[FootyGuy13]

Where am I?

Dunno, wherever Packer sat during cricket games.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Morning Fulminians and '97ers. We'll begin day 3 in a bit so get your brunch on spudmaster Dinsdale moginie jackster83 Van_Dyke KBLT Gralin Roonescape HinkleysHeroes Ocha905 FootyGuy13

 

[philreich]

Pretty pisspoor to not post in here.

Oh wait.

Was he the umpire who fired out Greg Chappell for 235? The ball would have missed a second set of stumps - after the end of play, the umpire was asked how he came to his decision. He replied, "Because I was sick of the sight of him."

 

[Dinsdale]

Looking forward to see the teaBreakwatchman come in

No, that was Javed Akhtar.

Who also notably turned down every appeal against Taslim Arif as he went on to make 210*.

 

[Tonga Bob]

62.6 Gralin to Young, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman

End of over 63 (0 runs)
AUSTRALIA 237/6 (deficit 197)
Gralin 10.0-2-36-2
Young 0(5b)
Healy 41(38b 9X4)

And Gralin celebrates a wicket maiden by taking his shirt off and doing a jig for some reason, fair play to him!

[Dinsdale]

Whatever Hinkley had for breakfast is going to be permanently on the menu at Fulminia Bakery

A roast Wildebeest pie I believe

 

[Gralin]

Now Gralin has been thrown the ball.

Fulminia into the '97ers tail now who are still 197 runs behind. Ian Healy's on strike, the new batsman Shaun Young's at the other end and Bob's got the ball in his hand & steam coming out of his ears.

63.1 TongaBob to Healy, FOUR, TongaBob is quite unfortunate to be hit after bowling a good one
63.2 TongaBob to Healy, no run, Healy was completely deceived
63.3 TongaBob to Healy, no run, Healy playing forward defensive
63.4 TongaBob to Healy, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman
63.5 TongaBob to Healy, FOUR, Healy is going haywire, and is starting to laugh at Bob who is absolutely fuming! This is holding play up and umpire Hugh Jarse is having none of it telling Helay to "stop laughing and face the next ball you back of a spoon pygmy, I need to take a piss and can't until lunchtime".
63.6 TongaBob to Healy, OUT, Thats plumb in front of the wicket! Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Healy has to walk just short of his 50. Shane Warne is the lunchwatchman.

Lunchtime on day 3, and it was Fulminia's sessions but only just taking 4 wickets but conceding 124 runs. Can the '97ers tail wag or will the Fulminians go into the second innings with a handy lead? Stick around and find out.

you back of a spoon pygmy,

An insult for the ages.

If only I understood what it meant.

This Waugh of mine completed successfully.

Apparently Mark Waugh's nickname was Afghanistan, because he was the forgotten Waugh.

The tail is already wagging more than what it did in the game I got the team from so that's not a good sign.

Welcome back here to the Fulminia Rec Reserve, and welcome to Western Australian viewers for the first time today. The '97ers need to go some tail wagging to avoid a first innings deficit. Shaun Young is taking strike, Shane Warne is at the non-striker's end, and Roonescape is going to continue with an 9th over of leggies. Here we go...

72.1 Roonescape to Young, no run, Young was completely deceived
72.2 Roonescape to Young, FOUR, What a blunder by KBLT. He gave away 4 runs with that misfield
72.3 Roonescape to Young, no run, That ball moved a long way away from the bat
72.4 Roonescape to Young, no run, Big appeal behind the stumps, umpire not convinced
72.5 Roonescape to Young, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from Van_Dyke
72.6 Roonescape to Young, FOUR, Young is going haywire!

End of over 73 (8 runs)
AUSTRALIA 278/7 (deficit 156)
Roonescape 9.0-1-33-1
Young 16(35b 3X4)
Warne 16(25b 4X4)

Now Gralin to continue from the Bakery End.

73.1 Gralin to Warne, no run, That ball moved a long way away from the bat
73.2 Gralin to Warne, no run, Warne was completely deceived
73.3 Gralin to Warne, FOUR, Great shot, four straight over the bowler's head
73.4 Gralin to Warne, OUT, spudmaster takes an easy catch to dismiss Warne, making up for his earlier miss. He'll be the most relieved potato in Fulminia right now! Ernie now has two wickets, as the scrabble players' nightmare comes to the crease.

Warne 20 (29b 5X4)

73.5 Gralin to Kasprowicz, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down
