Starc 99. Sucks.

Starc 99. Sucks.

Yeah my fault. I started watching after he reached 90. Poor bugger didn't have a chance after I switched over. I reckon I've got more wickets than Murali doing that. Unfortunately mostly Australian.

Yeah going pear-shaped again, just a bit quicker than normal. Congrats to Manyrunsanover or whateva his name is-the quickest ever century on debut.

Where'd this guy come from? What a player!

P. Siddle.

This Test in Mahali will be a draw. Mark my words. That's even despite the day lost to bad weather.

Who are the better ones?

EFA

 

[Daveo Plonk]

Yeah, I was agreeing. With Clarke down, he'd be the best batsman we have.

 

[Groucho]

Things really going pear shaped now. Might be over by lunch!

I can't watch Hughes play spin. It's just embarrassing.

 

[Mr Reliable]

I'm no fan but he copped a stinker of an LB decision today, I reckon.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Aussies going not so well under Shane Watson's inspirational leadership in the 4th Test. 6/129 on day 1, having won the toss and batted.

All sharp objects and rope-like materials have been removed from Micky Arthur's reach.

Whoever did that should be thrown off a cliff.

They need to be at his fingertips 24/7.

We are an embarrassment

Cricket is about as interesting as politics these days. I barely give a sh_t who wins anymore.

Probably because it won't be us. I still love Test cricket though, the Ashes will be interesting. That swing bowler the Poms have fack me , he'll have Watson, Warner & Hughes gone in the first half hour.

I'd open the batting with Siddle and Starc....

Test cricket is great. I don't really care if we win or lose. I'm still trying to get past the time we bent the rules to play ''Aussie Kepler'' Wessels in OUR test side. As soon as his cricket career was over he was on the first plane home to South Africa. What a joke!

I'm watching the Shield Final right now. How Gannon gets away with his action amuses me. Silk's 92 not out. Can. Bat.

Can't blame the players. Blame the ******* coaches and selectors for putting them there and not actually having a transition plan in place instead of playing a bunch of old age pensioners for 10 years and not introducing young talent.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Wait until David Warner gets in. He'll show those Indians that he can do more than sledge. He's everything good about the Australian cricket team - a tough talking NSWelshman who can mix it mentally with the opposition. A future captain.

 

[Ghostwriter]

Can't blame the players. Blame the silly person coaches and selectors for putting them there and not actually having a transition plan in place instead of playing a bunch of old age pensioners for 10 years and not introducing young talent.

Finally we agree on something.

P. Siddle.

Make Peter Siddle spiritual captain now. Make it happen.....whoever isn't actually in charge.
