Watto lotto on hold tonight due to injury.  Should we have a crack at Maxwell?  Maybe nominate the stupid shot he will get out on.
How about the number of superlatives that one james brayshaw uses when he's batting. ?
I reckon 6pm

Or not shot offered & he watches it rattle the stumps

Yeah and no. Certainly like to see a team like India get humiliated  >:D

But you can't beat the games that have the Jimmy Faulkner finishes like the Gabba last season.

x2, timed to perfection by Smith, with Haddin playing an outstanding cameo, not bad for an old fella :)

Haden still not striking the ball smoothly unfortunately . The other thing I thought was that solid support role was perfect for smith. Seen him lose his wicket a few times this year when he decides to go after every ball but if he lays his natural game WOW

I dont normally watch the BBL (just not a 20/20 fan) but what did occur to me is how much of a shame it is to have some of the best cricketers Australia has ever produced, (ie; Ponting, Waugh, Gilchrist & Flemming) relegated to commentating on what is nothing more than novelty fund raising, whilst we have to put up with the $hit commentary from channel 9.
I love cricket bur with the abc getting rid of the premium commentators in recent years & the duds on 9 i might hafta start watching tennis

So I guess the crickets off for tonight?

I'd like to see AU have to come out and chase 69 for 16 overs :-)

Another dumb decision by CA to take the Aus Day match from Adelaide and give it to Sydney.  Apart from the weather, which was perfect yesterday in Adl, we would have had over 50,000 at that game!  What was the crowd number before rain stopped play?

If they were playing the poms they might have played in SA, but you'd reckon that the BCCI would set the venues for their games so that they get the surface they want. Reckon the WACA was hard done by because India don't like fast bowlers tracks...

Rumour is in overdrive about that now. Talk his been set up to fail with the date, also players are happy under smith. Time will tell but you couldn't lay money on Clarke being around for long with that degenerative back issue.

You can see that they are happy under Smith - but he ISNT good with the media - actually hes shocking. looks like a deer in the headlights.... bad thing in modern times.



as for cluck, 4 FULL games in the shield to prove himself, then if he doesn't break, he can come back as a 12th man.

Bit of media coaching and he'll be right.  Might be a pleasant suprise to have a quiet unassuming cricket captain for a while ?

Wow cricket pays, wonder how the old school feel?

The The six-bedroom, five-bathroom, three-level mansion reportedly cost Warner and his fiancee Candice Falzon $6.5 million last year. It was made famous two years earlier as the set for the UK reality TV show Geordie Shore.
