Warne is a cricketing genius though...and listen to the late Richie Benaud telling the Tv audience what Warne was going to do...very special

[Bruce Bayliss]

and back to the Ashes...sledging Warne v Collingwood...very funny

So that drink-driving silly boy should be sent home (although you can never tell with the Convicts...), so that's more bowling backup problems right there. Just another 1 or 2 issues like this please...

Surely if convicted, being sent to Australia is his historic right?

Harris out

batty , I have reported you to the korean authorities - they think your black magic voodoo goat shagging is an effort to produce goat induced respiratory syndrome

http://www.xxx.xxx.xx/news/2015-07-04/ryan-harris-out-of-ashes-with-knee-injury/6595502

Ryan Harris is ruled out of the entire Ashes tour after failing to recover from a knee injury and promptly retires from all forms of cricket.

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

Sad ending to a career that began a few years too late. To think we had guys like Siddle, Hilfenhouse etc leading our attack before Harris was even on the radar for selection. A very heavy blow to our team which has suddenly given the poms a much better chance of winning. Fuck.

[Bettyboo]

Just one or two more, I will get my voodoo goat out and start the ceremony straight away...

You have a lot of good bowlers, but the stock is whittling down.

Bring back Warnie.

Nice to see you back Boo.

Here's your shopping list for today:

1. Aussie Dolls
2. Pins

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

Cricket Australia has named Pat Cummins as Harris' replacement on tour. Cummins was to take part in the Australia A tour of India but will now fly from Sydney to join the Australians ahead of the Cardiff Test.

Three quicks who bowl 150+

Nope. We still have heaps left waiting in the ranks. Put it this way, if Barbie was Australian he would be about 20th in line

[Bettyboo]

tick tock tick tock... Not at the first test yet and you're already short of 2 bowlers. tick tock tick tock...

[baldrick]

batty my dear boy

any minute now the korean swat team will be crashing through your windows and you will be bundled into extreme quarantine and subject to a battery of anal probes - marine 48 volt batteries I believe

you should remain in utter utter isolation until after the ashes is over whence you will only be able to weep as the poms will have been thoroughly trounced

for your own good you should toddle off and butter up the botty

your goats will be disposed of at the local kebabery

[Bobcock]

Probably none, and don't care, but they are still better golfers than the kiwis who are bargain basement along with places like Sierra Leone and the ivory Coast

[Bobcock]

Sad news for Harris, not a nice way to end your career, which maybe deserved to deliver a bit more.....

Of course when a player recently retired through injury, he was labelled by Wally as too scared to play against the Crims.....

Thankfully we have a bit more class.

[pompeysbroke]

Oz 9/1 at Corals for a 5-0 whitewash They were 50s at home when they did just that last time. No value in the punt this time.

Well, your players do have a history of just taking their bat and ball and going home. I'm just dealing with the facts here Bob..

ChangMaiNoon is even too scared to post in this thread! Serial flouncer. What does that say about welshmen Bob??

[Wally Dorian Raffles]

tick tock tick tock... Not at the first test yet and you're already short of 2 bowlers. tick tock tick tock...

2 ?

Harris will be sorely missed, but why are you counting him as 2? Perhaps you counted 1 - forgot - counted 1 again - and then remembered the 1st one you counted as well??

I must say I'm constantly fascinated by the way the pommy brain works ..

90/1 would still be unders. Not saying 5-0 isn't possible, but the chances of shit weather forcing at least 1 draw would have to be odds-on. Has there ever been a 5 test series over there that didn't get rain?.

[Headworx]

They do perform better for sure...but please remind me which Australian has won the US Open though Bob

Aussie golfers have 10 Major winners with 16 titles between them. NZ have 2 major winners with 2 titles between them. Sure, Campbell jagged a US Open and nobody was more surprised than him. But the chances of him or any of the other Kiwis on the PGA tour (LOL) holding another one in the air are somewhere between none and fuck all. The 2 best things NZ golf have going for them are Lydia Ko with a club in her hands and Frank Nobilo with a mike in his, both are above excellent at what they do.

but not ONE US Open...which was the question

NZ have 2 major winners with 2 titles between them.

Including a US Open

Sure, Campbell jagged a US Open and nobody was more surprised than him.

Not the Aussies who know him...the guy was either brilliant or pathetic...with no in between..and as the great Jack Nicklaus said you don't win the US Open...the US Open chooses you...also Campbell had many wins around the world, including one over Tiger in his prime.

Frank Nobilo with a mike in his, both are above excellent at what they do.

Nobilo was a winner on both the European and US PGA Tours...he had to retire with back problems...he seems to have taken an Australasian spot on the Golf Channel from Ian Cooker Sparrow who lost his mojo after winning the Open...although they have that wanker Greg Norman making comments now, unless that was just for the US Open...bloody dickhead
