Its Summer! - the Fever Cricket Thread. (Part 1)

Watching the Boxing Day Test...

Good to see the Pakistanis still can't catch.

Crazy for them to leave out Kaneria.

Man I hope Shane Watson gets out for 99 and the bowler repeats his Gayle celebration right in his punchworthy face.

Watson out again in the 90's!!!

rofl

Hahahahaha. Watson and Katsh*t both out in the 90s again.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of pricks.

Just need Punter to choke in the 90s and it'll have been a good days cricket imo.

Annoying to see Pakistan drop a couple in the first session or it could've been looking very different. Katich lucky not to edge it onto his stumps when they were only on 8. Stinker.

Really missed not having a boxing day test today, it was good while we did.

Watson earlier



c**t.

ROFLo soldier, dreadlock rasta!

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person (Watson) especially the way he got out!  Magic! 

Early declaration from Australia at only 450. Would've thought they'd have given Haddin a thrash. Sweet, now Pakistan can smash 400 and it's game on!

Aamer the 17 year old is ripping into the Aussie top order atm. Brilliant stuff to watch.

I really really hope Watson misses his century.

Dropped on 99 and he gets a century off it ! Argh ! Drama !

Simon, you c**t, you jinxed it!

(nb. Simon is actually pretty cool and in no way a c**t.)

 You're cool too Daniel.

f**k Shane Watson and f**k the daft Paki prick who dropped him.

Not happy

Otago looking like they will be just short against Canterbury. We got 410, They need 110 off 46 balls. Not impossible but very difficult.

Great first match in the HRV cup, Tim Southee bowling a brilliant last over to give ND the win in their interesting pink strip.

Wellington are playing today at Pukekura park. Wish I could go, bet it's not windy up there.

Think the Aussie v Pakistan series continues today. Really hope Pakistan can show up to this one.

Ps - I don't like the pink strip

It's for a good cause

I have said previously that I realise it's for a good cause. There are other ways of demonstrating support for a charity rather than changing the kit.

What If the nix decided to get behind breast cancer fund and changed their strip to pink??

do it for one game.

Would you also have a problem with this? Good on them if they do. Besides it's not like the Northern Knights are changing forever, it's just for this Twenty20 sh*te. I mean even the stumps and crease marks are pink so it's just giving some publicity to a good cause.

What if it was a different colour? Would you care so much then? Seriously people who complain about this sort of thing are the kind of people who would march to Parliament if they found a hair in their cornflakes.

Interestingly it was a plan for the Phoenix when the initial draw had them opening at home against the Mariners, but then the draw changed and it didn't work out.

Wellington getting well and truly destroyed... CD 165/2 at the start of the 16th over.

remember pukekura is a very small park. hoping it's a combination of that and a very flat wicket. can see us choking with the bat though. fingers crossed.

True, but I think we could be chasing 210 odd here, like to think we can do it. But don't think we will. Hope Shah gets going.

two quick wickets of Taylor and Oram should halt them a bit. Napier is dangerous though

Ingram looks to have batted brilliantly, that's the kind of innings you need going at just over a run a ball and just staying there, while others around go for the big hits.

So i take it Andy Mckay got injured and Shah finished his over...hit for ten of two balls LOLz. Anyone know about the injury?

bowden bowling the last over makes me nervous

208/5 final score. I really hope we can chase this, but can't quite see it.

Yeah so 208 will be a big chase. You're right about Ingram, we need someone to take a similar role at the top of the order. wish we had Jesse, would be sixes galore square on each side.

Anything can happen. seen some big runs scored/chased this summer. Wellington though...

Does Oram bowl for them ? Or is he a specialist batsman. His tight bowling will be key for CD. Other than that there's really nothing special in that CD bowling attack.simon_hampton2010-01-03 15:29:20
