Fuckityfuckfuckfuck, stupid povo friends and stupid working friends, didn't get to go to it yesterday.

At 3/10 I was glad I didn't spend the money, but then Clowboy and Punter fired up and it was shut the gate, gameover. Oh and I maintain that Hussey can have my babies anytime he wants.

Oh and the exorcist, BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, 0/99...classic!

was there some point where the batsmen were running and knocked over the poor exorcist? i was down at the club waiting for poker and playing pool and looked up on the screen to see a poor murali with a very face which made him look like he was offering death threats to someone, and a brief replay of him falling to the ground????

 

[tasha1188]

haha i remember at the last SL vs Aus game at the SCG, all the Aussies around us were booing Clarke off when he got out, even though he made the highest score. that was funny...poor Clarke

no omg...the stupid lankas were calling clarke a wanker...kah lankans really annoy me now....even at the game yesterday....if n e of u we're there....do u remember the big aussie flag beach ball...and do u know what happened to it...the stupid lankans at the top section of bay 21 popped it...wat losers...sore losers....

omg last nite was such a good game...like srsly...i thought we were dead at 3/10...but once again ponting and roy came to our rescue...what legends...love them...and then once they got out...we did slump like the lankans....my clarke and hussey put on the best game ever...54 from 28 and 23 from 8...kah!...its crazy...even symonds was crazy 151 from 127...hehe...haha...but the best part was murali...0/99 from 10overs....wat a legend...Not....loser....he got the worst bowling figures in one day history and his highest runs in one day history (27)...meh....the aussie crowd were great...not many lankans there tho...just bay 21 was filled with them....and a few in a couple of other bays...and omg how random were the indian and pakistan flag in bay 21...i found that funny....ahhh...yesterday was the best game ive ever been to...hehe....just hope aussie play that good and win tomoz

 

[garbagedump]

Woman(tashsa) ur SURE rite...i mean look at the aussies, they do NOTHING towards the Sri Lankan players...they're ALL nice and GOOD.
"no omg...the stupid lankas were calling clarke a wanker...kah lankans really annoy me now...." ...woww u must be really weird since it's part of the game...get over it

".the stupid lankans at the top section of bay 21 popped it...wat losers...sore losers...." yeah of cousrse...it's not like the aussie audience are sore losers...after losing the game at adelaide they sat perfectly still and congratulated the players...lol....they EVEN didn't question the pointing's captaincy

"omg how random were the indian and pakistan flag in bay 21." actually it's common knowledge most pakis and indians go for ANY country except Aust, yet there are exceptions
Mannn murali stuffed up bad but got his own bak after hitting 2 sixes.

"..but the best part was murali...0/99 from 10overs....wat a legend...Not....loser.." mann that's not suprising since nearly EVERYONE of the AUSSIE BOweler s got hit for fours etc. Even lee got hit...the only reason why no one prob got worse than 0/99 coz jaysurya/sangajka...didn;'t fire.. Maybe u should look at the RUN RATES instead. murali was brave enough to actually continue bowling...unlike lee he would have instantly stopped and then come bak to get teh tall enders out (which might i add HE DID NOT HAHAHA)...woow what good bowling !!!

"wat a legend...Not....loser.." i think the aussies "really annoy me" LOL)

However full credit to pointing and symonds, they played astonishingly and yesterday was the best innings eva at the SCG by the aussies, both in entertainment and runs... btw did anytone see symonds pushing that man away with a bat when he went out of the ground? LOL

a bit suss how the next match is at the gabba...fast pitch and bouncy...

 

[adamsaclown]

no, I don't think its suss, I think its good that the decider is at a ground where the toss doesn't matter as much... damn I hate the toss... what the hell all the lankans in bay 4 cheered when the toss was called, only to find out Australia won it and then go "why the hell were we cheering?!".

The Australian grounds are losing their individuality, as is the Sri Lankan team losing some of its traditional traits. They aren't that good players of spin anymore (see how effective Hogg is against them as well as Bracken with his slower balls), but on the other hand, a lot of them are comfortable against fast bowlers, so hopefully the game tommorow will be close.

and haha tasha, the Lankans are sore losers? don't throw stones in a glass house, and what does 'kah' mean? and the paki and indian flags in bay 21, haha I found that amusing too, but not random, you know, subcontinental solidarity, you should find some of that.

 

[garbagedump]

"no, I don't think its suss, I think its good that the decider is at a ground where the toss doesn't matter as much" actually it is unfair...sri lanakans do not have any bouncy pitches or fast ones at home, so they are not use to it...however the aussies are and thus it unfavourably favours aust. it's pretty obviouS.

 

[adamsaclown]

but then nearly all the matches they play in Sri Lanka are favoured towards the home team. I think the variation and balance amongst all the Aussie pitches is pretty good. Hopefully Sri Lanka can step up.

katich is having a super shit summer. not much runs with the bat, PLUS a dropped catch just today. i say replace katich with jaques POST HASTE.


*all will be well if he manages a double century this innings.

katich is got good echnique.

Anyway on more important news, Tendulkar is back in form, India lead ODI series 2-1, I wish i have watch those matches. More interesting with sehwag, afridi and razzq.

 

[redruM]

tendulkar wasn't in fluent form, but still managed 95!

dhoni...what a fucking champ. there was a bit of tussle in the middle between yuvraj and gul. inzi sorted it out really well. the two ended up shaking hands and hugging. inzi also put in a big dive to save a boundary which was fun to watch, almost as good as his post-match comments.

 

[king_of_boredom]

okok i somewhat retract my original post. katich managed a century, but when youre pairing him up with someone of gilchrist's calibre, it looks like he's scoring at a strike rate of 20. but in looking back it was a well played innings, perhaps he can hold the opening spot for ODIs away from jaques for a while. but full credit to gilly's innings today, it was pure brilliance.

but how about shane watson? and mcgrath? id be most interested to see what happens when the line up for SA is named tomorrow.

 

[HotShot]

1Jacques
2Gilcrhist
3Ponting
4Katich
5Symonds
6Clarke
7Hussey
8Hogg
9Lee
10Bracken
11.Clark
12.Watson

thats my lineup.

 

[copious]

Australian squad: Ricky Ponting (capt), Adam Gilchrist (v-capt), Nathan Bracken, Michael Clarke, Stuart Clark, Brad Hogg, Michael Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Simon Katich, Brett Lee, Mick Lewis, Damien Martyn, Shane Watson, Andrew Symonds.

Jaques misses out again.

who the fuck is mitchell johnson? mick lewis sucks dick. Martyn isnt in form.

 

[king_of_boredom]

laugh out loud. honestly, the selectors are a bunch of vaginal wipes. how can you NOT put jaques in the team, let alone the damn squad? and who in the interwebs is mitchell johnson? couldnt they at least fill mcgraths shoes with someone with more experience with say...i dont know....gillespie or kaspro? fcuk.


i think katich's century saved him from almost certain replacement with jaques for the upcoming SA tour.

at least watson's back in the side, handy pace bowler and a talented batsmen, too.

my squad's better.

South africa will have a solid chance, if they can muster Ntini, Kallis and Nel from injury.

India won the ODI series against Pakistan. (Mark Waugh has no idea what he talks about, Pakistan favourities for the world cup?)

 

[copious]

lol Pakis had heaps of injuries, but India had played well throughout the series. Good to see Sachin back in form. On another note, there was a draw in the 20/20 match between NZ and West Indies. Shane bond 2/15 off 4 hours, that is class bowling.

Anyway the game was won by NZ via a bowl out, which I think is rather weird.

But Bond's strike meant that it all came down to the bowl-out, and the number of times the stumps were missed would have had old timers spluttering into their beer. The first six bowlers - 12 balls - failed to record one strike. But then Bond again came up trumps, hitting twice, and after Bradshaw recorded another two blanks, Scott Styris finished things off with his first ball.

 

[doingHSC]

i think its awesome actually

better than a draw

how else would u do it?

1 over match

bowl out favours the team with strong bowling line up/or those who can bowl straight , and the batsmen do nothing

This guy is going to play in the India v England series....for England.

 

[Huratio]

what do you guys think of the banning of ricky ponting's bat 'kahuna' or mike hussey's beast?

 

[tasha1188]

i thinks its horrible...maybe their banning it coz ponting and hussey did really well last season and they didnt like it...hehe...nah kidding...i dont really care...coz ponting and hussey will still do better witout that graphite bat...but they were pretty cool bats
