The Aussies are hopeless in dead rubbers and Bergy the little master Tendulkar is even in the twilight of his wonderful career a sublime batsmen.

Dunno about that. We won the 3rd Test in Sydney this summer didn't we?

yeah true Shell. It just seems that after we win a series we can't get ourselves motivated as much. We truly are getting whipped in this match

I think you're right on that one. I'm holding out for a draw personally, then we've still won the whole 6 Test series contest 3-2. :wink:

Well the Aussies did lose just as well we have Mitchell Johnson his electrifying innings of 123 not out proved once and for all we have a new superstar all-rounder.

And the contest wrapped up 3-3...VERY disappointing to lose in such spectacular fashion, but the one shining light from the Test is indeed Mitchell Johnson. YAYNESS that he FINALLY got that century, no need to look for an all-rounder now, he has got the goods methinks.

NZ doing really well in 2nd test

Jesse Ryder hit 201 and McCullum got a 100 as well

Sachin and Dravid in at the moment

IPL is in South Africa now - i wanted it in england as i would have gone to some games

Eng lost 2nd ODI to Windies so 1-1 now - 3rd one is today

Looks like India got test series rapped up

NZ on the ropes in Wellington, already 1 down

Bugger....

Well, we lost both of our 20/20 matches, but we're 1-0 up in the 1 day series after winning in Durban on Friday. We're playing again today in Pretoria, hope we can beat SA again.

No. West Indies.

And we suck yet again...bowled out for 131! At one stage we were 6-46. How the hell could we go from thrashing South Africa on Friday night to fall apart completely on Sunday is beyond me.

I think Michael Clarke needs to be dropped. He's not scoring at all in the one-day/20-20 arena, we need people in our side who can do that job and he's just not up to it right now.

Damn another Aussie loss in the one dayers. South Africa deserve their ranking in the ODI. Not sure about dropping Clarke Shell who do you think is capable of replacing him ?

well done Aussies mmm still I am starting to wonder about the relevance of One Day cricket. Bring on the Ashes.

GO THE NETHERLANDS!!!! :lol:

Oh and I hope Andrew Symonds does lose his contract with Cricket Australia and doesn't come back to the international cricketing arena, the guy's got a serious problem with alcohol and can't keep getting chances to redeem himself. He's got a problem with discipline & authority and appears to be in denial methinks. I think if that were to happen, it might cause him to have a good long hard think to himself...but of course, CA are weaklings and it wouldn't surprise me if he did get another chance, just based on the fact that he's a great all-rounder and that's one thing our side has struggled with. :roll:

by **skapunk** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 8:45 am

I want India to get this one again!

Go Indiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

by **android** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 8:51 am

Nice to see you back Shell and hehehe well done to the Dutch. As for Andrew Symonds me thinks he be finished might play a bit of IPL or the rebel indian league that be about it.

I didn't get you. IPL is already over. And he played in some matches too.
