Petyr's Little Finger Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 ooooooh god michael holding. :love: Best commentator in international cricket IMO. Ian Bishop and Tony Cozier are good too, the WI produced good cricketers and commentators, shame that their cricket is going down :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Good christ, I am not going to make it to the AUS-ENG match (if it ever happens). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petyr's Little Finger Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 England win the toss and bowl first. Come on Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brAnthelAstgreenseer Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Aussies have put a huge score here, don't think England will be anywhere near it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petyr's Little Finger Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 NZ has beaten SL by 98 runs, good win for them. And good on Finn for getting a hat trick but I think it will be in vain. 343 will be really tough for England to get, probably too tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brAnthelAstgreenseer Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 England are making Mitch Marsh look like the best bowler in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petyr's Little Finger Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Good catch from Smith and what are England doing, they are just crumbling towards a huge loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Well I'm in first position in the league at the moment, but I doubt it's going to last. But damn if I'd picked Anderson over Boult I would have amassed a huge number of points from his batting and bowling efforts. I went with Kane Williamson as my captain. Not sure I'll pick up many points from the Eng/Aus game As I only have Broad and Johnston from those teams. They seems to have done an OK job for their sides but not the best. Ugh, I just realised I picked Broad as an all rounder, so his duck is going to hurt me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andriy Czarchenko Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Quite an interesting ending there. Shame for Taylor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petyr's Little Finger Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Good to see the Aussies register a win, still a really really unlucky way to miss out on a century. Poor James Taylor he played brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 I did literally ten times better out of the England v Australia game. I had Finch, Finn, Root and Taylor in that one. Ronchi and Dilshan had me stone motherless last in the NZ game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I fucked up in the Aus/Eng game. Had Faulkner in my team (wasn't sure whether or not he will be fit to play). I meant to wake up at 5am to check the starting XI, overslept and ended up with a player who didn't even play. My alternatives to Faulkner were going to be either Finch or Hazelwood.

Hereward Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Pleased I had Finn and Taylor, but wish I'd remembered to set a captain who was playing today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeor Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Fairly predictable win for Australia - a shame the marquee opening game wasn't a nailbiter, but there will be plenty of cricket to be played over the coming month. Taylor is definitely hard done by on that chance for a century - don't think there should have been a runout after the LBW decision. Some people might say that you can get run out after an LBW appeal (e.g. if it were turned down, ball is still live and you can run them out), but once the decision is given in the affirmative I think that should be it for the play. Thank goodness we have decent commentators too. They've brought in all the international ones instead of having the parochial Australian cheerleading squad, and it's already made the games more bearable.

Consigliere Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I thought that should have been a dead ball as well. Umpire gave Taylor out lbw before Maxwell affected the run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petyr's Little Finger Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The umpire raised the finger before the ball hit the stumps? Then it is dead ball, simple as that. Thank goodness we have decent commentators too. They've brought in all the international ones instead of having the parochial Australian cheerleading squad, and it's already made the games more bearable. :agree: Finally able to watch an Australia game in Australia without listening to James Brayshaw. Thank heavens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubby Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Huh. I went from boiled lollies to chocolates, there. Dead last to 2nd. But I forgot to check the lists as well - I still had Doherty in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
