wow
lolling
at all the people taking the warmups seriously
I don’t like throwing the word “cheating” around, even here, but…
…mind you, it’s more funny than offensive. On par with Afridi having a quick supper on-field. Boggles the mind to think a professional sportsman could possibly think he could get away with it. Quite hilarious, personally.
weirdest game of cricket ever
and possibly the most “that’s just not cricket” moment ever, too. leaves underarm and the rest faaaaaaaaaaaar behind.
Patrick Cummins.
17 years old, 145kmh+, good action, good brain.
Watch out for this kid, he could be something seriously special. Three or four FC seasons under this belt and we could have quite something.
pup
is back
hopefully stays this time
Unbelievable Umpiring by Ian Gould
Brilliant cricket all round, Steyn must be terrifying to face.
If someone could tell me how you begin to play bowling like this, they’d be the next Don Bradman

just sayin’

it makes me so happy, whatever mood i’m in beforehand~~~such beauty
Michael Clarke
I’m angry.
I’m angry at him. Furious.
Furious for hardly making a run throughout a series where everyone thought he would.
Furious for constantly looking loose outside off stump.
Furious for playing some terrible, terrible, terrible shots throughout the series (deserves to be slapped for the shot he played first dig at Perth).
Apocalyptic at getting out in the last over of the day again to “the original pie-chucker” to the most harmless of balls, cutting of what should have been a match-saving century.
But…
He’s still my favourite player to watch by a mile, and some of the shots he played today were vintage, sparkling Clarke, rather than timid, confused Clarke. So when he gets out to what can only be described to a king of a ball (Anderson’s bowled a few of them this summer…)
And then screams “FUCK OFF”
It does rather hurt.

their tracks all sound kind of same-y. strings/horns playing a simple, not-very-strongly-harmonized melody at an extremely slow (like, one note every five seconds) tempo, in one of any major keys. yet i love it. i absolutely adore it. it actually has an emotional impact on me. i don’t know why. it shouldn’t. music usually doesn’t. but it does. i’ll keep listening. and loving it. the tired sounds of.
you know what’s much much much worse than our cricket team?
some of our cricket fans.
saw this tonight:
who would the team be?
(not batting order.)
shane watson
cameron white (C)
james hopes
mitchel johnson
steve smith
steve o’keefe
andrew mcdonald
Tim Paine
Moses Henriques
Callum Ferguson
josh hazelwood (not allrounder but top prospect)
12th man? you decide
At least Watson and Johnson are in there… beyond that, it’s hard to actually find anything good about this.
I will say one thing - Cameron White. Probably unlucky not to have been picked for a while now (North and now Smith getting the gig instead). But if people honestly think that he would be any better as a batsmen then any of the top 5 then they need a head examination. Ponting lasted about 40 balls yesterday, Clarke about 50. White with his technique would’ve lasted about 10. Or 5. Depends how long it took Anderson to pitch one on the stumps and move it in, which based on yesterday, wouldn’t have been long.
I’d like to say the above is isolated, but it really isn’t. It’s the latest in many many many outpourings of utter tripe I’ve seen in the last two months or so
