    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Dunno if I'd say that. 75 or better with 0-2 wickets down is still in general a pretty good launching pad for a good total, even a very good one. Always gonna depend on the conditions, of course. Nice going from Freddie this arvo (all the English bowlers, really), and Anderson just looks a...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    If England get up today (I kinda expect them to, for some reason), it's a pretty friggin' disastrous tour for the Kiwis.

    :laugh: BTW, I was checking just how old Bob was these days and I saw he doesn't even have a bio at cricinfo. Bit of a travesty there.

    Michael Bevan Retires - and Tribute Thread.

    But coming in down the order doesn't preclude him from playing in that fashion (and I had the impression he made a conscious decision to hit more freely after he moved to Tasmania). The point I was making was that he simply didn't do what players like Symonds, Clarke, White or Hussey do down...

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    Nah, I didn't, to be honest - I missed some of England's innings but saw all Hussey's, I thought. Noticed Nixon was mouthing off a fair bit, but wasn't that clear on what was being said, myself. But if the umpires intervened they obviously either waited too long, or it continued too long...

    What is Ponting doing to Bracken?

    To get the best results from his Advanced Hair treatment, Punter needed real human hair - lots of it. But even after harvesting his own body, he still needed more. And his team-mates seemed to have plenty in places they didn't seem to need it.

    What is Ponting doing to Bracken?

    The first woman to make the Australian ODI IX had to put up with a fair degree of ***ual harrasment. But though she did her best to put on a brave face and endure, this time enough was enough and shortly after this snap was taken, she became the second person wearing ultra sheer thigh-highs to...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

    Yeah, used to feel that way betting against Hawthorn in Footybet. I had the principle that if we won the game, I was happy to lose the money, while if we lost, I might have a consolation prize. Only did it once or twice though, it was just clearly wrong. Pakistan still well in this, for mine...

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    LOL. To be honest, once things get to this level, with the abuse going on for 15 minutes etc (and Hussey's retaliation) I think the umpires should at least step in and tell the players to cut it out. Anybody read Ian Chappell's column the other day about all this? His opinion is that things...

    Firstly, do something about what? You don't even know for sure what he said. Secondly, you are obviously making a distinction between the two events yourself, as you have repeatedly said that Gibbs should be penalised.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

    I didn't see a moment of that match, but from the start of day 4 I was following it closely on cricinfo. Great performance from him, even if tragic for the Bangladeshis. I said earlier in the thread that if there's one player you want for that kind of situation, Inzy's the man.

    I'm actually happy to see the back of Hair, but it wouldn't worry me at all if Rauf was sacked (or at least demoted) tomorrow. They've dropped other umps from the elite panel before - Asoka, Tiffin and Orchard all got tossed around halfway through last year (though I think Asoka made his way...

    Official Gibbs Ban Thread

    Well, that's helpful. If it was something like "You bloody Australians never walk", or "Don't you Australians know when you're out?" (include expletives if you like), it has a clear context of being about the team and their general behaviour on the cricket field, which I wouldn't really...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

    Game's interestingly poised, though you'd still have Pakistan as favorites at 68/3. Would be funny if we got a nailbiting scenario with Inzy having to nurse the tail along with 50 or more needed for victory (which would surely see the game go down in the recordbooks as "Inzy's test"). MoYo...

    Yes, but what did he say?

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    Can't remember much of him in the home South African series, but he's been pretty terrible for a while. Living proof of the fact that an Anglo umpire making bad calls to the detriment of subcontinental sides can't in of itself be an example of racial bias when the subcontinental umpire at the...

    The prevailing thought I kept having during yesterday's game was that NZ just didn't deserve to win. The sloppy way they went about their fielding was abysmal, let alone the terrible drops. Even with wanting Australia to win I found myself constantly annoyed by the Kiwis' poor efforts...
