**Official** New Zealand in Australia

[Flem274*]

No offence but Clarke has one and he isnt a Maori - he's simply a tragic

Hey if Clarke has one, fair game. I was just saying if it was about McCullum (missed the CA bit) you'd look a bit silly.

Michael's mystery continues - Cricket - Sport - smh.com.au

Apparently it's in Arabic. Any idea what it could mean?

Apparently it's that quote that Langer uses... 'the pain of discipline is nothing like the pain of disappointment'... can't recall the actual origin of the quote.

Good god. If there's one figure more odious than Ricky Ponting as a captaincy candidate in all of Australia, they've managed to find him.

Totally agreed. He really annoys me, can't put my finger on why, but he does.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Totally agreed. He really annoys me, can't put my finger on why, but he does.

Well, Gayle isn't telling either. Any guy that can rile up Mr Cucumber to the extent he did has to have something tangible that's mighty irritating.

 

[Evermind]

Totally agreed. He really annoys me, can't put my finger on why, but he does.

Overwhelming smugness - that's my guess.

 

[four_or_six]

Overwhelming smugness - that's my guess.

Yeah, most likely.

 

[Julian87]

Think I said this before, but McGain MUST be playing in this series.

a) We need an ODI spinner anyways
b) Some international cricket infront of large crowds and spending time with the team can only be a good thing.

Could not agree more.

 

[Julian87]

Clarke has always seemed to me to be a classical example of someone that has spent so long in the insulated environment that comes with being a sports star that he really has no clue about the outside world

Comments like these just reinforce that opinion plus further (if possible) endorse the opinion that he's surrounded by idiots who dont know right from wrong or, if they do, are too scared to speak lest it put an end to the gravy train they are on

I didn't know Dr Phil was a cricket fan.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Blatant bad journalism, if you ask me. Did any one actually hear the interview? I'm pretty sure (could be wrong) he was asked whether they had thought about losing the series, and he called that unthinkable. Fair comment for mine.

 

[Zinzan]

Nice

I love it when NZ gets to play on the MCG.
It's like "Guys, you get to play on an adult-size ground this week".

 

[Athlai]

I love the MCG, remember when Oram hit that six? Good times.

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah. We don't get to play there very often, so I'm really going to enjoy seeing them out there today.

 

[pasag]

Yeah, pity I can't go. Beautiful day out.

Yeah, win or lose, its just really great to watch NZ at the MCG. Hopefully its another tight match. I have scheduled a no-study day again today so....

 

[Johnners]

Hoping Ferguson gets to make his debut

Why would you want to get a quote from somebody else tattooed onto your body? Seems crazy to me, especially if it's in a foreign language.

I think Justin pulled it out of his own arse.

Haha yeah quote yourself. Zac mate you should get a tattoo on your wrist:

Could've pulled it out of Tugga's
