LET THE CRICKET BEGIN

Jump to new
Did anyone hear the ABC commentary last Tuesday night - specifically all the Michael Hussey jokes? They were great. Here are some examples:

* Michael Hussey sleeps with a night light - not because he is scared of the Dark but because the Dark is scared of Michael Hussey.

* When Michael Hussey exercises - the machines get stronger.

* Michael Hussey doesn't push himself up - he pushes the Earth down.

* When Michael Hussey orders Mexican - the chilli starts to sweat.

* Mickey Mouse wears a Michael Hussey watch

I can't remember them all but they cracked me up.

some photos on the abc website :) - after a recent competition
http://www.abc.net.au/cricket/photos/gallery.htm - heaps more beauties
(and gr8 jokes duckman lol)
As far as the finals of the ODI go ( and whoever we play , eng or kiwis) personally I'd be worried if it was only one match - anything can happen - but best of three - ;) aus looking good imo.
btw, i guess ponting can say he personally remains unbeaten as aus captain. :2twocents
these photos remind me of that "seven up" TV series. "Give me a child until he is seven, and I will give you the man" http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=261729
or "bring up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it".

Nice pictures mate. I have a couple of minutes of my 2 yo holding a bat for the first time. She still doesn't to understand the rules though, she keeps on throwing the bat when the ball comes and I mean throw.

Hey Duckman, my partner was raving about these too! You have a couple more than he did, but surely they are on the net somewhere :confused:

Just found them:
The Ode To Mike Hussey". At the risk of embarrassing Mike further please read on!


:

* When Mike Hussey goes swimming he doesn't get wet, the water gets Mike Husseyed .
* When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Mike Hussey.
* Mike Hussey counted to infinity - twice.
* Mike Hussey invented every colour. Except pink. Tom Cruise invented pink.
* When Mike Hussey does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down.
* Mike Hussey hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.
* Mike Hussey gave Mona Lisa that smile.
* Mike Hussey can slam a revolving door.
* Some kids piss their name in the snow. Mike Hussey can piss his name into concrete.
* Mike Hussey once visited the Virgin Islands. They are now The Islands.
* Mike Hussey's calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd; no one fools Mike Hussey.
* Mike Hussey can speak Braille.
* Mike Hussey's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. Ever.
* Superman owns a pair of Mike Hussey pyjamas.
* Mike Hussey owns the greatest Poker Face of all-time. It helped him win the 1983 World Series of Poker despite him holding just a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
* Mike Hussey sleeps with a night light. Not because Mike Hussey is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Mike Hussey.
* Mike Hussey doesn't pop his collar, his shirts just get erections when they touch his body.
* Once a cobra bit Mike Hussey's leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.
* Mike Hussey divides by zero.
* Mike Hussey is always on top during s*x because Mike Hussey never f***s up.
* When Mike Hussey exercises, the machine gets stronger.
* Mike Hussey doesn't use pickup lines, he simply says, "Now."
* Mike Hussey sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled cricketing ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Mike slog swept the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.
* Mike Hussey can kill two stones with one bird.
* Mike Hussey once had an erection while lying face down. He struck oil.
* Mike Hussey once devoured a whole wheel-barrow full of clay to prove to a friend that the expression "Sh***ing bricks" wasn't just a figure of speech.
* The only time Mike Hussey was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistake.

(apologies for some of the naughtier ones....guess thats what happens when you paste off the net :eek: )

It was just a fluke. I'm sure that the Aussies just felt sorry for them and let them win one. On to the next match. I still think that the Aussies will pay the Kiwis in the finals.
 
Australia are trying to play the poms into the finals ,they seem to have less trouble against them than NZ :p:

kiwis need 72 off 55 , 3/199
looks like we play the kiwis ;)
be interesting to see if those 10 sundries in first overs cost the poms the game (and series?) - don;t you love it , Plunkett gets Gilly with yorker first ball two games back - and today gives away 5 wides first over.

http://www.sportingbet.com.au/uipub/sport.aspx?l1id=11&l2id=549532
kiwis 1.28
poms 3.65

oops - styris just out ;) - might go down to the wire after all.
kiwis 1.45
poms 2.65

oops - oram just out ;) - might REALLY go down to the wire after all.
kiwis 1.85
poms 1.93

oops - mccullum just out ;) -
kiwis 6.50
poms 1.03
looks like we play the poms after all ;) (plunket came good )
 
when the time comes, i think the aus selectors should consider Luke Ronchi as the replacement to gilly. he's younger than haddin, and most importantly he can really hit em. 56 ball hundred against NSW proves it

Haddin's form has been rather scratchy. If gilly hangs on another couple of years, I think Ronchi will get the nod ahead of Haddin. But if gilly does go sooner than that, Haddin will still be in front. Some of those shots today... unbelievable.
 
Symonds should practice his wicket keeping. He can become the next test keeper. That way Watson can be the allrounder in the team and we replace an explosive player like Gilly with another explosive player.
 
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=124012 The Umpire strikes back :)
Darrell Hair files lawsuit against ICC and PCB
Thursday Feb 8 05:53 AEDT
Australian umpire Darrell Hair has confirmed he has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Hair was sacked from the ICC's elite panel of umpires after Pakistan complained about his role in a ball-tampering row in the forfeited Oval test against England last August.

"I can confirm that I have instructed my lawyers... to issue an application in the London Central Employment Tribunal alleging racial discrimination by the ICC and PCB," he told a news conference in Nairobi.

when I heard it on AM this morning, it didnt sound like he had a very good case :2twocents - on racial discrimation grounds anyway. - but time will tell.
 
Some more Michael Hussey FACTS:

There is no such thing as global warming. Mike Hussey was cold, so he turned the sun up.

Mike Hussey gave Mona Lisa that smile.

Mike Hussey doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
 
Aus won the toss and chose to bat.

Aus 1/154 after 28 overs.

If you're at home, it's time to turn on the tv... the big hitting's not too far away!
