Not sure wether to cringe or laugh!

Play backyard cricket



Took a while to get my eye in. Seems to me you need to relase the button just after the ball leaves the bowlers hand.

High score 724.

Bring it on poms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Grandad" McGrath strikes again!!!

Poms 6/126

I have invented a new device that is set to revolutionise the task of house painting.
Once filled with the desired type of paint and placed in the middle of the room the device is started by the operator who then leaves the room and shuts the door.

The device then begins to spray paint evenly at random in all directions until every surface is covered.

I call it the "Harmisson"



(stolen from the Age Leaping Larry's Letterbox)

I've worked out what's been going wrong.

We can't play their fast bowlers, and we can't get their batsmen out.

Australia 602/9d & 202/1d
England 157 & 91/3 (30.2 ov)
England require another 557 runs with 7 wickets remaining


Wilso, you were in Cairns? Business or pleasure?

Even our scoreboard attendants have safe hands!

Collingwood and Pieterson doing OK...

Not anymore!

Collingwood 97 - stumped - off Warne. Warney bought that wicket.

I'm enjoying this match a lot more now the poms seem to have their eye in.

Pieterson and warn have had "words". A bit of fire in the pommy belly now.

honeymoon

could the poms bat this to a draw?

Its possible but I dont think so.

On a deteriorating gabba wicket Warne will tie the visitors in knots.

Botham says the English? cricket team is seriously underdone having only one serious 3 day match under their belts prior to the 1st test.

Interesting to note the English cricket team has a South African as their star batsman and an Australian of Welsh decent playing for them. If you took out Pieterson and Jones there isnt a lot of talent left.

Harsh words indeed. English selectors need to get out of their fusty old club chairs and try to blood new stock. And the pommy public need to stop giving up on their boys so easily!

trivia challenge

9/20........ beat that

14/20

17/20

I'm a freak.

15/20 (guessed three right, though).

I was cheesed because they said Alfie wasn't Justin Langer's nickname - and it is. But I did get the McGrath 5-0 question twice....

I had no idea where Pontin was born, but my sis lives in Launceston, so.....

There's a trues story that when Ricky was about 8 his grandmother had a t-shirt made for him that had 'Future Australian Test Cricketer' written on it.

He's a brilliant asset to your team, and no mistake.

Oh well, I'm just off to bed, while you lucky gits are just about to watch us get humiliated again.

Hang on?...going to bed's not so bad, after all!

Goodnight.........

Nighty night Lord. You could still win this one. Especially if Lillee and Marsh think the odds are high enough...

Adelaide:

Oh oh!

Day 2
England 6 (dec) 551
Aust 1/28 (Langer 4)

Collingwood 206! well done. First double in Oz for 70 years.
Pieterson 158

Not much in the wicket for the bowlers so we shall see how the pommy bowlers fare.

prediction- draw.
