Watson scored almost twice as much as your best batsman. Not bad in my estimation.

Watson lbw b Onions 51.

Nice one gabi.

Tell us how good Punter is now please.

(although Punter is actually good)

Eh? Since when was 51 anywhere near twice as much as 39?

Your timing is perfect.

What do you make of Hussey?

 

[Nemo]

Your timing is perfect.

What do you make of Hussey?

He's improving.

 

[gabi]

Hyperbole

Still, not bad for a 'stop gap opener'.

watson-the aussies ian bell

I'd be happier if Bell had actually got 51 tbf

Aussies will probably declare at 300 and win by a an innings plus a hundred probably

A good return, sure. But to be fair, the bowling at him has been shit.

Aye, but still, he's ian bell in the sense that he never carries on his innings.

Ok. Test ave: 55.96

Pretty good.

 

[mattie]

Ok. Test ave: 55.96

...and he wafts at a wide one!

Keep it up gabi! Almost!

 

[Nemo]

Close on the run out there. Very close.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

run out appeal?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

survives..

53.10

 

[Nemo]

Not out. Shame. Just in by a coat of varnish on the bat.

 

[mattie]

53.10

I'm not asking would you sleep with him, how good a batsman is he?

 

[Corax]

Gabi, all feisty until she got narked when it was pointed out that her mum's her brother.

Fabulous.

That makes no sense whatsoever

140/2

He does like silly runs.

53.10

The pertinent facts about Hussey are that he's in his mid-thirties and averages around 30 over the last couple of years.

Lucky to be in the team.

 

[Nemo]

Broad!

Punter lbw b Broad.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss

 

[mattie]

gabi you beauty!!!!!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I've some Aussie blood. I also have pommie blood.

We're a nation of mongrels in NZ.

Actually can you clarify - does pommie mean English exclusively or all Britons?

Because when England played Wales recently in rugby, I think england won and you said "I can't believe Wales lost to the pommies"

So are the Welsh not pommies?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

[JimW]

I should have got up earlier - obviously I'm turning things round for us here.

 

[Corax]

That makes no sense whatsoever

Baa.

It makes little sense on any level
