Commentators talking about enjoying diet pepsi, lol.

It was a particularly basic balls-up.

Or balls-down as the case may be. That really was a catch he should've been able to take in his sleep.

We've got the same commentary, it seems. That was badly done.

Or at least a catch he should've been able to take in my sleep.

I'm so going back to sleep when this finishes.

I also see animated advertising hoardings finally made in to cricket. How disappointing.

The things you do for cricket ...

Yeah, but after the floodlight malfunction last night, there's the potential for a technology fuck-up to bring the lulz ...

By way of comparison, i'll only be listening to the New Zealand tour of England on the radio while i sleep.

 

[coolian2]

It cracks me up that a run rate of 7.77 an over seems hopelessly pathetic.

 

[Axver]

So, Ian, do you have any preference as to who wins?

Personally, I want Rajasthan to lose just because I can't stand Warney.

What, it's not being shown on telly or something?

It's bad enough they've made it to Warriors games (but at least i sit behind the animated sign so i don't have to look at it).

They stand out way too much in darker venues.

Oh, and lol at the dancers in red MC Hammer pants.

At least it's a big improvement on that Kolkata/Hyderabad game last night! What a woeful pitch.

 

[coolian2]

It's bound to be on TV, but the light from the TV makes it harder to sleep.

And there is no way i'm getting up to watch our pathetic excuse for a cricket team stumble through a series against England.

Oh yeah, it looks shithouse. And is it just me, or is the lighting and camera quality not as good as you'd expect if this were being played down here? It just seems to accentuate how gaudy and bad the advertising looks.

The dancing seems so ridiculous with cricket.

That works for me too.

Good point. Please tell me the series at least starts once the IPL is over ...

 

[Axver]

That works for me too.

Seriously, who the hell makes Warney captain AND coach of a team?!

Rajasthan should be fined for that gross error of judgement.

All things considered it looks pretty reasonable for dodgy coverage coming out of India.

The stadium floodlights seem better than some Australian grounds.

I do believe the answer to that is you don't want to know.

Some lunatic Indian millionaire.

Well, it's not hard to outdo Perth's floodlights, since India has electricity while in Perth, electricity hasn't been invented yet and they rely on candles.

 

[Axver]

Oh FUUUUCK.

No Oram, Vettori, Mills, McCullum, etc., etc.?

We're done for.

 

[coolian2]

As an aside to the lighted advertising, it's been made to seem so much worse than it is at the last two Warriors games i've been to because the weather wasn't too pleasant and nobody bothered to turn the stadium floodlights on.

Almost as bad as Manchester United games at Old Trafford where all you can see is this big fucking strip of advertising.

 

[Axver]

Well, Punjab seems like they're starting to turn it on now.

 

[coolian2]

Oh FUUUUCK.

No Oram, Vettori, Mills, McCullum, etc., etc.?

We're done for.

We were already done for. Now we're embarrassingly done for.

Looks like the Punjabis are putting some big hits together now.

I didn't think the concept of cricket in coloured clothes and by night had made it that far west yet

 

[Axver]

Fuuuck, there goes Yuvraj.

 

[Axver]

We were already done for. Now we're embarrassingly done for.

Seriously, where the fuck is the team coming from? Especially how the hell do we replace Vettori? Who's going to captain the side? Hamish Marshall or someone equally random?

What a monumental fuck-up. Oh God.
