Woah, check out that bat that Hayden was using today in the IPL. The handle is about the same size as the batting bit.

Apparently it's called a Mongoose bat:



He was smacking the ball around like silly with that

Pink balls to be used

The article reckons the opening game of this years season will be played under floodlights.  Why?

Day/Night tests but really I don't see the point. Test matches are fine, the only reason people won't come to tests is if the quality of play is shit or boring. So get teams to play better and make the pitches bouncier. Simple.

Sadface at the two Clarke dismissals in this test. I've not seen him in such astonishingly good form in aaages. I mean, Katich and North are good but not the most elegant to watch...

Who you playing?  Hurry up and wrap it up so w/e is missing from the IPL can hot foot it over there.

We were playing NZ. But tbh most of our better players either don't give a fuck about t20 (ponting, katich etc.) or don't give a fuck about ipl (clarke, mitch, etc.) to be honest i think watson, bollinger as a last-min replacement, harris are playing ipl but no one else.

England close to wrapping up the Aussies in the T20 Final, won the Ashes and shit too. Good stuff by England this year or 'season'

Game over. England win by 7 wickets. Australia sucks lol

Yeah you guys definitely came out better on the day. Our bowling was pretty average tbh, peaked way too early in the tournament.

But as long as Clarke keeps his run of form into the end of the year, then I don't mind.

Recent bowling figures of mine

T20

3overs - 6 runs - 2 wickets

45 League

10 overs - 29 Runs - 4 wickets --- My last over the 44th, they need 20 to win, I bowled a double wicket maiden, hahaha yorker yorker yorker yorker

Lovin them yorkers, nothing's sweeter than beating the batsman all ends up with one.

A few years back I got so pissed off with yorkers and full balls generally that I decided to take guard a metre outside the crease. Smashed the first two over his head (which is easily the best shot one can play, makes you feel good), missed the next one, left the next one, nicked the next one.

Was fun.

Hey! Good on him. Might be the first Muslim to play for Australia. From what I've heard, a very good player.

Well played Eng yesterday vs Strayer, Owain Morgan (how ever you spell it) played some wicked shots.  The next ODI is in Cardiff tomorrow, Im making a few last minute signs for it, the footy club are charging £10 per car to park and ride, scammers.

I love smashing batsmen on the toes with a full yorker, see the cunt hoping around on one foot doing the yorker dance as he walks off toward square leg umpire.

Great to finish on exactly 800.

edit: speaking of thumpings

our batting is atrocious.

nah our batting has been prone to collapses for about two years now. getting more commonplace. would be more often if our only two really consistent bats weren't performing (katich, who is slater-like in his inability to reach three figures and even worse in getting beyond about 110 + clarke, who is an absolutely brilliant player but suffers from, er, brainsnaps)
