They need to get 230 in 2 sessions tomorrow, plus bat for one hour after tea, then put us in with a lead of around 360+ . We can't win at that point but will they get us out? It's a 50/50 bet.Quote:

Right, I want you to go for a beer/pie/ wee every ten minutes in the session.
That should have them all out by lunch. Then remain transfixed for the rest of the day when Australia is batting.
Cheers,

Righto then captain :DQuote:

Bloody umpires, rain stops, skies lighten and the players take to the field FORTYFIVE minutes later. Just in time for the next shower. :mad:
Oh well, at least it was a freebie. :rolleyes:
I couldn't stand it any more :oQuote:

109 off 37.5 with 9 in hand.
A shoo in I'd reckon.

Some clown just came in & asked is Symonds was batting yet. :D

How many of you are sitting in your office and are suppose to do work right now?
What a pack of bludgers.:D
Just said on the radio that they got an SMS to say it was raining near by.
The radar is showing light rain in Sydney now. :(
I'm about 3k from the ground.Quote:

Not sure but 100 in each innings in his 100th Test in Sydney on Thursday around 4pm. He is definitely the only one.Quote:

100 in each innings of the 100th test has never been done before. In fact, of the 7 or so players who have made 100 in their 100th test, only Inzamam got to bat a second time and he made 31 not out.
jaques rudolhp is to spin bowling what criss tarrant is to footy... both masters of their craft:rolleyes:
Like Gumby says, he's a hack.Quote:

Don't get carried away here.
They declared - TWICE !
If they hadn't, we would have been playing for a draw. Also, they lost 2 sessions yesterday due to the weather. Again, if that hadn't happened, they could not have lost and maybe we would have struggled to chase down 450! That kind of pressure changes this dramatically.
Notice how it's the off spinners who are being called for chucking. Thay have to bend and straighten the arm to get enough turn on the ball, unlike the leggies.
Full marks to them I say for at least attempting the win.Quote:

I think we just have to accept that Australia has come back to the field somewhat since the Waugh's retired.
This is not a bad thing either. I don't think I am the only one who was getting a tad sick of one sided contests.
