Please, not Clark again. :mad:
Bring back Lillie I say.
No, you wouldn't like that. He's a sportsman with an ego. :rolleyes:Quote:

I'm sorry but I have to say it and this is as inappropriate a place as any - I miss Swervin' Mervin :(
Is it just me or is modern cricket lacking in those on field characters?

I don't like any test players named Clark ;)Quote:

Watson is out and Clarke is filling the no.6.Quote:

So the final bowling position is between Clark (no e) and Johnson.
Maybe they should pick Johnstone. :DQuote:

I made no mention of Clarke (with an E - that was decided last week)
If Watson was in, then I was saying they wouldn't pick Clark (no frickin E) because they have the luxury of a fifth bowler and I reckon would have gone for either Tait (who wouldn't have been let go today) or Johnson
:D
Or for the linguistically challenged - One watson out, two clarks in
I heard Tait is in, playing this Saturday night for the Kangaroos.:p
Is Johnson deemed too much of a tearaway, like Lee was when he first appeared? At least I haven't heard him boast that all he wants to do is break the 160kmh mark.
Roll on tomorrow... and this isn't a bad site if you're stuck at the desk:D

Cheers,
Pictures of Lillie. Great song! But what's it got to do with cricket :confused:Quote:
Bring back Lillie I say
Clarke (with a frickin E) is a better bowler than he his a batsman. :rolleyes:Quote:

Not sure, I thought he was a biologist.Quote:

E'less Clark
He plays for SA doesn't he? It's hard to say because no one knows for sure who plays for SA.
Two questons:
1) Why is this thread in "Nothing At All To Do With Woodwork", and not in the "TEST" forum???
2) If they let Clark (with a frickin e) play, who will be they find to carry the drinks without spillin' 'em?
Sadly they didn't sell me tickets for tomorrow, so I'll have to put up with seeing Matt get his double ton early Friday, then the Poms going back into bat round lunchtime I s'pose.

:D

If this is the official thread then how come the has been bugr all knocking of and belittling of the Poms.:confused:
Cmon guys, FOCUS!:mad: :D :D
So why is it called a test and what are they testing?
Testing for Fair Dinkum Aussies:D :D :D
Sort out these chardonay drinking, ping pong playing, cricket ignorant, nuff nuffs infiltrating Aussie culture:p :p :p
:D :D :D
Not forgetting basketball players (a.k.a. You Shoot - I shoot) :p :DQuote:
