    Socceroos and Australian Football

    They would want to be paying him a crazy amount of money for him to move to Italy. Viduka is semi retired from the national team because he has a young family and the travel to and from Australia was too much for him. Given that, it is difficult to see him uprooting the wife and kids and going...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series

    It was George Bailey (and Di Venuto) facing Voges, he hit two sixes from the first three balls of the next over as well for a personal total of 6 sixes in 8 balls! Insane hitting. I often wonder why Bailey has failed to get any national recognition as a "next in line", he has scored just as...

    ***Official*** 5th Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground

    Collingwood scored runs in Adelaide as well but I wouldn't call him a good batsman. Ditto Symonds in Melbourne. Langer, Hayden and Gilchrist are all flakey these days. Clarke needs a dormant pitch to make runs. A bit of swing and bounce from the quicks and he is largely irrelevant.

    ***Official*** 5th Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground

    Michael Clarke is such a soft ****. We have two good batsman at the moment - bring on the next generation.

    ***Official*** 5th Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground

    Two batsman out to rubbish balls and a good run out. 500 a bit ambitious now. Game on.

    ***Official*** 5th Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground

    Adelaide second innings is etched into my mind more than that. It's a big difference facing an Australian attack smelling blood, with a new ball, than their Indian counterparts. Flintoff did ok with the tail but they still didn't make the 300. Australia will be looking at 500 IMO considering all...

    ***Official*** 5th Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground

    Given how dire Collingwood is at batting with the tail you would have to say England's fate rests with Flintoff, if he goes early they won't make 300.

    Damien Who indeed (a mates name for Martyn). Langer will be missed more than him. In saying that, if Bell and Collingwood can average 45 + at test level Australia shouldn't have too much trouble finding replacements to do the same!

    A fair few runs were also scored in the NZ series where Johnson debuted.

    *Official* English Football Season 2006-07

    Reading 4-0 up in the 36th minute. Curbs the messiah not quite living up to the expectations post Pardew! The V-Bomber just scored against Sheff United too - the man loves a relegation battle.

    *Official* Australia in decline thread

    I think you have that the wrong way around regarding the bowling. Unless the pitches in Australia are juiced up a bit post Warne and McGrath we will struggle to bowl sides out at home more than away, save for the subcontinent. Pitches in England, New Zealand and South Africa are usually a lot...

    Merry Christmas Sicilian style. Palermo director gets Mafia-style goat's head warning ROME, Dec 31 (Reuters) - The sporting director of Sicilian Serie A side Palermo has received a Mafia-style warning after a run of poor results - a severed goat's head in the post. The gory gift, reminiscent...

    I was messing around on youtube and thought I would put together a top 10 of Australian goals in 2006 - what have I missed? 1. Nick Carle v. Adelaide United - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ43XbTFhYc The Adelaide players part like the red sea but I love it anyway. Carle wins the contested...

    Buchanan: "KP not a team player"

    The Englishman on here sure are wound up tight. There are a few deadbeats floating around at the moment but Sideshowtim is a reasonable poster and hasn't said anything completely unreasonable in this thread, you are just laying into him over semantics. Buchanan was asked about it at a press...

    Will Shane Warne make a comeback post retirement ?

    2 seasons at Hampshire takes him up to the start of the next ashes series in England if he is keen....:D

    Tait or Johnson?

    As Matt has pointed out above it is reasonable enough when McGrath is left out of the reckoning (also taking into account the more batsman friendly tracks). Bowling averages for the medium to long term Australian quicks from the last decade or so. McGrath (21.68), Fleming (25.89), Gillespie...

    7-372 on the board and only three batsman in double figures. All hail Hayden and Symonds :)

    ***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

    It's good to see Symonds make a ton, I don't think there would be anyone in Australia that dislikes him personally, but let's not go overboard on the back of one innings. Heh. Hoggard was confident with that shout!

    *Official* Australian Domestic Season Thread

    I just noticed on the cricket show that Krejza has moved down this way - interesting decision. Is he good enough to bat at #6? In the FC side Tassie play 4 quicks and have Hilfenhaus, Griffith, a fit again Wright after 12 months on the sidelines, Drew and Geeves to fit into the 4 bowling spots...
