Cricket...

it's not a very well-advised spoof, if it even is one.

DNW: Bowden.

Also, that article is really fucking terrible.

I might be wrong, but I seem to recall Ian "cunt" Healy calling Symonds a gollywog a few years back?

He's annoying, but also makes the correct decisions most of the time.

He can be correct without being knobtastic.

xp Symonds sometimes actually looks like a golliwog doll though, and not in a remotely racist way. Hair, complexion and white zinc cream on his lips.

i'm just waiting for bowden to rip his coat off after he makes a fantastic caught-behind decision and thus reveal a shirt reading "I Belong To Jesus"

olz

And Yuvraj, the wonderkid, has 17 runs from 4 innings.

i thought that their bowling has been ok, considering how young the two quicks are.

stick a fork in him!

YUVRAJ Singh's miserable tour of Australia is almost certainly over after he was dismissed by a courier driver for two runs during a practice match in Canberra yesterday.

Whatever man, it's still a very "unprofessional" thing for a Channel 9 "commentator" to say.

exactly.

I agree totally. Sorry, I should have been clear on that.

and now Pakistan want the Oval result overturned
http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/pakistan/content/current/story/330349.html

"We have made the application to the ICC and they will consider it at the next cricket committee meeting," the official told Cricinfo.

Pakistan's case, he added, was strengthened by the fact that England supported the application when the matter was discussed at the executive board meeting of the ICC.

"We have moved the application on the basis of the ICC dropping the ball tampering charges against our team," the official added.

Inzamam told BBC's Urdu service that Pakistan should take a lead from the Indian board and push to change the result of the Oval Test. Inzamam was referring to the ICC's decision to drop Steve Bucknor from the Perth Test between India and Australia after the BCCI complained over Bucknor's umpiring in Sydney. Inzamam said the Pakistan board should pressurise the ICC because the ball tampering charges were eventually dropped. England won the series 3-0.

Why don't they do away with the game altogether and just argue for three weeks.

dammit i predicted that series at 3-0 and was incredibly smug about it afterwards

India withdraw tour quit threat

Shame.

"I mean, I'm not sensitive about it . . . but if I'm not your friend, if you're an opposition player or something like that, it is unacceptable."

WOW AUSTRALIA'S 2 SHITTY OPENERS OUT -- 2/13

3 DOWN ._.

RIP mr cricket's average in the 80s ;____;

5 OUT FOR FUCK NUTHING ;__;

I HATE MICHAEL CLARKE BTW.

BUT I CAN'T NOT LIKE MR CRICKET

clarke going off the boil again. drop him and put hodge in, damnit!

So we're officially getting shat upon now.

Can someone please tell me why India is not declaring?

oh fuck this, this final day has pissed me right off.

As I see it there are two options for India:

1. Declare, have a slim hope in hell of getting Australia all out before stumps
2. Stay in like fucking twats and force a draw

Streaker beat down

http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2008/03/04/streakerdown_wideweb__470x325,0.jpg

Wait, how does the streaker fit into the rules???

White Sox fans like cricket now?

ha. a spokesman for the International Cricket Council said: "He is not going to be charged because he brought down a spectator who entered the ground." Although section 4.2 of the council's code of conduct says players may be punished for assaulting spectators, the spokesman would not elaborate when asked if his words meant players could try to bring down streakers.

http://media.smh.com.au/?category=Breaking%20News&rid=36032 video.

So... was that 5 points?

5 runs, yes.

Handy Hint: Don't let your bros order Indian food when India is playing cricket? My bros and I were watching the cricket (LOL forever at Roy's elbowsmash at the streaker...that's the first time they've shown a streaker on the telly for YEARS) and we ordered Indian. SO IT DIDN'T GET DELIVERED FOR FUCKING AGES!!

:D

(for reference, this is the "rules of cricket" cricket thread, and the one for discussion of cricket events is "Cricket" without an ellipsis)

That's why I posted that link here, Louis.

Yeah, I know! I was just anticipating a rush of off-topic blabber.

Hello hello, it's back again

oh yes

Man, I thought this thread said "Chiclet". : (

Yeah Verin came back with a massive bang in this one and pretty much definitively showed why she was far and away the most awesome Aes Sedai in the book IMO.
