Anyone for cricket?

I think there are serious 'travel fears' associated with Pakistan that do not exist in India at all. The situations in those 2 countries are vastly different, so I take Symonds' side on that one. As for whether he'll play again, that's up to him I guess. I reckon he will, because if he doesn't, he'll lose out on all the sponsorship deals he would otherwise get.

Geoff Lawson has left Pakistan it was reported on SEN this morning.

    Howzat - 6 Bangladeshi's have walked out of their nation's side to play in the Indian League! Is it the death of the Bangladeshi's!?

    Return of cricket today with the first day of the first test of the Bordar-Gavaskar trophy. This should be a cracking series. I think India will win it too.

    Cameron White makes his debut, representing Victoria.

    Ponting won the toss, elected to bat. Zaheer Khan bowled the first over, and had Hayden caught behind third ball. Replays suggest the noise was bat on pad, not bat on ball. Currently 1/7 in the 7th over, Ponting on 6, Katich on 1.

    Katich out for 66 after a pretty good knock, highest second wicket partnership by a touring team in banglaore, 7 minutes before tea.

    Can they get another before the break?

    Cmon you Deshis!

    Banga about to defeat NZ - they need 7 runs off 35 deliveries right now

    oh yeah nz cricket is on the up

    LOL NZ, isn't half the Bangladeshie team banned from International cricket now as well?

    What's worse than losing to the Bangladesh Firsts? Losing to their Seconds!

    Thanks Chook! He just got Ponting

  • Quote

    wasn't me :) Cricinfo (hasn't Baggygreen turned into a useless website?) let me know that Punter was out, however i've only got the updates, and i'm sure harbhajan getting pointing will have caused riots!

    Now i just have to put up with my indian mate at work tomorrow... he's already SMSing!

    Michael Clarke needs his head read. Why scramble for a single with 7 balls remaining for the day to retain the strike. Out in the last over. LBW. Frustrating.

    5/314. M.Hussey is a legend.

    5/333 at lunch. Hussey 92. He is so damn unflappable.

    I think our run rate is going to hurt us, especially if Harbhajan keeps bowling negatively outside leg stump. 1.5 days in, I reckon Ponting would like a few more on the board. With no Gilchrist or Symonds to smash it, maybe White will show us some fireworks.

    Unfortunately not.

    I thought at the start of the day we'd be looking at 400. That should now be considered a good score from now on for the Australian team IMO.

    No middle order, which will become more apparent as Hayden dwindles and there's no Gilly to save the side.

    Biggest problem is that i think we'll battle to take 20 wickets. India should build a massive score, but as they say, never judge a pitch (match) until two teams have batted

  • Quote

    And if you thought Queensland's first inning score of 4-13 was troublesome, try their current score in the second inning of 6-16!!

    New Zealand 7-118

    What's worse than losing to the Bangladeshi Firsts? Losing to the Bangladeshi Seconds!

    What's worse than losing to the Bangladeshi Seconds? Losing to them twice!

    India's 2/41 at lunch on Day 5. We need 8 wickets, they need 258 runs. Draw's still favourite, but if we can get Tendulkar out early on in this session, we're still a good chance.

  • Quote

    The bad light rule is nothing more than frustrating, especially when the Aussies were putting on the slower bowlers - White and Clarke.

    MS Dhoni would be the next Captain in the second test. Is Kumble standing down immediately, Juice?

    will be real soon, as he has an injury to his shoulder and his form has been woeful, the rest of the retirement group should be gone in the next year or so as well i imagine,

    29? Geez he looks 40!

    Incidentally the Vics are 0/29 in their Sheffield Shield campaign in the game against Sth Aust in Adelaide.

    Kumble Confident of Shoulder Recovery

    This would suggest a different story...

    Hodge apparently batted really well the other day for his 100. Took about 20 of the last 22 runs to just get there.

    Apparently hit a six bigger than Blizzard's in the 20/20 final

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
