Handy for a tilt at the fastest lap records.

Perhaps Flintoff's like that - explains why he was trying to drown himself in the West Indies: he was just looking for that extra edge to his game.

So can I crash a car into him?

Indeed.

He was awful in 06/07 when he had two!

What happened in 06/07? News hasn't reached the South Glamorgan airwaves just yet. Rudi has just taken the bails off at the Oval and we're brow beating him? What's going on? scratch

And yet you want us to stop using the 'Welsh people are slow and Wales is a backwards country' thing... confused

Nah, I was just pulling your leg. If I didn't know what happened in 2006/07, then I should probably leave the forum right away. I was referring to the fact that it was a very forgettable series. If you're a pom or a taff that is.

Should never forget an absolute drubbing, it makes the good times so much more enjoyable...

True that. It must be party central in Dhaka then.

The government may well declare public holidays and give the players cars and houses.

No open top bus tour then?

England @ $4.65 - definitely worth throwing a pineapple on

by Zat Mon 03 Aug 2009, 04:13

Really? That's very generous, especially if the forecast has improved as stated above.

It is what the man from the tab said. I think it is over the odds because they have so much liability against the draw they may be trying to cover the risk.

Just checked the tab site. Might call in on the way home and invest a lazy 20. It'd cover my losses on the drawn series bet which looks likely to go tits-up.

Geez, the man framing those odds must be a pom. Surely that's a very pessimistic outlook given the state of the game. Shocked

You could put $2 on and buy 3 bottles of your favourite plonk with the winnings

by Henry Mon 03 Aug 2009, 05:26

I think England need 3 wickets in the first session today to have a shot at victory. Australia 5 down and only 80 or so runs ahead gives England a real chance. If the ball is swinging, it's definetly on the cards.

by G.Wood Mon 03 Aug 2009, 05:30

If the ball is swinging you could easily have as all out by lunch or just after

We have to make at least 300 to be safe.

"Quite a lot of cloud but it should be dry and quite bright for most of the day. There is a risk of a few showers developing by this afternoon but any showers should be light and not last too long. The cloud will probably thicken up towards evening bringing the risk of bad light late in the day."

we are so rogered

England has as much chance of winning this test as Australia did in the world record chase. ie. Zilch

Either that's a valiant attempt at a defensive woof or you have a short memory, Ponts. We did lose 7-80 odd in the 1st session of day 2.
