lol, to be honest I'm just a jealous pomme he is awsomely brilliant and I think I would have his attitude if I had his ability!

Noone is going to click on that being only your first post.

I'm not tricking anyone thats my opinion of watson. Btw what I would like to see most in AUS cricket would be a T20 with Tait, Nannes, Lee and Johnson in the same attack on a quick pitch, it would be sight to behold.

Sorry mate not interested, you look dodgy.

lol no worries man. I swear its legit I just need particpants for my uni project ,you dont put your name on it or anything just answer questions about sport atmosphere.

 

[Days of Grace]

What brilliant new members we have.

 

[student]

maybe but although murali has more wickets than warne, warne has a better cricketing brain plus even though biomechanics has proved it I still don't think murali bowls legally.

 

[Riggins]

I had to work tonight and missed the whole T20.
Did Warner switch hit at all?
Did Christo bowl badly or just unlucky?

No Warner didn't switch hit at all. Christian looked pretty mediocre compared to the trio of fast bowlers that Australia started with and he bowled a few average deliveries that were put away well - Franklin's six was from a half volley on leg stump.

Ponting has never played in a test match with Bnd where there has been 5 or 6 hundreds have been hit so thats lie number one.

Ponting did play in a test match where there were two hundreds scored but one of them was Pontings 157 where he smashed Bond repeatedly out of the attack.

Ponting averages over 100 in test matches involving Bond.

Final test of Bond's debut series...four hundreds in New Zealand's first innings (one of them Loue Vincent ffs), plus Warne managed his 99...bit of a road to say the least.


Aaaand in his 10 matches v SE Bond Ponting averages a mediocre (although hardly shambolic) 28...with one century.

.

A road you say, but how can that be Brett Lee took 8 wickets.

But I suppose like any average bowler then Bond is only good if there is a lot in the wicket.

 

[cbuts]

Yeah can understand why he did, to keep something in reserve, but considering Australia's form and that Bond was in rhythm, would've been best to bowl him out. Retrospect, of course.

we didnt have anything in reserve.... the only chance we had was for Bond and Vetorri to have picked up 2-3 more wickets in those final overs

Sorry for going slightly off topic but at least there was a student option for the Twenty20 at Wellington, at North Harbour Stadium for the Blues game in the opening round of the Super14 it was either adult or child with no student option (although the adult price of $20 for the stand I was in was hardly unreasonable). Given Massey Albany's university campus is within walking distance I found that to be a bit unusual.

NZ is the cheapest place i have ever been to watch top quality sport. All Blacks, Black Caps, League, Pheonix....

All costs alot more in Australia/UK....

Indeed. It seemed like a bit of textbook captaincy from Vettori. Needs to vary it a bit more.

Having a lol at Streetwise and people replying to him seriously

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

The aussies even owned the crowd, taking wickets when we started the _____ is a wanker chants

That Franklin 6 was straight over my head, so many rows back, massive.

Franklin looked pretty scratchy at times but at least he made runs.

Taylor's dismissal got some terrible booing. The umpires seemed pretty biased with wides and such as well.

 

[Noble One]

Some odd umpiring last night agreed. Would be more of an outcry if it wasn't for the fact both umpires are Kiwi.

 

[SilentOne]

We would have had more of a balanced game if two Aussies were umpiring tbh. Bowden has been a joke and a disgrace for a long time now.

Isn't he on the elite panel?

 

[Days of Grace]

Bowden is the Aussies' bitch, though.

 

[JBH001]

Still don't know why Dan didn't bowl himself and Bond out, tbh. Needed another two wickets at that stage to make a contest of it.
