Nor do I. Mainly because they're shite.

True enough.

Waugh the Lesser burst through on the back of a squillion CC runs and likely had a better shield average than Paris.

Apparently it's been raining at the ground this morning so I guess it proves how full of sh*t weather forecasts are.

No Fidel, that can only be good.

Stupid leave from Cowan. Rampaul taking two balls for his wicket.

by Brass Monkey Mon 23 Apr 2012, 15:12

So, can someone please tell me in what regard Fidel Edwards is a better bowler than Ravi Rampaul? This man is a danger.

by tricycle Mon 23 Apr 2012, 15:26

Took long enough to figure out who was better. Much like Castro, his threat or lack of was found out.

Injuries and fitness issues kept him out of the first 2 matches. I think a fully fit Rampaul is the first seamer picked for the West Indies. But he had a shoulder injury and then got Dengue fever and if you saw him you could see he was plainly unfit to bowl long spells.

Oh dear Darren. Rolling Eyes

Aye, I half-forgot actually. Glad he's back. Should provide England with a very tough test.

I see Sammy has dropped two regulation catches. Nice.

by kkf Mon 23 Apr 2012, 15:42

Sammy really needs to stop fielding in the slips. It's almost a 50/50 proposition that he will actually catch it. He drops way too many in there.

by Henry Mon 23 Apr 2012, 15:49

He's a much better gully fieldsman.

Phil Hughes for Australia?

by PeterCS Mon 23 Apr 2012, 16:08

Is this the first ever Australian team to have three "Wa-"s in it?

by PeterCS Mon 23 Apr 2012, 16:25

What's happened to the scoring? I thought they must have gone off for rain.

by Brass Monkey Mon 23 Apr 2012, 16:47

Blimey, this Reinventor is a bit shite. Immensely lucky. Immensely. I back him to get a ton.

wankers or Western Australians?

Apparently, it isn't the first time, Doug Walters, Max Walker and John Watkins played in a test against Pakistan at the SCG in Jan '73

wa-rner, wa-tson, wa-de

not a wa-rnie in sight

by Brass Monkey Mon 23 Apr 2012, 17:54

Watson's looking controlled as usual.

Warner's looking all at sea ATM, he's even mistiming long hops.

by Brass Monkey Mon 23 Apr 2012, 17:57

Silly point drops Watson. Bad times for WI.

by Brass Monkey Mon 23 Apr 2012, 18:00

Warner edges just short of 2nd slip. Charmed.

by Brass Monkey Mon 23 Apr 2012, 18:24

Watson brains it again, all brain style between 40 and 60 once again. Brain.

by tricycle Mon 23 Apr 2012, 18:27

Shit shot and just about caught.
