Hodge sounds like he's spent 20 years in the ring. Should decline interviews for mine.

 

[Demolition Man]

Hope Hodge doesn't get man of the match, then we'll have to hear him interviewed.

edit: haha, 99 not out. Amazing innings anyway. Ponting set it up, but Hodge ensured the win with his brilliant hitting in the 35-45 over period.

Ponting also calmed hodge down when he was going out of control.
Surely Ponting deserves MOM a superb knock at his favourite ground.

 

[Johnners]

haha Spewin 99*, well played though, finally converted his great Ford Ranger Cup form into something noteworthy on the International Scene.

Ponting should take MOTM imo, brilliant innings as the cornerstone of the chase, and keeping a fantastic SR at the same time.

Bowling attack has gone for 290+ for the 3rd time in 3 games though, a worrying sign, although i'd expect them to pull through with the goods when it really matters.

Alright, it's going to go down to tuesday. Considering our last three performances (including this one), and the fact that we beat them in our last 2 games, I reckon we can take the English.

But, for now, I'm going to bed. G'night everyone, 'twas good fun.

Alas he has the brain of a chimp, and often makes extremely immature/stupid comments. One would have thought that at his age he would have grown out of his boganality.

My favorite interview of his was when he told the selectors (through the media) that he should be in the team and they were stupid for not selecting him, then you have the behind the scenes stories, well in summation he is either a complete idiot or a real nasty person.

I tend to lean towards complete idiot.

Bingo.

Amazing stuff. Hodge and Ponting, such guns. Proud to be a Victorian today. Best match of the series so far for me. Bloody exciting. Now Tuesday's set for a real cracker. Can't wait.

Did Brad Hodge say something stupid in the post-game?

 

[pasag]

Does anyone else get annoyed when watching a straight drive and you can't see until the last minute whether there is a fielder there to cut it off? Surely the camera can pan back quicker so you can see where the fielders are placed. Maybe it's just me

Yeah that's pretty damn annoying.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

haha, Hodge sounds hillarious!!!
Sounds like the little hyperactive kid back in high school. You know the one whos got a couple of screws loose

 

[meatspx]

From a NZ perspective Bond has been dissapointing. Fleming should have continued bowling with Styris instead of bringing back Bond.

Even if Franklin got 2 wickets he still bowls too many pies.....keep going with Bond, but perhaps bring in Mills for Franklin. Looks like Bond won't play anyway next game due to his match fitness.

 

[NZTailender]

Fair effort by pointing and Hodge there. Great run chase, almost made it look too easy.

Hoping we can give England a decent beating this Tuesday.

 

[andyc]

Did Brad Hodge say something intelligent in the post-game?

No.

We still had to anyway.

Incredibly low IQ I reckon.

He went to the Milo kerrigan school of inteviewing

We just had to suffer him being interviewed by Athers. He does seem quite a special player. If cricket ever gets into the Paralympics he's a shoe-in for the team with learning issues.

After the drivel we heard today from Mark Nicholas' mouth, he'd be a shoe in for the Thesaurus-a-lympics side.

Dreadful commentator.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Hodge does the best Waqar Younis impersonation I've heard, though.

Australia probably couldn't have paced their chase any better.

Reports are coming in saying that he did talk during the interview. So, yes, yes he did.

One of the stranger segues into a pop at Nicholas, but, speaking for my nation, I apologise. Now if you could just have Ian Healy humanely destroyed we'd be all sqaure.
