Is Cricket 'DEAD' Thread

[Woodside Hawk]

Go Hilfenhaus you good thing!

 

[Woodside Hawk]

And Peter Siddle come on down!!

I'm enjoying this...

 

[go hawks!!!]

I go and hit 50 golf balls at the range and come back to watch a 'VICTORIAN' take a hat-trick....wow...7-197....put these poms to bed!

What are you talking to us for GH. Get back on the bloody golf range... there's still 3 wickets to get!

Johnson has looked lost since the Saffers came out here.

 

[Henry Jr]

Another one!

 

[Woodside Hawk]

And Siddle has SIX!

...and a frickin' rain break.

Just when things were looking up for test cricket, eh?

Johnson seems to lose it whenever they rest him. Just play him till he breaks down - they'll probably get the same amount of useful cricket out of him!

 

[Woodside Hawk]

Wait...scratch that...no rain break...what's going on here??

 

[Henry Jr]

And he's Victorian

 

[Henry Jr]

And Symbols puts one down.....

 

[Woodside Hawk]

And he's Victorian

Not only that, he's a Gippsland boy.

Good stock, those Gippsland boys...Gary Ayres, Ablett...oh, of course, I nearly forgot, my good self..

All happening now. Damn good day's cricket, really!

 

[IBleedBrownNGold]

Perhaps the rebirth of cricket, if the Aussies can win the first test. Should make things interesting. Perhaps even Galon will jump on board?

 

[Henry Jr]

When was the last time we saw this tactic of pushing the field back work?

Bowl em out!

 

[Buddy Guy]

Ponting setting fields to Ian Bell, Ian Bell, on 50 that you would set to Tendulkar on 200 in a Bangalore dust bowl.

 

[Buddy Guy]

For those that say you loved Cricket but your loosing interest, would you say you interest in Australian Football has got stonger?

5 years ago i liked them both equally. Now i'm a footy tragic and have a passing interest in Cricket...

Cant believe I just found this thread.
I am exactly like you HI.
Five years ago Cricket was probably just ahead of footy for me.
To say i am footy tragic now is seriously understating it.
BigFooty, in particuar the Hawks board has done that to me and I couldnt be happier.

As much as us Victorians love having Peter Siddle in the side, Damian Martyn made a good point today regarding the non-inclusion of Dougie.

"How can they not pick Bollinger when he is ranked the 7th best bowler in the world!"

And in our next episode of "Let's take advice from Damien Martyn...."

Cricket brother.

Why isn't my third cousin, Shaun TAITA opening the bowling for the test side?

Because the game has more than 40 overs and when force to wear white, Tait gets sad.

The fact that he had a CA contract to play T20 was insane.

And Symbols puts one down.....

Tim Paine would have caught it.

Ponting setting fields to Ian Bell, Ian Bell, on 50 that you would set to Tendulkar on 200 in a Bangalore dust bowl.

Agreed.

 

[Willie_Rioli]

wow, what a fantastic day of cricket!
the question should now be 'Is the Cricket "Dead" Thread' dead?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Isn't there a juice bottle that needs its top screwed back on?

If it was televised, you'd probably watch that too.

 

[moginie]

It's my youngest's birthday today & she witnessed a hat trick by a bloke celebrating his birthday.

Gee, the ball that got Prior was an absolute corker.

And yes, Johnson looks lost. His front shoulder is dropping lower too, making his direction completely unpredictable.

 

[Henry Jr]

Also, what exactly has this Troy Colley brought to the table since he defected from the Poms to us as bowling coach?

I reckon we have gone backwards in that regard.

I didn't see a single ball today. My apathy is now official.

have a look at the highlights of the hat-trick. That'll put a spring in your step.

Not a bad hat-trick ball ehhh!! Perfect for a 6"5 tailender

Only caught a dozen or so overs today... happily this was one of them. Very happy he's shown all the doubters up in the best way possible.

I've always thought this series could be decided by the form of the respective 7 to 9 batsman. They're the ones who turn 300's into 500's and kill your spirit. Early days, but the woodchopper has struck the first blow.

Michael Clarke, you suck.
