*Official* Match 40 - Australia v Pakistan

[social]

Its just frustrating to see Binga bowl his heart out from one end only for likes of Johnson and Tait to undo all his good work.

Relax

They bowl like this most games and have got records that most people would die for

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Second over from Johnson looking a little better. Really need him to have an "on" day.

 

[Burgey]

Bit different, not like they go up to the goalkeeper and give him hell is it?

Sometimes, but generally no.
They just touch/ abuse officials and supporters and there's never a thought of a goal being taken away. Insane suggestion - "Oooh, he hurt my feelings, give me another bat!"

Spare me.

 

[Spark]

**** off Tait. Horrible fielding.

Well you've come down in the last shower if you think previous generations didn't indulge in it. And you plainly watch **** all sport too, if you think it's limited to cricket.

Want totale goals off blokes in football for ridiculous celebrations of goals? Just a rank stupid post mate.

Depends how far back you want to go in cricket. Perhaps you genuinely think there's no difference bewteen what's gone on the last 20 years or so and what happened previously. I'm astonished if you do, but i suppose it's possible. As for other sports, stupid as the footy celebrations are, there's a clear difference. And I suspect we won't be seeing too much absue being dished out in the 6-Nations games theis weekend, for fairly obvious reasons. Granted it might improve tennis as a spectacle though. Still, never mind facts - easier by far to trask blokes who hold a different opinion. As i said, quality post mate, which is a shame from someone who's usually way better.

Why are they bowling on their pads..!!?

 

[tooextracool]

And if Ambrose was 5' 2" and not 6'8", he could bowl first change

Ambrose could bowl 60 balls in a one day game on exactly the same spot. If you think he just rolled out of his mother's womb with this ability then you are quite clearly mistaken.

**** off Tait. Horrible fielding.

Surely mid-on is not the most ideal place to hide him.

No because they don't touch and abuse officials when they score goals. But when they do do it they get sent off. Cricket doesn't have an equivalent.
We just allow our players to scream at umpires "that's piss weak" etc etc and give them a slap on the wrists and take away one tenth of their pay.

 

[Top_Cat]

What are the odds that two Pkistani players would pull up with injured knees?

 

[Shri]

haha yeah.....

Do you post anything other than the smilie in the forum?

 

[Noble One]

Can anything be more worse than a pause in the action and being forced to listen to Keisha over the ground PA?

You won't see it in six nations because it's a penalty goal kicking competition. If you want to punish miscreants behaviour, make people watch a six nations match. What a dirge.

You can't take a wicket off someone for giving people a send off. Sure, fine or suspend them, but you can't take a wicket away. Seriously.

Haha, when a footballer touches an official he's sent off? What, three aside this week int he EPL is it Marcuss? Tosh.

So you want a wicket taken away too do you? If the players aren't dealt with after the game that's an administrative problem. To take a wicket away is borderline insanity

In any event, Pakistan doing it easily here. In need of two wickets very quickly here. Change it up with Watson or Crayfish IMO. Maybe even Smith.

 

[Spark]

Not good.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oooo.

Outside the line?

EDIT: Nah, yer eyes are going, Brumby. Gonesville.

 

[Spark]

Well. That looked less out than the last one.

 

[Spark]

Haha I change my mind. That looks rather out.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Looked out to me live, only height can save him.

Lee has been inspiring today. We have the 34 year old ageing warrior completely outbowling two pace bowlers who should be in the peak of their careers.
