C'mon Taity...!

What a beauty from Lee to Tendulkar...

 

[Johnners]

Bah that first hour or so was frustrating, besides Clark it was pretty poor cricket all round. Sehwag looked ridiculous at times, but coming in mid way through the series I'd expect that. Lee and Johnson weren't looking to flash and only Clark shone through, again. Luck didn't go his way though.

Agreed re: 1st hour, but it sounds like the 2nd hour has been far better? (Don't know, because I haven't seen it)

 

[Johnners]

C'mon Taity...!

Oh, thought it was Taito?

80's video game fan?

His nickname is Sloon. Or more recently "The Wild Thing".

 

[Johnners]

Haha, nah, just thought Pup was calling him Taito when the WC was on.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Tait's letting them rip big-time.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Would've lost that tenner.

I could lose it worse ways.

 

[Burgey]

Quality spell from Lee here.

And 24 overs in the session. The extra grunt of pace could be paid for at the match ref's table.

I was thinking that too. Tubbs and co who had a go on-air at the Indian over rate are ridiculously silent when their own boys do the same. Gawd, I hate the 9 commentary team. Richie and Slats aside.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Well I guess we're stuck with them for the time being...

 

[Captain Cricket]

But the cricket show's alright I guess.

And so goes the big disadvantage of a four-prong pace attack. 4 overs short after the first session is pretty ordinary. I'm predicting some overs of spin before tea.

Symonds or Clarke?

Loved Langer's comparison of Harbhajan chirping to the kid leaving a dirty nappy lying around

 

[kwigibo]

Anyone hear Richie suggest that Steve Bucknor was eating lunch back in Jamaica, with sacrificial lamb at the top of the menu?

I guess we know how he feels now.

That was a bit harsh.

 

[Burgey]

Not really. Bucknor's performance was seriously meh, but it's a sad day when a country can complain and have an umpire removed.

Imagine the kerfuffle if it becomes the norm. Why should the ICC not replace umpires everytime a country has a whinge? In fact, after what they've done here, how can't they? It's a load of cobblers to suggest that the Indian reaction had nothing to do with the decision to rissole him.

Dire, imo. If he's that bad then he should be pensioned off, not just sacked after one country has a whinge about him.
