Melbourne Beats

Cant find the old thread, only the old world cup and 20/20 ones so this can be the new one...

One dayers, Tests, 20/20 dosnt matter.

So DBoy and Lynt i ask can we win this first game on the last day today?

Pretty sure punter would give haddin and watson say 1 hour to bat, hopefully the get 300+ in that time, send in the indians to bat and BAM, bowl em all out for 200...

last day pitch, anything could happen, and if Haddin can keep 'em in his gloves...
Draw seems more likely, if we loose it is going to be a long series, confident Indians are hard to beat and media will be all over "new aussies".

yea but what happens if we win and its 1-0, indians give punter that first win in a series and he will make them pay for it for the rest of the series.

Been grazing the test so far. Sucks not having Foxtel at home, because looks like we're in for a decent competition!

Singh half tonner, come on lads.

Just keep on keeping Tendulkar away from it.

Cricket is the aids!

Just declared for 299. Rack em up and bowl em down.

I tell ya what's mad about where I work, we have 42 inch plasma in the studio. Just watched Sehwag get nailed.

I'm moving in.

i say we just both beacome permant parts of the furniture at Huges work, multiple plasma's, bars, booze, bikes.

I do too.

I think we have more beer accounts than Huge though. huhuhuhuh.

This is the concern now, 50 partnership at tea, dulkar and laxman old gaurd worries.

india need 150 to win..

i reckon we're in trouble

dare to draw...

whens the next game start? thurs?

Fri

Got him. Confidence boost for the Aussies. 70/1.

def a spin / batting pitch they reckon. hows the crowd absolutley no ones there watching...worse than a sheffield shield match.

BU's Siddle for earning the baggy and the maiden test.

we are fucked in this match!

We need some play testers for a cricket game.

Likely to be next weekend, either Saturday or Sunday for around 4 hours.
CBD location.

We need peeps who are fans of cricket games or those that have never played a cricket game before but are fans of cricket.

Let me know if you are interested or have any further questions.

do we get free somthing?

There will be some beer provided (wouldn't be a realistic test if there wasn't!)

Date: Saturday 1st November
Time: 1pm-5pm
Address: Transmission Games. Level 3, 355 Spencer St, West Melbourne Victoria.

Getting punished.

yup. unaustralian, way too many misfields etc.

Tendulkar batting down the order I see - did he bat higher up in the first Test?

Siddle & Johnson getting punished I see.

its just not cricket!

sad day for australia cricket team
change of the guard ...doesnt look good
Sorry 2 say white doesnt cut it for me ,Pointing bowls clarke before white says everything ..haddin is a poor keeper and batsman ... we need 2 good quicks ... middle order is weak ... we can not bowl teams out which is the big worry ..
Warnie McGrath Gilly Symo ..please come back

i'd love to come and gloat about now, but the kiwi's aren't looking so hot against Bangladesh right now, so i'll either be commiserating with you tomorrow or offering some sympathy. At least this aussie team has 2 victorians in it. So glad Dhoni had the balls to put the foot down and declare early, its what punter should have done in the first test.

what's with the crowd in India??? no one there

apparently if you aren't a vip you can't get access to tickets in the shade, the security is ridiculous - can't bring in mobiles, umbrellas to shade under or anything and the rebel ICL 20/20 is on at the same time.

Plus people are happy to watch it on tv in air conditioned comfort and not have to go through all that BS.

Kiwis beat Bangladesh in case you were wondering.

Strange behavior by the aussies under pressure, brett lee daring to question ricky's authority, katich and haydo going the tonk and getting out and even hussey losing his wicket. Don't usually see the team losing wickets in big clumps like that.

I don't believe the hype about this being the changing of the guard and the end of an era. I bet they regret not having Symonds on the tour though. The aussie team will bounce back.

It's good to get a pounding. We can't always rely on the Aussie legends. Bring the new younger guys through, train em up and we'll have a cracking side.

Have you tried sopcast / tvants and those kind of things?

Great for the premier league and stuff and plenty of other sports available to watch on there

But mostly Chinese tv stations apart from espn and couple euro ones, and I doubt the Chinese are too interested in cricket

i cant even get sopcast to work on my home computer (but then again it is a mac)
not too sure how this would go through works firewall, but will give it a shot

We're finished.

Worst position you can be in.

3rd game of 3 game series.
1 down in series
600 total to chase after 2 days, first innings
potentially 2 x 200+ innings

only way is to go for it, but going for it in india on a spinners pitch means chance of making nothing.
This could get be worst beat ever.

Got to say, Laxman is a pleasure to watch.

hows gambiars 206 or whatever it was! madness. prick should be banned for elbowing watson tho and karma's a bitch, watson was the one to get his wicket in the end.

Agreed we are in a shithouse place. Last few overs were a pleasure to watch with hayden and kaitch making a few. Hayden looks like hes in for the long haul.

Really, this is not unreasonable, can be done. Although day 5 pitch...

please please please, we need to win this, will be a monumental win if we do though. Im sick of the Indians at work here trying to give me shit saying they are number 1 etc etc

tell them that cricket is gay and u dont care.

thats what i tell em.

they always disapointed

Cricket is Gadu (thats Indian for Gay)

2/47

How many run outs have we got now? This must be the unfittest cricket team since Boonie.

4/150 Hussey out, looking less likely now
