What's the story with Will Sheridan who took five wickets for Victoria in four overs before lunch today?

Clive Palmer, Is this drop kick doing a good job fcuking up the sport (if not the English language) in Australia?

I'm not sure which competition is more meaningless - the one day series or the NAB Cup? Could someone please tell me how the one dayers finish? Is there a grand final?

I'm surprised that nobody here has seen fit to comment about the fact that yesterday will become known as the day the music died again - the day they released the GWS club song. Actually, they didn't release it - it just escaped. I heard it while driving to Casey Fields for yesterday's practice match and I nearly ran the car off the South Gippy Highway. For some reason, I was expecting the GWS song to resonate with the sounds normally associated with belly dancers and cheap felafel joints but a disco version of a Cossack dance from the steppes of Russia? Far out!!!! What's more is that it got even better when I saw vision of players lip synching their new song on video, Milli Vanilli style. How appropriate for a fake football club to evoke images of that group of frauds with the release of their club song? For all that, while this catastrophic piece has undoubtedly set the song writing for new franchises industry back some decades, I still reckon that, as bad as the song is, it's the best thing to ever emanate from the black hole we know as Greater Western Sydney. Those bastards deserve it - and more!!!

This subject has probably had a run here in the past but I really can't abide some of the calisthenics that pass for allowable bowling actions these days, especially among the Sri Lankans. My old cricket coach would be rolling in his grave.

Kudos to the Victorian selectors who didn't hesitate to bring this kid into the Shield team despite him making a duck at premier district cricket last weekend. Fitting that he scored the ton against SA which tried to poach him and young leggie Muirhead away from Victoria - Vics fume as rivals target young guns.

Quite, but I doubt whether Virender's people are into the driving back infidels thing.

Yeah, I loved the bit where the Indian apparatchik (didn't catch his name but he must surely be a distant relative of Baghdad Bob) said there would be no further comments on the matter of impending player retirements and Sehwag followed that up by adding a comment. It demonstrated how that the spin doctoring among the Indian team was about as well organised as many of its field placements.

I think he's the 18 year old that SA tried to poach for their Shield team at the start of the season along with a batsman named Handscomb who is very promising with some tipping him as a future test batsman.

Very little known about him since the drafts. His NTFL team Waratah has only won one game since winning the first six on the trot and that was against chopping block Darwin. This has occurred after Manson, Fevola and Pettifer stopped playing. I suppose it's what happens when you have mercenaries who aren't totally dedicated to the cause at a club.

Only asking? I reckon India must know how 186 feels now. Of course, I'm watching a delightful performance from Zimbabwe v NZ. After scoring 51 in their first dig and following on they're currently 5/12 in the second inninings and making the Indian batsmen look Bradmanesque. Zimbabwe sent the Kiwis into bat on the first day too!

It's Adelaide and it's India that we're playing. Despite the indifference of the captaincy, ineptitude of most of the bowling attack, the very ordinary fielding and the psychological edge we hold over them after yesterday, their batting on reputation is still very strong and it's a flat track. I'd be asking first if we can get them out twice in this test match.
