yaar these Perth test matches aren't good for me because the day's play will end at 4: 30 am.

And it is quite perfect for me as I won't even miss the first session since the game started at 8.00 am IST.

BTW, Symonds going great guns!
yeah i remember Perth games use to start at 7:30 am in Pakistan.

Sydeny and Hobart use to start around 5: 30 while the games in NZ started at a horrible time(around 4 am). You might miss most of the sessions when IND tour NZ Chanda.

NZ was very tough as was WI. At least they showed the entire days' play in extended highlight on ESPN but Ten Sports would not even do that for WI games.

Other than these two countries, rest are just fine for me.

In comes Waqar Younis of the late 2000s...

....errr and is smacked for 4 of the 1st ball

I must say that even Irfan and RP Singh bowled better here than what Steyn is bowling at the moment.

Actually the 1993 tour of WI was perhaps the 1st time i watched full session(s) of test cricket...

DS hasn't found that late swing which he is so famous for...

Symonds is playing brilliant cricket.

by Chandan Wed 17 Dec 2008, 08:14

Symonds marching on!

Good for Australia.

by Red Wed 17 Dec 2008, 08:16

It doesn't swing anywhere near as much in Australia as it does in other parts of the world.

by PlanetPakistan Wed 17 Dec 2008, 08:16

Sometimes I don't know who is worse. Red or Chandan.

Didn't Irfan swing it a lot earlier this year?

Anyway, bye folks. Enjoy.

Nothing sexist about it. Just get tired of her dragging India into every thread.

by PlanetPakistan Wed 17 Dec 2008, 08:31

Symonds has raced on to 49 as the clock ticks to 3:30 am here in the great state of Florida.

Fark . . . what a strange day of cricket!

by Paul Keating Wed 17 Dec 2008, 08:37

After hitting a four, Symonds gets himself out.

by PlanetPakistan Wed 17 Dec 2008, 08:38
