[Riggins]

do all these tests start at the same time? have you got different time zones in that little **** hole?

I am not trying to rubbish them.....They are similar to Yorkshiremen

Boycs, I think you are trying to rubbish them.

Ooo, two days off work... can't wait

 

[Riggins]

"He bowls wicket to wicket which does not give the batsmen any angles to play with."

Can someone explain that to me?

 

[LongHopCassidy]

if this was a court case and the issue at hand was "is Usman good enough to be a successful test player" and someone cited that video as evidence that he is, I would demand that the video be deemed as inadmissible evidence because of how irrelevant it is

note: i did not go to law school and have little idea of how the legal system works

Your mum is inadmissible evidence that I have a way with the ladies.

depends on whether some chick attends the game. today's play starts at 8:15pm (AEST), for example. But all the other days start as 8:00pm (AEST)

Happy that Uzi gets another chance. Up to him to grab it now. Not sure how long he will get but hopefully he can do enough to stay there while he adjusts. Along with Prince and Smith theres a lot if potential there.

ha I really hope Australia, especially our attack, continues to get underrated. I just watched some vid with Flintoff's opinions on the series as well, and there is some serious bull**** floating around. I don't think we are going to win this series, especially now that we lost that crucial first game, but I really hope we can wallop Eng in at least one test.

Pattinson is a much better bat than Harris

Harris
First-class 62 96 15 1539 94 19.00 2541 60.56 0 8

Pattinson
First-class 28 36 8 575 66 20.53 1495 38.46 0 1

Comparing FC
Harris 8 half centuries to Patto 1
HS Harris 96 verses Patto 66
Patto marginally better AV

So we have to wait another 15 minutes to hear Onions has been royally shafted again then.

Is Bresnan going to play of are they sticking with Finn?

Still think Pattinson will be 11

Most of Harris's runs were scored when dinosaurs still walked the earth though; as has been pointed out many times, his batting really tailed away as his bowling picked up.

Lol I just got the play on words

Bird in for Lord's.

Yeah I'm definitely not in the "Bird is made for English conditions" camp but Lords should suit him really well; should be playing IMO.

The post you can depend on for every test.

'cos Aussies and Aussie media in particular never talk complete horse****

 

[Malleeboy]

Is it just tradition or is there a good reason for EIIR not meeting the players at 10:45

 

[Maximas]

Does Spikey prefer this evidence?

Aussie media in general is pretty ****e (although not as bad as the english equivalent), but i don't think there has been very much arrogance on our side this time round tbh. There's been plenty from the English though, and you'd think after such a close first game there might be a slight tone of humility, but apparently not.
