Sir Why You Little

Paki's have lost 3-1 Amazing...Amazing. They were cruising 11 minutes ago. This is why 20/20 should never kill the 5 day game.

Yes as i pushed the send button he was given!!

8 DOWN!!!!!

44 to go i think the Paki's are home. Actually good thing for the aussies. Will force the apathetic selectors to make changes. Hot Spot says 7 down....as i write!!! So maybe not...Love test cricket

You missed out on going to thailand!! Having been there 6 times for awesome holidays, that is almost worse than DEATH!!! My complete and utter sympathies to ya Jade. You must do thailand at a later date

What happened to ya?? Thats awful news over summer...

Could Siddle be a Hero with Hussey?? Gotta love Test Cricket. That article in the SMH yesterday was a disgrace saying Test cricket is dying.

6 Down now, but the ball is still flying around, so it will still be hard for our one day batsmen to make a lead But it is test cricket.....

We are Dead Meat at this stage in this match. Weather improving by the minute. 160 in front 4 down.....The Jungle drums are beating....

But that's just it, the rules were changed to accomodate him. so i find it hard to put his record in that top bracket. His action was deemed legal to save face within the sub continent i have no doubt. Heard Terry Jenner call him a chucker the other day on radio, and he knows far more about spin bowling than i. This topic shall always be debated i am sure... BTW if you are talking Fawlty Towers, the Major is always my fave character!! "Hate Germans, Love Women-Good Card Players" best comedy ever written....

So you seriously rate Murali and consider his action legitimate?? Personally i don't blame him but his action should have been corrected as a junior.

Hauritz could get a few now....need them quickly though. Real quick

You would play Murali (whom the rules were changed so he could keep playing pending Mutiny in the Sub continent) over S.K Warne?? The Pitches Murali got 80% of his wickets were doctored for him, and how many of his tests were played against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh..? S. K. had to do his work all over the place. He is the world's greatest tweaker bar none Murali was more suited to baseball.. Not a bad side though!....not sure about Brett Lee either. Rarely got early wickets.

I went to some Magnificent F.A Cup parties when i was a kid, the sound of Wembley singing was just brilliant. It's still a great cup, but no longer the Holy Grail, and that makes me very sad. But it's always a pleasure to see Man U beaten on their own Dump-Bloody Beautiful!

Fair call, but i still don't think the "Big 4" take the F.A Cup nearly as seriously as they once did, which is sad-too much money up for grabs in Europe these days. Leeds have been Rubbish for 5-6 years so you have to wonder about the mental application for the full game from United-Leeds would have been much hungrier.

I was watching the Cricket yesterday, & i knew i would cop some "Serious Chin Music" from in here!!! It's a beautiful sunny day outside today 45 Go for a walk my friend!!!

Hehe. i can't work out why any bowler bowls no balls really, it is their job to know the length of their run up. The odd one fair enough, but repeats are just weird. Like a full forward who can't kick goals.....

Awesome but you wonder how seriously ManUre take the F.A Cup these days. Sad really, when i was a teenager the F.A Cup was the Trophy to win....Wembly just chockers with fans Shall never forget '79.

Glad you find it odd, i find Pontings Brain very odd to be honest! When i say Win the Toss and Bat, that is under the circumstances of the game starting on time on a dry pitch. Yes yesterdays conditions do happen granted, but they are not the norm. My statement a few months back was a big sweeper i admit, but i haven't seen a green top like that in years-Maybe Ponting hasn't either!! Not even i would have batted on that swamp first-you could see the grass growing on it Call it exceptional circumstances which is what yesterday was. Ponting Blew it again. The only crazy pitch i remember like yesterdays straight off was that marble sheet in the West Indies in '95...that thing was mad!!!

I was waiting for your reply on my batting every time after winning the Toss RR. I still stand by that, BUT that does not include the situation where the first session has been lost due to rain-the pitch looks like a snooker tab & the Curator actually gives the word! Yesterdays circumstances were just too obvious... It has been raining there for days. which makes it a totally different scenario. Paki's Batting well today-Head down Bum up, something nobody did yesterday The Aussies are like Port Adelaide- Flat Track Runners sadly.

What about Ponting Trying to hook his first ball! A 5 day Test Match on a massive Green Top with a sodden outfield. Wouldn't you watch the ball for a while, see what it does. Pathetic Effort-Well done to the Paki's btw, they bowled magnificently. But Pontings effort today was just crap, has the modern cricketer lost the ability to have a long attention span?? Hussey's shot was unnecesary as well. Hooking just before Tea...Why? it's a 5 day game on a green Top!! Ok if your stumps get rattled that's good bowling, no problems, but playing one day shots under todays conditions is just not acceptable. I think a few senior players in our XI have got lazy, living on very nice contracts. Even if it is only one or two% off mentally. Today was a day to dig in and do nothing fancy. Not one of our Batsmen had that mindset. (clarke was beaten by a ripper so i will excuse him to some degree) Does Ponting understand anything about strategy?? Thats enough Ranting for now, I feel Better already. Hall of Mirrors Aussies.....

Pitch is as green as a snooker table!! Even i would have bowled first on that one Considering the amount of rain that fell this morning...

Anyone Heard of Chris Rogers????? Oh sorry he plays for NSW.....PHU@#$%KK!!!!! I m really mad today... :wub:

Jeff Farmer was a bit like that, & Allen Jakovich

I saw the news Highlights, that's all. But they sure rocked!! No wonder these guys are transferred for millions!
