Taking the p*ss out of Australia just got a whole lot easier! Their best bowler, and Man of the Match in the last WC Final, Shane Warne, just tested positive for a banned substance, and he's flown home! Oh, and Smeg, I know about Murali's arm, but I still don't think he bowls legally. Even though he can't fully straighten his arm, it should be to its straightest extent when he delivers the ball. I think his elbow moves as he's releasing the ball. That's a throw IMHO. Controversial, I know.
Man, when he was a rook, he use to be the man! He would be batting cleanup on that Pakistan team and knocking the **** out of the ball.
Also, did anyone catch ESPN's Top Best?!? They showed two plays, and I think it was from the NZ vs. Sri Lanka game. Those were some pretty nice catches. And I thought I would post this also: Shane Warne tests positive for drugs http://www.cricket365.com/Breaking_News/story_7031.shtml Rockets03, there goes Australia's hope...
the Oh man! What a match so far. I have my Pakistani friends over and am talking trash since the beginning. And then BAM! One wicket down after ten runs, another after 30 or so, another after 60 or so. And four before hundred. Where can I buy a Symmons jersey? The man is the ultimate pimp! Australia - 310 freakin runs!!!!!!!! Knowing my luck though Pakistan will chase it down. Also, didnt the announcers say that its not a banned substance he was found guilty of? Something legal to help him recover from his injury. That would suck for India.
Woo hoo! Pakistan is down baby! No more go Australia! Screw Australia! Still **** Pakistan! And Go India! Beat Holland! In all honesty though, Australia just looks too damn good and are way too experience for anyone to handle.
GO AUSSIES GO we don't need Warne anyway and our batting should only get better over the tournament with Lehmann and Bevan to come back in Heckle the convenient store guy now HeyP
He's certainly the fastest now isn't he? (Although it's pretty even between the pretty boys) - but surely Jeff Thompson is the fastest ever! Can you ask your convenience store owner what he thinks of Steve Waugh (War) not being selected for the world cup? I know a lot of us Aussies are outraged - be interested to think what people outside this country think (or even if they care!)
Does the fact that he can't straighten his arm mean that he should never have been a bowler in the first place? In a sport where a legal technique is required then surely not being able to do that means that you don't play the sport! If you can't throw the Bocce ball underhanded because your hand is deformed, then you just wouldn't be allowed to play Bocce! Anyway, he straightens his arm from very bent to partially bent as he delivers - that is classified as a chuck. I don't know how they ever examined hs action and found it "ok".... And I remember that infamous tour over here where Hair no-balled him, the Tele published a photo of him returning a ball from the outfiled and his arm was perfectly straight - I just wish I'd kept that photo...
I have a friend that is a chucker. I didn't know that it was called that. Everyone says he cheats, but he insists that he doesn't. I can't wait to call him a chucker. Thanks fellas'
Tomorrow is the big game between Australia and India. Whoever wins should be in excellent shape for the rest of rounds. I know India won't win, but I am hoping the at least keep in competitive. By the way has anyone checked out Espnstar.com message boards? The Indians and Pakis over there are absolutely crazy.
Damn, India is getting clobbered. Australia won even before they took the field for their batting innings ... 125!!!!?!?!? As of 8EST, they're 60 runs from victory, insane!
Thats it! I am giving up on sports. Pathetic ass performance. Why Ganguly is an opener is beyond me. He is dumber then Francis when it comes to understanding the game. Could Dravid look any more afraid? Could Sehwag have done anything more idiotic on batting?
Why is the World Cup still going on? They should just hand the Cup to Australia. Its not even close and its definitely not fun. I don't know why I still watch.
R03, how good was the bowling for the man from my town Jason Gillespie 2 for 13 off 10, amazing!! I'm still watching!!!
I can't believe how good the Aussie bowling is. Its not even fair to the other teams. And to top it off they have one of the best batting lineups as well. India has 1 BILLION freakin people and they cant find one freakin fast bowler?!?!?!
