THE COMMENT WAS A JOKE .... did you notice the beside it ?

And, like I really give a shit which of the other two qualify by poring over a set of numbers and graphs ....

Implosion imminent...

This is all a little bit gay. Like the Cockring in Amsterdam.

Try being nice like that all the time, man. You're good at it and so un-Australian.

Jim, I'll be nicer to you if you're not so instantly anti-Aussie? Deal?

Zat, I try to be objective, but with all the one-sided anti-subi rubbish coming out from your part of the woods (not necessarily you), which may sometimes have court-jester wind-up elements to it, objectivity does get difficult at times. I guess that’s just my incorrigible derailed character

Other than that

Not really Leve ... I've got tickets for Lord's tomorrow, but will only rock up for the Kiwi/Saffer game with a few saffer mates ... should be good fun with beers to follow!
Clogs v Paksters ... would like to see the Clogs upset the odds ... but frankly CGAF.

Nah, you're pretty chippy to say the least.

Should be a cracking match, two big-hitting sides. Stick a 10er down on 10+ sixes...

This Jesse Ryder fella ... serious weight carrying problem (puts Salesey to shame ) - but strewth, he doesn't half hit the leather off the ball with effortless and consumate ease.

Aye, should be a 6 hitting fest.

Aye, must be something behind it... (about 20 stone).

Oram, Taylor, McCullum, Ryder, Guptill, Smith, De Villiers, Morkel and more - quality. Enjoy man, it'd be one of the only games I'd actually be bothered about seeing live.

It was a joke, yes, though unintentional.

There's a really good blog post here.

Which includes this graph.

funny how math works...you get more overs if you concede more runs

PMSL at the dough-boy!
Do ...D'you honestly belive I really really GAF about "winning" scores in a Holland v Pakster game, let alone one in a T20 circus ?!
"Unintentional" ... FFS! You really have to be deluded !

I hear there is a chance that there might be rain problems.

Just spitting atm ... but dark clouds and patchy sun overhead .... think they'll play if the weather holds like this.

They've said that before almost every game and one hasn't been abandoned yet.

But any reduction in the overs would suit the Dutch.

Yep... Ireland & Netherlands in the same group. Zzzzzzzzzzz....

I have a brace of Grandstand tickets for Sunday 14th ... Oireland vs Lanka and Modi's XI vs the Clogs.


Can't give them away so will take them along this afternoon to the ticket office at Lord's in the hope that a fanatical Indian might cough up the ante.

Why not just dress up as a bucket of shit and go to the match pretending to be buckaroo?

Thought about it ... but it might attract the unwelcome attentions from cloned buckeroo look-alikes ... imagine ... 10,000 screaming buckets-of-sh!t banshees!!

So lets see, merls,
A-1) Modi's XI, 2) Oireland
B-1) England 2) Clogs/Paksters
C-1) Lankans 2) Calypsos
D-1) Saffies 2) Kiwis

right?

That makes it:
1. SA vs IRE 2. NL vs NZ 3. ENG vs WI 4. IND vs SL 5. SL vs NZ 6. SA vs ENG 7. IRE vs WI 8. IND vs NL 9. ENG vs IRE 10. NL vs SL 11. SA vs WI 12. IND vs NZ (replace NL with PAK, should Pakistan win today by the required margin and make allowance for some 1/2 assumptions, in which case replace SL with WI and vice versa, also NZ with SA and vice versa.However, if the Clogs beat PAK outright, you might have to replace ENG with the Clogs)
You could also replace the country codes with the nicknames above.
E&OE

What?

It's :

SA
Eng
Ind
WI

NL
Ire
NZ
SL

Pakistan are batting 1st and i am shocked.
