TEST CRICKET ZOMG

FUCK YES. Turn on TV to see 77-7 and Ponting Golden Duck ahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Man.....Jacque Kallis is such a badman. The rest of this Proteas team look pretty soft atm but he resembles a rock as always. You safas are gonna be pretty rooted when he retires

Yeah was a good days play to watch yesterday. Some of those Aussies got out with some awful shot selection (Hussey, Haddin etc) which shows these current players don't have the application to last out good bowling on a helpful pitch. They kept trying to hit their way out of trouble. It doesn't always work like that gentlemen!

Kallis is a rock mate but by no means does SA rely on him. If anything Smith is our match winner as he has proven time and time again.

I like our new seam attack without Ntini and we are now short a opening partner for Smith and then all will be restored. Morkel with his 150km + bouncers is rattling a few people and I love it best I have ever seen him bowl.

But more importantly Im about to go and glue myself to the TV to see Pakistan take a test win in Australia This will be up there with the most enjoyable moments in cricket!

Go Pakistan!

Jesus christ... was a fucking shambles

How on earth did they lose that

Woeful catching again. The keeper dropped Hussey 3 times yesterday. Might have only had to chase 50 odd.

They should have been able to get 176 though ...but then again like NZ they are masters of the batting collapse.

Match fixed IMO

Was only a matter of time before people would start with the match fixing claims.

I didn't see the match, but suspect it's more a case of Pakistan being gutless than a bunch of cheats.

ya I find it hard to believe Akmal would be up fopr something like that. He's a pup.

Why did you yaya's feel the need to set England well over 400? I would have thought you wouldhave backed your attack more than that. Especially being one down in the series

edit: Not trying to stat a fight ok. Geniune question

Uhmmm why not? that is the dumbest questin ever. Close to 500 and more than 4.5 sessions to bowl them out ... seems like the perfect thing to do.

always yelling at me

And look at that... England amble to a draw, SA didn't leave themselves enough time to bowl them out

Gotta laugh at that shit really. 2 insane draws saved by England and a total dustup in between.



gc.

Huge day for the Proteas!

Fucken insane once again. Morkel is on fire and really coming into his own in this series, with him and Steyn with the new ball I see bad times for most openers.

Englands luck is surely running out and the machine that is the SA test team is starting to work again ...

Luck?

Yes, they were lucky that SA suck at strategy and batted wayyyy too long in the second innings so they didn't have enough time to bowl England out

stfu if you don't know anything about cricket.

Well, I thought that at the time. So did Maestro. Turns out we were right and your silly team lost

Huh?

They gave themselves enough time, but the bowlers didn't sack up and do their job.

Edit: Stop being so results oriented ya fkn nit :>>>>>

Fucken Pakis drop 'player of the decade' Punter on zero and revive his form & obvious attitude slump. Fuck's sake now he'll come here and PLUNDER us in a couple of months.

ARGHHHHHH



gc.

Always fucken happens to one of these Aussies. Isn't it a kiwi that dropped Hayden while he was in the worst form slump of his career and then went on to destoy attacks for a good part of 2-3seasons?

Fucken Pakis need a fielding coach this is ridiculous!

Think that was Dan actually!



gc.

And Ponting goes on to make a double hundred... :/

And again Smith and Amla slaying the England bowlers ... Just reinforces my opinion that Amla needs to open and Price move back into #5 posistion where he has been scoring all his runs.

GONNA FKN SPEW IF THE POMS GET OUT OF JAIL 'COS OF RAIN!! :/

SUCK IT YA SOOKY POMS!

So sick the Proteas only ended up drawing the series after being so dominant for the majority of the time :/

Yeah but Im not to concerned about it. There is a few cogs in the wheel that needed to be fixed and I think going to India now will show how good we really are. Losing Steyn to injury put him out for two tests really and having Prince at the top was never a good idea. Not convinced about a full pace attack and Im sure Harris will be back for the tour of India in a couple of weeks ... I cant remember who the new spinner is but I believe they are trying to get his paper work in order so he can play for us.

Looking forward to this Indian series ... hope its on Sky!

Ya it was, dan at mid on in the 1st over off Mills. The game was widely regarded as Haydens very last chance. Instead he got to go to the world cup and plunder everyone. Worst drop EVER

The goddamn Pakis also dropped Watson on 99 when he didnt have a test ton and keeeped getting out in the 90's. So gross

dreaming

I guess, its also very short notice so I doubt Sky would even know its happening

im sure there is some bullshit reason. Also, u 19 world cup, right here, no coverage at all. WTF, im starting to think sky just hates cricket.

Yeah bro, Sky have changed their program buying habits to reflect ratings.

If it doesn't rate very well, there's not much chance Sky is gonna pick it up I'm afraid

Yet they will happily show Aus vs. Pakis. I doubt that will pull more viewers than SA vs. India.

cunts the lot of them!

i dunno man, can you seriously say that pga replays, strongman shows, other other boring gheyball shit rates higher than SA vs India would, especially considering it would be mostly night time coverage anyway? FFS there 4 sports channels, when 3 of them have golf on at the same time its hard to believe that ratings are paramount in the programming process.

also, you cant tell me that the u 19 world cup would not have an epic worldwide audience, that sky could have cashed in on if they had secured the rights. The sub continent has cameras here from Star Sports , so all the Paki's, Indians, Afghanis' and Banglis can watch their boys.

Money is a massive issue here however.

For the test series between SA and India they would say pay $1Million however to get a couple of weekend PGA tournaments to show would be $50K ... shit like that I was told before when I wrote them letters.

Still SA vs. India FFS!

and same when Australia was in Africa. Any games between the top 4 should have coverage FFS. Im seriously close to getting rid of sky and looking into Foxtel or Star or something. I only really have it for cricket and kids shows, the movie channels suck after a week, and the internet is well good enough to source what you need in that regard nowadays, even all the educational channels have gone to mud, epic repeats and average content currentl. ITS A GOD DAMN CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY IT IS. Even comedy central is getting average.

I'll ask my mate who works for Sky Sports what the deal is, but I'm pretty sure he said something about a new guy being in charge of buying these shows who's not keen at all on cricket if it's going to be watched by fuck all people.

SA - India would be fucking sick!!

I wouldnt underestimate golfs pulling power .... especially not compared to tests which only cricket tragics like us actually like

Quite suprised that you cant beat England at home.... yet you filthy saffas think youre gonna walk all over India away

If we draw series with Aus (possible) and beat the Bangers (probable), we must surely go ahead of the Pakis in the rankings?

LOOK OUT NUMBER 6!



gc.

I watched NZ beat Zimbabwe today?

Yeah there are definitely games on. I watched some of the opening match the other day.



gc.

You really are an idiot at times. Follow the game of cricket a little closer before you make stupid comments.

oh real, what channel? I must be blind as fuck

Do you mean like the "stupid comment" I made about Smith declaring too late?

Also not covering today's game vs AUSTRALIA wtf.



gc.

It's absurd that NZ vs Aus is not on tv.

Kallis!

Is JACQUE KALLIS actually gonna make a double ton?

CLASSIC. I don't think he will. It must be an immense mental hurdle now.

Do they have the review system in place over there atm?



gc.

wow. I wonder if he got out JUST as I posted that. Must have been close

Yeah I thought you'd just noticed and were pontificating as to the chances of JK ever making a double!



gc.

You horrible jinxy cunt :>

BTW ... no review system in action.

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

heh for sure. As well as posting.... at the same time I text *Re-ActIon* "27 to go!"....and was slightly perplexed when I got an angry reply

*refresh cricinfo*

Oh....whooops

Amla 253*

I didn't send you a angry reply ...

Fuck Kallis JOKE JOKE JOKE!! check out Steyn ... my lord! India getting a little bit of a hiding here!

BBI 7/51

Steyn is on the path to becoming a fast bowling great.

Ya, he's incredible

This morning I went on youtube to see if any of his wickets from this game were on there, and came across this footage I hadn't seen before:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeFX7AT_yVE

Morkel and Steyn are going to dominate opposition for years imo

I recon give Morkel another season and they will be insane to watch. Clocking around the 148 consistantly with a faster ball over 150 clicks ... I love it!

Day 3 hightlights here: http://www.crichotline.com/india-vs-south-africa-1st-test-2010-day-3-highlights-nagpur/

Maybe not by your standards, but "You fucking jinxed him ! you cunt!" is angry by most peoples .

Deserved far worse imo!

p.s. F U IRON_FIST YOU NIT!

:>

India got spanked, not such a road after all ...

Err - you missed a perfect opportunity to boast about your seemingly great fast bowler, and you say it's the pitch?

The result was much more about Steyn than the pitch dude. 4 players still scored hundreds on it - it was a flat.



gc.

Actually mate if you watched the game and read the reports you will find thats not true. The pitch was not a mine field but it wasn't as flat as what they expected. All four guys that scored runs in this test worked very hard for it. And yeah Steyn was fucken brilliant but we already knew that ...

Now for the killer blow on V-Day!

He was seemingly brliiant bro :>

QFSPA

(quoted for sick pun addition) :>

Been calling for Peterson to start for ages now. Glad he got a go ... brilliant batsman!

Prince will be dropped if he doesnt score in this test.

<3 Test Match cricket!

Awesome bowling from the Indians!

Sehwacking you Jaapie bastards :>>>

Man, what a thrashing. Four big centuries in one innings...

Pretty standard centuries by Indian pitch standards

Going to be a famous save here and Smith will write himself into the history books as one of the all time great captains!

The spinners will roll you today imo. Amla will bat on but run out of partners i predict. Pray for rain dirty saffas!

Sif SA needs rain. Our batsmen have HEART!!


*does rain dance*

Kallis is gone and Steyn is batting 8. You guys are dead in the water. Shame theres no 3rd test

68.1
Mishra to de Villiers, OUT, 78.2 kph, Dead plumb. Mishyyyyy! AB didn't pick the googly. It turned in from the off and middle line and broke back in. AB pushed outside the line and to his horror the ball turned in to catch him right in front of the middle. Gone! Amla stands alone. South Africa are wobbling here in Eden

AB de Villiers lbw b Mishra 3

165/5 Steyn is next man in......Not looking good fellas

urgh, totally forgot about Boucher not being there :/

1 session left 3 wickets in hand! Man why isnt this live

OMG, 70 BALLS TO SURVIVE!!

Test cricket: not at all exciting eh Maestro

It's exciting when SA lose. At any sport.



gc.

Not that one again. YES cricket *can* be exciting. Especially when it reaches its climax as well as a few other random moments. But GENERALLY the pace of play and nature of the game means it is NOT "exciting" Sheesh. I dunno why that one is so hard to understand

Too bad you couldnt hang on, but it would have been a bit of a fluke anyway. SA are not good enough to win a series in India really

hmmmm I should adjust that .....or someone wont talk to me for a few days. What I mean is a SA series victory would have been a suprising result. Especially given there were only 2 tests

Don't back pedal for that homo!
