January 2, 200818 yr Aussie 6-135BUGGER. GO INDIA! Australia has to lose someday... But my bet is they'll win easily still. (australia that is) Doomy edit: I like sheep
January 2, 200818 yr 6-193 now, And yeah, Symonds should have been called out, Not looking too good fellas! "A disbelief in magic can force some poor souls into believing in authority and business"
January 2, 200818 yr They're aren't playing the same today. What the hell was Clarkey thinking when he let that ball from Harbhajan hit him full on the pads, easily out LBW. Hogg is doing better than most of the top order at the moment. [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!]
January 2, 200818 yr Hoggy! What a legend! 71 off 80 and still going strong. Why isn't this man up the top order? :P Seriously though, he's been batting great, hitting some lovely strokes and Simmo is also going well on 63, these boys are leading a nice fightback and they need to stay in until we reach at least 300, now Hoggy has to get that century. EDIT: Simmo get's a ton! Hoggy out for 79 :( Didn't get the ton but a dam impressive innings [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!]
January 2, 200818 yr perhaps this should be added to the Australian jersey :lol: how the hell do we get out selves out of messes like that, i know Roy and Hogg are our heroes but I'm shocked Lee is doing alright
January 2, 200818 yr Holy Edge! Horrible umpiring with that Caught behind but nevertheless well batted. Doomy edit: I like sheep
January 2, 200818 yr Author Holy Edge! Horrible umpiring with that Caught behind but nevertheless well batted. Bloody oath. How good was the Hogg-Symonds partnership? :D Too bad hogg didn't get the ton. :(
January 2, 200818 yr Great fight back from the Australians today, especially Symonds and Hogg. I'd be spewing if I were India - I would of given the caught behind and stumping of Symonds both out, but I'm not complaining. :P Funny to hear late in the day they've changed the odds for India to be $13.50 or something like that. I'd put $10 on them even if I don't believe they'll win, just for the chance of getting such awesome money back if they would win.
January 2, 200818 yr One thing about cricket that dissapoints me though is the luck factor, I mean, would it kill the umpires to go up to the 3rd ump for a caught behind or LBW? I really think they should be able to. They have hawk eye, all this technology, they should use it imo Doomy edit: I like sheep
January 2, 200818 yr Author One thing about cricket that dissapoints me though is the luck factor, I mean, would it kill the umpires to go up to the 3rd ump for a caught behind or LBW? I really think they should be able to. They have hawk eye, all this technology, they should use it imo I dunno, I like the practice of doing it manually. After a while, and I think I'm starting to pick up on it, you can tell almost immediately whether it's LBW or not. I'll be watching the TV and go 'nope'. Sure enough, it's not out and hawk-eye sais it's going down leg stump or too high or something. I dunno, just getting a feel for an LBW is like an art form. I like that they don't go to 3rd ump but I can still see your point. Perhaps that kind of modernization of the game is inevitable. Hell, they're alreadt talking about running test matches at night time. Crazy. :uhh: :P
January 2, 200818 yr ^^ Yeah generally if I'm concentrating I'm a good guess at LBW's, though still thats on an angle (with the cameras) so it's not always easy. The best view is when they show it from the opposite stump cam, and then you can really have a good opinion. Then of course they do that ball tracking thing which shows the animated ball, and shows whether it will hit the wicket or not.

Yeah it's like an art form in a way, but as the commentators said even during the match "guess what will be the headline of the paper tomorrow" after Symond's not out caught behind, a bad decision can turn a match alot. The problem is how accurate the hawk eye is and how much it'll slow the game down I suppose, as New Zealand came 7 mins close to having to pay extra for taking too long to bowl out the overs, the hawk eye and 3rd umpire would have taken alot of extra time added onto that.

January 2, 200818 yr symonds should have been 137 for 2 :wall: ....and that partnership took the game away ..australia are now looking good for 16 wins in a row tendulkar please score a damn century :wall: -
January 2, 200818 yr I love you Roy. I love you Hoggy. What a great partnership. I reckon Lee will get a 50 tomorrow. Then Johnson will come in and get 30 odd. Then Clark will come in and get 20. Man we have a great team : ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!
January 3, 200818 yr Laxman :shock:woah that was the most brilliant innings i have seen in a long time..the first 50 runs was just stunning =D> =D> =D> -
January 3, 200818 yr Meh, India looking alright.... SA Windies game....What do you guys think. Doomy edit: I like sheep

Man we have a great team : Pretty much spot on, except for Clark. Lee - 57 Johnson - 28 Clark - Quacker :P Wonderful Yorker by Lee to get Jaffer, beat him. Laxman played a lovely innings and Dravid...well was slow. Took him 41 balls to get from 18 to 19... [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!]
January 4, 200818 yr Author Damn you Tendulkar!!!! It's not looking good for a win from my perspective right now. 2 days to go and we need to not only set a substantial target and defend it, but get 10 more wickets. :( Ah well, if anyone can do it, it's Australia.
January 4, 200818 yr Can't wait till i can start playing again :D . Starting Winter Indoor Nets very soon, can't wait. Do you play yourself, or more of a watcher : ? Quitting. Pm me if you want to sell a Phat
January 5, 200818 yr i occasionally just play a game with my mates but thats about it, I'm a great spin bowler :D
January 5, 200818 yr Wow, knowing so much about baseball, but nothing about cricket, I now know what it feels like when someone who knows a bunch about baseball (like me) talks to a person who knows nothing about it. No idea what an LBW or whatever is... And how do people score 100 points in a game? It must be more different from baseball then I thought. In Soviet Russia, glass eats OTers. Alansson Alansson, woo woo woo! Pink owns yes, just like you!GOOOOOOOOOO ALAN! WOO!
