How good has cricket been this year

Good on you mate... they're great aren't they. You have a good game?

 

[djboonie]

Hard to get. Well done!

I got a start (24) before being toasted by my partner.

Took a couple of catches and a runout which was great!

The game came down to the second last over, ended up winning by 8 runs.

Flying down to Melbourne the past 6 weekends to play was definitely worth it!

That must have set you back a bit, but it sounds like it was worth it. Congrats!

Blew that game against the Pakis last night.

Worth every cent!

Yes, Maxwell & Finch had them.

Hogg's dropped catch didn't do us any favours either.

We just stopped, or so it appeared.

That Pakistan off-spinner was great.

Oh, you're right, our fielding was as bad as I've seen it for ages.

We didn't play him well at all. The slog n hope method was the only tactic we tried. At 7.5 an over to win when Maxwell got out we just tried to play the same method.

Look, it's 20/20 so you don't expect too much. (Now I sound like Bill O'Reilly)

It's like wanting a long-term relationship out of a one-night stand.

Yep. It reminds me of what you want cricket to be when you are 6 or 7.

It is like wanting a crayon drawing to be a Renoir.

 

[Woodside Hawk]

Sure, it's s**t cricket, but England look like being done by the NETHERLANDS! Can this year of cricket get any better?

5/47 chasing 134 currently.

 

[Woodside Hawk]

Ah...6/52.

Go Netherlands!

 

[grizzlym]

Ah...6/52.

Go Netherlands!

Most excellent.

 

[Woodside Hawk]

7/74! No real batsmen left, only Broad & Bresnan to steer them home.

England need 60 from 29...

 

[Langford4FBOTC]

They almost knocked over the Saffas a few days ago. Would love for them to get up here.

 

[Woodside Hawk]

My apologies, Bresnan was run out earlier.

Amazing! 8/76! Jordan holes out.

 

[Woodside Hawk]

Broad's gone for 4. It's 9/86.

Great stuff from Netherlands.

 

[Langford4FBOTC]

Love it

 

[Woodside Hawk]

Run out! All out for 88 from 17.4 overs. What an embarrassment for England, but sensational effort from the Netherlands. Incredible.

 

[grizzlym]

Yep, if we're going to crash out, I want to see the Poms go down too.
