Honestly had me in stitches!

You're right, he is such an ugly f#$ker. It makes me laugh though because I always get the feeling that he is trying to become a pin-up boy like Clarke

I'll vote for this one:

The 'Oh, oh!' Award For The Moment The Ashes Looked In Doubt

Any time during England's second innings of the First Test at the Gabba, when our bowlers turned into harmless pie-chuckers, and the previously fallible Alastair Cook (235 not out) became impenetrable. Pushed to nominate a single moment, may we offer up the scoreboard at end of said innings? "1-517 declared" had a certain ominous quality.

1 for 517 dec ...

I think India will win it. Aus lack of a good spinner will hurt them on the pitches out there. England sadly have no chance.

Anyone into fantasy teams? You can do a good one here:

I've made a team, will start a league if theres enough interest.

Nathan Hauritz and Mike Hussey definitely out ... big losses ... although for Aus it's pick a spinner, any spinner

Yeh, can't see England doing it but ...

Maybe such a league will give me more interest in the actual tourney - can you give us the Private League PIN, please?

It will be between Sri Lanka and India.

BTW, Shane Watson had a great summer. One of the few Australians that consistently performed, made solid opener's innings almost every match he played. Made a huge century in one of the ODIs and has a knack of coming on and breaking partnerships.

He is actually a fantastic player despite what some like to think.
