OK but can you please explain why the video screen at one stage said "Fruit and vegetables must not be taken out of Eden Park"

WTF?

^ LOL, saw that. I thought I must have read it wrong.

Yeah, WTF?

Those dastardly Queensland fruit flies apparently.

How's this for a delivery! (first one)



Game is on fox sports now

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Couple of sooky lalas bitching about the Cronje ball. 15 years after the fact. Freaking losers.

 

[Gasometer]

Gawd I hope we can make the Final...please please....

 

[niko11]

Apparently the S.C.G pitch is more suited to the Indians.. So they said on SEN last night..

been an Aussie invasion ! Found a dozen Queensland fruit fly in a neighbouring suburb so there's a big zone in Auckland where you cant move fruit or veges around. Haven't heard anything for a while so hopefully they've managed to eradicate it

 

[KiwiRoo]

Everyone inside! NOW!!!!

some places in NZ you wouldn't need a curfew ! ..everything closes at 8pm !

Australia won the toss and has elected to bat first.

I don't want to make this a "I'm not racist, but' post...but.

This Duckworth-Lewis bloke needs to be taken out back. This method of gaming is a disgrace and doesn't make any f***ing sense.

Don't sour grape me, fools. If the result was switched, I'd still be fuming just like when North receives a free kick that wasn't there.

I took a sickie to go to the 1992 WC Final, which was great, until I arrived at work the next day coughing and spluttering to be told by my then boss "Saw you on tv. Next time may I suggest you purchase tickets further back, presuming you don't wish to be spotted." Luckily said boss was a cricket tragic who completely understood.

 

[Hojuman]

Bloody nervous though....

 

[Twinkletoes]

The SCG crowd sounds like an Eden Gardens crowd, screaming non stop. Listening to this is like the South African soccer WC with the bloody Vuvuzelas!

 

[Hojuman]

Some " dribble " stats on the coverage....blah
blah...blah....
If this happens, if that happens...
If hojuman drinks 5 beers too many he throws up....

You fume when North receives a lucky free?

Don't want to mozz him, but geez Smithy is in fine form

Ah ok. Thought it may have been some weird NZ equivalent of liquor licensing laws, involving fruit and veg.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

After a summer of making them our bitches, India are a legitimate chance today

 

[Hojuman]

Great by Finchy. Guided Smith to his 100 in quick time.

Let loose big fella !
