2011-12 Summer of Cricket

[Dr. Pain]

The big bash players are doing well They can't leave the ball alone. It takes time to do it and can take years to feel comfortable doing it but it's a test so leave the ball alone. The short form of the game is killing test batting this summer.

So good to see the ball actually deviating. Batsmen these days are too soft. :-)

Suddenly 191 seems like a long way away.
One of the online betting companies was offerring India at $5.70 at the start of the Aussie innings, seemed crazy given Australia's recent issues with the bat!

[Jiminee]

A mate of mine put some money on India at $8 yesterday, that is even looking cheap now.
Amazing how quickly things change. Not seen any of todays action yet but apparently there are some long faces and pedestrian efforts being put in around the field.

[norbs]

I was listening to the last hour or so whilst out on the bike. It sounds like the pitch has flattened out and there are runs to be had. Fuck me, if Ponting can score 97 at lunch, it must be dead.

The Indians seem to play best when there is a stink on. At the moment there is nothing for them to complain about. I had to laugh the other day when they complained about having to wait outside the PMs place. Have they forgotten one S Ganguly. That fuck made every one wait.

[Jiminee]

Yeah I get the feeling they will invent some controversy soon to divert attention from the efforts.

Great knock Punter, specially given the pressure the side was under when you came to the wicket. Not the best way to bring it up, but none the less, great stuff.

Let's hope you play on for another ten years, just to piss Norbs off

Wow, I look forward to another 5 centuries if that's the case.

[Hazelb]

I hope so, that will piss you off even more!

Yup, been a good morning for them. I am glad he made the ton too. WD Punter.

Go ride something Norbs

He wields too much power behind the scenes. He has Pup's number and now he has a ton will be around for way too long. I wonder if he wasn't from Vagina Island you would hold him in such high regard?

Oh, c.j., 102kms this morning on the treadly. That enough for the day?

Hmm, yes hes a Tassie boy and that certainly means i want to see him do well. I however as per Skull noted on the radio today, hes not the player he used to be, but he still has a game that can bring runs, and no one is banging down the door to replace him...

Based on that, in my opinion, he should stay @ 4.

[Exar Kun]

Argh - how can Australia be beaten by New Zealand and then go on to demolish India like this?

[Jiminee]

Flat pitch and uninspired bowling. Plus they had to get it right eventually.
Lets not forget to, just over 24 hours ago they were 3/37 again. One more at that time and it could of been more of the usual.

[c.j]

that'll do
Pup is making it look easy.

[Dr. Pain]

They did well today It's all about being patient and cruise along. Good to see the Indians got their tonnes applauded too

[c.j]

Did you read what that lad tweeted?

Q) What do you call an Indian Cricketer with 100 next to his name?

A) A Bowler.

Took it in good spirit to, well at least Ishant Sharma did. One of their shit stirrers like Harbajan may not have been so graceful.
I smell some big storm in a teacup coming, especially if they go down 3 nil. Even with their recent practise, they are terrible losers - maybe even not the team itself, but the media following them - guys like Gavaskar and Ganguly.

This chilli thing on abc is a cracker

What a ripper. Go Harsha and Kerry, always good fun.

[Hazelb]

Awesome...iwas listening whilst preparing to cut in the hall way...talk about belly laugh!

[Vilante]

I knew they are serious chilli's but if they're stopping an Indian they must be hot.

I have some growing, as well as some of the new record holder Can't wait to serve some up to mates that think they like hot food hehe.

[matticooper]

awesome... that was great!

[Vilante]

Reckon Clarke will go for the 400? I'm guessing they'd like to have a bit of a crack before the end of the day.
