bfore anybody emplores me to DAFSFFS, this is the only official thread sanctioned by cricket australia, none of it will be appearing on ebay and people may only post after joining the 'Australian m+n cricket family'.
so come one, come all, post your predictions, rants, news, interesting things.
also, feel free to have a go at me if you hate sport and feel it should stay off this forum, i understand but i'm catering for an audience here. call mke any name you want.
anywho, i though i might get things going by stating that i think steve waugh is wrong with katich, and i dont think he has any further potential in either the one day OR the test teams.
DAFSFFS
like i said angelic, this is the OFFICIAL thread!
I think Clarkey has more potential than Katich. Clarkey for next captain.
i have a tv in my office at work. bring it the hell on
Oh god cricket, the worlds most boring game
welcome to complain lee, go right ahead! no jews for you here though.
God damn this is a shitty sport played by bogans i have no respect for.
I still want a talking boonie.
and clarke has a large amount more potential then katich, whether he should be captain next, i'm not so sure.
Katich is a hack.
thats highly hypocritical of you topher, and quite a misguided comment. i will defend the status of cricket as a purely upper class sport that has been despoiled by working class hooligans over the years. and boonie was one of them!
Ian Chappell saved the game.
Clarke's going to be a great player. but he's not a captain; very much a follower, not a leader.
Clarke is a hack too.. He rim licks Ponting.
just because i like the idea of the talking boonie, doesn't mean i respect him
my original comment stands..
cricket is boring, the national team are bogans
bring on the talking botham
i beg to differ topher!! we have warnie, symonds, clarke. oh, wait.....
they do, however, play good cricket.
not everyone can be Gower.
someone has to carry the gear, pack the bus, thats what the bogans do..and whos going to field at fine leg?
A bogan thats who...
Us slippers know the way things stand.
not good enough cricket though
our team is at a low point
VERY LOW
we have NO schtick in our side, no 'word' no 'pawnage'
I mean Clarke? WHAT A BABY..
WHO'S OUR BOWLERS
LILLIE THOMMO HOGG WALKER?
20/20 (whilst an abomination in the eyes of cricket fans) is at least palatable. watching bogans slog sixes all over the place is more fun that watching them stand there for 5 days.
getting beaten by english yobs made the last ashes even more painful.
still i leave this thread for the fans discussion....

yeah thats fine you guys are cultured.........just listen to the barney army.

apologies if brett lee's music video clip is already somewhere above.
I have dial-up and have only watched the start.....maybe it gets better
so err, twenty20 tonight? or do we not talk about it.
lee and johnston out, harwood and hope into the squad.
on tv?
tip'n'run...
think I'll go and watch a band instead.
7:30 tp 10:30 channel 9..
I dunno I'll watch it.
i'm going to this tonight - freebie from the boss.
doesn't mean i like the game.
as if lee and johnson are actually that sick - i bet they just can't be bothered.
Harwood and Hopes? An unexpected & nice surprise. Harwoods about 30 already, and has been great for the Vics, i never thought he'd be selected for international duties despite being one of the best quicks in the state competition for about 4/5 years now. So that's good for him. Hopes is pretty decent aswell, very similar to Ian Harvey, lots of variations of slower balls and can use the willow, again he's also about 30.
While these are good selections, you reckon they would have given some kids ago?
reckon johnston would play if he could.
thing is, selection in this game really doesnt mean much, its just hit and giggle really. but i guess some exposure is better then none.
its something..only thing I have against 20/20 is that its over too soon..
maybe it should be 20 players a side for 40 overs of slogging.
Ashes Urn Exhibition
A reminder that the Travelex Ashes Exhibition, featuring the Ashes Urn and some stunning Ashes-related artefacts from the Marylebone and Melbourne Cricket Club collections, will be open between 9am and 9pm daily until Sunday in the MCC Museum.
More details
In latest news Ponting says he is aiming to shatter the world record total against England in this tournament, and Hayden denies punch-up with Martyn.
He's the ODI lineup
Michael Clarke has moved up to 4 in Martyn's abscense which i think is more suited to his style of play. Still not sure why Shaun Tait isn't being considered for ODI selection.
the ashes are over.
