Is “firt” a cricket term?
it’s sibeen so god knows.
Now Fuck is when we are going well?
Fuck Off is when we are doing badly?

Ah, hence the autocorrect of “firts”.

Nah, Fuck is when Aussies are batting and someone gets out (ie we are doing badly). Fuck off is when Australia are bowling and they get an opposition batsman out.

Okay Thanks sibeen.
So Fuck Off is Australia going well.
Fuck Australia is bad.
That kind of makes more sense as well.

wow
an echo
Joe says to me, “You know fuck nothing.”
But I says to him, “I know fuck ALL!”
The lads did good, there was one stage where they were fighting off some good bowling, hardly any runs being scored.
Something had to give, then Smith brought on the spinner and he went for about 12, the shackles were broken, the big bronzed Anzacs had weathered the attack and then mounted a steady counter, it was magnificent to watch them, the sun on their back, wind in their hair.
FUCK

if we could just get to 400 I’ll take it.
Not bad, considering where we were early yesterday.

Haha – bummer – all out 397.

Change of innings interlude.
“Whilst we will all blame the Admiral for our failure to reach the 400 mark, and rightly so IMHO, I can say with some confidence that the Australians would be happy with their total of 397. “

was reading the other day that Craig McDermott said Johnson is bowling as well, if not better, as anyone he’s ever seen… Apparently he was umpiring a inter squad match the other day where MJ yorked Chris Rodgers. The ball was angled in on leg and is swung very late and took out his off stump.

Dennis Lillee called him a once in a generation bowler a few years ago. Glad he is living up to it.
Glad to see Shaun Marsh doing well. Story goes that at the private school he attended the footy coach decalred him the best ever Australian Rules footballer ever to produced by the school, and that school has produced many AFL players including Brownlow medalists. But he chose cricket instead.

Right now, if there was an option to pay someone a fee for a legit and legal online stream or smartphone/tablet app – I’d pay it.
Just this week I signed up for the season for the AFL’s live streaming app. Cost me ~$90 but I reckon it’s worth it. 8 months worth of matches to watch, so a about $11.25 per month, which works out to less than $3 per week.
i’d happily pay $5-$10 per test match so I can go to bed with my tablet and watch it.

SE Marsh seems to managed it ok. This time last week he was playing in the T20 final in Perth and made 63 off 40-something. Then got on a plane to South Africa and made 148 from 228. Lots of others manage it too.

Yes but Marsh is a far greater sportsman capable of turning his hand to any discipline with less arty farty tantrums.

Dropped again?
He’s on a roll then.OK, that’s tea. Australia 1/147, a lead of 338. Warner on 93 (yes, droppy, 93) and Doolan on 48.
Realistically, coming into this game I was quite worried. Here we were dropping out most tangible asset, Cook the England Captain, and I wasn’t sure that he could be replaced. Be still my beating heart, enter one Graeme Smith, has stepped into the breach with magnificent aplomb. Sending Australia into bat – sheer genius. Bowling changes – utter brilliance.
50 for Doolan, in his first game. Justifies his selection ahead of Hughes IMHO. Hughes would have got frustrated and got out before reaching double-figures.
Warner may be having a problem.

Seems to be. Bleeding from a cut to the ear. But he seems to be calm and collected while the medical team are patching him up.
the ball hit the helmet over the ear gaurd, and he was still bleeding underneath the helmet. Can only be thankful for helmets – can’t bear to think what if he wasn’t wearing one that struck him straight to the head…

They used to not wear helmets. Some of them were seriously injured. I’m reasonably sure thta you couldn’t prove to the police officer that a cricketers helmet would save you when you weren’t wearing your seatbelt though.

Yes. That could be classed as a serious injury.
Anyway, I can’t watch the cricket and currently no headphones work so I can’t listen to it. Everybody else is and there’s no running commentary. I may as well go back out and watch to see who is wandering around in the dark outside my back door.
MJ now has as many career tenfers as McGrath, though in fairness the latter had to split wickets with Warne.

Lee was pretty fast, at his fastest.
On the other hand, at his fastest, he was pretty ineffective at test level… he just couldn’t be fast and accurate at the same time. He was better around the 135 mark, if memory serves.

ROFL at Krazy Krejza in that list. 12 wickets in his first match. 1 wicket in his second. Never played test cricket again.

Why does your family have to suffer because of the South Africans?

If Johnson’s going to continue to be unplayable then I might have to yet foxtel

Nice one Witty.
The Saffers have at least not tried to take any positives out of the crushing defeat, they are realists.
Unlike the poms who kept looking for some sports psychologist type bullshit positives to take out of every walloping.
“Oh yes we were beaten” they’d say “But although he didn’t score any runs or get any wickets and dropped four catches that chap Giles Ashford-Smyth looked spiffing in his English Blazer.”

Works for me.
Mind you, I’d pay for a legit streaming source. I already subscribe to the AFL app, the Cricket Australia app and the Australian basketball app, for a small fee each. First port of call I went to the Cricket Australia app but it wasn’t available there being an overseas series. So I went looking for live streams online instead. If this series was available for say $10-15 I’d sign up in an instant.

As good as Mitchell Johnson was during the Ashes, he was never this good. South Africa are the world’s No.1-ranked side, by a distance. They entered this match having lost only one of their past 19 Tests. Johnson not only dismantled them as a team, he almost dismembered them as individuals. He took a career-best 12 wickets as Australia cruised to a 281-run victory but just as important were the physical blows he landed. South Africa will not forget how intimidated they felt.
As in the first innings, AB de Villiers was the only South Africa batsman who looked truly comfortable against Johnson. The rest were ill-equipped to handle his speed and bounce. He smashed Hashim Amla on the grille of the helmet first ball. He made Ryan McLaren bleed from the side of the head with an accurate bouncer. He jarred Vernon Philander on the fingers, then broke his bat. Those South Africans who merely lost their wickets were lucky.
