PTizzle posted:They should look over the Shield results blindly and call the batsman with the best average back up. That's Krejza's second first class ton  It would be hilarious if Australia's batsmen fail in India, while Ponting and Mike Hussey crank out tons in the Shield.

I've never seen or read anything about O'Keefe anywhere except here (which of course is part of the problem), where does he play? Is there any footage of him?

Yeah he's out I think. Spent 7 months in jail out of the 30 months sentenced. He's having his last attempt at appealing his cricket ban tomorrow.

Pretty much confirming what we all knew for years. Looking forward to the records of Warne, McGrath, Hayden, Ponting, etc. being wiped out from the books.

I don't know why people get so worked up about PEDs, just accept they're all at it is what I say. For example do people really think these 18 stone brick shithouse rugby and AFL blokes don't have a bit of "encouragement"? Obviously I don't include England in that. It's well known that England play all sports in a fair and gentlemanly manner.

If there is one thing I like about the England/Kiwis series is that they've booked all of the one day cricket before the test matches start as opposed to after. So instead of real cricket followed by a really boring epilogue, you have the limited overs stuff and then the test matches are the main event. Its a shame theres only 3 tests though.

It's a shame that the West Indies have to go up against a team of roided out supermen. Clearly they'd rout a clean team.

This viewpoint gets trottted out repeatedly in every SAS doping discussion and is always retarded. Allowing PEDs essentially makes it impossible for clean athletes to compete and will just lead to an arms race to find the newest unsanctioned/untested drug to stay ahead of the competition for the rest, resulting in death of players on the pitch or shortly after retirement.

I'm still not sure if this is Pollard playing or someone else. Seems like such an unusual innings for him.

Just look at retired Eat German women who have huge health problems from doping or Armstrong's cancer was probably triggered by doping in the first place. Doping is rife in all sports with most countries, the report is just the first one that's actually put it in black and white how widespread it really is.

I didn't say it should be allowed did I. I said people just need to accept that it happens and it's widespread.

Old-time strongmen were demonstrating feats of strength and power ~50 years before test was synthesized (and before modern conveniences such as refrigeration), where many of these records still haven't been broken today.

Yeah it's big news over here for our footy codes but I struggle to care about drugs in sport. It's a good news story compared to the rape allegations we usually hear in the off-season.
