The way Oz runs between the wickets that's a positive

Unbelievable that this side has so many basic deficiencies. Bad times.

I'm with MrK. As bad as India are going, it could be carnage for us in Bannietown. And then we have 10 Tests v the confident England. The next 12 months could be a bit miserable for Aus supporters.

Thankfully the cellar is well stocked.

Perera is good at changing the momentum with the ball.....towards the opposition.

Was just thinking the same thing.

Word, testify, farken oath, damn straight, abso-farkin-lutely, gold, jolly good show. Wink

Why don't they bowl their leggie? He looks useful to me.

*Cue jokes about that being the reason they don't bowl him*

Bailey's torture ends limply.

skully wrote:This bullshit of going in with only 4 specialist bats + Weed is so rubbish. After the inevitable early wickets, the remaining bats are sentenced to attempt to slowly build a smallish total. They fark around for 20 overs at 3 an over before falling then the allrounders get cleaned up by the Slinga.

Bernie needs a stump shoved up his ventriloquist dummy arse.

So predictable - slow partnership off 100 balls. Beetle gets 17 off 43 then falls. Ugh. In the crease comes Lead Feet Larry. It must be something in the Melbourne water - a Podge bacteria.

Are Con and Nikki's Aus biggest FTBs? They fail meekly in the past 3 games to moving balls, but in game 1 and 5 on flat decks they dine out. Still, I'll take it for the time being.

by skully Wed 23 Jan 2013, 05:54

Con doing an excellent Ollie North impression here.

by skully Wed 23 Jan 2013, 05:58

And I expect the "last 10 over stumble" to cruel us and leave us with about 210 here.

by skully Wed 23 Jan 2013, 06:03

So 3-172 with 10 to go. We really need 100 more to be competitive but we'll be lucky to get half that.

by skully Wed 23 Jan 2013, 06:11

Ugh, 5 singles per over so far.

why does fuse bat so slowly?

by skully Wed 23 Jan 2013, 06:30

Fairish ton by Con. Finally hits one in the middle over mid wicket. Need Yoody to tee off.

Cos he only scores through point?

by JGK Wed 23 Jan 2013, 06:32

So 5 innings into his JAMODI career, Phews is yet to score double figures.

by skully Wed 23 Jan 2013, 06:33

Hehehe, sort of sums him up. Very Ollie-esque.

by skully Wed 23 Jan 2013, 06:37

Yoody fails. Need a few zacks from Con.

by Henry Wed 23 Jan 2013, 06:38

Not very convincing from Maxwell there. Could have been out three times and finally holes out for nine.

Makes ODI runs on the flat tracks. Smile

by skully Wed 23 Jan 2013, 06:39

Slinga's slower ball seems very hard to pick.
