M Clarke telling Anderson to prepare for a broken arm was awesome.

Just awesome.

M Clarke telling Anderson to prepare for a broken arm was awesome.

Just awesome.

Now that was a sledge.

 

[Gough]

Now that was a sledge.

Problem was it came from Clarke's mouth who looked and sounded as threatening as a kitten.

Yeah in a cuthroat series when being a fan was as tense as it got, I really got behind that.

He was very fortunate we had Mitch in a purple patch, otherwise it would have been laughable.

Didn't he say "you want a broken fuùuuu arm "....?

 

[Kid A]

Big area of rain is coming. Currently about 50km west of the gabba. I think we will get another hour's play and that will be it.

No, a "sledge" features an element of witty one-upmanship, that is centred around something personal to the recipient. For example, Darryl Cullinan's barbed words to Warne.

fu** that maccas drive-thru ad is the lamest sh*t i've ever seen

It’s ****ing painful isn’t it. The music coupled with the tik tok dance just gets worse every time it comes on

 

[melbournemartin]

Urgh, got a seminar to give at 9am and tonight's play will run until 3am my time...

 

[Red Dog Styles]

Got so excited that play was coming back, but just remembered the batters we have left

True but at least he directed at the team pest in Anderson....similarly Ashwin is the team pest of India.

 

[scoman]

Not confident it won't rain again I'm an hour or so. The next band of rain is going to be very close.

Good to see them back out there now though. Let's get a few more and get a look at them with some overcast conditions.

Sri Lanka are the worst test side in world cricket now behind the West Indies

Zimbabwe and Afghanistan still have test status don't they?

 

[tombomb]

4:30 restart time

On another note watching Warners 335 v Pakistan last year it is hilarious how bad their fielding is. They are kicking balls for four.

It's not quite as funny when you realise Warner can fail repeatedly for years and years when the pressure is really on, because there is always a series around the corner against Pakistan or Sri Lanka or the Windies where he can average 150.

that was hilarious, imagine how warne must have felt, apparently all his teammates loved it

Best batsmen in the world Williamson ... who really showed up the last big away tour his team had

To be fair he was battling illness in the latter stages of his last tour to Australia, and l think didn’t even play the Sydney test match. Personally l prefer Kohli as the best batsmen in the world, because he performs consistently in all forms of the game, and Smith the best test batsmen, because of the number of times he has had to pull Australia out of the Sh1te.
But Williamson's record is phenomenal, and deserves to be ranked number 1 at this stage. Plus he averages over 41 in test cricket against Australia and around 40 in ODI's against us.

It doesn't always have to be witty banter, sometimes needs to be strong, not playful.

good slash

 

[k31th]

nicely slashed away by Cummins, easy runs with a short-wide ball like that

M Clarke telling Anderson to prepare for a broken arm was awesome.

Just awesome.

Thing is Clarke only said it cause Anderson was chirping up and having a go at Bailey who was fielding at short leg.

Just imagine all the outrage it would have caused if he said it today when calling someone a dickhead warrants a public apology and gets you painted as literally Hitler.

 

[Red Dog Styles]

Cant understand why they say we have only lost 1 over from that break. It was Tea, not Lunch break

that bouncer just did not bounce...

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

FMD.

It’s glanced his helmet.

Also while personal life is personal it's hard to overlook certain things when they keep crapping on about how he's a great bloke and spiritual leader of the side.

It's funny how some things can have you looking at a person differently, and sometimes those things are miniscule. The thing I didn't like from Lyon was the time a batsman was run out and lying on his back on the pitch, and Lyon dropped the ball onto his chest. Not much was said about it, but I just thought it was an arrogant thing to do and totally unnecessary.
