Declare the Sunday Twenty20 game to be the decider. Come on, today's game was essentially a Twenty20 anyway. Do the right thing, guys. Let's have this thing out.

Fucking Gabba. Still chuckled when Richie Benaud said he doesn't have the talent or ability to get his pull shots down...

West Indies v England test match 2

Vlad n U 2 · 02-14-2009, 01:25 AM

How abouts Callum Ferguson though?

Delayed and ground change, my friend.

Looks like he's ready made.

One thing I've noticed about state cricket. There are a shitload of quality batsmen across the country. Rogers, for example, is averaging 77 this year and won't be taken on tour.

But there is a sufficient dearth of quality bowlers.

Well, the greats had to leave someday. It will take a while to replace them, let the flowers grow.

MadForIt · 02-17-2009, 05:14 AM

Strauss and Collingwood hit tons as Eng dominate West Indies in the 3rd test as it is now

Geoffrey Boycott is hilarious
said the only good thing about Chris Gayle as captain is his beard

cobl04 · 02-20-2009, 07:31 PM

I put money of West Indies to win the third test, as they were paying $31. Little did I remember that England had already made like 900 runs in the first innings

Ended in a draw

cobl04 · 02-25-2009, 05:57 AM

So in the first innings we couldn't even roll an RSA Presidents XI, a side with no player I've ever heard of.

Meanwhile, in Pakistan's first test in 18 months, Sri Lanka made 7/644, and in reply Pakistan was 7/765

There were six fifties, not one century, two double tons and one triple ton for the match. Mendis took 1/172 off 65 overs.

Vlad n U 2 · 02-26-2009, 03:08 AM

644? 765?

MadForIt · 02-26-2009, 07:25 AM

You really like leaping to conclusions don't you champ?

Cricket changes very quickly. You should know that. We went from three for nothing to making 460 odd, and now we are miles ahead. The best SA can hope for is a draw or a washout.

MadForIt · 03-01-2009, 04:13 AM

Booooooooooooooo

Aussies are still alive - come on SA chase down 400 + again!

Axver · 03-03-2009, 12:45 AM

What just happened in Pakistan? Holy fucking shit. That's all I can say.

Just heard about this as the lead story on BBC News. Can't believe it.

adrball · 03-03-2009, 12:42 PM

Bloody Hell.

What does this now mean for the game? I fear the rest of the world will now have to follow Australia's example and that Pakistan won't be playing home games for a long time.

Just another observations....Pakistan authorities suspect this was committed by highly trained professionals. Without wanting to devalue the lives of the security guys, wouldn't trained professionals have actually got to the players?

Axver · 03-03-2009, 05:40 PM

It's going to be fucking hard for Pakistan to recover from this. Sri Lanka has been through turmoil and recovered, so there's hope, but for the immediate future, looks like "home" for the Pakistani team will be the United Arab Emirates ...

bono_man2002 · 03-03-2009, 06:22 PM

Thats fucking horrible whats happened in Pakistan.

What's the world coming to?

MadForIt · 03-03-2009, 08:21 PM

No one should go to Pakistan now

India will be on the blacklist soon - one more incident like Mumbai and they too are gone

All i can say is 2011 World Cup will be in Aus/NZ - South Asia cant host jack all at the moment

India - too much happening
Pakistan - as bad as Iraq
Bangladesh - needs the other 3 countries in South Asia to be ok for it to have some potential in hosting a tournament
Sri Lanka - have their own war going on with Tamil tigers

shocking stuff - i thought Murali and co were gone for sure

coolian2 · 03-04-2009, 10:53 PM

bad day for the sri lankans, eight down before lunch.
