Australia v West Indies, 3rd ODI, Sydney, Feb 12

It's a tree person from Middle Earth, right?

OK, now I have NFI what you're on about.

Never read Tolkien's classic trilogy?

It's a nice day. I might go out to the ground if I can get someone to go with me.

Enthusiasm for this fixture isn't exactly high.

Jay's probably gonna get the shits with me for changing the title back to include 'massacre'...

Yeah - it's the most important issue in my life at this very moment...

Hey, I oculd have made an URGENT request for info on the Rep Buttons.

Bring them back, you know it was fun.

Or give us some other new toys...

Paine to open, with Watson and Haddin rested.

Bog not playing, so the rpelacement opener will be...


Voges.

What the ...?

Farquin soft effort from Punter, he should have promoted himself for this one.

Embarrasingly poor crowd. Can't be more than 10,000 in when the SCG's capacity is about 42,000.

Is this Punter's way of saying to Hildy that if yu are going to select me crabs I'm going to make sure they fail?

Or is Hildy & friends just so stupid they picked Voges as a replacement opener?

paine in passable imitation of Haddit shocker

How heavy is the rain in Spivcentral?

sounds like they are about to start again ....c'mon windies

More rain to come.

So the Farkworth-Lewis system will set WI 450 to get in 25 overs?

Pick a number, multiply by the number of beers consumed in bay 4, divide by drunky's number of brain cells...

Clarke is an uber-crab in the short forms of the game. Farquin idiot.

odd that Mr Snicket is better able to adjust his game to the shorter forms than the kid

All the shit you can see out Orange and Bathurst way is tracking due east at around 90km/h. WIndies should go in and belt the shit out of the ball at the start of their innings. Could do worse than to send Pollard in to open or at 3.

Sh!t, go Rhino!!

49.4
Rampaul to Harris, SIX, 138.4 kph, Thunderous Smack! Harris .. take a bow. Immense fun. He moved outside the leg stump line and gave it a good clean hit over long-on. Up ... up and over.

49.3
Rampaul to Harris, FOUR, 139.7 kph, Wallop. He clears the front foot and slams a length delivery from the off-stump line to midwicket boundary

49.2
Rampaul to Harris, FOUR, 135.9 kph, He unfurls that shot again. It's a bottom-hand powered swat-pull ... Again he picked the length delivery from leg and middle and lapped it to fine-leg boundary

49.1
Rampaul to Harris, FOUR, 136.7 kph, fullish, on the middle and leg line, swung away past short fine-leg fielder. He sort of lapped it around the corner

225 all out. Enough?

Surely Crystal is due.

So not only do the qunts at Channel Nein cut to the news and miss the final 2 overs, but they don't show Rhino's 18 runs in 4 balls in the final over on the sports during the News.

Farkin qunts.

Radar ain't lookin' good. Unless Farkworth intervenes, this will be 2-0-1 to Aus going into Mismatch 4.

crappy Sydney weather!
