Yeh right. I don't think you can say those kind of things anymore..God is an Englishman wrote:Bomber wrote:No, what did he say?God is an Englishman wrote:Did anyone else hear Greg Matthews commentating today, I think he could be in a lot of trouble.
They were talking about the light and he said along the lines of:
"I can remember batting in the west indies and we were playing at about 7pm. It was so dark we only knew the bowler was running in was because of their eyes and teeth."

Michael Clarke off the field - some guy I've never heard of fielding as Shaun Marsh was sent back to his state side.
I remember when England did this in 05 and australia moaned and moaned about not using the "official" 12th man.

Clarke back on now, siddle off. Players going off for "comfort breaks". Remember a certain australian captain complaining that England were doing this.

Typical convict though, claim it's whingeing. You're experts at it, so I guess you'd know.

Matthews is a bit of a chardonnay anyway.

I know Australia have done it in the past before as well.
Picked up some local Tasmanian kid to field while a couple of players were off injured.
I don't see an issue with it if players are actually injured.

Re: Aus v India - test series
You didnt ask a question though. All I see is a series of whinges. And the original convicts (remember where they came from) invented it, hence the commonly known term, "pommy whingers."God is an Englishman wrote:BPBC wrote:Do you ever quit whingeing?

So why was Clarke off the field?

Re: Aus v India - test series
With the 2 shockers India have had today, will they start to think about DRS and allowing it.
Meanwhile, has Lyon been having appealing lessons from the drug cheat.

Re: Aus v India - test series
Oh and day 5, warm day, on a weekend all 4 results up for grabs so what's the cons excuse for such a piss poor crowd.
Clarke having a sub fielder on the field, why was that allowed?

Re: Aus v India - test series
I got home from work with India having five wickets in hand. All four possible outcomes looked a possibility at the time but looks like it's going to be an Aussie win now.
How on earth did this happen?

408 was Phil Hughes Australian Test Representative number...

Re: Aus v India - test series
Also, if you add 40+8 you get 48, the number of runs Australia won by and the game finished on the 13th. and Phil Hughes was named 13th man for the Test.swannsong wrote:Isn't it !Funky Punk wrote:I got home from work with India having five wickets in hand.

Fantastic final session which credit has to go to India for. Didn't even try to shut up shop and take the draw.
Re: Aus v India - test series
India were very good on that final day. Their decision to go for the win and not play for a draw made for exciting viewing.
At one stage it looked like they were going to win too, but Nathan Lyon bowled fantastically.
