Watching a fair bit of NFL.



Would that be because slacker customers like Booney take 5 day weekends? 8)

Exactly.

My drive in this morning, I got a clear run from Semaphore, through the Port (Dutch Coffee Lab stop) all the way to Regency Park. I reckon there was about 25% of the usual traffic.

Very bittersweet. Got a good run in, but that meant I was going to be "in". And it's slow as f**k because Booneys on holidays.

Pretty sure Australia play India tonight in a T20 at the Adelaide Oval.

Move with the times my man. I guess you have the right to vote with your feet and eyes and not go or watch, but the rest of us are too...

One good thing about T20 is that it makes the one day 50 over stuff look a bit more like the real thing...

scoring 340 from 50 overs isnt that much different...

So higher scores from less innings is a bad thing?

True. I said a "bit more".

I find the bowling and fielding strategy, and sustained concentration required, more interesting than some swipe merchant lashing out at nearly every ball as if it is a baseball match.

Absolutely. A mug's game if you're a bowler. T20 might as well have one of those tennis machines firing balls at a batsman.

disagree, rashid and laughlin showed that tactics are definitely present in T20 bowling.

I do agree that the tactics are different to red ball bowling though, but thats not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself. Of course test cricket will always be the best form of the game, but all forms can coexist happily imo
