I suppose you know that NSW scored 250ish and won by an innings and 90 inside two days? If it doesn't dry out in Brissie the sight-screen attendant will need a helmet.

Loyalty?? nothing of the sort. Pommie cricket fans are slow well known learners.

Rubbish, there was a time after the Lillie Thomo Boonie period when the Aussie cricketers couldn't win against an English village team

and you even had a Crying captain who was undermined by his own team

but I think this time will be different it will be a more even contest

Actually Boonie was part of the rebuilding after Kim Hughes' retirement. Kim blamed the undermining on former players and the media. In doing that he may just have been being diplomatic but Allan Border certainly asked him to not resign.

I agree this series will be more even than the last time the poms were here, if for no other reason than it couldn't be less even than the whitewash last time.

I mean Warnie wasn't even bowling well and he took a swag of wickets. He basically scared pommie batsmen into getting out.

Geez Suzy, didn't your parents buy you any dolls, ribbons, Johnny Farnham Albums etc?

Your friends must have thought you were a real party animal

Good on you for not following the traditional crowd

Yes I have been made aware of my mistake of Boonie by a certain "Cricket Tragic"

As for Warnie didn't he do the same to most of the teams in the cricketing world.
700 odd wickets tells it's own story

The Pomms went down hill after winning the Ashes in England a couple of years before

they seemed to be living on the past glory and celebration and forgot about the job in hand

This series will be different , I think they are more focused and evenly matched

Aus 2/85.

Clarky out at 27.

We're going to topple your top order in no time.

Yes 708 wickets says he was a great bowler. (Lots of other thing say he was also a very naughty boy off the field.) But by 4 years ago he had lost the flipper and the wrong un and bowled only leg breaks. He was still a good bowler but by no means great. Yet he was still successful and I think a lot of that success was in the batsmens head.

Presently 2/85 in Melbourne - that's probably about even.

Suzy · #28 03-11-2010, 03:42 PM

Aus 3/88

Haddin gone at 49.

Oh sheez, this is too easy. Give us a challenge.
