Crown Lager , Bobby, Crown Lager....

Crown Lager is one of the cheaper beers these days. Hundreds of small breweries making beer in Oz now and you can buy your flavour if you look (drink?) for it hard enough. Last Time I was there my dad was stocking this in the fridge https://www.danmurphys.com.au/produc...?bmUID=kIVsaFM

I think Bob has us here though. I think the best beer is made in Europe - Not just England though - Well, they have better beer on tap - and i'm not talking about their most popular - Fosters!

Which Mitch? We have 3 you know. The left arm thunderbolts that ripped through the top order came from Mitchell Starc in the first 2 matches that Johnson sat out. And Mitch Marsh has been smashing your pie chuckers all over the ball park. Get's confusing doesn't it


This is the part where Bob tells us that he doesn't watch one day cricket. Drumroll.........

He's right, though . . . few things wore than banana benders or cockroaches. Even shite from Newcastle, Wollongong or Canberra is simply on the nose.

Let's face it - it's either Sydney's eastern suburbs or it's crap.

Even then if it isn't harbourside it isn't worth mentioning!


(Bobckock is spot on, we have parochial tattooed on our foreheads)

So when's the next test match coming up?

^ not for ages

^^ Gold Coast for me eventually. Living on the water with a boat there is a lifestyle that is pretty hard to beat IMHO. Large japanese community there suits me too

Broad: Clarke's rushed return a risk

England bowler Stuart Broad says Australia could be taking a risk rushing Michael Clarke back from hamstring surgery for their Cricket World Cup opener.

7 Feb 2015 - 7:02 PM UPDATED YESTERDAY 7:46 PM

England paceman Stuart Broad has questioned the wisdom of Australian skipper Michael Clarke rushing back from hamstring surgery to play in next Saturday's Cricket World Cup opener in Melbourne.

Clarke went under the knife after scoring a century against India in the opening Adelaide Test of the recent four-match series.

The 33-year-old was initially slated to return midway through the World Cup but, after undergoing a punishing five-week recovery program, is on course to face England at the MCG.

Clarke returned to the middle in Sydney grade cricket last weekend and scored 34 during the week against a Bangladesh XI in a low-key match for Cricket Australia in Brisbane.

He also bowled two overs and took a sharp catch at Allan Border Field and, should he get through a warm-up game against the UAE on Wednesday unscathed, is widely expected to start the tournament.

But Broad, who admits he's fully expecting another hostile reception from a 90,000-strong capacity crowd at the MCG, expressed surprise at news of Clarke's recovery.

"I'd heard the plan was for him to play two games in," Broad said.

"He's averages 43-44 for them and is obviously a world-class player and I am sure they will want their captain back for all the games.

"He's played a grade match, I read, but I don't know how fit he is.

"But at the same time, do you want to risk a hamstring early in the tournament?

"You'd think they'd want him right for the big games later on.

"I don't know how well he is going, but hamstrings are a tricky thing."

Broad was singled out by sections of the Australian media and the crowds during last year's disastrous Ashes series for the tourists.

It stemmed from his infamous refusal to walk in 2013 at Trent Bridge after edging an Ashton Agar delivery to Clarke at first slip via the gloves of Brad Haddin, then nonchalantly standing his ground.

Despite the chorus of boos that greeted his arrival to the crease at every ground, Broad was one of the few England players to emerge with any credit bagging 21 wickets at a respectable average of 27.5.

"I think I get quite excited by it - it sharpens me up," Broad said.

"I had it a lot last (European) winter out here and I've got quite a bit of experience from it.

"I think the experienced players can help the guys that haven't played in front of hostile crowds before.

"It can make you go into shells, but the best way to deal with it is to express yourself."

England have an appalling record in the World Cup with the 1992 tournament, also in Australia and New Zealand, the last time they reached the final.

In the recent one-day Tri Series, Eoin Morgan's side beat India twice but lost three times to Australia with the final in Perth a particularly one-sided affair with the hosts cruising to a 112-run victory.

However, Broad insists the weight of expectation will be on the home side next week.
"A lot of the pressure will be on the Australians," he said.

"Ninety thousand odd people are turning up and they all expect Australia to win."

"He's averages 43-44 for them and is obviously a world-class player and I am sure they will want their captain back for all the games.

Clarke's ODI average is misleading. He has 40'ish not outs, which inflate his average and raise questions about his selfishness as that is a hell of a lot of not outs for a #5 in this format. He also has a very average strike rate.

Truth is, the ODI side is probably better off without him.

"Ninety thousand odd people are turning up and they all expect Australia to win."

Cheers for that Barbie

None of their beer is memorable...might be something to do with the hot dry climate...the beer is so cold you can get colic...that is why Aussies moan about the warm beer in England...it isn't but compared to Aussie beer it is positively tepid

You mean the southern men!!!!...didn't you notice they are all cyclops...with an eye patch...and run around in shorts and shirts in knee deep snow chasing animals...think they are the best at everything including cricket...nice scenery though...pity you didn't travel around up north and try bathing in a hangi pot.

There is a shot with Chappelli and Bevan Congdon...both similar types...cranky and courageous...they fell out in that series over Chappelli asking Glenn Turner if his wife smelled of curry down below...Congdon had a weakness around 170...but the really Australian thing about that series was the high ranking cricket Australia official who gave the Kiwis a talk on the eve of the SCG test and warned them if they didn't play well enough they might not get invited back...the Kiwis responded by having them on the ropes courtesy of leg spinner David O'Sullivan...and the needed the fifth day washed out to save the test.

Wally doesn't care for Botham.

What a bombshell.

Aussies were on track to post a 400+ score against india in their practice match with 104 from 83 to Warner and 122 from 57 from the Big Show 11 4's, 8 6's before he retired hurt.
No commentary so don;t know what's happened to him, nothing serious I hope. Maybe his arms just got tired

Australia 356/8 (45.5 ov)
India
