***Official*** Australia in the UAE 2012

I've never seen the rational logic behind the rule that says that hitting the rope on the full is six. For me it should be like the fence was, if you hit it on the full it was four, clear it then it's six.

Pakistan RR 3.89
Last 5 ovs 18/3 RR 3.60
Required RR 95.00
Australia RR 8.40

Starcehhhhhhhhh.

And of course, the most important aspect of this victory is that Australia are no longer below Ireland in the ICC Mickey Mouse T20 rankings.

Congratulations.

Suck it Ireland you arrogant ****s!!!

#8 baby woooooo!!

 

[Yas]

Always worries me when Pakistan go in to tournaments on the back of great form! A crushing loss here suits me just fine! Let's win when it matters

He's been bowling like this for the past 12+ months. During the ODI series last summer in Australia he bowled several unplayable opening spells. Think it's a case of you only seeing him for the first time this European summer. If anything, Yorkshire has harmed him because he actually knows some English people now.

will get back to you bois regarding match commentary in the next few days

And he's Victorian. I've just been reflecting on how little Victoria contributed to Australia's era of dominance (now at an end) beyond Shane Warne. I say that as a Victorian.

Australia had that era of dominance principally because there was usually only one Victorian in the side for the most part.

During that time, look at the series where things looked dodgiest for us - was when blokes like Matthew Elliott and Reiffel were about (ie, 2007 Ashes in England). The unwritten rule should always be no more than one Victorian in the Australian Test team.

Pistol didn't play in either of the Test matches lost.
Herb made most runs on the tour.


Also used to love how Pistol was never chosen for the squad, but would be flown over about a week in when a fast bowler got injured, and would play the next Test ahead of the back-up bowler chosen. And there'd be footage of him wearing a big long sleeve sweater, yawning, the day before the Test.

Just having him and his sheer over-powering Victorian-ness would have been a disruptive influence around the dressing rooms. It's like a really bad cologne.

Yeah, I bet my left nut with a mate of mine that Reiffel would be called up at the first chance Was such a dodgy omission, but tbf they couldn't infect the side with another Victorian at first blush.

Happy to say it survived intact.

Anyway, you were born in NSW ffs. Come on, man.
