Another case of Nosmas?

It worked for Dizz.

BJ Hodge c Watson b Symonds 17 - What a trio of washed-up hacks.

The first one we won was slated for a sixth day. I was sweating on a result because of a flight.

Saw it live. It was a dolly. The big sheila (Watson) slapped the ground and stamped his wittle feet as if it was someone else's fault.

I'm backing Rogers for 150.

Nicely summed up. Cool

Must be tough, being a wash-up at the age of 27 in Australian cricket.

Given that he was on the record as saying he wanted to be Australia's answer to Freddie Fatlips just three or so years ago, and has been injured so often that he seemingly can't take the risk of bowling again, and almost every time he gets picked for Australia another injury seems to come along, I'd suggest washed up might be generous..

So, his dream came true.

So all Victoria need is a draw? It's gonna be a dull game....

He has too much estrogen in his system. And the heart muscles are a little fragile.

I can't complain about the crabbing. If I'd had my way QLD wouldn't have declared until tea on day five when we won our first one.

Yarp.

Batting for records.

Aye, fair call qmy. The Viles haven't conceded a point this year so they clearly deserve the Shield.

Still, it would be p!ss funny if they choked.

by Henry Fri 13 Mar 2009, 04:08

It'll be like 2006 where Victoria (Or was it Queensland?) declared after making 900.

Finish top of the table, host the final, prepare an absolute road, secure the draw, secure the Sheffield Shield. The system needs to be changed.

And you GAF why, Trev?

I have Australian cricket's best interests at heart.

Ah well, he's still got his IPL contract to keep him warm.

by Bradman Fri 13 Mar 2009, 04:20

I'd like to go on record skulls as saying that I never said "they deserved the Shield" just that they'll more than likely win by exploiting the rules to their own end.

I don't GAF how many points they didn't concede or whether or not they help old ladies across the road.

Nicely played, Oppie. You have always been one of the more difficult to bait. Cool

Well at least that frees up your hand for your own interests.
