Who saw Australia's FLOGGING of Bangladesh on the weekend?!

We managed to keep them to their lowest score on a ODI ever..

Oh, and my mum went to the match! which was kinda annoying because she called me everytime someone got out saying "did you see that?!" and I would say no, mum, we are half an hour delayed telecast.... and she stopped calling after about the 4th out.

But yeah... GO Australia!!

When was the telecast?

I totally missed it

On saturday..

Poor old Roy the Boy (Symonds) didn't make many runs!  Actually he didn't make any runs, as he was dropped from the team and sent home in disgrace, for going fishing instead of attending a compulsory team meeting on friday..

Silly bugger....

ya gotta love that though.... go to darwin, slack off, go fishing..... I know most of you wont 'get it' but it is such a darwin thing to do...

I lived there.... I understand.....

but yeah, is he dropped from the team forever?

I get it, it's a Queensland thing as well, I love fishing.

But then again Ive never missed an Aust cricket team meeting to go fishing. (come to think of it, I've never been asked to attend an Aust cricket tram meeting).

I don't know if it's forever, but he's stuffed up a couple of times before. (discipline wise)

Yeah... he's always pulling stunts like those

Damn.... we had cricket and I missed it.

See what happens when you don't have a comp?!?! grrrr

They play again on wednesday.. or maybe its thursday..

And it'll be on Ch 9?

W00t!! It's cricket season!!

Yup!

Hooray..

Awww man... I couldn't be any happier today

Life is good

Me too! So many things have gone right for me today!

(now just watch everything fall to pieces tomorrow...)

Me three!

Shhh.... speak not of unspeakable things...

It's spring, and we have cricket.... what could possibly go wrong!?

Yes!! that, in my opinion, is the best news I could hear!

*grabs Morgan's hand and does the happy dance*

Yep, cricket is on Ch 9, Wed & Sat 10.30-6.00pm

Great....  probably won't get to see it on Wed. Will have to clear schedule on Sat in that case

Tennis (men's ¼ finals) on Thurs morn 3.00am..continued Fri 9.30am-12.30pm.

Oops......

Excellent! Finally some tennis!

Yes!

HAHAHAH @ the smiley

Over here andro

Ah yes......

I thought this was the tennis forum....

LOL!

Aust 0/17 off 4 overs,,

Ok, I'm now taking bets as to in which over Aust make it...

Ummm.....20?

I'll say.... 26

Ok....

What's the score now?

0/40 off 8

Hmmm.... close... very close

Hi-5 is on tv at the moment, cricket back at 2.00pm.

bloody hell! They put Hi 5 ahead of cricket?

I think they may be having lunch.. (it is Darwin)

Ahhhh... yes... In that case, I forgive em... but not for airing high 5

Yes well I'm not exactly watching it at the mo..

hang on they are about to cross back to Darwin....

0/59 off10

I'm gonna win andro!

Mmmmm, I dunno....

2/79 off14

D'oh!

2/87 off 17

only 31 runs required

2/96 off 20..

It's gonna be close, deezee..

I think you have the edge..

C'mon Aussies! Slow down!!

2/106 off 21

Too close to call.....

EEK!

2/118 of 22.4

I winz......

Just by a fly's fart..

Or two balls....

No... they went beyond your prediction... so I win!

Do fly's have balls?

Wikipedia might have the answer

but they didn't reach your prediction.

Get Morgan to look it up on Wiki....

Me thinks we need Morgan to decide who won first....

Ok, she can be the umpire..

Okay, set

Neither of you.

dekrazee1

andromeda

dekrazee1

They didn't make it in either of them.

So there.

Grrrrr

But I was closest.....

I would actually say Dek was... They past the 20th over, but not the 26th..

Seeeeee andro?!

Yeah, but they never got to the 23rd over, which is halfway....so there...

Pay up deezee.....

Hrrrmph!

Be careful... you'll need to pay a fine if you disagree with the ump!

Oooh, I'm scared.....

hahahahah

Muahahaaaaa

The ref was biased..........

Oh really?

Yep, I have it from a good source.........ME

Morgan, fine him!!

Well... I'll only get annoyed if he goes fishing....

Fishing??

Like Symonds...

LOL! I just got it (as I came back into this topic)

hehehe.....

So I winz then, cause I aint been fishin since then....

grrrrrr

Right, lets settle this.

First one to tell me ALL the possible ways a batsman can get 'out' (10)

AND

ALL the umpires signals (14)

will win.

And you have to do it all in one post, or it won't count.

LBW, run out, caught out... errrrmmmm

OK, here we go.....

1. Caught.
2. Bowled.
3. LBW.
4. Run out.
5. Stumped
6. Handled ball.
7. Timed out.
8. Double hit.
9. Hit wicket.
10. Obstructing the field.

And the umpires signals are.........

1. Dead ball
2. No ball
3. Out
4. Four
5. Five penalty runs (to the batting side)
6. Leg bye
7. Revoking the last signal
8. Signalling commencement of the last hour
9. Signalling a short run
10. Wide
11. Six
12. Byes
13. Five penalty runs. (to the fielding side)
14. New ball

Wrong.

And no dek, you don't win by default, just clearing that up.

The list has to be complete and correct.

Ok I win (again)

But I am prepared to concede victory to deezee, if she will take me with her when she goes to the Singapore GP.. 

But your list isn't right andro

And it's not wrong either..

Yes it is. ")

IT's right

You were very close, I'll say that much

Where is it wrong???????????????

I can't tell you because dek hasn't posted a list yet... and the half-hearted attempt doesn't count...

I don't want to give anything away now...

Grrrrrrrrrr

Morgan, that wasn't a half-hearted attempt....

I exhausted all my knowledge right there

LOL! this is the internet dek... there are ways of finding out these things...

And here I thought I was being honest by not looking it up on the web....

*sigh*

Are you suggesting that I was being dishonest, and looked it up on the web..

Deezee, how could you..

Mais non!

*throws hands up in the air*

I assumed you typed out everything you knew. I have no doubt you know more about the laws of the game than I do!

I was only referring to Morgan's suggestion

Of course you were, silly me for thinking otherwise..

Yes... silly you!

grrrrr

hehehehe

So, no cricket action these days?

Well Aust tour India next month and the domestic season "Sheffield Shield" will begin soon.

Were hoping Ponting and Hayden will have recovered by then..

When will Ponting retire?

I think he's still got a few years left in him, but I really don't know.. I don't recall it being discussed, but I imagine he's coming to the end of his career.

I really thought he'd have retired by now.... esp when we had that mass exodus last year

I'm expecting a recall any time now..

LOL!

They're not doing too badly.....

6. Handled Ball

Is that why they wear a protector ... or box as they are called?

11. Handled someone else's ball

Never seen that in all my years of watching cricket... does it happen a lot?

Batsmen adjusting themselves? Happens by the minute.

And no 11?

Hmmm?

That would be Rugby Union.

A game built around the Christmas Handshake.

LOL!

ew..

Oh, and just for the record....

The only signal that andro missed was for the 'third umpire' aka 'television replay'

Penalty runs counts as one signal, even though they are slightly different for batting and fielding teams.

Everything else was correct.

Whoa.... great effort andro!

Well there was no TV when the rules were written....

What do I win??

A cup of tea.

Oh, and the silly little competition you had going with Dek

Wot......no beer??

and yeah, cough up deezee....

What??

Isn't 'good effor' enough for ya?

I guess not ay

hehehe
