And it's not even the knee he had surgery on right? I remember reading something in the livescores about him favouring and stretching the other one. Unlucky.

Got home in time to catch the last few overs, and it was great, sorry to see it come down to only the SECOND last ball hehe - Even if they are playing off for second

Fuck England suck

150 odd, terrible

[Fadingtoblack]

Pretty poor effort that from the Poms.


We got a bonus point too

Sweet, I was shitting myself for a while...

How good (arsey) was that run-out by White!

It was an awesome throw, backwards lying down!

But really it was more how dumb were the English batsman?
It was behind him so it was the NON-STRIKERS call - Bell should have just run - and then they're both just screwing around as neither of them wanted to run all the way back to the bowlers end to be run out.

Of course geniuses as they are they were doing this a metre outside the crease - idiots.

Kiwis will get better in teh CB series now that few of our injured players are back. Plus Vincent will do well on Aussie pitchews unlike Astle so glad he is in. All i can say is look out in the finals!

Anyways check this out, funny 12th Man fan video with ashes clips put in. Good times! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6w91jfLEgA

Thanks for the link, I'll have to check it out!


And today, just when you thought the Poms couldn't get any worse, a totally embarrassing collapse for 110. Shithouse


Are we're probably going to get that in under 20 overs!!!

[Leighton]

Should've given the Poms an extra innings.

[Bleeding Me]

They should have sent the Poms home after the Test Series, because they are clearly not trying. Or are they? They couldn't be! Let's hope the Kiwis make the final, at least they show some ticker.

Coming into the World Cup we were probably better off having Aus A part of the tri-series. At least we would have some resistance and got a look at every player coming into it. Plus 'The Hilf' would have got a better chance to show his wares. Mind you I'm happy he's playing domestic cricket for us at the moment, sitting atop the Pura Cup table.

[ragekornbizkit]

Hilfenhaus does look a good player Bleeding Me. I still think us Kiwis will run you boys close in the finals (we have to make that surely). Playing an Australia A team would be backewards thinking bearing in mind we still ahve a couple of players coming back into the squad.
P.S whats with Mitchell Johnson sure he is bowling well and is quick but he stops at the poi nt of delivery, surely he could get another 10k out of his action.

Hopefully Shane Bond can run you aussies over tonight now that he is 'back ' and out top order can get some badly needed runs
