What a brilliant idea! But as usual the fun police want to ruin it for everyone No Cookies | The Advertiser
Having a drink at end of year break up late this afternoon and over heard this little conversation between two very senior sports journalists "yeah, I was expecting a lot more. I would even entertain a conspiracy theory that the Windies got the top summer slot (boxing day and new years tests) because the board was worried the kiwis would beat us"!
Most Australian sports bodies are very keen to keep ahead of impending doom by losing government funding. We must win at all costs - loose at your peril is the new mantra!
Flogging the Windies is killing the gates at the MCG ..... no-one is turning up, they'd be losing $5M a day due to the poor performing Windies
Australia Cricket chose the Windies for the boxing day test series, are you now blaming the poor performing team decimated by the OZ T20 series for a grandiose $5M loss per day.
Just listening to the cricket scores on ABC driving radio and the Windies just posted their first 100 partnership,arrived home,thought I'd watch a bit..........2 wickets in the next 5 balls...ooops,sorry fella's,turned the box off after that,didn't want to superstitious the rest of the team!
So it was your bloody fault! I was driving home from work, and from the time I parked the car to walking inside and turning the telly on, the two wickets had fallen!! Can you go back out to your car and turn the radio on please?
God Sydney is a joke. They really should schedule all cricket in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart. At least we'd get to watch something.
........looked at the forecast ....rain/rain/rain/rain/rain Easy bet placed for a draw....money for jam ...err a rainy day
They seemed to be happy with the result. Black Caps smash Pakistan in decider as Taylor injury causes concern | Stuff.co.nz
I won't go to the rugby thread, as rugby is SFP. But even though the method used to get the decision today with the dismissal of Marsh was ludicrous, it was undoubtedly the right decision so I'm fine with it. I'm more concerned about why useless jokes like "The NO Show" and Bailey keep getting selected for Australia. Surely it's time for Marsh to hang up the selection boots? If Khawaja was selected for the first game the series would never have gone to a decider.
Right. That’s it. Summer already ruined by the selectors. Marsh????!????!! Again? Are you ****ing kidding me? How they selected Paine ahead of Nevill is anyone’s guess when Paine isn’t even keeping for Tasmania. Sayers a good selection but we know he’s only there to carry the drinks. Has Bird ever actually done anything? Can’t argue too much about Bancroft. But there are plenty of other batsmen who deserve a shot ahead of Marsh.
No batsman has delivered since Gilly left My money is on Cummings and Starc to clobber the poms, two of the best bowlers sine Lillie and Thommo Marsh has got some photos of donkeys and certain members of the selection committee, we can't be THAT thin on the ground for real batsmen
Fair dinkum. If you ever want to place a bet on an absolute certainty, it’s rain in the Brisbane Test. Mind you, it’s perfect up here in Redcliffe.
