Fried Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 David Warners 180 in the 3rd test against India was one of the best bats I've seen in a long long time. I think that type of batting can really revolutionise and reinvigorate test match cricket. Was a great knock. Australia dominating India 3-0 in the tests, one more to go before the one dayers/20/20 start up early next month. Also been a domestic 20/20 comp going on here that I haven't really been following.

Ewok_3000 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Apparently NZ is the 2nd best 20/20 nation in the world. I heard it on the sports show I watch, "The Crowd Goes Wild". One of the 2 hosts is former Black Cap, Mark Richardson. But yeah, if NZ is the 2nd best 20/20 nation in the world, then that's pretty sweet. I believe Australia is 4th.

Herb. Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 T20 is probably their best form. However, I would still expect England, South Africa, India and Australia to beat them. I'd rank NZ along with Pakistan, ahead of SL and WI who usually rely on one player to win them the match (Malinga for SL, Gayle for WI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Australia won the toss and are 3/98 first day of the 4th test against India. Ponting and Clark batting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELETED Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Australia won the toss and are 3/98 first day of the 4th test against India. Ponting and Clark batting. And they're batting again now. Ponting's passed 250 runs for the match now. Pup not far behind. India must be having nightmares about Ponting, tonned up against them in the World Cup too.

The Third Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Good to see Australia getting back to some good form. Really love Ben Hilfenhaus' work, along with some great batting from Ponting and Clarke. I really thought India would be more of a test, but they looked really average.

Ewok_3000 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 NZ managed to beat Zimbabwe in the test. However, they lost Ross Taylor. He won't be back till the test with South Africa in 3-4 weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb. Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 So India finally beat Australia, with relative ease aswell. Should be a good ODI series, two strong outfits. England also getting the better of Pakistan today, although barely. Both teams have batted awfully as has been the general theme throughout the entire series. Saw a stat earlier that in the entire series, England's middle order have scored as follows; Pieterson 49, Bell 41, Morgan 51. Simply awful. Morgan's place is definitely under threat, he has had ample opportunities and doesn't seem convincing as a test player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewok_3000 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 New Zealand beat Zimbabwe in the first ODI of the series. They play 2 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 India have been most disapointing this summer. To think that before they came down there was talk amongst the local press that Australia would struggle with them. It's been quite the opposite. I think it's Australia vs Sri Lanka in a 50 over game over in Perth today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fried Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Clark injured. Ponting named captain of the one day team to take on Sri Lanka on Friday. Again. Bad choice IMO. Does nothing for the future of the team. Warner's vice-captain, they should of given him a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb. Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Umar Gul just gave away 3 no balls in a row, in which KP hit 1, Cook then smashing a 4 and a 6. Wonder if anything will be investigated after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#NGMovement Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Id just say it was bad luck, they surely would know now not to match fix. Ricky Ponting has been dropped in the ODI series due to poor form, i dont get how you can drop someone you just gave captaincy to tbh despite the form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dje_wba Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 It has been quite a while since anyone posted in this thread, but I thought I had to type a post to celebrate Warwickshire winning the County Championship. After the disappointment of missing out on the title on the final day of last season, it is a slight relief that the team have this year managed to clinch the title with a game to spare. Hopefully the team can now go on to win the CB40 for the 2nd time in 3 years and do a double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fried Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 South Africa dominated with the bat on the first day. Didn't see any play yesterday, was probably rained out. Probably works in Australia's favour as I can't see them bowling SA out twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Really proud of the Aussies after yesterdays play. Cowan got 136, Clark unbeaten on 218no with Hussey 86no overnight. For them to come back with a small chance of winning it is amazing. Clarks said his plan is to get 100 ahead and throw the dice and see how SA like the pressure.
