[Spikey]

he might have the time

I don't know what's been the best thing today

a) that little Sri lankan dancing under the band
b) 'absolute rubbish' and 'beach/shops'
c) the gingerbread man

Bill Lawry trolling Sydneysiders all the way. WAFG.

 

[ajdude]

oh my god that ****ing masters home improvement ad is gayer than two dicks touching

jono probably shops there

 

[AlanJLegend]

The comparison has probably already been made, but this first day reminds me so much of Sydney last year.

We can potentially bat for 2 more days here, enormous scores up for the taking for anybody who can go on and get them.

 

[Dan]

Why does South Africa play before holiday time whenever they tour Aus? Happened in '08 and this year again. Surely they'd be more of a draw than SL?

Both the Republic and Australia want to play home games on Boxing Day. Neither would budge, so short, early-season tours it is.

 

[ajdude]

ok that is terrible

 

[Spark]

Yep. I'd actually sympathise with them if they wanted to play a Test, but given that it's a T20 they can go **** themselves.

Haha that's some field placing.

 

[Ruckus]

Oh man just cost himself the easiest hundred of all time.

 

[Tricia McMillan]

62 off 46 balls, what is this a T20?

 

[chaminda_00]

That is a captain in waiting's wicket.

 

[morgieb]

Unlucky. 95% of those shots would've gone straight to the boundary!

 

[Tricia McMillan]

I mean, 62 runs is nothing to turn your nose up at, but he could have gotten more than that with a bit more patience.

 

[morgieb]

Haha, it's basically been crap bowling and his aggressive nature. He wasn't really slogging.

 

[Hurricane]

With emphasis on the word really I presume.

Definitely some slogs in there. Also some quality defensive strokes and leaves as well.

 

[TT Boy]

Mathews is the "world’s most premium all-rounder".
10 wickets in 30 tests.

Average of 70 too.

 

[Ruckus]

Hughes is such a weird blend of ugliness and pure class

[Daemon]

Aus fielding a ridiculous number of lefties. Only Clarke and Watson from the batsmen and even Mitch J is a lefty.

 

[ajdude]

even Mitch J is a lefty.

but he wanks right handed
