Crikey it's the Cricket Thread

Did yous watch the allstars games?
I reckon some of them could still play unless their arthritis is affecting them.

SUCH IS LIFE....

Yeah I did watch the all stars games. Certainly entertaining. Favoured the bat with those short boundaries. Commentators were pointing out that the fast bowlers (Ambrose, McGrath) were at a disadvantage because their trade requires the highest level of fitness. The slower bowlers such as Swann and Vettori were still quite successful in their endeavours. Super impressive watching Symonds, Hayden, Sangakara, Kallis smack the bejesus out of the ball. Some of them have still got it.

Dan Vettori could easily have played in Brisbane than current spinner Mark Craig "The Baker" with all the pies he was chuckin' down.

Had a great time at the Test, Khawaja's hundred was beautiful does it so easy, Joe Burns bringing up his maiden hundred with a six was mad actually it was 2 sixes in a row he was on 88 then hit two sixes to the same spot in a row. Awesome

That Kane Williamson is a fair bat though never troubled.

One of the boys has tickets to the Adelaide Test but couldn't find any hotels ended up booking a cabin in a caravan park for $200.00 a night. Airfares $600.00 return from Melbourne booked before the Brisbane Test. That game will be sold out.

Shame that khawaja is injured. He was getting some runs under his belt.

Sayonara Mitchell Johnson. Awesome when he had the fire in the belly. Hopefully Cummins, Pattinson or Bjhersdorf will step up to fill the hole.

Adelaide test will be the first day night test. We'll see how the pink ball goes.

Beat me to it. Yes, the NBA in particular has caused the downfall of the Windies.

Kinda sad cause they were once a powerhouse right up till Brian Lara debuted and then after that it went down hill....

The last game with nz vs aus, I kinda knew that the kiwi team was up there with the aussie side but unfortunately they lost, and now they have shown that they can match it with aussie like never before, this kiwi outfit has got more talent than when vettori, mcullen, astle and co were playing.

Well aussie strikes back.
