Giant square cut by lee

 

[Kujah]

Yeah! Australia wins by4 wickets. First time England has troubled Australia this summer with the ball

 

[timlay]

its all fine now. its all fine.

bonus point too. GO HUSS.

 

[Kujah]

What would life be without Mr Cricket

 

[timlay]

a brett lee 50?


p.s. in case anyones interested,

damien martyn interview on A Current Affair on monday.

 

[HotShot]

Australia really struggling without Ponting in the middle order. Normally you would have Martyn who would see things through.

3.Ponting
4.Symonds
5.Clarke
6.Hussey
7.White

will be better.

 

[BlackDragon]

If huss carries on like this for the next 4-5 years he will be up there with the greats and have an amazingly high average. - He just has an amazing ability to be there when we need him and never get out.

 

[Kujah]

I'd like to see Hussey fill in No.4. But then, the stability of the lower order might go

 

[BlackDragon]

Yeah. We need him as our rescue man to bring the innings home - our rock (In ODI's at least). He doesn't necessarily fit into the top order.

 

[timlay]

think it was just a no ponting sorta thing.

he could've steadied the ship. unlike hodge.

 

[Kujah]

Beach Cricket was fun.

hat-trick, and sixes

 

[William_Lawry]

sooo im not gunna put $100 on australia to win the world cup

 

[timlay]

you won't get much back anyway.

 

[Kujah]

Haily Ambrose! His catch was magnificent

 

[BlackDragon]

you won't get much back anyway.

lol yeah i know. big bets on australia are just not worth it. you'll get nothing for your risk. and big bets on other countries are not worth it cause they'll only win in a blue moon.

 

[Kujah]

Shame I didnt bet on that day when Bangaldesh def. Australia in 2005 :rofl:

 

[BlackDragon]

lol yeah.
its not a bad idea to be like a dollar everytime bangladesh play actually. if you happen to win you'll get like 20 back

 

[BlackDragon]

NZ: 2/7 after 6 overs. =/.

Question:

Ignoring Australia, is the level of international cricket any good compared to what it should be?

 

[Kujah]

Ignoring Australia, is the level of international cricket any good compared to what it should be?

Not as good as it used to be in the 80's and 90s

 

[timlay]

indeed. 80's and 90's = good.

but they are crap too compared to the 1948 invincibles.
