Cricket

the BCCI run cricket now so sit tight and accept it dude

anyway I seen no Aus domestic fixtures on cricinfo live scores page, maybe they're hushing that up as well

at least Katto will be unable to score 400 bazillion runs this time, being in the national side and all that

who will come to the FORE

Indian cricket grounds need to get some mutherfukin floodlights. It's 2008 and we're STILL going off for "bad light"???

Draw declared. I fancy India might have gone on to win that.

So the 2nd test is turning into a rout and Sharma has Ponting's number it would seem!

Warne will be back out of retirement before long.

^^^^^^

srsly want that cunt to come back

lolz

also

o bangladesh :(

i'm pleased Shaun Marsh has been called up ^_^

next test on spinner's wicket u__u

cameron white for 13-wicket match haul, harbhajan to be banned for life after racist punching incident

lol

was there good footage of the Khan/Hayden incident? it sounds like it would make an A+ animated gif.

Not sure tbh. Anything involving Sreesanth dancing would make an A+ animated gif tho so there's probably tons of apposite material out there.

Anyway, I'm gwana bed, hopefully by the time I wake someone will have Nancy Kerriganned Krazy Krejza and Andrew Symonds will be on the next flight in.

srsly fuck sutherland tho

good start for AUSSIEE.

so the quicks are allegedly going to emulate the Indians' reverse swing.....

btw i h8 watson

Oh dear, prepare for certain English defeat.

If Australia get the runs tomorrow, it will be the most undeserved series draw in the history of forever. Fortunately, they won't. The real Ashes is coming up in a coupla weeks, can't wait.

juvenile lol at "get the runs"

yeah can't wait for this shit to end tbh

Botham STFU plz

he is good at charity walks and jingoism, he should stick to those

What's he been saying now? Usual pre-ashes nonsense? In other news congrats to england for their glorious hong kong sixes win over canada.

HE SAID ENGLAND WILL WIN THE ASHES 5=0

oops caps

and 5-0

God he's a berk. Like Sophia Gardens is a results pitch (if anyone other than the woeful Glamorgan is playing). Like either side is remotely capable of taking twenty at the Oval unless Monty develops something approaching variation; an arm ball, at least, would be nice. I'd incline to 1-1, maybe 2-1 England, myself, but the bat will dominate. Is it Lords, Sophia Gardens, Trent Bridge, Edgbaston, Oval? I know Old Trafford lost its spot (which is a spectacular case of the ECB shooting itself in the foot, given that that's the one strip that Harmison always looks the most terrifying bowler in the world on) the omission of Headingley is also less than bright in terms of actually wanting england to win games.

So England to win at Trent Bridge thanks to Jimmy Anderson, Aus at Lords thanks to Clark and Johnson, High scoring draws in Cardiff and at the Oval, so it's all down to Edgbaston. And Botham's a pillock.

That makes sense. I will try to make my own prediction once I see how "the lads" fare in their titanic 2-Test clash with tonight's Border-Gavaskar champions.

such ineptness yesterday. we had india 6 for 160-something and then took the foot off the throat because of the slow over rate. i reckon cricket aus bigwigs might've made ponting's decision for him, in which case they should resign if they want to put sponsors ahead of saving a series; but surely bowling watson off a short run would've been better than mr cricket's harmless trundling, clarke, white etc.

levelling the india series wouuld be worth ponting missing all the games vs the kiwis, imo.

SACK PONTING

He's already lower than Mark Taylor levels. Fuck, he's almost at Kim Hughes levels.

(And no, this does not mean promote Michael Clarke.)

Krejza for captain!

Three words: BRING BACK BOOF

(Those words are sponsored by A Salute to the Legends of the Sheffield Shield)

Weird how Peter Siddle didn't get another Test. I think he has something.

And are you talking about Mark Cosgrove?

No, I'm saying bring Darren Lehmann out of retirement (this was the sports policy of a minor Australian political party).

Yeah I know, but there's a new baby BOOF out there nowadays, a maverick who can't tidy his room. I think he's exactly what you need.

Yeah but I don't think Mark Cosgrove will ever come to terms with being a drinking, smoking, gambling fat bastard like Boof did.

Also racist, cf. "Black bastards!" when given out against Sri Lanka

Brilliant batsman mind.

And heroic Jayasuriya-style flat-left-arm pie-chucker to boot

Later sold out and turned his back on the great state of South Australia to become a spokesman for XXXX.

AUSTRALIA VERSUS AUSTRALIA TWENTY20 -- TONIGHT!!

As I have to get up at the crack of dawn to check out a place at Drummoyne, I'll be here watching the madness.

My mistake, it's Australia versus the Johnnie Walker XI.

OMG ROY IS BACK

as a long-time supporter of mr walker's product, i am excited

lol, what on earth ARE they wearing??

That bloody grey and gold again!

OMG THEY HAVE RED CARPET TONIGHT
