india 75/1 after ten overs. dhoni and sehwag tonking it around everywhere by the looks of it.

maharoof has 0/27 after two overs so far. poor bloke...

Yeah
Dhoni is a find, but I have never seen him bat on tv. Im consigined to radio commentary. India have a chance if they can play out the period until the next powerplay

fuck me. india 303/4 after 46 overs.

dhoni makes 183* off 145 balls, 15X4 and 10X6 in his knock. highest ever ODI score by a keeper too. some fucken player.

ok so Hussey is set to make his debut against the Windies on thursday. I have been looking forward to this for so long. Against an unpredictable and unproven West Indies bowling line-up I think he will produce the goods. How do you guys think he will go?

 

[angelduck]

I hop MacGill gets to play, he deserves it

One a flat pitch and an oval as big as my backyard.

 

[angelduck]

4 early wickets, but ponting gets a century

Come on Clarke!! He'd better bat really well in the 2nd innings

dude, its not like his boundaries just made it to the fence, he made them comfortably, crashing into the rope or the stands. and he played with cramps when he was on 60-odd.

the wicket was a good batting one, but it had a bit of turn. dhoni was just too good on that day. i dont like to really put him on a pedestal, but he is a good find. he got a 150-odd against zimbabwe not too long ago aswell.

he also smashed 2 6's to win the game for india to go up 4-0!

have a good series against sri lanka, and then against the safricans, and they should be looking at him for test matches.

Why was Dhoni played down the order today?

 

[redruM]

they are just really shuffling with their batting order. the last 4 first drops for india have been pathan, yuvraj, dhoni and dravid. (from memory, not sure about dravid, but i think in the 2nd game)

anyways, for those that remember, i had made the banner to take to the 3rd day of the super test. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v406/redruM25/cricket.jpg

the result: http://rapidshare.de/files/7164859/cricket.mov.html (~8mb)

the quality is shocking, its taped off the tv, but you can see it.

 

[king_of_boredom]

haha, doesnt anyone give a shit about the aussies and windies anymore?

well for those who are interested warneys having an awesome spell and west indies need 50 odd to avoid the follow on.

 

[angelduck]

Follow on either not enforced, or windies got to many runs.

Ponting - get the hell out already so i can see clarky bat!

 

[mm_d14]

don't diss ponting. he's the man!!!

 

[king_of_boredom]

werrd. ponting and haydos a century each. windies are looking to chase 500+ lead.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

gayles was their best bowler... sad bunch...

dont think chanderpaul captained very well at all, didnt really manage the pace attack and how very negative overall

 

[Bookie]

Chris Gayle is sooooooooooo cool. How can anyone get any cooler?

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

TOP 10 most feared men in Sport... check out number 3... LMAO

 

[bJ_Bhoy 87]

lmao. I'm sure McGrath and Warney shit themselves at the prospect of bowling to Inzy.

Stoopid americans.

 

[Jimmy_B]

heh, at the alooo being the most feared cricketer around. i'd say that'd be freddie flintoff at the moment.

speaking of which, apparently all the poms are growing mo's in pakistan due to boredom there. it'd be interesting to see how they all look when the test match is on, in 7 days time....

 

[bJ_Bhoy 87]

I'd say its Warney. If they arent afeared for his bowling, then they are at the prospect of their wives getting SMSed.

 

[angelduck]

nice woerk! Best Warney joke ive heard in a while
