[One Thousand Words]

One of my favourite things about cricket is the home ground advantage. Last year when India were white washed in Australia the bcci simply replied "come play us at home". Having said that the English batsmen were their own worse enemy yesterday. How many got out trying to smash the ball into the street?

 

[aussie101]

Might want to avoid getting whitewashed by India first

The first 2 tests they have thrashed you about as well as anyone has in recent years.

Indians are poor and often try to burn the stadium down. We are doing our best for society there....

Surely allowing the test to go a full 5 days would be better for their economy?

Not when Indians eat curry = every day. Do you know how explosive farts become after rogan josh?

It's not like their batsmen are putting in any serious time in the middle any way. Lots of card playing and hiding phone calls from bookies I bet

 

[aussie101]

Bookies. In New Zealand these are known as managers.

 

[One Thousand Words]

It's pretty much illegal to even advertise that's why the Australian teams need different kits when they play there. I wouldn't be proud of Australia's addiction to the punt. It's a poor image and a blight on sport but cricket in general

 

[aussie101]

New Zealanders do not wear boxes because they have no balls

 

[One Thousand Words]

Is that why Australian keepers wear helmets?

 

[aussie101]

You mean this helmet?

 

[One Thousand Words]

Lets face it, Wade wears his to hide the look of shame on his face. Worst keeper in world cricket at the moment.

 

[aussie101]

Wades a nancy, We had Gilly before Wade. Remember this:

I remember David Hasselhoff as Knight Rider, your point is?

 

[aussie101]

i remember New Zealand's all round cricket record against Australia also. Have you won any 20-20 games against us?

 

[One Thousand Words]

You say that like it is a real sport. This is as serious as NZ like to take the girlfriend form of the game....

 

[aussie101]

fkn lolol man. Do you have any picks of Dennis Lillie and his magical Mo?

 

[One Thousand Words]

I only save pictures of cricketing greats....

If classic mo's is what you are after I do have one of Liverpool great Ian Rush...

 

[aussie101]

You call them "cricketing greats"?? They look like they wanna have an orgy together
