Superthread XXXVII

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

P.S. Raging over. Problem solved by a bottle of De Bortoli Windy Peak Sangiovese, 200mL of Johnnie Walker Double Black (which I got for free through Facebook!), 1 Jamesons + Cola RTD (Note: SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH), 1 Rebellion Bay Spiced Rum + Cola RTD (SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET), a 6 pack of Big Head beer, and whatever comes next.

Nice and calm...

Not quite (though she did break everyone's heart by not numbering this SuperThread). 3rd Test between England and South Africa started today.

since when have test matches stopped me from posting?

I love talking about cricket, even if it is just to myself

 

[Hallatia]

kids at school who aren't (or were yet to be) interested in cricket have started talking to me about it lately, asking me questions and stuff. They know I am obsessed with the sport, but I am not quite sure what brought on their interest in it

It might not stop you, but it definitely slows you down!

 

[Hallatia]

I don't think it has in the past

 

[Hallatia]

I think I might publicly talk to myself about cricket right now

 

[Hallatia]

50 partnership up between the two in the middle at the moment, I hope to God they put up a massive stand and Duminy PBs. And as I say that, Rudolph gets out. Rudolph's highest test score is double Nelson not out, how funny

 

[Hallatia]

this wicket looked like a batter's wicket despite some cloud cover, but it's playing quite differently.

 

[Hallatia]

Duminy's pb came in a massive stand with Dale Steyn. I am sure many Australians remember that knock ... it was in his first test series ... His career peaked there ...

You're playing a team that has been beaten by the Netherlands in recent history...

 

[Hallatia]

not that recent. England were weird during the world cup.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Recent enough...

 

[Hallatia]

I think England are the number two or three test team in the world at the moment. I'm not talking ranking-wise, I am talking reality-wise, but I think rankings might soon reflect who are the best.

should be
1. South Africa
2. Pakistan
3. England
4 should probably be Australia

Also, went and watched Bourne Legacy today. Bloody good action flick, had a laugh when Shane Jacobson turned up part way through too.

However, the down side is that Rachael Weisz has taken acting lessons off of Kristen Stewart...

Pakistan that high?

 

[Hallatia]

in two Saturdays time, Australia will play Afghanistan in an ODI, I give Afghanistan a decent shot at challenging for that game. Would love to see them win it. I love associates and I love seeing them given official ODIs outside of the world cup

 

[Hallatia]

Pakistan that high?

I think Pakistan should probably be number one, but I have a slight South Africa bias

 

[Hallatia]

I am not complaining about this with the cricket on, but I don't think I will be able to sleep again tonight. I fell asleep for a couple of hours earlier in the evening
