[Pistol Night]

It looks like there will be a big crowd there today, well a big Indian crowd at least, they are already making a lot of noise.

Should be in a the bar getting a quick 4 pints in the losers

 

[MJG14]

Good morning from the MCG.

 

[madjoe]

We arent winning on a dust ball man

I don’t need a straw man. You’ve been shown the laws, and a thousand other things a million other times, and your comeback to that was ‘two journalists, one of whom isn’t even a journalist he’s just a veteran broadcaster who doesn’t specialise in cricket and doesn’t know much about it think he is suspicious.’

So, ah, yeah. Good one: you’ve certainly got the cricket world thinking.

You and Bear, set to turn the laws on their head and change what is and always has been a throw, locked arm in arm together marching to the gates of the ICC like Dorothy and The Scarecrow, with Grumbleguts probably running along behind on all fours like Toto.

Was nearly gonna say, Sharma for all his shortcomings as a batsman in test cricket - his overseas mishaps etc - is one of the great ODI openers. Would probably make as much sense for him to just go out and treat it like a 50 over game as it would to try and chase 4 an over.

Dhoni was the absolute king at limited over chases. They'd look gone for all money and he'd get them home

Speaking of the WTC

They really should start getting better at that sport they invented

Good morning from the MCG.

Thats like a Sydney Sweeney nude to Bill Lawry.

 

[dumb]

Australia are only going to be batting for a single ball this morning aren't they?

You really can't see where you were running a straw man argument in #10,210?

Do I really have to walk you through it?

 

[Bungeye]

Lets see his body language.....

You mean when he blames the pitch or shoes for being hit for a boundary?

 

[peternorth]

Looks like Australia will bat on.

If Australia set 333, that's 3.39 an over.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Stones throw from the G at work, beautiful day for cricket. Happy day 5 to all

 

[Black Diamond]

Yes, it was amazing.

Particularly those easy chases which somehow lasted to the final over.

Or the other occasions when he took it easy and India somehow lost.

Greg Blewett is a just for men customer no doubt

Good morning from the MCG.

Best cricket stadium in Australia?

 

[Cmarsh]

Does anyone know what has happened to WINVIZ?

Doesn't seem to be activated on google anymore.

Again, does it matter? Pointing out the laws of the game and the fact that he clearly doesn’t break them hasn’t mattered to you: Bear Maurice’s opinion is far more important, so why would a strawman argument be off limits all of a sudden.

Good morning from the MCG.

Super morning that.

 

[dumb]

Langer going down with the Marsh ship

 

[AJ_2000]

Apparently we've just declared - no 50 for lyon

Haydos missed the memo

Still straw manning. Can't help it can you.

They may have told Lyon he has 10/15 minutes to get his 50 - reach the milestone quickly or get out trying, they aren't going to hold on
