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.

Listen to this. Two bowlers bowling from opposite ends simultaneously. Twice the runs in half the time = money.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

Warnie is that kid in your class at school that has ridiculous attention seeking outbursts every day that just get progressively less interesting and funny every day.


Also Doug Bracewell cut his foot - allegedly 'cleaning up' after a wild party at his house. For some reason a concerned neighbour called up the player's association boss who went over to the house and shut it down. NZC are 'investigating' the incident. He is now in doubt for the first test. Cricket thread favourite Ian Butler has been called into the squad despite Gillespie playing the warmup match ahead of him.

From Cricinfo:

quote:

McEnroe has a good suggestion: "Can I suggest a new rule. It's called a Bowling Declaration. At any point in time the bowling side may declare, at which point the batting team is awarded a 200 run lead on the bowling teams first innings total, plus 10 runs per wicket remaining. In this case it would give India a 270 run lead. My reason for the suggestion is that Pattinson has bowled 27 overs already, and if he bowls any more he is likely to breakdown. And then Siddle will bowl his guts out and will have to be rested, and then....it hurts to much to think how bad this could get. Bowling Declaration."

Here's a thought, if your bowling attack is so poo poo that you're literally willing to throw the game so the poor darlings don't get injured... maybe you should make them earn their appearance fee and if they get injured in the process, you don't have to worry about not picking them for the next game.

Also, that. The beauty of a leg-side strangle. There's going to be some very angry Indian fanmail. :allears:

"Ohhhhhh, that's real close, Doh"

- noted specialist wicketkeeper M. Wade, encouraging the slow left arm bowler who is currently 0/124 on a stock ball which was comfortably defended away to cover

Prepare yourselves for another round of self congratulatory interviews, even as the prospect of even a draw fades into the distance. In a sense, this is worse for Australia than having Dhoni declare at 500.

Still pegging darts into the pitch though. Fucksake I haven't seen a single ball that wasn't the wicket ball where the batsman has been forced to shift his head to watch above his eyeline

This is one of my favourite statistics of all time. Two batsmen have just scored insane hundreds in this very match, Clarke still scoring well as usual, but Ol' Phil Can't Even Get One Run
