Who's he?

After watching the first 6 overs of the 2020 game, I'm thinking David Warner should replace him. He got his 50 in 19 balls

Mathew Hayden has retired... not sure if it is from test cricket yet

6strings21frets · 01-13-2009, 04:13 AM

He has retired from all forms of the game as of today

This post is a tribute to Matthew Hayden's illustrious career. *minute silence*

Hey Guys,
The cricket has been great. Not seen much as I do not have the network connection that allows us at home to watch. All your guys comments are great, but congrats to Aus for the brilliant 20/20 games. What is the story I hear about the green lazer. The one dayers are going to be good. Pity about Hadden, he really knew how to thrash SA, so I would say, Enjoy retirement Haddy, now we might win more games.
Graham Smith is a great player. What do you guys think of Dumminy? Time will tell

Enjoy the games and will catch up later

Dumminy from what ive seen of him has a mature head on young shoulders. and thats pretty good to have in your team. i dunno anything about the green laser, but it kind of reminds you about the mirrors flashing in the batsmans eyes, when we used to tour india and pakistan. i appreciated Botha's leadership skills the other night too. dunno why he isint in the test team.

Im still backing South Africa

i wish therewas an opition on my tv set, the option to gag Ian Healey whenever aussie start to lose and he starts to criticize anyone for what ever theyre doing. the wholesomemness of the aussie commentators is unbearable at times.

**dogfood** · 01-17-2009, 02:08 AM

oh yeeeehaaa, how good were those little south africians??

Hope the series goes down to Perth

Happy Australia Day guys

As for the green lazer story, when Cameron White skied the ball in the 2nd 20-20 game, and someone flashed a laser in Morne Morkel's eye. hope that explains it

And as for Duminy, I WANT DUMINY!

**dogfood** · 01-25-2009, 07:02 PM

you can have symonds instead...apparently he dosent like one of our kiwi players

6strings21frets · 01-26-2009, 08:31 PM

who would want him?

as for McCullum, I would be fine with him playing in Australian competitions, but I think it is kinda unfair that NSW bring him into the team for the grand final. I would be perfectly fine with him playing if he had already played a few games earlier in the season though.

**dogfood** · 02-01-2009, 05:16 AM

yeah i can identify with that, but it was NSW's call to do that. i dont like it either.

well we're currently playing aussie at the WACA, i was at church so i missed our bowling, by all accounts we have done well, and seeing as the game is in perth i will probably miss the rest of the innings as its already gone midnight on a sunday night.

New Zealand won by 2 wickets (with 0 balls remaining)

49.6 Bracken to Vettori, FOUR
The field comes in, Patel gets rid of his helmet, and his gloves. He wants to feel as light as possible.
49.5 Bracken to Patel, 1 run, just opens the face of the bat and steers it to short third man, New Zealand can't lose now, the scores are level
There's never been a tie between these two sides in ODIs
49.4 Bracken to Vettori, 1 run, fires in the yorker and he gets underneath a low full toss and works it away to deep square leg
49.3 Bracken to Patel, 1 run, gets forward and steers it down to backward point and the batsmen are struggling, the fielder has a shy at the bowler';s stumps and Patel is nowhere in the scene
Jeetan Patel walks in.
49.2 Bracken to Southee, OUT, timber! Bracken bowls that deadly off cutter and Southee fails to pick the slower ball, he exposes his leg stump and tries to heave it away over square leg as the ball thuds on to his middle stump
TG Southee b Bracken 3 (11m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
4 to get off 5, Southee on strike, the keeper is standing behind
49.1 Bracken to Vettori, 1 run, fires that on the blockhole and he pushes it firmly through the line to long-on
5 to get off 6 balls, tension!
