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?

  • Quote

    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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
