Wow, Ashton Agar.

 

[Mister B]

So that's one filthy soap dodging *er gone. 9 more in a hurry boys.

 

[Bonz]

Would love us to bowl out Root...

If he keeps gaining in confidence he will be as pleasant as a boil on your backside by the time the ashes are over and done with.

Think we are bowling pretty well to him. Few have gone close to the edge and a couple nearly trapping him in front.

 

[Mister B]

So it would be like 12 pm there and they are pretty much playing under lights already. What a miserable shithole of a country. If they had any brains they would have left all the convicts in England and shipped all the civilians out here.

Warner to take care of him at the lunch break if needs be.

 

[Danair]

Trott actually playing some shots!

 

[Bonz]

And hopefully with that we have gotten rid of the Root of our problems.

 

[Danair]

s**t, I thought it was Trott!

 

[Mister B]

On ya way Root. Warner got more fist on your face than you did bat on ball right there.

 

[Danair]

Two South Africans at the crease

 

[Mister B]

Oh FFS! Another series where every Australian wicket is going to be checked for a no ball? Was nowhere near it. Get the * outta there KP!

 

[Bonz]

Great wicket there!!!!

Go Siddle!!!

Didn't get to see the Aussies bat, but the ole 'anything you can do, our crack team of bowlers can do better' rule seems to have applied. Let's see how we go day 2.

Conversation with my Father perfectly summed up last nights cricket action.

Dad: "What did we bowl the Pom's out for? Need to know if I am going to the pub tonight". (There is a group of Englishmen at the pub that is constantly giving him crap about Australia's recent cricket performances)

Me: "We bowled them out for 215".

Dad: "Good" *Starts laughing*

Me: "But now we are 4 for 70"

Dad: "Well it looks like I am going to be F****** sober aren't I?"



I guess this is what it feels like to be a Richmond fan isn't it? So many hopes always destroyed.

 

[strauchanie59]

Was an excellent start. Thought if we could go in at stumps at the minimum 1 down we'd be in pole position. Just sat there in disbelief as Watto then Cowan went, same shot, same result.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

AGAR WHAT A GUN

 

[Danair]

Wow, Ashton Agar.

I said it!

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

tail end of the batting order...let them out 1st next time #nailedit

 

[Ships]

Yeah wow, what an innings from the young fella. I was riveted.

 

[RW]

Another day, another Australian batting collapse.

Bump

Nice hundred by Warner today for the Blues.

Finding it hard to get used to this one day domestic comp with all the games being played at suburban Sydney venues.

TBH it feels like a lightning premiership and not a real competition. If the players feel the same it wont be good for cricket in this country at all.

I totally agree, I can't understand it at all. Apparently Channel 9 wants to use it as a chance to trial retired players as commentators, CA actually had to pay them to broadcast it. But I don't think it's good for the game and looking at the cricket board on BF many are unhappy about the direction cricket is heading, CA seem to be losing touch.
