At 113/0 Ian Healy: 'Don't switch over, this is when a hattrick occours - bang bang bang and England are on the ropes'

He really is the biggest biased knob in a team of biased knobs.

Healy prattling on about how we don't know if it's a bad display by AUstralia until we see England bat.  Seen enough yet you biased cock?

Went to the Black caps game today.

How do you find out the crowd attendance?

Looked like a small crowd but wasn't sure if the bigger stadium gave it that effect.

I thought this was quite a good article comparing the unorthodoxy of 20/20 vs test cricket in the Herald today

Apparently when Andrew Strauss won the toss yesterday he said "you can bat". Ricky Ponting then replied "no we can't".

Three for me, and two for them.

This is pretty f**kin sweet to watch, good start to my holiday.

Post match press conference will be Ponting whinging about the review system and how it ruined this test match.

Hope prior gets his ton [deserves it] then they declare with a few overs left in the day.

I don't see any point England batting tomorrow. Get cracking on trying to take some wickets. The more time bowling at them the more likely they'll take them. Get in there England!

There's 3 days left. Pile on the runs, get a lead of 500 by tea, still have 7 sessions to roll them. Easy. Humiliating. Done.

This^

Give them a daunting figure to chase so they know they need at least four batsmen to score huge runs.

They'll be playing for a draw. The lead is already daunting. I'd hate to see the Aussies save this, and they could if the rain does come, which is in the cards.

They won't come close to saving it unless it pisses down for 2 straight days.

I'm looking forward to seeing this:

@scottbstyris  For the record I'd been practising a new shot all morn before the game and thought I'd try it! Back to the nets for me I reckon


Edit: Actually I just figured the tweet was in response to Chris Rattue's piece today for the Herald.

Some performance that. Hope he's embarrassed after watching the footage himself. Haddin was the only player who thought it was out so he was arguing with only Haddin's word and the big screen shots to go by, which were what the 3rd umpire confirmed it not out from. Stupid c**t.

Shows the Aussie attitude. I remember Warne telling Daar how to umpire in Brisbane a few years back when he was fresh on the scene. The Aussies are getting a bit found out by this referral system.

I've seen it. I don't agree, however with the technology today no one can get away with anything.
Please don't tell me that Oz are the only team to have behaved like this.
Suggest you listen to what the South African Kevin P. had to say.
As for the result, as I said I'm not a cricket freek, so I really don't care.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
