20/20 Cricket

[Courty]

I've just been watching some of the Aus v. Eng 20/20. The first comment that springs to mind is: "how gay are the Aussie uniforms?" :shock: :???:

[WBennett]

How good are the mighty pies.

Now that is over - yes, how gay are the Aussie uniforms? They suit Nathan Bracken and Mitchell Johnson to perfection

[Ducky]

=;

[Jarro]

Nothings gayer than GAYFL :roll:

hey, at least the Aussies had a win ;)

[AndyP]

Can we change the topic heading to just "20/20"? It's just not cricket.

I can't believe they talked up the sleeveless shirts then wore a long sleeved undershirt.

[damoocow]

I thought the uniforms made the Aussie team look like the tossers they are....Great moments in design........

damoocow

[Bruce]

The missus just called them Star Trek uniforms. The collar certainly suits.

[goughy]

Does Lee's hattrick count? Or is it not realy 'cause it's 20/20?

[Jarro]

It's still cricket regardless of what some people think.

[Fishman Dan]

And what a hat-trick it was!! If it wasn't for Lee, those Bangladeshi's were going to get away from us!!

[Jarro]

Probably the best chance he'll ever get to get one, won't do it against top opposition

[Fishman Dan]

It's his second, the other was in the previous World Cup ;)

[Jarro]

Well isn't he a clever chap then

[Fishman Dan]

Well isn't he a clever chap then

I never knew an achievement like this could put anyone in such a bad mood! Let's talk about 'Haydos' and side-show Symmo then.....

[3oneday]

Did the Aussies win ?

Do they now have 3 sets of stats ? test, One Day, Half Day ?

Did anyone watch ?

[Bruce]

It's his second, the other was in the previous World Cup ;)

Against that other cricketing juggernaut - Kenya.

You know I never miss an opportunity to bag Brett Lee.

20/20 sortacricket appeals to those who can't tell the difference between movement and progress.

[Fishman Dan]

Against that other cricketing juggernaut - Kenya.

;) :p

The Banga's looked scared last night, as if they didn't mean to make it to the Super 8 stage!! And they kept that ridiculous Super-8 concept that was panned at the World Cup. Seeing Jacob Oram and Craig McMillan smash the Indian's around last night was almost worth watching. When Oram hits it - it stays hit!

On another note - anyone else get the feeling we're really going to struggle to bowl teams out this summer?

[Grunt]

Yep, you hit the nail on the head with that one.

[AndyP]

It's still cricket regardless of what some people think.It's as much cricket, as long driving is golf.

[Grunt]

It's as much cricket, as long driving is golf.

Good point AP, Have you guys heard the news that Ian Healy reckons that if marketed right Long Driving golf tournaments could be a great TV sport.

[raidrboy]

It's as much cricket, as long driving is golf.

If the Australian selectors got their head out of their a***h**** and started looking for some genuine quickies that with a bit of work can be brought up to test standard in the next couple of years they would be far better off than committing our current stocks to this twenty20 circus that is being played at present. Bloody dancing girls and, what about the bowl off to decide winners of games, I could not believe that, when it was shown in a news item the other night.

[markTHEblake]

Yeah Grunt, I said that last week. :-)

[Grunt]

Aussies going ok in the must win game against the Sri Lankans. After 7 overs Sri Lanka 4/28

[Grunt]

Make that 5/34 after 8

[Jarro]

SL all out for 101.

Hayden and Gilly going the tonk early on ... 0/16 after 2 overs 8)

[markTHEblake]

thats not tonk, tonk is 36 from one over.

[AndyP]

Stupid sport. When does the cricket start?

[Jarro]

Easy win for the Aussies, getting the runs with the loss of no wickets.

We play South Africa now in the semi's 8)

[Grunt]

Not set in stone that one Jarro, I think it depends on how much the pakis beat Bangladesh by.

[Bruce]

The big news from the game is that Papercut Watson has broken down again. He couldn't even get through a 4 over spell this time.

He might need to wait for the 5/5 version of the game. He might survive that many deliveries.

[Grunt]

Ian Chappell was quite upset that he keeps getting a go. Comments were something about "why doesn't this guy have to come back in state cricket?"

[leighthebee]

South Africa hitting the showers early.

[kpac]

i'm thinking of putting my own side together for the next world cup.... what a stupid version of the game!

[Jarro]

Ok, so it looks like we'll be playing India now

[Jarro]

It's as much cricket, as long driving is golf.

In your opinion of course. All the skills of the conventional one-day game come into play in 20/20

So you've said quite a few times already :roll:

Don't you start too :evil: ... must run in your family does it :p

[AndyP]

In your opinion of course. All the skills of the conventional one-day game come into play in 20/20I disagree. It's much more of a batters game.

In test cricket you get to enjoy a battle between the bowler and batter. No such thing here.

[Fishman Dan]

Ian Chappell was quite upset that he keeps getting a go. Comments were something about "why doesn't this guy have to come back in state cricket?"

His words were prophetic.

Why would you keep picking a bloke who keeps breaking down? You'd get sick of playing 1 man short?

3.2 overs. Bwahahhaahahahahahaaha. Wonder if he cried this time.

[Jarro]

Since when has anybody ever listened to what Chapelli has to say :roll:
