turn. cricket. on. now.

Mitchy Johnson 5/2 of 20 balls. Awesome stuff.

How good was that from MG Johnson. The guy's a stud.

Best bit of bowling I've seen for ages. Didn't use to rate Johno I gotta admit but there's no denying it now he's world class, gun!

Same here i never rated him but he's prooved me wrong.

Good to see Siddle get a wicket , Boucher was going the slog i no but just nice to have it in his stats.

He deserved it, was quite consistent in his line and looked far more threatening than Lee or Symonds and was also getting most of the reverse swing that was going on, just didn't also have the angles that Johnson was getting to trouble the batsmen. Really seems to be doing a very decent job filling for Clark in terms of the stock line & length bowler.

This seems to be a reverse from India though, where it was our bowling that was rather subpar where we didn't even look like getting 10 wickets at times yet we were notching up rater large scores. Now it's almost the opposite and our batsmen looking meek while our bowlers are looking the force (despite Krezja needing to tighten up big time, conceding about 36% of RSA's runs alone is god awful)

Anyone see that howler from the umpy?

How anyone could think he hit that let alone a professional umpire is teeerrible.

Speaking of teeerrible, how bout them Victory boys??? Conceding 4 goals to Newcastle....

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Goin to the DOD Cricket tomoz, should be a blast. Hopefully we can pick up a bat and ball somewhere along the way.

 

[CHBench]

Steering away from the sport.
Are we all going to die in 2012? Because apparently everything that is wrong with the earth now will all explode into one massive problem that will kill us all in 2012. Has anyone else noticed that all the bad things are predicted in 2012?
That's shit.
I at least wanted a chance to play some lawn bowls with the girls in my old age.

 

[StFly]

What, lawn bowls is too good for us men now? Oh I see how it is!

Predictions always bring in groups of followers or influence opinions, I'm not putting too much in stock with the 2012 cries as right now it's just conjecture and a "roundabout" date for all doomsday prophecies atm.

Hey Mighty Mods, Can I humbly suggest that this magnificent thread be placed into the Animal Enclosure now?

 

[rdhopkins2]

How's things going guys? It's been a lovely day in Melbourne. 2 days until Christmas, the shopping is done. Howzat....yes tickets for the boxing day test have been obtained! wohoo! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, especially the Saints supporters who haven't found the post thread button. Perhaps Kildo you should set up an introductions thread on this forum also with guidance on how to post Take it easy.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

What, all 3 active Saints posters? They've already made threads.

Bay 13 rd?

Gonna be awesome!

Although not looking forward to the possibility of a $229 fine...

 

[rdhopkins2]

Yeh B13 for me or close with a bit of atmosphere. Hopefully the Vic Pol use a little common sense. It will be interesting to see how they deal with things. Think the crowd will be well behaved overall, not too many fights or stuff thrown. Difference between being a noob and having fun.

The overpolicing these days just irks me....could very well be my last year of attending...cheaper & more fun to have a few mates round for a bbq n beers and watch it on Foxtel. The day I am forced to sit in my seat and shout ra ra jolly good shot sir will be the day I stop going to the cricket.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Yeah the fun police have ruined it. I really dont see the harm in beach balls, beer cup snakes, mexican waves...

Never seen anyone killed by a beach ball. Cup snakes never hurt anyone, and only dipshits throw crap up in mexican waves (and the only people who do are Bay13'ers and fellow Bay13er's dont really care (much) if they get hit with a cup or beer.

I lol'd at that police officer who was like 'our WA colleagues said the wave was a non-issue, so we're expecting a similar result here'. Tis a bit of a difference when it's 1. The WACA with a capacity of 4, and 2) theres no concentration of bogans aka B13. Plenty of waves for mine.

Alas, I'll enjoy it while I can. First time I'll be able to buy beer, so should be fun.

I want to go now just to celebrate you losing your purchasing of alcohol at major events virginity. Kodak moment right there!

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

It'll be a cracker. I wonder if they'll ask for ID. I look about 15.

Which is why I'll get in with a kids ticket.

$5 entry, shi chair!

I was wondering where NH had got to (been suspiciously quiet) :

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25001344-2862,00.html

A bus driver was taken to hospital last night after being attacked by two passengers.

The driver was asking to see tickets in the Campbellfield area when one passenger threw money at him, a source said.

A passenger and another person then ran off and the driver chased them.

The pair then turned on the driver and attacked him before returning to the bus and stealing the fare money.

 

[StFly]

That's when you pull a Keanu Reeves and sideswie the buss into them scaring them shitless into submission before they explode because the bus wasn't what the bomb was on.

It's true, I saw on this movie this one time...

[StFly]

Or take a golf club to them.

 

[Squizz]

Saw this in the paper.

Tim Watson :
In a St Kilda - Collingwood reserves match in 1999 the field umpire bounced the ball up into his face.

Funny in itself, but funnier when ruckman David Sierakowski started laughing and the umpire awarded a free kick against him (for laughing).

If anyone was pondering using the superdupermarket over the next few days, keep this in mind (with the Vic bushfires) :

and if anyone was (like me) feeling a bit sick in the guts about the amount of wildlife getting charcoled out in the bush, possibly you might consider these guys who I was put onto yesterday :

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Ya, shop at Coles on Friday, all 'profit' is going to the bushfires.

Not sure what they mean by profit. So I'd guess not every cent will go to the victims. But it's a good start.
