SuperThread LXX - Honouring James Graham's Unbreakable Melon

[Red Bear]

Will be going to the game next Sunday. Test match in the arvo, NOFX and Frenzal Rhomb that night. Not bad.

Speaking of beyond useless, Mitchell Starc.

 

[Bazal]

Starc was better than Siddle, just happened to get a few more overs at Misbah in a mood. That isn't saying much though. God Siddle's shit.

I rate Starc on his day but picking him in these conditions was never going to end any other way....he failed in India and these are flatter tracks

 

[Apey]

I hope not, Josh Papalli was at best useless.

Thaiday, Papalli -> Wing
Mansour, Sione -> Props

Hunt, DCE, Cronk, Cam Smith -> four halfbacks rotating out of dummy-half.

It wasn't a try, don't be ridiculous.

f**king disappointing result though. Satisfying to no one really.

Roos half arsed their way to another underserved victory.
England couldnt close out yet another game.

International RL is the loser again.

International league will probably stay the loser whilst Origin has such a big focus in Australia.

I love state of origin, but I'd love even more if international league had that sort of intensity and interest.

 

[Bazal]

Meanwhile, poor Sri Lanka. Dragged into an ODI series against an angry India when the Windies forfeited their tour....not expecting or prepared to play, India are 0/200 after 30. Yikes.

Just learnt what we thought was a win at cricket over the weekend was actually a loss. One set of rules for rain affected games says we have to pass their score at the equivalent period, which means we would have won. The other is the one the association is saying is applicable, which is on run rate. They had a run rate of 4.92, we were 4.78, so we lose.

If we played out the overs we would have won, as we only needed 25 runs from 5 overs.

 

[Bazal]

This is why the standing rule in Canberra is "Rain? f**k...oh well, lets have a beer and call it a washout!"

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

This is what I don't get. If we were ahead of their score at the same point, how is our run rate lower? (Please note, my maths is shit).

 

[Bazal]

I would say they take the net run rates. So you would have had to be above their total run rate for the innings, not just at that point. But I'm drunk and hungry

Bingo.

 

[Twizzle]

we shouldn't have won last night in that ugly strip

So, I met a girl the other day and got her number and forgot text her over the weekend due to me recovering from surgery. Given it's now been four days, is to late?

 

[Joker's Wild]

Nope, 4 days is cool

It's all good, just mention that you will bring the lube and black mamba. Then it's a party!

was wondering that myself

 

[Apey]

Got absolutely thrashed at indoor soccer lol. We were coming 1st, these guys 2nd... except their team is full of 1st graders from the local Newcastle outdoor comp. We have a 3 - 4 good players and then a few plodders like myself. Our team always gives up though as soon we start to lose a bit. Lost 14 - 3 :crazy:

matt cooper is on there..

so it's a regular fixture in the muzby household, and I believe the show is a cornerstone of culture in Australian tv..

once he's off though, i'll stop watching and go back to bagging it..
