40th Match - Australia v Scotland (14th March)

[dermo]

hopefully we can wrap this up before the start of the f1 qualifying at 5

Surprised to see Aust won the toss and bowled. Thought they'd want to give their batsmen a full 50 overs. Is there rain around?

Why would we want to give our batsman another 50 overs batting first? We've batted first in each game and made over 300 in every game bar one, where of course we failed miserably. Smart decision, fielding.

Yeah, there's consistent showers on the radar.

I'm reckoning Scotland will get knocked over for a paltry score (probably 120 or less), so I'm hoping Clarke gets a bat because the time in the middle will do him good.

Yeah it was a dodgy forecast yesterday.

It's like Machan's the only Scottish guy that knows how to bat.

One might say that's he's machan hay while the sun shines.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Second time this WC for Cummins?

Good pun, equally good jinx. Top post.

 

[Burgey]

I'm watching this on Fox in my bedroom and Burgeinho is watching it in the lounge room on Nine. The nine coverage is a fraction of a second behind the Fox one. ****ting me.

Good to see you getting behind IPA darling Rupert Murdoch, Burge. I I strongly recommend his speech at the IPA anniversary on the morality of markets.

Tubby really has no clue that Leask can bat, does he?

Can we please go one thread without you making a political post for literally no reason whatsoever? FFS.

 

[Burgey]

I don't give a ****. There is no market, it's a monopoly on pay TV service in australia. Besides, I can afford it on every wall of the house if I want to have it.

I'd have preferred the old days of Optus Vision and Sheffield Shield coverage though.

Haha it's not even "can bat" so much as "is a batsman". Expecting Tubby to know that would be ignoring all history of his commentary though.

Surely I'm allowed a free pass on former Young Liberal Burgey though. People have shots at me all the time without me having said anything yet and I cop it sweet; it's friendly banter.

Yeah, this is very true. Channel 9 commentators watching cricket that isn't broadcast on Channel 9 would basically be heretical.

 

[morgieb]

Interesting that Clarke is opening.

 

[Dan]

Seriously Tubby, look up a ****ing Cricinfo profile before commentating on teams you don't know.
