    I went up to both the Twenty 20 and the ODI on Friday and Sunday. Twenty20 crowd 61,000..ODI Crowd 29,000. I know the weather was bad on Sunday but i think the differential would have been huge no matter the weather. 50 over cricket seems to be a dying art form, hopefully the crowds a better for...

    The only person who shouldn't be in that side is George Bailey. Simple as that. The rest all proved in the Big Bash league that they deserved to be in there. Maybe Shaun Marsh out for someone young like Maddinson or Henriques would have been one move that could have been made. But I'm happy with...

    Why would you declare at lunch on the third day? With 8 sessions left in the game there is no need for them to declare just yet. Sure it might get the game over and done with earlier, but tactically wise its pointless if they can bat another session for another 100 runs. If they declare at all...

    Just a quick one. Clarke is proving once again why he is our best batsman. People can say hes batting like Marcus North all they want, but fact remains, Norths tons were when the rest of the side was batting well, half of them came after another player had already scored a ton before he came in...

    Great win by the Aussies. And by Sri Lanka. I think Australia's series win against Sri Lanka over there was seriously underestimated if they have gone over and beaten an almost full strength South African test side. And when I say almost full strength, they were only missing Philander, who...

    Yeh I agree we definitely need a lead of around 280 plus. Preferably 300 just because of the mental thing that it brings. But having said that, a team with a batting line-up as strong as theres should be able to chase down 300 runs in 5 sessions of cricket. But it never seems to work like that...

    Man, he is killing it. Unbelievable how he has simply come out of nowhere. These are the times where I wished I had access to follow the South African state leagues and stuff like that, he must have absolutely terrorised batsman, because that is exactly what he has done in his first three test...

    What a load of crap. Since he has been captain there has been three test series, and we haven't lost one yet. His batting has improved beyond any doubt, 3 of the countries last 4 centuries have been scored by him. The bowling and fielding has been brilliant in pretty much every test, which is in...

    I dont no if we've got any Indians on this forum, but if we did Im sure theyd be jumping out of there skins for days. Virender Sehwag just made 219 in the best one day innings I have ever seen. Now, people might jump on here and say he was playing on a 20 cent piece and they were bowling...

    The side won't change. For Hughes, Warner, Starc and Pattinson it will simply be a try out for the first test against India on Boxing Day. With Harris, Cummins and Watson all potentially back in the mix for then, it makes good reading for us with lots of players vying for positions. On a side...

    Always going to be backlash after getting bowled out for 47. The fact of the matter is though, this is the first test we've lost since Clarke has been given the job permanently and despite everyone saying this is the worst side we've had in years, fact remains we bowled a side out for under 100...

    Top knock from Clarke, the best I think I have ever seen him bat, and its made even better by the conditions it was in. If we can push the score up over 250 tonight before we get bowled out it might be a reasonably good first inning total on that deck
  13. Cricket 2013

    Who do you guys think will make up the side. My choice would be: 1. Shane Watson 2. Phil Hughes 3. Shaun Marsh 4. Ricky Ponting 5. Michael Clarke (c) 6. Mike Hussey 7. Bad Haddin (misspelling intended) 8. Mitchell Johnson 9. Nathan Lyon 10. Ryan Harris 11. Peter Siddle

    Im watching Pakistan v Sri Lanka at the moment, Pakistan needed 255 at 4.51 an over and have shut up shop pretty much batting for a draw. Weak as water. Must have had a million on a draw!

    He cant have been too bad if he came out and hit a six and a boundary. Would have put a lot of pressure on the old back. I agree he needs to have a breather, Mitch Marsh deserves another chance. Noticed Callum ferguson tonned up against WA, surely he has to throw himself into contention for...

    Filthy, exam tomorrow so I wont be able to do the usual and stay up all night and watch it. I will be the next two games and the tests though :)
  17. Cricket 2013

    Great knock by Marsh on debut, leaves an interesting dilemma for the next test match with Ponting due to return. Khawaja hasnt done anything wrong, and Hughes is potentially the future at the top of the order, but id assume one of them makes way. Again, Haddin is so lucky Paine isnt over...

    Australia have set a target of 379, and as i type BANG: wicket first ball plumb lbw, the shit left hander is out Good form in the Australian innings by Khawaja and Harris as well as Copeland and Lyon at the end. Everyone chipping in for double figures.
  19. Cricket 2013

    Yeh mate, I said exactly the same thing to my brother. I think hawk-eye assumed it hit him on the full or something and in that case you have to assume the ball goes straight on. Really suck because Hughes was looking accomplished in the conditions, and for once he didn't through it away. 6...

    2-9 watto and ponting back in the shed. Both horrible shots, surely they've seen that this isn't a pitch where you can slog and get yourself in, you need to apply yourself. Lyon's 5 fa, absolutely great for a debut, but it was Watto who turned the innings, its just a pity he undid his good...
