chick at work brought racing cars: mini mars bar with a tiny teddy driver and m&m's for wheels

M&M shop in NYC changed my life. The s00ner they bring coconut m&m's and raspberry m&m's out here the better afaic.

laters jono's account

would laugh if at 9am tomorrow hilf is doing warm ups and his arm is all over the place

 

[Marius]

I don't even know the one dayers schedule this year but I think Pattinson does have a role to play in them, but like I said, rotate him during the series.


South Africa have made two changes, Rory is gone unsurprisingly and in come Faf and Tahir.

Pretty much expected.

Rudolph must be thanking his lucky stars that JP did his Achilles tendon.

Is Adelaide still a wicket that helps the spinners?

 

[Spikey]

hey guys just so you know there's no way they're not playing starceh, pattinson, siddle and 4th seamer here at the waca. i'm putting jono's account on the line ffs

i'm not sure if anyone thought pattinson would be rested for perth but whatevs

 

[Burgey]

Hilf needs to fulfil the Terry Alderman role at the WACA when the traditional Fremantle Doctor blows in after lunch.

looking forward to all discussions about the adl. oval redesign

after i get back from the shops obv

 

[Spikey]

iirc after it's redesigned, the patrons will be able to walk over to the adl cbd during lunch and visit the shops

assuming they get stamped out

Just as long as they retain the beautiful old scoreboard.

Just over from the Victor Richardson gates iirc.

if hilf doesn't do well it could make things more difficult than just for this test

but he's gonna do well

Urghh, why don't SA pick Tsolekeli? I actually think if they really wanted to play du Plessis they could have played the keeper at 8 and have du Plessis as the front line spinner. Although you could argue that would be a poor move at Adelaide.

Or they could have dropped Rudolph, and stuck Faf in at six, and still played Tahir.

Sooner or later they are going to have to play Tsolekile. What is the point on having him on a Central Contract if they don't?

I wonder what he prefers, touring with the national side and sitting on his backside or at least being with the Lions and playing every game?

 

[Spikey]

because they're so racist they'll pick a player in the squad based on the colour of his skin but refuse to pick him in the test team based on the colour of his skin. CSA are doing some next level stuff

I'm hoping he will at least get a gig against New Zealand. de Villiers keeping long term is not something I want to see.

Amateurs compared to CA, tbh. Remember when they refused to pick Reiffel in the ODI side because he wasn't good enough, on ya way to Aus A son. He takes enough poles that he's going to be a threat to the Aus ODI side so they pick him as a pat on the back/promotion and promptly make him 12th.

Discrimination against Vics is like racism but funny.

 

[Spikey]

discrimination against Vics isn't actually discrimination

What is that ball anyway? It looks sort of like a mix between a straight toppie and a carrom ball.
