Australia v South Africa, 3xODIs + Only T20, 4-17 November, 2018

I expect the SAffers to absolutely hammer us in this clown cricket series.

PMs XI currently have the SAffers 7-137!!

Make that 8-139!! 

Beerdork the pick with 3-35.

All out for 173.

I'd love the Dorf to go through a whole season injury free. He is quality and could be fantastic on an Ashes tour.

Aust X1 2/45. Jeez we've got a long tail. I can see this ending badly.

Now 3/53 after a breezy innings from Froggy Mk II.

Sorry - Patterson is out. Froggy still in.

Five down. We'll be lucky to make 100

First time i've seen 'Toasted' bat. Could be useful.

Given his first name surely it's "Nosaj Sangha"


Was about the post the same thing - first time I've seen him bat too. A few shots were reminiscent of Symonds (although he is smaller). Then again, compared to Beetle, he looks like Greg Chappell.

Bailey's batting stance seems to get more ridiculous every season. soon he'll pirouette like a figure skater.

Well...he's still in.

Christ, he's taking the piss, isn't he??? His back leg is so far around it's almost in front of his "front" leg. Talk about farting in the general direction of the bowlers!!!

Sangha looks OK.

Pretty good win in the end to the PMs XI.

a rare good win against an international team.

ScoMo

Best PM since LJH

Restricted to White ball cricket this season to save his back

Lol. Rather than our bowlers simply making the ball talk one language, inspired by ScuMo the ball spoke several at once.

Is it just me , or is there no noticeable build up in excitement to the International Home season starting.

Spot on. No-one needs an extra heart pill to deal with the excitement.

Admit though excitement will return if that filthy gob shyte, Faff again drones on piously about how they won't sledge Oz about tall tampering. Given he is one of the more famous cheats I swear I will wrap a crutch around his red neck.

we're still talking about AFL draft/trades and now horse racing. CA have done a very poor marketing job with this series. But to be fair, they could have done world's best marketing campaign and we would all be discussing the fallout of the review anyway.

Prolly worth its own thread but hey, its cbnlg, and I can't be farked.

Seems a special pile of guano in the new oval is to be named after cbnlg.

Of course the publicity shy gnome was humbled by the honour. Reflecting on the state of cricket in Oz, cbnlg put his incisive noggin to the task and came up with:

""It's sad, isn't it? Everyone seems to be at each other, there's lots of criticism. But we've got such a proud history of Australian cricket," he said.
"We've had a few hiccups along the way, in not just in the last six or 12 months, but over our history. But we should be so proud of Australian cricket."
.... and of course we are all chest bursting proud of the gnome and what he brings to the game.

They are expecting a half full Optus stadium today.

Really? Maybe the Wozzies think they will get fta via satellite from their farms in Yarpville.

Gone are days of JAMODIs selling out, not that CA give a stuff about that.
