Now we can concentrate on the Footy!

Well Hughes didn't get a 100 today but he didn't get out either so I was half right.

Who cares f**kstick. There's 11 players in a team.

Watching the Oscar Pistorius special on IView, documenting how dangerous a country South Africa is, this is in direct contrast to the tourism ads they put up that advertise SAf as a tourism destination for Cineadvertising for movies at the Dendy

Which Cricket Tour do you think is the most dangerous in world sport?

South Africa - high crime rate, pretty risky, guns aplenty
India - its well documented how some places are more dangerous for one gender more than the other
Barbados (the West Indies) - tough place to go out in, lots of crime
Pakistan - out of bounds for cricket tours for a very long time since the War on Terror commenced
Afghanistan - they have a pretty good cricket team, but theres no playing there

Safest
Here - Do the right thing, and dont do anything stupid by going out somewhere someone shouldnt go after dark then it should be ok
England - Same deal
NZ - Same deal

??
Sri Lanka - Tamil Tigers civil war still going on. But looks pretty safe as a Cricket touring destination
Bangladesh - Somebody fill in the author on this one?

West Indies are fine. Paradise compared to the other places you mentioned in that group.

Like you'd know. The closest you get to the West Indies is redfern station

I've seen more of the world than you. I'm less ignorant than you.

 

[Timbo]

Barbados is fine. Jamaica and Guyana on the other hand, not so much.

God I hope Wade isn't passed fit overnight.

 

[8Ball]

Phillip Joel Hughes will have another test century by the end of today. Mark my words.

Its amazing how someone can be so badly wrong so often.

Do you seriously know the future and then say the exact opposite just to screw with us?

Weather forecast is better for tomorrow in Chandigarh


(for those who want to know: there is no "single" place such as Mohali, Mohali is a district)

I am reading that Clarke is going to bat at 3. What does this mean for Hughes? With Khawaja coming back into calculations, Wade, Haddin ...and possibly Watson all in line for the 4th test, this is almost certainly his final chance.

 

[Earl]

I think Hughes is the one who has gained the most out of the four sackings.

There was simply no way Australia could have taken the same batting line-up into the 3rd Test match and Phil Hughes & Shane Watson were probably the 2 under the most pressure.

Only natural to give the vice-captain (and I use that term very lightly) an extra chance.

Hughes would have been dropped for Steve Smith or Usman Khawaja IMO.

This is most definitely his last chance to prove himself in india

Clarke has to bat at #3, who gives a crap about where Hughes bats it might as well be #11

 

[Twizzle]

Steve Smith is fit and raring to go according to his interview on Foxsports Noos

just sayin'

 

[Timbo]

Look, I have no major malfunction with Smith. Doesn't really bowl anymore, FC average in the 40s and been one of the better bats of the last few years. As a pure batsman who OCCASIONALLY bowls I'm onside with the call.

 

[Canard]

Best result again today would be more rain.

 

[Hutty1986]

Best result again today would be more rain.

We are just 9 days of rain away from a respectable 2-0 series loss in India!

 

[Sphagnum]

Well Hughes didn't get a 100 today but he didn't get out either so I was half right.

Another in an eternal list of days that Hughes will go without making a hundred.

Shittest player to ever tour in the baggy green. Worse than Doherty, Maxwell, White and McGain.

Crusing the SCG Boggers doesn't count. Go the Thwannnnies!!!

 

[jargan83]

At least the Test should reach the 5th day now.....

Ok that's a big call.
