Thread: Cricket scores around the world

^ don't like to take the pommy path; and play for a draw. But being 1 up in the series makes me feel much better

Morkel out with a hammy injury.

Perhaps lady luck is shining down on us.

168/6

Stain clean bowls haddin

Trouble now

MJ in.

Averages 45.5 against SA

56 runs to stop the follow on good luck boys

crap.

Haddin is:

OUTTA HERE...

Johnson has hit 23 off 18 .... 3x 4 and 1x 6....

Mitch cops one back in the helmet. Not wearing an arm guard though. He ain't scared!

Fuck me, I take a morning off to watch the Rugger and look what happens...

FFS! Can't I trust you clowns with anything? Do I have to do everything myself?

205-8, I was gonna say what a crap score, but actually, that'd be a decent England 1st innings total...

20 more runs or so boys, just 20 more....

Stain looks like such a dickhead when he pulls the chainsaw - agro & psycho. At least Lee did it with a smile on his face

cool ... follow on averted

Must have purchased the boat when he moved to play for Queensland.

I often saw him on the gold coast, driving around in his landcruiser in the 80's. He didn't really know I was taking care of his boat, but I knew the car he drove, and would always make my mates cheer "Howzaaat???" when we met at the traffic lights. He always had a laugh with us

Phew.

246 all out, 177 behind. There's a chance of a result.

A few quick wickets we are back in it

Smith v MJ should be over soon

and it was.

Johnson to Smith, OUT, Johnson bursts through Smith's defence. Full and quick, 147ks, just outside off, angling in, Smith defends in front of his body, and edges it onto the stumps. Was it the expectation of the short delivery that did him in? He didn't move forward to defend this one
GC Smith b Johnson 13 (20m 12b 2x4 0x6) SR: 108.33

SA 1/30

Call me noustradamas(sorry about the spelling) aussie u know

Tony Greig and I (well, my family) lived in the same street in Sydney's east . . . used to go up to his house at night and shout:

"Looks like a cricket bat with holes" . . . (Only Aussies would know what that refers to.

Fuck offf betty the only result is we will win again
