I prefer quirky, it sounds better.

Hey Evermind just curious how did you come to like cricket living in Singapore?

Still a colony, and we get the cricket channel, and I spent my first 12 years in India.

And when did Clarke run over your cat?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Good bowling change by Ponting, Siddle's in everything. Looking forward to seeing them wrap up the tail after lunch.

 

[Evermind]

And when did Clarke run over your cat?

Not the first person to hate Clarke, TBH.

Why did you have to remind me of his smug little face?

 

[Nate]

Series win coming up after lunch! So amped.

How did you end up liking cricket? Aren't you chinese by ethnicity?

 

[Matt79]

Katich!

"He was wided"

Does Mark Nicholas speak English as a first language?

And when did Clarke run over your cat?

I for one admire his determination to play with the one bounce rule in Test cricket.

 

[silentstriker]

Good to see Australia win here. This is going to be a very interesting next 1-2 years in Test cricket I feel. Really look forward to it!

Yes I moved here when I was 6 and one day in 1998/99 season I was so bored I ended up watching and grew to like it. I think it was the Ashes series when Australia we beginning it's supremacy. Still remember Steve Waugh batting with MacGill and McGrath near the end of the day, and Darren Gough removed them both promptly.

Would bring Lee back in without a second thought. Carried the side for nearly two years, deserves more than some Indian tests and a few unlucky tests where his foot was broken before I lose faith in him.

So much knee-jerk re: this attack.

Spot on.

re this series: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I don't know what you Aussie fans would do if you actually didn't have a good team. You guys were going bonkers over this team, and it doesn't seem that bad.

 

[Briony]

Australia should win imminently with SA's dreadful tail ready to come into play.

A great win and probably unexpected. The only disappointment from a world cricket perspective is that SA barely showed up which is an indictment upon them on their own soil. They seemed to lack intensity whereas we took a punt on new blokes who have risen to the task set. Our batsmen have sold their wickets much more dearly and the bowlers have been disciplined and lethal at times. There's still room for improvement in our fielding with some catches going down. Luckily they weren't as costly as for instance the one Graeme Smith dropped on day one.

Borrowin' some lines from Nelly:

"We.. are.. number one - no matter if you like it
Here take it sit down and write it
We.. are.. number one
Hey hey hey hey hey hey - now let me ask you man
What does it take to be number one?
Two is not a winner and three nobody remembers (hey)
What does it take to be number one?
Hey hey hey hey.."

 

[Evermind]

Good to see Australia win here.

Why?!

 

[Ikki]

Why?!

Probably has something to do with the all-pace-specialists.

 

[GIMH]

No you didn't actually, a few other losers got in before you.
