Or very drunk

The aussie commentators are currently greasing each other up while pontificating on what a 'genius' mitchell johnson is. It's gonna get hot n heavy in that studio soon. McGill slipping Hoggy a length. Mmmmmm.

Same here, anytime the aussies are winning...its not really happening.

 

[Flashman]

Aye

 

[Badgers]

The sport of cricket is the winner

 

[Flashman]

What?

wut?

 

[Badgers]

The sport and the country that created the sport are the winners?

 

[mattie]

Can Jimmy avoid a duck? That would be a victory in itself.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

lmao, i was gonna say how long until we lost a wicket..nevermind

 

[mattie]

Yes he can. Jimmy wins.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

he got a four then got out

 

[mattie]

Jimmy walks off a winner.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

[liquidlunch]

[Flashman]

Jimmy walks off a winner.

And that's all that really matters to be fair.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

And that's all that really matters to be fair.

Yup. Its more important than this result imo.

 

[Flashman]

Had to leave half a pint in the pub I was so battered

I'm getting old.

 

[Badgers]

The cut of his jib remains acceptable

 

[strung out]

[TrippyLondoner]

odds of beating our first innings score?

Now there's a tough bet.

 

[mattie]

Cricinfo, bless 'em:

"Johnson to Prior, 1 run, stroked elegantly off the back foot to extra cover - who misfields! Australia have lost the plot, the wheels are coming off here!"

 

[liquidlunch]

Now there's a tough bet.
