Thread: Cricket scores around the world

Worst day of the year today, back to work after Christmas, just one day though and even better I have a test match to listen to.

Don't like the decision to bowl first in Sydney.

3 new caps is a bit of a risk, smacks of desperation after all these guys will have hardly had any competitive cricket for months.

Or blooding some new guys given it's a dead rubber?

Yes, of course that's what you are doing..... but to what result.....?

To bring a guy who has hardly played a game in months into a demoralised team and if he fails.....what??

Discard......? Jeez that would be fair wouldn't it?

Great, it's 2014 and today True decides to give me an internet connection worthy of the 1990's.

Yes. Not successfully, but with all the pads and helmet I'd like the opportunity to face a top sportsman, of course. Most folks on this trhead would, I presume.

Gotta call bullshit again. Anyone who can send a red calling someone a 'fukin moron' from the safety of cyber space, is a coward in my book. A coward wouldn't willingly face up to a professional fast bowler, even if its balaclava is padded

Bailey gone

Haddin 0 on strike

Haddin is the only batsman Aus have. One more than England though...

Mitch is picking up all the MOTM's but Haddin should be Man of the Series.
