    The Aamer Situation

    Can't see how point 3 comes into it at all. Extending that rationale the other way, does that mean that it should be a more serious issue to murder a talented young sportsman than it is to murder a mediocre kid, because the former has lost 'more'. Regarding the second point, a life ban is not...

    ***Official*** Spot-Fixing Scandal

    How is it poor journalism? Did they trick him into saying these things? The guy was happy to come clean over the dinner table, motivated by bitterness more than anything else, and is now trying to deny ever saying this, despite being on video. It's bloody good investigative journalism...

    Blues will be chillin' by the pool in Bali in two weeks.

    A.F.L. Thread II

    Loving this weekend of footy so far. If Carlton lose tomorrow, everything will have gone exactly how I would have hoped. So funny tonight, was sitting in a predominantly Bulldogs patch of the crowd, and the transition from them ripping into the umpires and being all bullish to hanging **** on...

    A.F.L. Thread II

    But the club as an entity existed before the VFL/AFL did. Best sticking to stuff you know about Burgey.

    Halftime at the ground. Kinda aroused everytime Leigh Brown goes near it.

    ***Official*** Spot-Fixing Scandal

    That's the horrible thing about this situation. We do know, or at least thought we knew, that Pakistan were a team capable of completely imploding on the field. But now you wonder every time whether they were genuinely that poor on a given day, or whether there was something else going on.

    *Official* Australia in India 2010

    With Hughes and Smith, they already have two spare batsmen. It's only a two test series, they're unlikely to exhaust that many options.

    What Does This Sign Mean!?!?

    I ****ing hate it. **** off with you.

    Bollinger is better than Lee ever was, one or two series aside. Hauritz is a proper spin bowler, unlike the prank selection of White as a specialist spinner. Katich and Watson have established themselves as the best opening pair in the world atm (pair mind you, obviously Sehwag is the best...

    *Official* Australia in India 2010

    Like in 2004? We were horrible in 2008, but that was the nadir of our team following some big retirements. We're a much better unit than we were then. This is a much better team than the one that toured in 2008.

    *Official* Australia in India 2010

    England is a venue more helpful to Pakistan than us, given their bowling attack's strengths compared to ours, and specifically Johnson's problems bowling there. Can't see how you can say we're not 'strong' in the sense that is required for world cricket when we play out good tests against...

    *Official* Australia in India 2010

    :confused: Even at our current level we're a "strong" team, in that we would and have been competitive against everyone we've played. A weird comment given the bemoaning of the dominance through most of this decade. Unless you're being sarcastic...

    KP dropped ; vents anger on twitter

    Yeah, ok, it's good seeing that stung him that he's been dropped - would be much better if there was some sense from him that it was a reasonable decision given his recent performances and that it was now placed back on him to regain some form, rather than simply bitching that it's a ****ed...

    Test Cricket Teams Needed - Apply Within

    Of course if we followed this logic, England would have been stripped of test status sometime around 95
