
Re: Cricket
What a wicked series. One for the books. And great to have a win at the end. Respect to Smith.
I think the Aussie 1 Day side is going to be in some strife TBH. Some of these new kids probably not up to the job of the intensity of 1 day internationals. But they will learn.

Re: Cricket
watching the twenty20 tonight, looks like we will win, but gotta say im pretty pissed off that someone
in the crowd shone a green laser in the eyes of one of the South Africans eyes as he was trying to catch
Hussey out (i think)
The game was already pretty much won but fucking terrible to see.
Also could not believe the commentators didn't mention it even though the replays clearly show the laser in his eyes
just at the moment of catching.

Re: Cricket
I heard about that laser incident this morning Al. Didn't see it last night though. Shithouse though.
Interesting game though.
I thought we were going to lose 10 overs into our innings.
Poor ol' Warner had so much expectation on him it was hard to see him living up to it. Good on M. Hussey for a 'striking' return to form, Punter and Bear White did well too - especially that one over where White hit 4 or 5 4's. Nice bowling from Bracken too. I thought Tait bowled well, but his pace worked against him... if that makes sense.

Re: Cricket
Great game, love a bit of the ol' Twenty20 action on a school night.
Didnt see the laser thing, saw him drop the catch, didnt know why. Probably didn't mention it because that is like advertising for other poeple to copy the idea. Best the didn't.
His catch a few over earlier was a ripper though, one of the best I have seen.

Re: Cricket
TBH - commentating was absolutely disgraceful.
Brayshaw can stick to footy. And even Warnie and the other clowns were fucking up cricketers names, incorrectly calling who had been dismissed etc.

Re: Cricket
it wasnt the catch that Dumminy dropped where he came in too far then had to jump backwards, it was one a bit later where the fielder dived to his right for the catch, you can see the laser all over the ground around him, then in the slow motion replay you see it shine smack in his eyes a split second before the ball hits his hands.
