Man if only they hadn't scored 10 runs from the first legal ball from the 18th over, hey?

:laffo:


Mozzie hosed up the run out that would have sent them into a super over. Had more time than he realised, throw wasn't flash either. Lee was right there to witness the failure.


Lol. Hat trick with last three balls of a career would be pretty good.

It was hit to short mid on and the fielder pegged it on the bounce to Enriques who couldn't gather it and missed an easy run out.

The amount of times Braycunt mentioned the Australian bowlers and how awesome they were completely out of context in the Eng/Ind game on Friday was infuriating. The thought of that group talking over some percentage of the World Cup games stopped me from considering a 12 month Foxtel sub in part to watch it.

Marsh hit a six at some point and I dived for the remote to mute it before I had to hear him say that NO GROUND IS BIG ENOUGH TO HOLD THIS MAN but I missed it so I muted the TV and snapped the remote in half instead.

Why do they want to make me hate cricket :(


He's hit that right into the catering facilities which are world class.

Just saw the recap of Maxwells innings. Has he ever made a odi hundred? Did he throw away his first good chance with that shot?


I've seen him get out at least 8 times in the 90s. (Maybe one was an 89). He literally tries to hit a 6 every time he gets near 100.

skytv ran an experiment where they literally fed a senile labrador suffering from distemper a dozen rotten eggs and left it in the commentary box for half an hour during the recent pakistan ODI, to see if anyone could tell the difference between the labrador and mark richardson.

it didn't go to plan when the labrador loving shat everywhere, shed all over the seats and then pissed itself but no one watching TV noticed and scott styris decided he liked the dog better than richardson and asked to make the switch permenant.

but richardson had an ironclad contract so they let the fucker back in.
