[Prince EWS]

Warne making a good point. Will wonders never cease?

Oh shut up Shane.

Conflicting reports here.

Oh shut up Shane.

That's no way to talk about the ex

The bowling in this side is still good though; will ensure it stays mid-table at worst.

I'd still give the worst to some 80s sides. Also this England side is better than England sides of the 80s as well.

 

[hendrix]

It's not ****ing the Australian way to leave the ****ing ball, jesus stfu.

 

[Ausage]

I guess m the only one on Cricketweb who supports Mitchell Johnson

Where's the dislike button

Been meaning to buy Skull's book, is it worth it?

Got a flight to the states next month. Going to read one of:

1. Damien Flemings book
2. Pontings book
3. Skulls book

 

[Riggins]

Does the tea need to be warm? When you go for a run do you come home and put the kettle on?

Or are you allowed to drink water also?

Water also. It actually might be killing me.

 

[Top_Cat]

Cricinfo suggesting that Bell-Enderson was shaping up for some reverse tang last over. Has now been replaced by Tremlett. Interesting move.

Yeah, conservative captaincy. Seems like it's a way to get Tremlett back into the groove in favourable circumstances ahead of the 2nd nurry but geez, get the ****s out of there I reckon.

 

[benchmark00]

Or Steve Waughs book.

If you like Skull then you'll love his book. It's great.

 

[heathrf1974]

Yeah this is spot on. Australia, India and Pakistan are very much in the upper mid range of sides at the moment who will beat each other at home and lose away.

I will be interested to see how this new Indian team go against SA if the test series goes ahead. SA should win, but India may be competitive, we'll see I guess.

Feels like I've already read Ponting's book in the SMH tbh.

Who doesn't like him?

 

[Prince EWS]

If you like Skull then you'll love his book. It's great.

Expanding on this, I think anyone who hates Ian Chappell would also enjoy Skull's book.

 

[Top_Cat]

How can you not like Skull?

 

[Maximas]

a soda makes the classic catches segment. I guess we'll have to wait for a Mcgrath commentary stint before we see his catch

 

[Riggins]

Gibbs' book is interesting, just talks about getting blind and picking up chicks the whole time.

 

[Top_Cat]

Yeah see, the English are letting the Aussie ****s drift past 200 here when they should have been trying to roll them.
