The Official Cricket '07/'08 thread!!

[cobl04]

I'm fairly positive our B Matts side could give them a run for their money.

 

[MadForIt]

hey we have 2 south africans in our team

that should be enough to sort you guys out

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Pietersen and who?

 

[MadForIt]

Andrew Strauss was born in Joberg
Owais Shah was born in Karachi Pakistan

I think the rest were England born

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Yep, Australia are REALLY, REALLY crap at cricket now, they can't even hit 50 runs in 10 overs against NZ!

Disgraceful.

 

[MadForIt]

Looks like NZ are the #1 team in Oceania

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Maybe so.

 

[Axver]

We beat Australia!

I still can't fucking believe it.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I'm glad you are happy.

 

[cobl04]

We beat Australia!

I still can't fucking believe it.

Let's see you do it when we have a proper side and set a decent total

Broom shouldn't've been out.

Who don't Aus have?

Symonds? He's a hack.
Lee? Injured.

R.I.P

It would be a bit foolish to suggest that at this time, no?

 

[MadForIt]

We dont get too many opportunities to slam the Aussies so every chance has to be taken

 

[Axver]

Let's be honest, the series is going to end 4-1 and New Zealand's bloody lucky not to be rolled 5-0.

 

[MadForIt]

england are still mediocre

KP got to 97 v WINDIES and went for a 6 and ............got out

Also why is POM meant to be insulting

You guys still have the Queen as the head of state and the British flag on yours

The way the aussies are playing, and how they can't win a match at the MCG means NZ may go up 2-0 today. Ponting isn't playing....he's been about our most consistent run scorer over the summer.....as far as I know we still aren't playing a spinner?.....the selectors need to get a grip.

McGain, why the hell did they pick him to tour South Africa?.....whats wrong with Krjeza?.....Is he still injured?....I think it would make sense to persist with a young bloke rather than get someone make their test debut at 36.....its just pointless...If they are truly re-building why pick someone at that age?.....

The selectors have me bamboozled. At least Hughes got the nod

england are still mediocre

Might be an interesting Ashes series with two mediocre teams playing....

 

[cobl04]

The team selection was fine with me, except for the exclusion of Krejza. That's a joke. The selectors need to be sacked. He's the only person in Australian cricket who can bloody spin the ball. He wouldn't leak so many runs if they set a proper field for him.

Hilfenhaus, McDonald and Hauritz to be left out imo. North > McDonald, McGain >>>>>>>>> Hauritz.

Hope you didnt put the lottory on as well this week!

Elliot - what a legend!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Wow, Australia really are crap.

 

[cobl04]

Remember vlad, both Ponting and Marsh weren't playing.

But we've now lost five in a row.

 

[Axver]

Holy shit, 2-0?

Too good to be true. I mean, we're all about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Remember vlad, both Ponting and Marsh weren't playing.

But we've now lost five in a row.

Yeah, Ponting and Marsh weren't there, neither was Tait.

I think Warner should be replaced.

 

[MadForIt]

Even Bangladesh could beat the Aussies at the moment

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Aus would probably only beat them by 50 runs.

Whatever happened to all that depth that Australia liked to think it had? Two individuals don't make a team, but now it's the only excuse Australian supporters seem to be able to offer. Epic inconsistency, people!

(And if we want to play by the argument of "so-and-so wasn't playing", note the lack of Oram on the Kiwi team.)

 

[Vlad n U 2]

On another note, shouldn't we start a 'Cricket 09/10' thread, this thread is pretty much dated.

A new thread to represent the decline of Aussie cricket and the new era of South Africa and India should be posted

 

[MadForIt]

Ok folks feel free to take the George Michael

Eng are the worst team ever

Aussies should complain that they are playing amateurs this summer - should tour Kenya instead, a much tougher test

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I cracked up when I heard England got bowled out for 51!

51!

I'm starting to wonder about that, too...
