Ricky Ponting or Peter Siddle?

I don’t think it’s the Marsh brothers

Got to set the mood.

We might be in a bit of trouble here. Pitch has flattened out and sun is out. Not much happening for.the fast bowlers. Hopefully the pitch starts to spin and.Gary plays his part. We will need to grind this one out.

I mean, Pat is a handsome man… but the boy is taken…

By his loving partner…. Sorry SpiderBurton22

 

[big_e]

When do we announce our team to WI?
Would be curious who gets picked to go as the spinner/s

Why would only 1 reserve player and a fast bowler at that be going over. Would you not take a reserve batter and bowler

** this contrived Test World Cup final. Anything in test cricket should not be decided off one match between teams. Just use the rankings to decide who is the best. At worst, make the championship a series.

I heartily endorse this sentiment

 

[Caracas]

I heartily endorse this sentiment

I take it we’re losing.

 

[TruRoo]

I take it we’re losing.

You sound like my wife.

Babe, nobody is “losing in cricket” at any given moment in the game.


But yes. We are losing. Hard.

My (European) wife and daughter both think it's hilarious to ask me "who's winning?" when I'm watching test cricket.

 

[Sillygit]

Ah, we ****ed it.

 

[Samsquanch]

Ah, we ****ed it.

Whoever would have thought that uzzie was cooked, marnus is useless, green is useless or that head and carey would throw away their wickets like madmen to basically hand the mortal enemy their holy grail on a platter?

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Don't worry, this is set up for the ultimate South Africa choke.

Wat a great omen this was

 

[Gasometer]

69 runs Zondor

 

[Groucho]

Oh well that’s cricket. Pitch completely flattened out into a road on the third day under sunny skies. Them’s the breaks

 

[Damien Sandow]

Keep it up SA.

 

[big_e]

?

It's a 16-player squad - the XI playing in the WTC plus Boland, Doggett, Kuhnemann, Konstas and Inglis.

Turns out that you might have been right.

This SA team winning a cup of any type is an insult to the actual good Afrikaans teams from history who have traditionally always choked and flopped.

Maybe the Cronje curse has been lifted?

Although, I think someone posted an "It's Happening!" in this thread and that might have made a difference.

I can only hope that Nate7 has had a vision from the future.

** Amazon prime and ** this contrived Test World Cup final.

Anything in test cricket should not be decided off one match between teams. Just use the rankings to decide who is the best. At worst, make the championship a series.

I wouldnt worry too much about the test championship. Its a farce no matter which way anybody looks at it with teams playing different amounts of tests in the cycle.I dont think anyone besides the winners take it too seriously

Nah, no hallucinogens this time.
May call John the bookie and ask what went wrong.

That can only mean the morning glory in your back yard has stopped flowering.

 

[krakouers]

well, Congrats to SA then
