As an aside, anyone else think Symonds should at least get a stern talking to for saying "Nah, bull****" when he got the umpire's reply to his question about an early LBW shout? The match referee really shouldn't let that one slide - particularly when it was caught by the microphones.

 

[GIMH]

Hah, that's harsh. A typical Hussey innings, to me, is one where as a fan of the opposing team you decide to take the dog for a walk after he's faced three balls because you're certain he won't give the slightest chance.

Completely agree. You get all excited as the wickets fall, then after the 4th has fallen (i think he was at six today?) you realise, that's it.

Yup, but don't hold your breath.

I thought it was a possibility. I commented at the time that it'd be more trouble if he'd said it to the international umpire and not Harper. That said, he's a Queenslander at the Gabba, the infants use more obscenity.

Oram back and possibly Mills too.

 

[Slow Love™]

Oram is 198cm or 6ft 6. Trimblett is 6ft 7 according to Cricinfo. Fulton's nickname is 2 metre Peter so he might be close

Though we may not want to think about it, it's possible that his nickname has little to do with how tall he is.

Gotta love Hussey for his post-match comments. I usually hate all Aussies, but I love Hussey for some reason, great interview.

Bracken`s ODI average falls under 20 again. His next match will be his 50th. Gunnest bloke.

Hussey is the next Chuck Norris

Whilst Fighting with Wolverine, Micheal Hussey had his right testicle sliced off with such force, it flew into outer space. That Testicle is now known as Jupiter

Fulton isn't quite 2 metres - according to a New Zealand Cricket Publication he is shorter than Oram who hovers around the 198cm/2 metre area (seems to change quite often between the 2). Why don't we just line them all up and work it out that way.

 

[Fiery]

Why did you ask here then if you were just going to go to Cricinfo to find the answer anyway?

Didn't think Cricinfo would have heights at the time. Sorry if I ruined your life Voltman

 

[Smudge]

My Friday night was positively rocking until then.

 

[Fiery]

Mine was so rocking I had to find out who the tallest cricketer in the world was

 

[Smudge]

And now it's pouring with rain today and I've got nothing to cover for work.

yeah i was a little surprised how well that came through on Ch9. Im doubting anything will come of it. The worst part ofcourse is that a young kid who has seen it might copy him if he gets a decision he doesn't like and think he shouldn't get punished for it.

 

[age_master]

Like the look of Tremlett.

My mate thought he looked abit like a robot when he was bowling.

 

[age_master]

I thought Anderson bowled really well last night, hes been improving in form in the last few games, he looks like he needs an early wicket to get him going though - it was amazing how much more dangerous he looked last night after he got his first wicket.

Good to see Jimmy and Mal, my boys from Lancs, doing well. As for Freddie...meh. He aint right physically at all right now.

Oh and btw, Mal Loye is top class - he'll show you, you'll see!

Yeah, his ball that he got White with was one of the balls of the summer I reckon. Not much comment on the Hussey non-dismisal from you Aussies I've noticed. England probably would have won that game if Hussey was given out or walked when he nicked one on 19. He would have known he had hit it so could have walked but chose not to. I guess he would have known they would lose if he walked so I don't really blame him. I blame administrators for not allowing umpires the use of technology like Snicko and Heat-seeker.
