5th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy January 3-7 1000hrs @ the SCG

Scotty B married well.

She seems down to earth

Why are all the signature the same lol.

They’ve also got the 5th test final scores

This is not wishing injury on anyone, but imagine the scenario.

Smith gets hurt before Sri Lanka and can’t play, is out for 12 months. Now at his age you’d consider retiring but he’s on 9,999 runs so he gets fit, plays a BBL game on New Years Eve and declares himself fit for the Sydney test.

Series tied 2-2, does he play just for his own personal milestone?

Brave to come out in public as the biggest flog on the entire internet.

Love your wife’s name, Scott - Richie Benaud probably

True, but it'll be an interesting watch.

Tasmanian's have generally held out little hope for a state team over the years, so allegiances to other teams are heavily ingrained.

I suspect the fan base will have to grow from the younger generation, assuming the older supporters don't suddenly change allegiance.

But, as you say, nothing to do with politics and opportunity in the State.

The general feel in Tassie is most will adopt them as a 2nd team but won't replace people's main team.
The big issue is the stadium, most feel Launceston capacity should've been increased by building up.

The North for the footy and the south for cricket.

If it happened, 99.99 didn't do any harm for Bradman's legacy

Neither did 99.94

Virat is really carrying on like a pork chop. Angry little man.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Virat up to his usual floggish crap. Retire already you old disgruntled wank.

Kholi just did it on the world stage.

Ashwin is set to unload once the Tour has ended

Yeah maybe, but he was a bit precious demanding that he be selected to play in the tests or not come, if that's to be believed as reported.

I would've thought the way out of that would be, "No worries mate - see ya when we get back"

 

[troybe]

Kohli’s

 

[10Dulkar]

fair enough, but if i lived in India I'd be supporting Australia against India just quietly.

I want to add a few points:

There is a nuance and to me you can support India but still appreciate what this country provides. I love it here and I don't waste time in telling people whether they'll listen or not!

My partner is Indian and she is supporting India in this series. I suspect next year she'll be right behind Australia. Nothing to do with her having a weakness for Cummins

There are undoubtedly issues that arise with large-scale immigration that we've seen across the western world but how f***ing special it was being at all five days of the MCG test with those massive crowds, enthralling cricket and a highly-charged atmosphere. That will live me with for the rest of my life. The same goes with cricket clubs - definite challenges but many where I live would be on their arse without the numbers.

Now back to the cricket!

i'll just quietly go ahead and delete that post

Will be interesting to see how it plays out, now that an independent assessment has found the stadium won't be delivered on time, or on budget, given the financial penalties involved and the overall burden imposed on the taxpayers.

He’s had that tag for a fair while.

Yes but my point was it wasn't 99.99

 

[swingdog]

Its as beautiful hypothetically as Sydney Sweeny accidentally drunk dialing me and we end up married somehow.

She did that to you too?

Damn, I thought we had something special.

 

[peternorth]

I am more than happy to support Australia in the Ashes. I've chosen to make my life here and the country has been damn good to me in return.

Its a compelling study everytime England tours. No one bats an eye lid at English persons barracking for England despite living here. Or Australians born and bred supporting England.

Trades it back and forth with plugger

Just absolute w***er behaviour. Sort of shit you do with your mates behind closed doors for a laugh. Not in the middle of the SCG in front on a TV audience of millions. The flog would fit in well class wise at a Diddy party

So "the general feeling" is just what you think should happen then? Cos I haven't spoken to a single person with this line of thinking, including here on BF.

 

[Westend]

Prasidh has done well this test....reckon the Indians are kicking themselves they didn't pick him earlier

 

[Satan]

Smith should give his 4 runs to bradman

Any Australian citizen that supports the Poms should be deported by ship back to England and have to share a bunk bed with Piers Morgan
