The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

By employing so many foreigners in its Indian Premier League, whose sixth auction was held yesterday in Chennai, India has been helping its international opponents for many years.
And by the same token, the County Championship's been doing it for decades. Seriously, grow up India.

I can't stop laughing how pathetic this is.

It's also important to laugh at Matt Prior for not getting picked again because his tweets when leaving India after the test series were sickeningly sycophantic and desperate.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Looking forward to a glorious 100 from Shane Watson

Also, what a sweet couple!

Its the problem with Australian cricket. Ponting may be the best Australian batsman I've personally seen but he is clearly past it. The fact he is comfortably the best shield player in the country speaks volume for the bowlers and batsman.

Maybe this doping/match-fixing thing that's happening at the moment helps explain the final over of the Big bash semi between the Stars and the Scorchers.

They should look over the Shield results blindly and call the batsman with the best average back up.

Ponting is about to hit a double-ton and Krejza (there's a name I haven't heard in a while) just got his ton :allears:
