Boycott makes an excellent comment here

Bomba · 5 January 2007

that was a thoroughly deserved 5-0 whitewash.

Hey Kennas

My knowledge of cricket is impeccable! And I am female And yes, that is probably sexist but what the heck!

And I also get good info from a very knowledgeable person!

And horses, this year I picked the Melbourne Cup winner, and won $100 on a $10 win to boot! Oldest son thought I was crazy betting on a horse he said was a rank outsider and told his mates so as he was placing my bet (I dont know how to do it!) But, he also put $10 for a place on the same horse for himself because last year I got second place. Now his mates ask me for tips :

anyone want to predict the outcome of the 1 dayers?

http://www.abc.net.au/sport/content/200701/s1822322.htm
"Fans hoping for an upturn in fortunes during the one-day format World Cup may be disappointed, however.
England have won just seven of their last 27 limited overs internationals - and one of those was against minnows Ireland. "

A great Ashes series gone by - a whitewash that we might not see for another 86 years!

I'm all for this whitewash, but I can't help but think how different the outcome would be if the England side not been so depleted. The likes of Simon Jones, Marcus Trescothick, Michael Vaughan were missing. Perhaps the victory-hungry Aussies would've still won back the Ashes. And looking back, England didn't do themselves any favours by trying to recreate the 2005 Ashes team (and leaving out Panesar and Read), not being prepared and not being hungry enough.

Also, Warney could become England's spin doctor... could this really happen??

I think that same about the '05 series if McGrath had not hurt himself stepping on the ball!

Bomba · 7 January 2007

In the 05 series, the poms played the best they could. Australia were well below their best and the poms only just managed to win the series 2-1.

This time round, the poms were below their best, but the aussies were brutal.

lets now see if there will be a whitewash of the one day series.

Egging the Englishmen on aint gonna work......they are too busy enjoying their vacation.

bvbfan · 7 January 2007

Gillie to hit the 1st 200 in one dayers, Aussies to make 400 against the Poms

Heck Sri Lanka made 320 in 38 overs against their 'bowlers'

I agree, a chick who knows about cricket is sexy.

Kipp · 7 January 2007

Glad it's NZ who are rounding out the three (even though I think a 3 team competition is well... a little crap)
I've always liked them as a One-Day outfit. Chris Harris (now retired) was solid, and Chris Cairns- though maybe a little past his prime... is one of the best in the world. It must be bloody awful fielding in those black outfits though in 35 degrees.. eeekk.

That is so true.....

I am going to my first International match at the MCG this Friday - last time I travelled to the MCG was to see my hubby play : A long, long time ago unfortunately and not his happiest hunting gound.

Hm, we were watching NZ V Sri Lanka yesterday on Foxtel and they lost dismally! Said to the family "Oh my God, and they are the third team in our Summer 1 day series and our chance to see a good match"

Rankings:-
1. Aus
2. England
3. Pakistan
4. India
5. Sri Lanka
6. South Africa
(NZ??)

This has absolutely nothing to do with cricket - but couldn't find a better place to post it. Just curious if people display posts starting with oldest or most recent. I found it easier to change the default to give most recent first
(can be changed by going to User CP > Edit Options > Thread Display Options > Thread Display Mode, oldest first, or newest first )
https://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/faq.php?faq=vb_board_usage#faq_vb_threadedmode

I guess another option is to set the options so that it cuts off displaying posts older than say 2 or 3 days (assuming you read it at least every two days) - easy to go back and change it.

Eng v Aus, Twenty20 Match at the SCG
7.30pm (EST) Channel 9
Thank you Channel 9!

scsl · 9 January 2007

Wow what an innings by Australia!! England now need 222 to win. Australia's knock of 221 (5 wickets) was the highest ever Twenty20 international match score!

2020hindsight · 9 January 2007

surely would've been an easy $1.35 bet ! rats .
still the poms have played a lot of 20 over , and might be a surprise (?)
( all pigs fed and ready to fly )
(one of these days the luckless poms will win something !!? - even if it's only the toss )

Bomba · 9 January 2007

the aussies should try and replicate that innings in a 50 over game. i would love to see that. Imagine being 220 after 20 overs with 30 overs to go. 500 would be on the cards.

2020hindsight · 9 January 2007

6 / 84 , 7 overs to go
question is will the poms last 20 overs ?
RRR required run rate =18 an over.

I liked comments between Heals(?) and Vaughn.
"Cameron White made 120 in english 20/20?"
"yep, dont ask me how!!"
let's not forget that a lot of our hero aussie cricketers have a lot of pommie friends - and live there 6 months
PS I agree Bomba - except let's see 400 first lol. (500 might be getting a bit optimistic )

Australia has scored 400+ before. Last year in Jo'burg against South Africa the Aussies finished 4/434. Funnily enough, we lost. SA finished 9/438 with 1 ball to spare.

my memory stands corrected. (id forgotten the exact numbers) thanks - i recall, top match. maybe Bomba will get his 500 and all lol.
I guess, to get 500, all we need are 11 exceptional allrounders. - maybe if shane warne could teach ricky ponting to spin before he retires, (by which i mean almost as well as he does) -
and if glenn mcgrath could teach hayden to pacebowl? just a jest
