Cricket ODI

Just a hiccup

Man, it and the losss against the Poms was just a hiccup.

The ODI's are important but the tests are what really count.

We will still win the ODI series anyway!!!!

Go you Aussies!!!!
 
Sadly I think you will probably be proved correct.

Let's hope not though.

Rumour has it that the Bangladesh result is being credited to the late Pope John Paul II as one of the miracles required for progression to sainthood.
 
Salty Gibbon,

JPII must work his miracles through the "fruit of the vine and the work of human hands...it will become our spiritual drink"

It is not confined to the cricket team either. I often grow in knowledge and wisdom (and attractiveness to the opposite sex) after my second bottle of wine. That alone is miraculous.

Sorry guys but I just cannot see the Aussies aging attack being able to bowl England out twice in an Test match.

The Aussies batting is strong but I think England will win comfortably due to the Aussies attack.

A brave statement. Let's hope you're right.
 
Hi AT,

It’s a terribel shame that it only seems work for those who were lucky enough to have been born in god’s own country, isn’t it? I can assure you that it doesn’t work for me, and god knows I drink enough of the (real) amber nectar! :)

On a more sober note: you can chart the progress of the odds here: http://odds.bestbetting.com/cricket/odi-series/natwest-series/series-betting

Heard a story this morning about a punter who put 50K on Australia to beat Bangladesh to win $500.

Do you think he's a bit unhappy with the result...still you get what you deserve and who would be silly enough to risk 50 grand to win a measly $500.

An Aussie ? :LOL:
 
Salty,

The other side of the coin was a bangladeshi fortune teller who back his team to win at 26:1

P.S I'll ignore your snide remark in the interests of fostering international goodwill

Me snide about Aussies ?

Never matey.

Do you foster international goodwill with Fosters ?

Actually, I didn't think the Aussies had ever heard of international goodwill. That's a first for me.

:cool: :LOL: :cheesy:
 
Fosters....crikey...only the tourists (and most of England) drink that brew. A real measure of mateship downunder is if your BBQ guests turn up with one or two cartons of Victoria Bitter (for the downmarket type) or Crown Lager (to impress a new girlfriend). I have it on good authority that the 'premium' crown lager is just fosters that didn't quite brew properly anyway!!

For me, since marrying into the Irish, Guiness has been my poison of choice. It sure makes me think I am an international diplomat or sex symbol...or james bond..or tarzan...

That’s because it puts iron into your soul and various other parts of your body that lesser drinks fail to reach ! :)

Yeah, yeah, just like you won the Rugby World Cup.

Your time is up the team needs new bowlers.

This Aussie team has been the best Test Team in the history of the game and have set the standards. I just feel that change is upon us and there will be a new world order. England inspired by Harmisson and Pietersen.

I wonder if they'll get their miserable prat of a Prime Minister, John Howard, to present the Ashes to England.

He was such an ungracious basta*rd, not to mention bad loser, at the rugby. :mad:
 
I will agree, John Howard is a bit of a prat.

But our time is not up, it is no where near that stage.

England are going well, but take away Harmisonand what have they got bowling wise, not a lot.

Australia still have 4 of the best bowlers in the world as there front 4 bowlers, Mcgrath, Warne, Gillespie, and Kaspa and then with Lee to back them up.

Then batsmen, well we all jknow what Gilly will do, then Punter, then Hayden, Langer, should I go on.

England are brash and raw and will put up a better fight than they have done for the past few series, but I still think that on form the Aussies will win.

I just hope that I am not proven wrong.

May the best team win.

But geez aint it exciting!!!!!! :p :p
 
Got a feeling you are right and the Aussies will wipe the floor with us once again.

All I hope is that we give them a good fight and yes, it's bloody exciting and a lot of beer will go down the hatch between now and the end of the Ashes, whether it's Crown Lager, Swan Lager, Guinness, Fosters or my favourite Scrumpy which aint lager.

Guinness aint lager either :LOL: :cheesy:
 
CMON AUSSIE CMON, CMON

CMON AUSSIE CMON!!!!!!

ONE NIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :devilish: :devilish: :cheesy: :cheesy:
