West Indies v Pakistan, 3rd ODI, Gros Islet, 19 July, 2013

Gripping.

Who's got the biggest fix in the offing?

A tie!! And nobody gives a shit.  

An epic JAMODI. Fully deserving of 3 half arsed posts.

Skully's OP was spot on! Stunning encounter between 2 VERY interesting cricket playing countries...

Far far better than the Ashes as usual

There's Le Tour
There's The Ashes
There's Aussie Rules
Then there's the Golf if all those fail me.

This may be a bit low on the priority.

As bad as we are going, The Ashes still easily rates no. 1 for me, then the Golf, then the rest.

Although there was a couple of goodish thrillers on Foxy Movies last night. The remake of The Thing had some decent SFX.

When I'm not half-arsed, I'm half cut.  

Not surprisingly, an Akmal stuffed up at the end to ensure the Windies pulled off an unlikely tie.

Wonder what the tie was paying? $100,000 an Akmal?

you should double or nothing, man.

I forgot the football. Choice of either the Socceroos playing in EAFF tournament against the other top 3 nations in Asia or Man Utd playing A-League AnyStars.

Caribbean JAMODIs are behind them too

I think Pakistan will have to live with an error or two considering he is a part time keeper.I don't mind him as a wicket keeper because Sarfraz and Adnan aren't very good batsmen.
I still find it baffling how such a fine batsman as Umar Akmal was dropped in favor of the likes of Shoaib Malik(zero 50s in 3 years), Umar Amin(list A average of 32) and Asad Shafiq(ODI average fo 27)

& the bookies win it again.

2-0

this is a unique form of criket. those on field are just going through the motions .. & everything interesting happens off it.

Cash registers ringing, phone calls made in thousands, bets taken, one-line messages filtered down into the dressing rooms, busy bookies sitting in front of phone banks, rates being fixed in Doofai .. is this the future of cricket.
