You obviously take your cricket WAAAAAY too seriously for a 15+change guy.
Here's a thought - go out and play if you cant stomach the match. Or better yet, go do your homework - watching sports is supposed to be fun- clearly you are not having any. Why subject yourself to such negetive feelings ? Its a bit sadistic, wouldnt you say ?
yes i take the game very seriously. Watching sport is supposed to fun yea, but for goodness sake you dont want to see your team playing poorly, as in Australia's case the best team in the world who set such superb standard being subjected to an embarassing performace againts lowly ranked bangladesh.

Look all of you give me a break, i have much reason to be annoyed.:dry:

Cricket would hardly be interesting without our unique take on the art of collapsing.
well the WI dont usually collapse anymore.....that is a thing of the past...they either pull a transatlantic flight or fail to take off alltogether.
I think the collapso cricket ended with Dropney Browne dropped from the team....96 world cup..now THAT was a collapse.

I understand your annoyance. I was similarly in disbelief when the Indians collapsed at Mumbai. Be annoyed and exasperated, but don't let it dominate your mind and please don't start abusing the opposition.

Well maybe you shouldnt take the game so seriously then.
You remind me of the standard 18-19something horror-flick nutter chick- one who burrows into my armpits everytime the music goes 'Daga daga dun' or ' Dun Dun DOOOSH', scared shitless but still cant stop watching.
Why do you subject yourself to such feelings ? You can stop watching and do something much more pleasant ya know...

are you quite certain that you have the best style of collapsing? the indians at the wankhede against england would beg to differ.
West Indies 148/0 chasing 291 for victory on a flat wicket with a day and a half to go.

West Indies 267 all out.

I can name countless others, but the pain is just too great.

Equal worst, they are on par with Sri Lanka and West Indies. If they were playing either of those two, would you be saying the same thing.
you missing the point, Australia are the best team in the world & have been super consistent for 10 years plus, setting the bar that all international team wish to follow. Sri Lanka & West Indies (especially) are very inconsistent & unpredictable teams, so if Bangladesh have them on the run in a test match that would not be a MAJOR shock.

In Australia case if Bangladesh show them they had some ticker in this test match, i wouldn't have a problem once Australia still maintain there supremacy, but so far they have done more than just show Australia they have some ticker, but they have bloody outplayed them. Geez:wacko:

They collapsed twice from winning positions on the tour of New Zealand.

The most devastating collapse I can remember was against South Africa last year though.
3rd ODI, chasing 285 for victory.

Score: 283/7 with 4 balls remaining. What unfolded was utterly unbelievable.

Langeveldt to Bradshaw: wild swipe and bowled.
Langeveldt to D. Powell: wild swipe and bowled.
Langeveldt to Collymore: attempt not to play a wild swipe and LBW.

Surely the most undeserved hat-trick in the history of the sport.
Bradshaw and Powell played the two most idiotic shots I've seen aside from Ramprakash's Shane Warne number in 2001.

I think your belief that basically Australia should have just turned up and won the match, is why Australia are in the position they are in now. They didn't take the game seriously and now find themselves in a position where they might loss. But regardless your probably watching one of the greats fighting for his career and his team's respect. This innings by Gilchrist has been great so far and you should really forget about the score and just watch him bat.

Well then why is it such a travesty if they lose a Test match every now and then? Surely Bangladesh has suffered enough to deserve some glory. Stop being greedy.

When Mohammad Rafique was racking up a century against the West Indies a couple of years back, you didn't see me, Don or roseboy carrying on like you are now.
well i wouldn't know because i was a CW memeber i 2004. But please given the way WI have been playing in recent times that wasn't a SHOCK to the world.

Australia on the other have just defeated a very good South African side fairly convincingly in their own back yard and now & being seriously outplayed by Bangladesh. Where yall blokes come from man..

Well stop moaning along the way and insulting the team that's outplaying yours to this point. I believe everyone will be happy when you do.

I shudder to think that you're a fan of cricket at all. The attitudes which underlie this post disgust me.:dry:

1.Australia>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bangladesh. This gap in power and ability may explain why its a travesty if they do lose this test & why it has nothing to do with being greedy.

2. Sorry not that type of a supporter. I know what you are going to say to this but it aint no crime to be that way, if this is my standpoint on the situation or the game of cricket

Now then getting back to the game :shutup:, Gilly is tough.....BD needs to get rid off Dizzy ASAP and clean the Aussie innings from the other end.

Now this match is getting awfully slow.....some drastic number of runs (a hell lot of scoring shots)....or just a tuble of the wickets would spice things up a bit here now :)!!!!!~~~~~
