because its bred into me. I was named after a cricketer who that summer had done well against the aussies, my dad's an umpire, my brothers cricket mad & I just am too, I have no idea why, but if you think we're bad now, you've not seen anything. I remember days of us being terrible & way behind other teams in the world. Plus we remember last time where we got a hiding & went on to win, I'm sure sid still does remember his 5-0 rant.
oh, and the humour. have seen some great moments. Eng vs Aus & Eng vs West Indies have been most of them. I love how people can drink all day & laugh their heads off, or like what just happened, billy bowden got floored by a sweep shot.
Test match cricket on tv is on par with golf.

Test Cricket is the epitomy of civilalised society.
Its all about stratergies and planning, the personal battles, the small victories and the individual triumphs. The end result is only half of it.

Well done guys, this is more like it. Apart from Strauss hitting out and a shame Flintoff went cheaply.
Pieterson is the key for us to batting all day to save the test match and getting a draw.

watched a fair bit of it today - and yeah we are flogging em right now - but i tend to agree with some of the commentators 'undercooked' theory - 2 warmup games is not enough.
things might be a bit different in the next couple of tests now a few of the poms have settled into the conditions a bit.

5th day pitch is taking control now. McGrath couldn't have got less bounce if he threw the cricket ball 30ft into the air on a beach of thick sand...
and a good thought for the day in a blog about cricket australia being a nuisance...

| Great concern this summer attended the arrival of the Barmy Army, whose songs, chants and general bonhomie, it was feared, would drown out Australian fans, and render Tests inhospitable � or, at least, interfere with time-honoured parochialism and partisanship which Aussies regard as the natural state of things. In fact, both the Army and their antipodean rivals have here been kept well and truly under a pretty coarse thumb by the police, administering the Killjoy Act with the help of CCTV. Only Pat Buchanan is more hostile to the Mexican wave than the potentates of the Gabba. Yet Cricket Australia is poorly placed to be pointing the finger at anyone � it is looming as a far more exasperating noise polluter than any group of fans. Those at home moaning about the ad breaks and Greig-o-grams on Channel Nine are actually getting off lightly; I have hardly known a noisier Test match. Even the first morning, when one might have expected a breathless hush in the close, was punctuated by deafening advertisements and pointless announcements on the public address system. No cricketer on the field has been celebrated so lustily as �the lovely Sheree and her team from 3�, the corporate nymphs and dryads distributing the main sponsor's bounty, while the loudest voices have been of Talking Boony, Talking Beefy and Talking Bollocks � the bonehead at the microphone who lets us in to such milestones as Ricky Ponting�s 9000th Test run, of which he informed the fact-starved masses in the middle of an over on the third afternoon. Pop songs begin playing at 8am every day � or to be precise, they�ve been playing when I�ve arrived at that time, and they may well be on an endless 24-hour loop, deafening the cleaners as well. At various intervals, the crowd has also been serenaded by the troubadour Greg Champion. His rendition of a puerile anti-Pom jingle to the tune of The Lion Sleeps Tonight � �They whinge away, they whinge away, they whinge away, they whinge away, they whinge away, they whinge away (repeat * 445) � at least drew an apology from Queensland Cricket�s CEO Graham Dixon. The rest of it has been beyond sorry, and into the realm of unforgivable. How badly does Australia cricket need the cash, that they should be have surrendered their temple to the money-lenders? Before the Test, patrons were invited to report to the authorities anyone noisy and uncouth enough to interfere with the enjoyment of others. The trouble is that, at the Gabba, the authorities have been noisiest and uncouth of all. Is it too late for me to dob in Cricket Australia? |
All over red rover. Aussies chalk up a victory but the poms played well that second innings. Their batting showed some promise but the bowling leaves a lot to be desired. Im sure they will lift for adelaide though.
Hopefully the australian selectors don't drop Clark.. he played a top match! If any quick should be dropped my vote would go to Lee. Give him some time to play with his new baby cos he does nothing with the new ball.
totally agree on that point ian.
it used to be only the one-dayers, with the music etc, now its got into the tests.
to quote shooter mcgavin from happy gilmore "Damn you people. This is golf. Not a rock concert."
