Test The Ashes Fifth Test January 4-8 1000hrs @ The SCG

[Pistol Night]

That's what I thought - the 2nd or 3rd at the latest, and hence the New Year test name

The 4th just seems a little too late to start

I remember Michael Bevans famous last ball four game was NY Day

Fake a sore back

Don't need to fake that after the age of 30

Yeah but a bit of mayo buys you a day if executed properly. Pinched nerve is my go to followed by a grimace

That's true, just got to remember not to bend over quickly or they'll catch on to it

For Star Wars nerds, there are 1138 people watching this thread at the moment.

THX for that.

Stupid not to take advantage of the weekend but that's CA for you. Mind you it will probably rain on Saturday lol.

First 3 days sold out regardless. I always hate the new years test starting late as you are back at work by that stage. I guess Sydney people just take the extra days leave every year.

He must redeem!

Thanks Kitboga.

The Pies and Carlton played on NYE in 1999, to mark entering the 2000s.

Fev kicked a neat dozen.

Geez he played well that game, but you can win a lot of bets knowing that it wasn't him that won player of the match.

Good bit of trivia

I have kids in their 30s I have to fake having a good back half the time.

Struggled to chase a 170 odd that our opponents had scored in 43 overs. ODIs have come a long way in 30 years.

Edit. Forget it was rain effected but the point remains.

I went to my GP with a sore back once and he offered to write me a prescription saying: “No vacuuming for six months.”
I really should have accepted it — it was the foreboding of an adverse reaction on the home front that stopped me.

Shoulda asked for Oxys instead.

Actually it feels like ODI's have gone a long way away. Completely replaced by the BBL as a feature of the Australian Summer.
