*Official* England in Australia (2 T20 & 7 ODIs)

[Burgey]

Have played for five or six years now. I'd make a point of playing against you next season but I'd probably be restricted out of your grade...

Lol... You may well be, though do what I did and write a letter, you'll be right.

There's a massive difference to facing bowling to your liking than making an error and getting a let off. You take the bowling as you find it - once you make the error, the consequences are out of your hands - and sometimes out of the fielder's too.

Bottom feeder gone now.

If Burgey meant what I think he meant then you just rather proved his point..

Explain.

 

[Spark]

Let's hope he bowls a lot lot better than he fields

 

[Spark]

That's better.

 

[vcs]

LOL, what a horrendous delivery.

 

[Jono]

England trying to smash every ball. Third wicket now.

 

[Ruckus]

haha O'Keefe > EGO

 

[vcs]

What a comeback!

KP, learn to respect spinners a bit, once in a while.

 

[Spark]

absolutely manic out there, England are trying to finish this in 10 overs

 

[Jono]

Restricted out of his league for being too good he meant.

 

[Manee]

This O'Keefe has a rather bizarre record. Impeccable batting and bowling record in FC, which makes me wonder why he didn't get a Test go ahead of Doherty and Beer. But then, in OD cricket, an average batting record and dire bowling record.

O'Keefe....*facepalm*

 

[Burgey]

Hussey takes one above his head - cue Victorian commentators to rave about "taking the grab".

 

[Uppercut]

Explain.

Never mind, he didn't mean what I thought he meant.

Took "never played a day in your life" to be the opposite of "never worked a day in your life".

 

[morgieb]

And as I post that he takes a wicket. WAG

It's a conspiracy IMO. Neither O'Keefe nor Copeland have been at all good in limited overs cricket so far, so the selectors know that if they pick them for the PM's XI, in the T20I team etc they'll do poorly. The public will judge their Test prospects based on it and the heat to pick them will die down so they can stick with Beer and Hilfenhaus.

P.S. There's some anti-establishment rhetoric for you.

Think that might've been it

While you're mentioning sayings, I've heard the expression 'gruber' quite a bit from NZ and Aussie commentators, what does it mean?

 

[King Pietersen]

What's Morgan doing leaving his first delivery? Get a move on, and get it hit son.

Ahh, I see. Fair enough.
