Yeah, I really don't see how a match against a bunch of Grade cricketers in the ACT is going to be helpful to the Indians for playing the Australians in Perth...

Good to see you can do that. Ponting is guilty of a poor choice of terminology rather than cheating.
Right. It's boring and predictable. The Indians are going to be slaughtered in Perth.

Only Chris Rogers is a serving Pura Cup player. Richard Sherlock might be playing in NZ for Central Districts though not sure. Mark Higgs stopped playing for SA a few years ago now. That India are 3/210 at tea is cause for concern, espeically since Manuka is a road. And Jaffer got out to Higgs; how embarrassing!
EDIT: Whoops, didn't realise Ed Cowan was playing too. And he just caught Dravid!

Don't know about that, I just don't see how this is going to be helpful to anyone but perhaps Cricket Australia for a bit of promotion of the game in the ACT.

Ed Cowan...He's hardly cemented himself as a good FC player though.

Yeah because tour matches are always true indications of how a team will go in tests.
I'm sure the Indians are fretting over this performance.

Very true .Jaffer makes 92 ,that indicates the quality of the bowling.
I never felt Ponting was at fault for once .I can't understand what all these fuss about Ponting ?
I have only trouble with Steve Bucknor .

You can't gain anything out of these matches though. That's why they're dumb.
A player scores runs: "Oh it means nothing, it's only an average, crappy ACT grade attack". If they fail: "Oh my god, they failed to score against an average, crappy ACT grade attack!"

Pretty much. In any case, the batsmen shouldn't be under the spotlight here - their objective in such games is simply to get time in the middle, as having 2 batsman score 200 each and not letting anyone else get some practice only hinders things. Same goes for the bowlers, in hoping everyone gets a bowl rather than two bowlers taking 5fer each.
Tour matches are a glorified training session to practice batting, bowling and fielding.

He said we (Iranians) don't have homosexuals at all.

Uh, no he didn't. Re-read what Slow love posted.
Edit: I'll save you the time.

I am Iranian. I don't need a translation to misinterpret what he said.

You're misinterpreting it. The way he said it was as if there are NO homosexuals. Not that they exist and are different.

No, he didn't actually. Re-read it again. The way he worded it in English gave people the impression that he was saying there are absolutely no homosexuals in Iran.
Read it this way:
"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country."
