Time for a new thread...

[Salome]

good to see Lara hit a century

Australia is nicely on course though

 

[brettig]

I'm still stunned Ganga got one, I really didn't think he had that sort of ability.

 

[brettig]

160 reasons to be deleriously happy for Darren Lehmann!!

 

[Salome]

Mr. Ponting should also be a happy camper

 

[brettig]

yeah but he's getting hundreds like they're cheap hotdogs right now, almost daily! Lehmann's waited 13 years...

 

[Salome]

true, true
from what I read about it seeing Ricky playing nowadays makes you wonder why facing world class bowlers would be a frightening prospect to someone

 

[bono_man2002]

thank god the windies put in a bit of a good fight!

i should be able to watch these matches soon, cause were getting pay-tv back again!

 

[brettig]

Ah Salome, but are they world class?

@anyone with Foxtel!!

 

[Salome]

nope, not world class
but even if they were Ponting would still have smashed them

should be an exciting last day of play

 

[brettig]

Man, this is actually in danger of slipping off the page. Ponting and Lehmann have again ensured it won't, though.

...isn't cricket a sport? Um, Put em under pressure???

*feels like she walked into the conversation at the WRONG time*

 

[brettig]

haha yeah you walked in about a year too late

This thread started before put em under pressure existed I think, and Salome's a mod in here so we've got political powers.

 

[Salome]

yes!


wow, Steve even is a greater legend now than he was 2 days ago
I didn't think that was possible

I'm going to call my first kid Steve
even if it's a girl

 

[brettig]

Let's not go nuts

 

[brettig]

I'm still grrrrr about Lehmann getting fired for 96

 

[Salome]

well, Lehmann is no Steve

Steve

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

I don't even know what cricket is...

Okay, so I know it's a sport. And there's bats. And that's about it.

We don't get much cricket up here.

 

[brettig]

They don't in the Netherlands either but Salome manages!

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

And...your point is....?

 

[brettig]

Cultural ignorance is no excuse

 

[Salome]

Only the Australians would be able to force a result on a wicket like this. With an advantage of more than 300 runs and two days remaining, they surely will.

No, cricket does not belong anywhere. Cricket ought to be banished to the back of beyond and never again mentioned in human conversation.

 

[brettig]

Im disappointed in you, Flounder.

 

[Salome]

No, cricket does not belong anywhere. Cricket ought to be banished to the back of beyond and never again mentioned in human conversation.

you must be brittish

it's actually a great game when you know how to play it!

 

[bono_man2002]

dont worry, england will come good someday......right

 

[brettig]

Don't hold yer breath bono man...right now I'm wondering if the aussies will ever come bad!

 

[bono_man2002]

well they carnt be the best team and go on those unbeaten streaks forever!!
there'll come a time when they arent the best anymore...
i dont think it started the other day when we lost.....

 

[brettig]

Bangladesh next.
