go the Tunder

hope the Victorians choke again in another semi tomorrow

Na, save the choke for the final please.

 

[lockyno1]

Nickolls has been a great short term buy too, important measured innings. In a way I hope Kallis doesn't come back for the final.

 

[Twizzle]

cant believe Oozie cant get a gig in our ODI or T20 squads

it seems that once they pigeon hole some one, they are too arrogant to change their minds

 

[hineyrulz]

More like they have to find room for Nuffies like the Marsh boys and their token Victorians Twiz.

and Twatto

[lockyno1]

Well Kallis has been rather average with the bat this year and Nicolls is better in the field. I won't be that disappointed if Kallis misses

Yes, a few more experienced players could lean from that.

Bravo, Dhoni, I'm looking at you. Both have thrown their wicket away in the past week with stupid first ball shots, when all their teams needed was them to hold up an end.

The should really look at changing the finals system IMO. You have one team who went 7-1 and had a bad day in the semi knocked out straight away whilst a team that won 50% of their games goes straight to the GF. Should do the 1v2, 3v4 system. CA would get an extra game and 1st would get a true reward with 2 home games and a potential 2nd chance.

No way, it was gloooorious seeing Eddie McChins mouth off to Tim Paine before Hobart knocked the Stars out.

I was listening to the game on the radio and the local Adelaide commentators had a bit of a rant about that and how unfair it was to the Strikers.

I could see where they were coming from but everyone knows the rules going into the tournament.

The IPL finals system is much better. My main issue with the current one is you can come 3rd and HOST the final.

Should be

Round 1

1v2 (winner hosts final)
3 v 4 (elimination)

Round 2

Loser of 1v2 V Winner of 3v4

Round 3

Grand final

Especially as they only needed run a ball...what's wrong with getting 25 off 22 or something like that....

The forced apology hurt it a bit, though.

 

[Tweed Titan]

lol was a bit of friendly banter. hiney took it well. You had a sook

He did take it well despite the fact your genuine butt hurt was evident. Sorry we can't all follow bandwagon teams and then get on the high horse about said bandwagon team being successful.

We all know Qld is very shit overall at cricket and that is why it took you until 1995 to win your first shield. You wouldn't have even won that if the likes of Taylor, Slater, Waugh, Waugh and McGrath etc weren't off winning more important things. Embarrassing really.

Don't worry mate Sean Abbott won't root your missus anymore he has been told off.

I agree that would be more fair but watching the SACtards and Victorians choke every year has been hilarious!

Fair bit of rain about Melbourne today. If the game is rained out, the top ranked team goes through.

 

[Twatface Magee]

Apparently at the end of this season they are going to look into Australian reps being made more available for next Big Bash. If it goes through just give BBL06 to the Sixers now.

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

Its pretty disgraceful that Oozie gets overlooked for the Darshes

It looks like the worst of it has passed for now but you never know what the weather is doing in Victoriania
