...the term 'Chinamen', pertaining to spin bowling deliveries? ie, what are the origins of the term?

Gorn!!!

Hadda been me, I woulda said 'YOU F****N DIRTY..........'

Sounds like reverse psychology to me....

What an absolute f*cking joke.....:thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd:

Was that the case? That makes it even worse. Cricket equivalent of the IOC awarding the '96 Games to Atlanta....

I've just read with interest that the sub continent are getting it, after last having it in '96, while we haven't had it since '92. Any reason for this? Seems a little unfair.....

Aussies down on form, confidence and players. Kiwis played above themselves.

I think they should reverse those winning odds....

Do you think the aussie ODI side is attempting to lull all the other WC sides into a false sense of security? Is that the strategy here?:thumbsd:

Huge, uncompetitive disappointment in the Ashes after the massive build up. And finished with the Poms kickin' our arses!!!!! Terrible year for the 2nd best sport, counting the days til the best starts again!!!!!!!

Interesting to see that none of the pre-tonight's game teams had Hodge in them, and virtually all post-game had him. What a difference 1 game makes....

Some of those Tests in India in the '01 series were amazing...

Hate to say it, but I'm totally bored with cricket this season. When does Footy season start????? Please!!!!

I hate to say it, since I'm such a big cricket and Aussie fan, but I'm finding my interest in the '06/07 series, and now the one dayers, waning slightly now that it's so one-sided. I want to watch a CONTEST. (a contest that Australia ultimately wins, of course!)

Edit......

And why?

It's the tragedy of modern cricket that he's gunna be overtaken shortly by a chucker.....

No vote from me....I like it all pretty equally.

Australia's been numero uno for well over a decade. How much longer can it last?

Yep, ripper servant, just like I said.....

...all time greats. Warney's HAD his final moment.....700 in front of 90K on home turf, Boxing Day. Sydney's a mere postscript to that. May be Pidge's last test, but he's playing on. Going to the WC next year. So hardly a massive farewell. And 4-0, 5-0, 4-1???? Who gives a sh*t??? The Urn's...

How much of this do you think is gamesmanship to boost interest in the Sydney dead rubber? Melbourne's DR had the added interest of Warney's 700th, and still drew crowds of 70-90K, but what has Sydney got?

With Darrell Hair...

The 'Warne Stand'. It's got a certain vibe to it....

Would love to see (or hear) the back of all of them, except Richie. Have been listening to those tired old hacks for 20 years, time to move on.....

Re: Your greatest Warne memory Ball of the Century....

Was gunna say that. Yeah yeah!!

With his full on death or glory batting style, I doubt it very much. But, you never know!!!

Dunno if this has been mentioned in 200+ threads, but I know someone who won't be too upset about this: one S MacGill.
