Wait jobs still exist?

 

[Nate]

Yes, please have a bit of consideration for us poor fools at work... reading cricket forums...

Lol. Fair.

 

[honestbharani]

There was a time when cricket was an escape from having to work.. Nowadays, I work to escape from having to watch cricket..




NOTE: By cricket, I mean India playing away from the SC..

It was Dravid's 39th Birthday 0n 11th Jan.Any other players in recent times who played for so long or more?

Must be difficult when your nation is so small it only occupies one time zone.

Go and walk around outside in your ****ty climate for a while, the cold will keep you awake.

/warmupforthenextashes

Even with three timezones, ****s still lost.

[Jarquis]

Well if the deck's green and you've got 4 seamers then you've gotta back them and bowl first IMO. First morning is when they'll get the most out of it.

Alec Stewart was over 40 when he retired. That looks like the oldest in recent history...

Pretty happy my twins share a birthday with him. Was worth the induction to make it so.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yeah, wtf? 32?

Ponting would have batted!

 

[miscer]

should have played 4 seamers and dropped kohli and moved ashwin to no. 6. Not even joking.

Ah, at least they went for Vinay. Would've pissed myself if they picked Mithun.

 

[Sylvester]

I've got a feeling they will go with Starc, if he was going to be 12th man they would have announced it already like they have all summer.

My gut is working nicely.

 

[Spikey]

Ponting would have played MJ too.

Australia to aim for the wet spots left from the beer on the pitch.
