Australia v NZ in the cricket!

[iceman]

Since there's a couple of kiwis floating around here, wondered if any of you are interested in the test coming up?

I'm not a huge huge cricket fan, but don't mind watching it occassionally, especially when the aussies are winning :)

[gbeal]

Ice,
so you do have a nasty streak then??
I too am not a big cricket fan, and really only watch it when we are winning as well. This means I don't watch it all that often when we play you guys.
Such is the sporting rivalry between our two countries, very intense. I suppose this is good for the sports though, as playing the best in the world can only make you better, surely.
Take care,
Gary

What does everyone think about the new proposal to allow bowlers to straighten their arm to 15 degrees? Just so that Murali does not get called for chucking. What on earth is happening to cricket? He is a chucker, and should be called as such. He should be made to change his action. He has taken the world record in the past from this suspect action. Other bowlers have had their careers cut short because they were chuckers. I say don't allow any chucking it will ruin cricket.

Crikey watching the cricket , Australia was looking pretty good and the sneaky kiwis have hit back ...... crikey

[rumples riot]

Dont worry we have got Leahman and Clarke there still. One of them needs to make a ton now. Just teasing the Kiwis a little to get their hopes up. LOL

[beren]

Hehehe they have to face the thunderbolts from Lee to , great outfield catch to get Hayden earlier .

[rumples riot]

One of the best I have seen since McGrath couple of years back.

Don't try to wind me up you guys, I am still on a high afet just watching (delayed) coverage of the BaBa's footy match at Twickenham.
The cricket has been a whitewash lately, so until our form picks up, no way.,

I think i remember that , hey Glens having a great season so far ...batting skills improving tenfold .

ps: remember Dysons {i think} flying backwards soccer goalie styled outfeild catch way back in the 82/83 season [ i think}

[rumples riot]

Now your testing me. Was in the Army at the time, but vaguely remember that catch. Don't worry Gary your boys have done some damage today, now 8 for 221. Might only get around 240 or so.

bloody kiwis :scared3:

[gbeal]

Don't worry too much, we have been like this before, and the wheels have fallen off. That corpulent lady isn't singing yet.

[iceman]

It's all kasprovich's fault! What a time to have a shocking over! :) Oh well, sounded like a cracker.. listened to the last 5 overs on the radio lying in bed.

Hey have we got any humble pie smilies? :P

[gbeal]

"Hey have we got any humble pie smilies? "

Why???
Did we win?
Gary

[Mick]

Yes what a thriller Gary, good to see the kiwis have a win.

[gbeal]

Awesome, I had better savour this one time then.

[Saturn%5]

All i can say is :(

[rumples riot]

Just enjoy this one Gary, because you won't get another. We always let someone win at the begining of each series, just to get their hopes up.:P

On a serious note they were just better than us on the day. We need to sack Ponting straight away, can't have him loosing to anyone.:D

Paul

[rumples riot]

Ahh the Aussies strike back:D :cheers:

[gbeal]

Oh heck, we lost again??

[iceman]

1-1 in the series now Gary.. last game is tomorrow!

[gbeal]

See what happens when you don't watch it. I spent a bit of last night, between clouds, imaging the comet. Anyone else seen/imaged it?
Do I need a new thread, perhaps in the Solar System section?

[iceman]

If you want to talk about it, put it in the "Space & Astronomy" forum, if you want to talk about it and post pictures, put it in the "Solar System" forum.

Cant see it too much cloud and rain!!!
