shaolinmasta Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Australia has been a wee bit dissapointing in cricket so far but they look set to win this one dayer, England has improved heaps, hope we drill 'em in the Ashes test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaolinmasta Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 Yeah, we won... (not that anyone cares it seems) Ponting got 100 runs and has crept back into form, Brett Lee got 5 wickets too, he's been bowling pretty well lately. Synaps, those three teams you mentioned are sort of struggling, India is going allright and Bangladesh beat Australia in a One Dayer believe it or not.

Quoted post izit? hahahahaah. how in the fuck... so SA's been doing badly lately, yeah? too shame. I could be very wrong here, like I said before, I hardly ever hear anything about cricket anymore. maybe only once or twice a year but didn't SA beat, or just barely lose to Aus i n the tri-nation earlier this year? perhaps it was last year?!

effyoo Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 For real though, cricket seems like a good game. As far as I can gather the pitcher is trying to knock down the sticks behind the batter. I just have no idea how the scoring works, and why the games go for 3 days. Better than baseball, no matter how you look at it. A story: I met two random girls at this pub a few weeks ago who were from Africa. One was from South Africa and one was from Zimbabwe. We were on the train to their spot when the subject of cricket came up. The girl from Zimbabwe started going on about how all the black players were ruining Zimbabwe cricket because they wanted a sort of equal representation on the team and how she was against it. The train got quiet with a quickness. I have absolutely no idea what she was talking about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post from what i gather the equal representation thingo means that there have to be a certain number of black players on the team, and there aren't generally as many good black players as white ones, soooo, the team is shitter cos they have to pick players based on skin colour, not skill level. kinda defeats the purpose...

shaolinmasta Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Yeah Australia just won this last NatWest match pretty convisingly (8 wickets with 15 overs left). Adam Gilchrist slaughtered the Englishmen hitting around 124 off like 90 balls, Jason Gillespie and Kaprowicz look like their running back into form... Australia looks set for the Ashes lets drill these poms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunyip Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 "Richie Benaud will be commentating for the last time in England as his 42-year broadcasting career comes to an end" thats all im really upset about. "The crowds have been flooding into The Oval in preparation for the most eagerly-awaited day of sport in England for a generation." BBC News. enough said.
