Surely you'd go for this one , Trev?

Traicos, the only bowler in the match not to pick up a wicket.

Wow!

Australia- what a team

I was at that match.
Got corporate hospitality, free Crownies all day, and England went down like a sack of shit.
Good times!

He must be suffering from scalp burns due to that. He's gone off the field. Pardon my ignorance, but wasn't the ICC supposed to be cracking down on bowlers going off for a rest after completing a spell? What a load of shit.

And here's my nominee for the worst ODI played in Australia.

Link.

Although this match may surpass most/all others in terms of farce.

by DJ_Smerk Tue 09 Feb 2010, 04:28

Can't be that bad Zat, atleast they had several ATG's in that match.

Although, Ian Bishop was the stand-out, so I sort of get where you're coming from.

Funny part about it is that the ball flew to the fielder at point and Johnson had given up appealing but Bowden who started to walk away, came back in and gave the decision

16.5
Johnson to Deonarine, OUT, 144.6 kph, on the middle stump and hitting the leg stump or is it? Bowden certainly thinks so as Deonarine who was looking good has to go. There is an air of doubt around the dismissal as Bowden took his own sweet time in giving the decision and then walked over to the square leg umpire to discuss about it

Anybody watching the game want to elaborate on this ?

There were two noises (pad to pad) and Billy's initial instinct seemed to drag him away ready for the run leg bye, then he thought about it, walked back to the stumps and gave it out. TV showed it was a correct call.

Bull was less than impressed.

I wonder if CA told Punter to take his foot off the gas. Windies tail are staging a fightback (as improbable as it seems) after the top order were pathetically embarrassed.

by embee Tue 09 Feb 2010, 07:36

Defendable Total by the Windies ...they'll have to bowl and field well or the Ozzies will have to bat like Banglarabble for the Windies to win

by embee Tue 09 Feb 2010, 08:07

fantastic start by bog ...this is about the point he normally plays a silly shot and gets out

Such is the ineptitude of our top order for this series, our lower order can all bat a hell of a lot better than Morton and Dowlin. In fact the hitters have actually done a good job in the two matches so far, it's the top/middle order that have been diabolical.

Also, wouldn't it be nice if Kemar Roach could bowl with the wind behind him for once? Wtf is the management thinking?

silly qunt . . he needs to make few bigger scores if he wants to keep his place . . .

Wish I had JGK's powers

I thought he'd need to make more bigger scores to keep his place...

It's quite amusing how good he always looks before he gets out though. He really did look a million dollars:

Ok this medium pace crap is pissing me off. Can we get it around Twatson's nose at 150 kph please?

by WIFAN Tue 09 Feb 2010, 08:40

Even the outside edges are flying to the boundary at breakneck speed.

What an atrocious ODI for Windies fans this has been. Literally nothing to cheer about.

by Zat Tue 09 Feb 2010, 08:54

I could have been worse, wiffy, Australia could have had Brett Lee playing for them...

by WIFAN Tue 09 Feb 2010, 08:57

Roachie is giving me something to cheer at least. Up to 151.5 kph.

He has bowled the 8 quickest deliveries in the match and his average speed is 147 kph.

by tac Tue 09 Feb 2010, 09:00

He'd be even quicker if he took the 2.5kgs of gold from around his neck .. . .
