Here's an interesting stat for you about Brett Lee.

My wife's best mate is from NSW and in no way interested in cricket but many years ago ended up playing hide the sausage with Bing. From all reports he has a functioning little Binga and is a good lover.

Every time he comes on TV the missus and I have a laugh.


Before or after his marriage??

Dunno about a hair transplant but Binga and Ponting have a rug I think like Doug the rug and Brent Guerra.
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Crowd in Brisbane terrible, again.

That is where the day/night experiment should have been. Per capita, ours is the best attended and should have been left alone.

Guaranteed success in Adelaide, so it will be easier to sell into other venues. Doesn't it rain every evening in Brisbane?

Sure does. Storms tend to roll in during the late afternoon/evening. No way to could have a day/night game up here particularly this time of year

New Zealand 9/276

Trust all the action to happen today and not yesterday where I had the whole day to watch it FFS. Anyhoo the boys should wrap this up quickly.

Bowled well in the second dig. hitting some good areas and while he is not express he is tall and can generate a bit of bounce.

You won't get a good crowd in Brisbane with the Test in November. Pisses down nearly every year. I went yesterday and saw one session. Brisbane should be the last test of the series. Another thing of note for this match was 'the ramp'. They need to level out the ground so the bowlers don't need climbing gear to get to the popping crease.

Warner was good, but for mine Williamson should have been man of the match.
He had the most impact on the game - if it wasn't for him, it would have been over early yesterday.

Man of the match is awarded to the guy who shapes the result of the match, not the one who prolongs the conclusion. Davey scored 300, Williamson scored 200. Davey set up the match and then made it a certainty with his second dig.

He would have been third for mine.

Weather prevents you playing day/night in Brisbane in early November.

Timezone prevents you playing it in Perth.

No real point doing it for Boxing Day/New Years (particularly as it would clash with Big Bash).

Leaves Adelaide and Hobart as their only options really

Didn't Heals bang on about the incline at every opportunity or what? Of course, old Chappelli, "wouldn't have put up with that in his day"...... :lol:

The story was the rise is just from the build up of the wicket area over the years, surely the groundsman can see this happening and level it off from time to time?

What's with the Perth time zone issue? :shock:

Answer - Don't start the ******* summer of cricket in the first week of November....EVER! It's crazy. They squeeze in 6 Tests in 9 weeks, 4 One Dayers in 8 days v India, along with some bollocks International T20's, the Big Bullshit...... it's greed, just greed.

Not sure why, I don't imagine the Weet Bix, Commonwealth Bank, VB Cricket Australia folks have any $$$ issues.
