  1. It's a strange rule. I wonder if it applies to all formats. I mean limited over games are a tad different to a game played over 5 days. In The NZ / Pakistan game with the rain coming into the result it makes some sense but seems pretty stiff in a test match. And bowlers often slow games down with over rates. It reflects poorly on the team appealing for it for me.
  2. For a game that's supposedly played between gentlemen, there are a surprising number of unsavory incidents.
  3. Sometimes not dropping a game builds ironic pressure.
  4. Still probably better than the slop they serve up from the good people at Netflix. New releases read like a list of Hollywood classics from the forties. It's now become a collection of b grade movies from Mongolia and 500$ "doco series" about mass murderers. The only people who this defunct streaming service appeals to these days are executive Producers.
  5. My tip is the French horse Absurde.
  6. Whatever it is , it's worse than getting out than handled ball or hit wicket. How do you explain it to your teammates. Oh wait you probably did while you were playing poker with them at the time. I'm looking forward to the finals but I really think India already have it won. They have an exceptional bowling line up.
  7. You will have three wins if you back each one for a place.( First is also considered a place, I think). Hopefully altogether they pay more than 24 dollars.
  8. Looked at the field and all the odds. Shortest is $4.40 and the longest at around one fiffty$. With a field of only 24, has any one worked out the permutations of backing every horse? There's usually a long shot that gets a place. Calling all DL math wizards.
  9. It's the biggest load of bs, trivia and wasted time. Best thread ever. Tx Mr Legs.
  10. Despite being knocked in straight sets two years in a row the club is performing very well. We really were very unlucky to have lost both finals. The fact is we are a real powerhouse three years in a row and the other clubs and their media lackies are well and truly afraid of us. Were it not so we wouldn't be singled out so much. Looking forward to another very competitive season in 24.
  11. Like the systemic fraud and graft with Fifa.
  12. I think it was too much but all CEOs pay themselves a royal ransom these days.
  13. I do appreciate your footy Iq.
  14. Tx Mods and all who keep this site up and running. Cheers.
  15. The fact is we fared much better at the Mcg than our interstate games. Also it disrupts routines and fatigues a little more. But yea Wc and Norf were easy ones but we still have to play them.
  16. Thanks Pf. We did get to play a couple of easybeats a few times this year. The main issue, I thought for us was travel. In particular Kardinia and Tasmania. Add our self imposed Nt game which is a long hike and that's three more trips the pies didn't make. Playing Devil's advocate, you could make the case we travel less interstate clubs though. With that in mind , I don't think ours was woeful but we were certainly at a distinct disadvantage compared to clubs like league pet the pies , blues, Geelong and Dons. No surprises there I guess.
  17. More like 15 hours on a good run.
  18. I hope he can return from injury asap. His 23 form turnaround was remarkable and I think we would have gone close to winning a flag had he not been injured in the game before our prelim.
  19. Going out on a limb here but I think we will probably play at Kardinia or whatever it's called.
  20. It's a bit of a cliche for our club. We were very unlucky with everyone of our fwds having injuries. A lot of them affecting their seasons. Milk was desperate replacement who surprisingly showed great form. Losing him was a big deal.
  21. Some good luck wouldn't go astray.
