Finn brothers? Tim was only in the band briefly, for the third album. The Aussie duo of Nick and Hessie are (well, in Hessie's case, were ) just as important.

Anyway, by your logic, back when Pietersen was the most important member of the English cricket team, does that mean England was South Africa?

Shit happens when the best batsman and the best bowler in your team happens to be the same guy.

IPL Auctions :

Franchises choose to invest in Indians rather than chase the mirage of overseas players.
Gautam - $2.4 million
Yusuf Pathan and Robin Uthappa- $2.1m
Rohit Sharma, Irfan Pathan, Yuvraj Singh and Saurabh Tiwary all close to the 2 million mark.

Mahela Jayawrdene, David Hussey and Dale Steyn are the only overseas players to get more than a million.
Aussie all-rounder Daniel Christian got $900,000 (that's 18 times his base price).
Jaysuriya, Lara, Gayle, Swann, Boucher, Ganguly... Unsold !

 

[cobl04]

fuck the IPL.

Peter Siddle and Mitchell Johnson averaged more with the bat than Ricky Ponting, Phil Hughes and Marcus North.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I average more with the bat than Marcus North.

I average more with a baseball bat than Marcus North.

Ross Taylor went for 1 million
What the hell?

He's rubbish

Serious?

From what I remember of watching NZ play he seemed to be the only one who put up a decent score consistently.

 

[coolian2]

to be fair, the only form of the game he's any good at is t20.

he's as retarded as the rest of our top order otherwise. just shows what a laugh the ipl is.

 

[bono_man2002]

At least this silenced one Kiwi poster

Was at the Basin yesterday

Hung around at the end and had a quick chat with Vettori, Southee and Chris Martin. Got some excellent pics

Also asked Waqar Younis for a pic, and in his moody fast bowler like persona, he said yes. And he was grumpy in the pic. Maybe becasue i interrupted him when he was talking to his family lol

Did you ask how the new album is coming along?

[cobl04]

today's question - how many times will Livin' in the 70s be played on today's broadcast?

 

[Tania]

About a gazillion times too many!

 

[cobl04]

I hate Michael Clarke.

 

[Tania]

Just get out for goodness sake and let Hussey (M) in!!!!

 

[cobl04]

Well would you look at that, we won a game. 160 off 151 for Watson.

Vettori made 110 to save NZ from total disaster once again.

 

[Tania]

Yay!

(About time!)

 

[cobl04]

Michael Vaughan will be happy; finally Betfair's better live odds have worked in his favour!

 

[MadForIt]

Mark Nicholas is such a traitor

But great innings by Watson

 

[bono_man2002]

Mark Nicholas or Austin Powers? who the fuck knows!

 

[Axver]

Wow, Australia winning the cricket?

We may have a good ODI series on our hands. The two T20s and yesterday's ODI were all really enjoyable.

 

[intedomine]

One of the most heartwarming things in the crowd yesterday was the booing of Michael Clarke by Aussies in the crowd and the elation when he went out... I loved it!

Watson was brilliant, I've gotta say

 

[Axver]

Watson was brilliant, I've gotta say

Yeah, even I'll concede this point. Don't know how I feel about that ...

 

[bono_man2002]

We are still #1 at something at Cricket. That was a good chase after some dreadful bowling.

If we limit Mitchel Johnson to odd series games (ie: 1, 3 & 5) we may have claimed the Ashes. The guy cannot put two good matches together. Clarke doesn't belong in coloured clothing, nor the Australian team at the moment, I used to like him..but now I think he's wasted space.

 

[cobl04]

i have never seen an Australian team field and bowl so poorly.
