Dont be dull enough to come in here then.  I don't like F1 but I aint going to go in there and tell them how it fails.  It obviously dosen't fail dickhead as its watched all over the world and attracts lots of sponsors etc (both F1 and Cricket).

I very rarely call people names in a serious way on the internet but I honestly thought we were past this stupid bollocks.

If you dont like something dont make the effort to tell us, just dont tell us.

Are you thinking of Steve Waugh 27?

Most of the great players he's known for playing with such as Warne, McGrah, Gillie etc. came into the team under Waugh as far as I know.
I could be mate, I can only take fro granted those players but what about

Big nose Hayden? Langer? Lee? Hussey (x2) Symonds (umm yeah ok not the best example) etc etc.

I'd prefer Ponting to, Hussein, Flintoff, Pieterson, Atherton, Gatting, Stewart and just about every other English skipper we have ever had.  Your team is for eg 23-1 or 23-2 and Ponting comes in and takes the next day to hit 150+ not only saving but possibly winning the game for you when at the end of the first hour of the first session its looking like you will loose on day 3.

His batting is excellent, was number 1 a few years back and is also an excellent fielder.  He can think 2 moves ahead in regards to field placings and is inspirational.  You never get players revolting against him and is held in high regard.

I love him that man, what a man, what a player, get him up yur I wanna boff him, Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.

Well maybe not, I cant stand him but fuck me he's good at what he does.

He's in a tough spot, we have a young fairly inexperienced squad. All the greats that I remember have left and are playing IPL.

He's a good player yes, I never said boot him from the team. I said he's not the best captain we could have had. Then again, maybe I'm just jaded after having so many epic captains.

Hayden made his debut under Taylor, but went silent again for a bit as his average wasn't good enough to keep him on the team alongside the other opening batsmen. Did pretty well with Waugh as captain though.

Lee made his debut under Waugh and had some of his best performances then.

Langer played first under Taylor, then Waugh and finished up his excellent career under Ponting.

The sun is setting on Australian cricket methinks. We really need to sit back and develop the young talent better as almost all the old guys are gone now.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Fucking hell, I thought Ponting been skipper for yonks like?

Talking of Waugh, how funny was it when they had a go back at someone only for the intended victim to reply 'Shut up your not even the best cricketer in your family'.  The Aussies pissed emselves over it.

I don't see why it had to be only 9 overs. The ground has floodlights. Why not just extend it into the night. At least 15 overs would've been decent. I don't see why they've got to do it like F1 where the match can't last longer than a certain amount of time so they have to start making the race shorter (or in the case for cricket, less overs)


I understand if it's like test cricket or an ODI that's only supposed to last during the daytime as conditions can be different at night and some grounds don't have lights, but for a T20 match .....it's just dumb to truncate a match so much.

11.20 pm BBC2, I wouldn't worry about it though, you have usually been put to bed by then.

Well that was a surprise. Pakistan winning the tournament, after all the shit that's happened, I'd have thought for them it would all be over for some time. Fair play, they knocked out favourites South Africa, and then second favourites Sri Lanka


Still, South Africa or at least Sri Lanka should've just rolled over them. But they killed Sri Lanka in the final

Everyone keeps saying "roll on the Ashes" but when it arrives everyone will realise just how boring Test cricket is. I understand it's a test of stamina and the length is what makes it a "Test" but does that really mean that batsman have to defend 5 overs in a row. T20 shows that runs can be easily made, it shouldn't matter whether it's 20 or 50 or 90 overs (Test) a day.

Im gutted the T20 is over, they should of extended it by a week and shared some of the games out lover more days or given rain days so games were played the next day if it rained.

Congrats to the Paki's, commiseration to the lil Sri Lankans.  I know Cricket and Cricket knows me but it just goes to show really, it don't matter what pitch you bowl on if you bowl, straight and full you will take wickets.  The best seamers of the comp did this, its basic and simple but effective.

Pakistand did use the short ball in the final to their advantage, just short of a length with plenty of bounce.  You have to be a bit careful due to the 1 bouncer per over rule.

Stroll on the Ashes, its the only test series that gets me hard.
