Re: The Official Cricket Thread Yeah well then you are a fan of the team not the sport. Congratulations and all to Warner but Glenn Mcgrath could hit fifty off that bowling. I don't watch 20-20,it's boring, I don't expect Test cricket to become it.

and for the record I never said Obama had a good record on human rights, I said that the future of human rights in the United States was in the hands of Democrats. The only Republicans to have occupied the white house in the post war era have been hardline, big government, evangelical conservatives.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Absolutely pathetic, this series is more boring than 2006/2007.

Don't ask don't tell. Of course you probably disagreed with that, you are a conservative after all.

Sure just rile off expletives rather then engage. Conservative in libertarians clothing.

No, I'm saying progress will only come through the Democrats,

If George Bush had selected the Supreme Court in 1954 Clarence Thomas would have never gotten to go to Law School.

Oh come on, don't make dig up nitty gritty material, you know that's a lot of tosh. The libertarian wing of the republican party are not in the business of occupying the Whitehouse.

You're not seriously rooting for the Republicans in the real election are you? This Ron Paul stuff I could understand, Pie in the sky dreams about the little libertarian that could but take Paul out of the equation and the Republicans are a party of bible bashing, gun-toting trigger happy police...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread I can't help feeling that while Siddle appears to be the mainstay of the group at the moment, he is going to have a really harsh fall from grace the minute he shows mildly questionable form. Hilfenhaus can be such a strong new ball bowler as his proven this...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Not if they don't get them early, you still need someone who can keep the pressure on, restrict scoring and get through the overs quickly.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Believe me I'm not a fan of Lyon, but I've never seen a game where four seam bowlers played significant roles. The few times I've seen it happen the first three seize the initiative early and the fourth is made redundant, or the batsman get on top and to give...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Yeah ok that's one against me but if you look at how the match panned out the fourth seamer then (Siddle) prove pretty well pointless, You will observe at Perth both last year and in 2008 that the spin bowler for the touring side took more wickets than the 4th...

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Interesting I wonder when the last time Australia played four seamers at home was. My guess in in 2009, against India, after leading 2 nil in the series I think they added Shaun Tait to the test side. India won the test comfortably.

How so?

Re: The Official Cricket Thread Historic trend is not to change a winning side mid series unless the wins are tentative.

Yeah if the 600 year old atlast was constantly being reviewed, updated, debated upon etc.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread That is possible.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread That invalidates nothing I've said. If Australia cannot bowl them out in two days they have little claim to deserving victory. If he doesn't have faith in the ability of his bowlers to take ten wickets in six sessions he needs to get some new bowlers urgently.

How is it archaic?
