psst! over here!! *waves madly*
What's the run rate for SL right now?
(I'm looking at the program guide for tonight, and it looks like CH9 only scheduled 2pm-6pm for the match!!! That means they never planned to show the whole game in the first place! Bastards!)
Here I is!!
SL need 13 to win.
18 of 21 overs
Ch 9 are always shits with their sports telecasts.
The buy the rights to stop others from showing them.
9 to win!
People are starting to wake up to Ch 9, which is why their ratings are down.
Yeah, they suck so bad
9 to win?!?!!!!
D'oh!
But that's ok.... if SL win (and it looks like they will) it keeps things interesting
SL win,
Well done to em
That's one game all now.
With how many wickets remaining?
Oooooohhh...
But Aust have a bonus point don't they?
They only lost 2.
Fwaaah! Well done!
But Aust have a bonus point don't they?
I'll have to check on that
Okay... I thought they got one for that thrashing of SL
Yeah, you could be right there
Asa matter of fact I believe that you are right.
I think that India were in front but Aust get in front with their run rate.
Ahhhh...
I've been trying to find a tally board, but it's hard to come by
I know, same here.
From that it looks like India is on top?
It does doesn't it!
How did that happen??
I've been looking at it.... I think it's because they've played one game more.
After the next Aust v SL game, it'll be a better indication
After that one, I'm thinking Aust will be on top for sure
Yeah but India have 2 no results, and SL and Aus only have 1 each.
I'm confused
India 8
Aust 7
SL 6
*scratching head*
Hang on, wasnt that thrashing that Aust gave SL a Twenty20 game??
Was it??
I'm asking the questions here!!
hahahhhhaaaa
HAHAHAHAHA
My memory is worse than yours.... so you gotta do the answering!
I dunno, i've got egg timers disease, remember?
LOL!
AHHHhhh.... yeah, it's all confused in my head, what with the wash outs and T/20s.
Okay, that makes sense then
Wild weather heading this way tonight, storm & gale force winds predicted.
Better batten down the hatches.
I've just thought of a idea of how to drought proof Australia........
Build a big cricket ground near every city's water storage, and when the water gets low, put on a test match or ODI. 
ROFL!!!
There is evidence that that would work eh?
I think it has been proven to work. (it does up here in Brissie anyway)
Feb has always been our wettest month, and that is when they schedule most of the cricket here.
Aust V Sri Lanka, ODI at the WACA, It's on this afternoon.
It's a day-nighter, and it starts at 2.30pm AEST & 3.30 pm AEDT. (at least that's when the telecast starts, the game will prob start ½ an hour later).
Looks like being a late night.
I can't tell you how happy that makes me.... I now have something to look forward to at the end of the day!
Hopefully Sri Lanka can put up a good performance
Hopefully Sri Lanka can put up a good performance
Hopefully Australia can put up a good performance
That's the worry... that they will and SL will be all bowled out in 15 overs!
My son just rang and invited me for dinner (at his house) and watching the cricket.
It's an offer I couldn't refuse.
I think SL will make a good game of it, they're not the easybeats they once were.
I hope so.... remember that terrible game they had against Aust recently?
Yeah, but they've improved since then.
Hope so
Aust are 2/92....20th over
hehehe I completely forgot about it (
) and was on my way to the cricinfo site when you posted.
Thanks!
It's a pleasure
2/137 from 27
So cricket has started again, 45 mins after I thought it would 
SL just made 16 runs in the first over!
Whoops....
2/35 now
I didn't get home till around midnight, but I had a good night.
It was a good game to watch, and Aust didn't get the upper hand intill late in the SL innings.
Just as well Gilly made a big score or Aust would have been in lots of trouble.
Hayden 4, and Symonds 3, left something to be desired with their batting, but both later redeemed themselves by taking some brilliant catches. Symonds diving catch in particular was really great.
So now on to Adelaide tomorrow (Sun), to see Aust do battle with India.
It should be a great game and I am very much looking forward to it.
Game starts at 1.00pm AEST, or 2.00pm AEDT, on Ch 9.
Looks like another hour long (TV) break between innings. (I think)
D'oh!
Yeah, Australia did well to win that one.
SL innings were boring though. Started of great, but then seems like they just decided to stand at the wickets rather than try and get some runs!
I have to admit, I didn't even watch the whole thing
Ok, we are into the 12th over and Aust are 2/43.
Gilly went for 15 and Ponting for 10.
They just got wicket no 3!
3/44
Yeah, that's not good. (from my point of view)
Ponting is having a bad trot, batting wise.
Terrible really....
If he weren't the captain, he'd have been dropped ages ago
Reminds me a bit of Greg Chappell, who made about 6 ducks in a row and then turned around and scored a double century.
Wonder if Punter can do that??
*thinks*
Naaaaahhhh
Symonds out for 3.
woo hoo!!
But then there're still Hussey and Clarke here
woo hoo!!
Boo hoo!! 
Hussey and clarke will each make 150+
It's not beyond them...
On present form it is.
Clarke has been doing ok... and Hussey has bailed them out more than once?
Hmmm, I spose so
But it's okay... Sreesanth and Sharma will take care of them
Well Sharma is certainly bowling brilliantly.
Sreesanth just bowled a maiden.
Noice...
Hussey out
5/77
hhahaha I was sitting right here and I missed that!
Hopes out for 19!
D'oh!! Aust have to last till 6pm. So that we don't miss anything during the stoopid news
No, they only have to last till 5pm.AEST
Eh? That's like 6 minutes away!
No it's not, it's 1 hour 4 mins away!
errrm... it's 4.56 now
Unless Daylight Saving happened and I'm in a time warp
It's 3.57 here.
Ah yes! You're an hour behind...
But you said AEST up there?
Yeah, but you're on AEDT!
OH
hahahaha
kekekeke
Hogg goorne for 32!
7/184
Aust will be flat out to reach 200 at this rate
I thought they should make it
oops
clarke out!
Shite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9/203 after 50
How much you wanna bet India will mess this one up?
Then again, Aust don't have Brett Lee, so maybe india have a chance
I think anything can happen now, it's anybody's game.
Oops my last post just went MIA? (wasn't important anyway)
It was about putting out the wheely bins!
Wheely and truely!!!!!
LOL!
Yeah, you're right.... it can go either way
(time to run some errands before it starts
)
Wheely bins out, dinner cooked, just knocked the top off a stubby of Tooheys Old, and am settling down for some serious cricket watching.
India 1/50
Pathan out 14.
2/55
They're falling like flies sprayed with Baygon
4/59
oops, Gambhir and Sharma out.
4/59
Yeah, looks like the pitch must be tricky
4/70 from 19
4/89
Aust need a wicket! (have to get the Baygon out again)
Baygon worked, Yuvraj out!
5/115 from 28
5/125 from 32
D'oh!!
Just when it was looking good for India
Scary times now
I think that India are favourites to win at the moment.
Aust need more Baygon.
Dhoni and runner run out!
hey this Baygon is good stuff
(still running in and out of kitchen)
Harbajhan out
7/141
I have to run from lounge room.
hahahaha
Tis almost over
Dek is not happy with India. No, not happy at all
8/154
Utappa out! *spelling*
*sob*
It's been a good game to watch!
Poor deezee
yeah, at least was exciting at times
It's not over yet.
hahaha we both know it is
9/152
Still one wicket
They couldn't even stop Aust getting the bonus point
They only need 52 runs.
hahahahah
only...
Can't believe it's still going
whoops.... spoke too soon
Gooorne all out for 153
India, I shall not forgive you for losing this one
Never mind, your adopted country had a win!
C'mon SL!!!
Grrrrrr
Catch ya tomorrow deezee.
See ya!
LOL.
grrrrr
ROTB
hehehe
Sri Lanka are batting.
They are 2/ 68 after 21overs.
No (FTA) TV coverage.
Oh! It's Tuesday!
No tv coverage?? They much be playing India
That's right!
2/80 off 23.
B@st@rds
Unforgivable
B@$ta®d$ allright
Time like these I hate the aussie media for being so aussie-centric.
It's like when they only show the aussies playing at wimbledon.
Not showing today's match is a clear indicator
In todays paper Ch 9 boss said that because of the poor ratings of the ODI's when Aust were not playing, that they were not showing todays game.
Instead of the Cricket, we will be treated to such gems as...Here's Humphrey, Days of our Lives, Monster House, and Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
That's sure to help their ratings.
SL...4/161 after 39
grrrrrrrrrrrr
Channel 9 are the epitome of the modern day fuck wit.
^ Language warning in the preceding post.
LOL!
And I completely agree....
I could have done with some distraction tonight
It could even be said the other way around.
It could even be said the other way around.
You may well say that, because no one saved the Governor general.
Hmmm?
hahahaha
BBC tells me India won. And that Yuvraj finally came good....
...and that it was a fine batting display
dek is not happy
You didn't want India to win?????
I'm not happy that I didn't get to see it
Ohhhhh
Neither am I
hehehe
yeah....
Wait till Friday..........
Aust V SL at the MCG, and It's on TV
Starting at 1.00pm AEST or 2.00pm AEDT. (on Ch 9)
I hope that my TV guide is wrong, as it says that the cricket finishes at 5.00pm and doesn't restart until 6.30pm. (these times are in AEST)
Hmmm... an hour and a half break in play? I think not
Just had a look at the on line TV guide for Friday and it shows the same thing.
Sigh
We'll find out on Friday I guess
Bloody Ch 9.
Eggactly
Aust are 1/32 in 15th.
Gilly out for 6.
Aust 2/39
Hayden out
OOoooooo
Are they playing SL?
Yes indeed and making heavy going of it.
2/42--16
Whoa.... very low run rate too
Ponting run out for 11.
Aust 3/44
Woo hoo!
I mean... oops
Boo hoo!
Symonds only made 11.
4/84--31st
Whoa!
What's the score now?
4/100
Slow scoring!
You got that right!
4/109--37
What's going on andro? Is this a slow pitch or something, or are the batsmen kinda out of it?
Oops sorry deezee, I got called away and don't know what happened.
No worries
Aust ended up 7/184 after 50 overs.
That must be a tricky pitch??
Or our batsmen are ratshit
Whoa.... I don't think Aust have posted that low a score in a loooong loooong time!
I get home, turn on the tv, and see that SL are at 2/30++
They aren't faring much better!
Whoops. There goes Jayawardena.
3/42
Bloody rain, Just got home (AGAIN) and watched about 10mins of cricket and the heavens opened
Every thing that could happen today, did happen.
Got it all sorted now though. (I hope)
They just said that the game could be over........If it is, then Duckshit Lewis will pronounce Aust winners.
They reckon that more bad weather is on the way
Not fair.... it's just not fair!!!
*throws tantrum*
Bloody Mexico......
hahahahah
I would kick the cat if it hadn't died nine years ago.
hahahaha
You're bored aren't ya?
The covers are coming off!
D'oh
And looks like they're back on again
Yep, and pi..ed off.
busy all day, then hurry home to watch the end of the cricket, and what happens
OOh covers coming off, andro is smiling again
HAHAHAHAH
It's like the weather is reading this and deciding to play with us!
Might grab some din din while the weather makes its mind up
Ok deezee, catch yuu later
Another bloody washout.
yeah.... and looks like Aust did enough to make it to the finals
Isn't that good?
The Ind v SL games are otherwise known as the play off for second and third.
hahahaha
Muahahahha
Aust won the toss and decided to bat.
1/100. (Gilly out)
Whoa... I just started watching abt an hour ago, and they were already so far ahead!!
No hope for India today
Oh wait, except Clarke just got out
Ponting made 124.
5/309 --- 49
