1st ODI - Australia v Sri Lanka MCG Fri Jan 11 2013

[Meth]

Sri Lanka could probably have had Bailey out twice if they were more alert in the field.

Make that 3

And that was Hughes' call. Bailey would have been at fault.

 

[Hallatia]

Bailey seems like a sweet guy, he has a very nice smile and Hughes seems so determined to run him out but after each one he just puts a big smile on his face

 

[Hutty1986]

How terrible is Hughes? FMD.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Heavy Artillery Hughes.

Coined by own very own forum mong.

I'll kill you.

 

[TheParraboy]

im glad i picked George in my fantasy side, i reckon he could top score here today, batting very well and very sensibly

 

[Horrie Is God]

I'll have $10 on HAH running Bailey out eventually..

 

[Hallatia]

my fantasy side is off to a bad start, but it will finish better

The crowd is terrible, there's barely anyone there? Hoping that by 4-5 when work is finished people starting turnin up but ATM for a Friday game during school holidays, that's borderline embarrassing.

Would u pay over 50 dollars to see that lineup today masquerading as 'Australia'? I feel sorry for those who forked out money months ago only to find out about these changes to the side over the past week. It certainly deterred me from spending 100+ dollars at the SCG. Face it, ODIs in this country are dead thanks to T20. Remember the days not so long ago when Australia regularly got 60k+ at the MCG as well as selling out at the other venues? At least the tri series format gave some meaning rather than playing useless 5-7 ODI series.

OT, LOL at all the suggestion of Glen Maxwell being in the test side. I saw him in the BBL the other night and he being touted as a 2nd spin option for India is a joke. Pure Victorian propaganda. He is the right handed version of Xavier Doherty and should be nowhere near the baggy green cap. Khawaja can consider himself very unlucky of someone like Maxwell gets the nod ahead of him

The Inzamam ul-Hughes school of run outs:
1. Shout 'wait on' every ball then 'yes' then run.
2. Whatever you call never ever change it.
3. Run to the safe end no matter what.
4. Repeat steps 1-3.

you forgot the pay no heed to your partner's call and "decide" for yourself regardless of whose call it is

Not to mention its 37 today.

CA need to get a clue and offer a reduced ticket after 5 pm, the dying format needs it.

Channel nine complain about selectors picking a B team yet they can put in James f**king Brayshaw.

:lol:He's BM's boyfriend.

 

[BunniesMan]

The criticism of Hughes is getting farcical.

No matter what it is always his fault. If he hesitates, he is wrong. If he goes, he is wrong. If he listens to his partner, he is wrong. If he doesn't listen to his partner, he is wrong. If he's going to the danger end, he is wrong. If he's going away from the danger end, he is wrong.

In that "incident" with Bailey, Bailey said yes and started running, so Hughes did aswell, then Bailey hesitates and changes his mind, and apparently Hughes is in the wrong.

The one before with Khawaja, as slow as Khawaja is if he slid the bat in with the proper technique he would have been in. But it was still Hughes in the wrong.

Most of you are shitting on him only because I like him and want reasons to bitch if he gets a 100.

I'll kill you.

You know who I meant.

 

[BunniesMan]

you forgot the pay no heed to your partner's call and "decide" for yourself regardless of whose call it is

And also don't forget that when you do listen to your partners call you're still wrong if your name is Phil Hughes.

All spot on, except replace run with "amble like a bear with two sore feet"

I like Slats and JB.

Slats is on the NRL footy show. JB is on the AFL footy show. JB was a good cricketer for WA, Slats was also a good cricketer. They both seem like good blokes.

 

[some11]

Taylor says Hughes is not a natural runner and cannot judge a run.

You gonna override that mong?

Actually, I'm in favour of half-priced tickets for both tests and ODIs. This would be attractive for those who have things to do during the day.

For ODIs, I'd open the gates immediately after the conclusion of the 1st innings and for test matches, half way through the 2nd session.

At the moment, I've said it before and I will say it again: tickets to the games are just way too exorbitant for the average fan, especially since cricket attracts a lot of families as their target fan base and has a high representation of school kids as fans. CA have completely priced out the majority of them. The Ashes next summer are going to be hell expensive, especially since the Poms and people who are registered with CA membership get first crack at the tickets
