Re: The Cricket Thread
Optimism for a contest, I like it!
Byes were called Johnsons and have since been renamed Haddins.
Frequent comments from our scoring benches:
- How is widesy doing?
- Is widesy still top-scorer?
etc, etc

I listened to most of it on the ABC today, I didn't miss the visuals.
If India get back into this then there will be a full-scale match fixing enquiry

9 for 171. Nearly a hat trick for Hilfenhaus!
*edit*
Gone! All out for 171, the last four wickets fell for 0!

Re: The Cricket Thread
Indians venting their spleens freely at Times of India:
Some of the insults are quite creative:
Good improvement, 10 more runs and sustained for 3 more overs than first innings.
All the cricket fans should physically thrash the team, the selectors and the board officials for such a pathetic loss.
India beaten again by a vastly superior bowling attack. Tired of hearing excuses made for Indian batsmen. Mumbai Chai Wallah's could do better.
In England series, India's batting was criticized for getting out under 300. They improved it in Australia and now they are getting out under 200.
Indian army and Indian cricket team need SC/ST/OBC reservation to thrash foreigners in thier land. These pony tail curdrice brahmins and upper castes have no guts. Bring chicken/beef/mutton eaters to team and see the result.

Re: The Cricket Thread
England vs Pakistan - 1st Test starts today 4pm Brisbane-time.
Excellent time-zoning, some pre-bed Test Match Special I reckon.
Will be interesting to see if there is any 'rust' apparent from an England side that hasn't played a Test for a while.
I think England will win the series but not by much.

Cool, something to watch tonight. I reckon Pakistan have a slight, Asian, 'home' advantage but England will win the series.
