The dude can seriously bat, and is hard as nails . I saw today the 'plan out loud' was to bowl full as he loses his wicket majority if the time to that method... Problem is he's 80 of 70 when it happens...
Whether they win the series or not will depend more on his captaincy in the field than how many runs he scores...
I'm stoked hanno is back in the 11, and I think the selectors erred by leaving renno out... Both should never have been dropped as quickly as they were...
India draw series at best because our bowling attack is world class and were at home...

Don't forget I had a tear in my eye as the bowler turned at his mark... 

Hahahahaha

I appreciate you and your cousins taking the time to watch me shoulder arms for an hour and a half... If I remember correctly they also bashed the kid selling ice-cream on the hill...

And you're right... I make the whole room/oval/stadium look better when I'm in it...
Just like villi would lower the collective IQ...

Truth be known I batted for 60 overs and scored 6 to stave off an outright victory in in Jr cricket.... 
Poor bloody parents of everyone mustve been looking for the nearest toaster and bath...

Read a great book about Buck O'Neill who was one of the famed Negro League baseball stars called :Soul of Baseball:A Road Trip Though Buck O'Neill's America" (recommend to all) but Buck relates similar thing...he said he heard a sound unlike any other he ever heard and he only heard it three times in his life...first was when Babe Ruth hit the ball the second time when Josh Gibson of the Negro League hit the ball and third I can't remember but the description of the sound they made when they hit was like that attributed to Kohli

The thing about Kohli is - I love to hate ... to love him.... to hate him... to love him....to hate him.... to love him..... to hate love love hate

There's always a part of me that wants him gone first ball and another that wants to watch him get a century plus, both options no matter who he's playing for or against. And it'll be no different today.

He can ruin you in a session, but damn it's pretty to watch.

Got some lip too, which I hate... love.... hate.... love.... hate love hate love hate.

I'm sure there's some Aussie in him.

BTW, as of this morning we now have a complete list of sponsor assets for our playing kit.

So much for the fallout........

Jaywho?

India to bat.

Brace yourselves.

To know know know him is to love love love (hate,hate, hate) him

3/25 and Kohli gone!

Great start lads... Foot on the throat!...

Three deliveries that probably should have been allowed to go through to the keeper in the first hour of play...

Sack Kohli and let Dman captain India (I'll let you know when we need pitch advice) :)

Is it true Kholi muttered "Bloody Des" as he trudged off?

If so we need to make him an honorary Dogs fan.

Des was spotted at the Indian Net session, with T-Rex bowling :)

Club website just previewed the List Of Centre Candidates....

Hopoate

Holland

Olive



Yes I mentioned our depths on the Wings is poor.... Centre is even worse if any injuries are to arise!!


Yes we have the young kid Harper, but our backline is clearly missing Speed, Experience, Finishers & X Factor type player..... I hope that we find that player before Kickoff 2019

Typical lemmings type of response...Villi you have to do better than that

Shall I get you a toaster and run you a warm bath?...

No doubt this theme will extend to the whole squad other than 2nd row...
All this drama from the bloke who wanted us to sign coote... Pffft..

Would be nice to knick over Ashwin before 20, he's no mug...

U want x factor villi?...

Disappointing last hour in the cricket... Paines field not aggressive enough (common mistake for inexperienced captains), and the quicks bowled too short with the 2nd new ball...
I'd like to see Cummins get his hands on the 2nd new ball with Starc moving forward...

A good day overall, but need to scuttle them quickly in the morning though... Batting for an hour and posting close to 300 could swing momentum enough to cost us dearly...

It should not be too hard to get the last wicket.

The test is going to come down to how we bat first innings, this looks like it might be a better battling line up than we have had in recent times, plus we are playing in home conditions.

It think we need to win this one, I don't think we are likely to get to get the Indian top order so cheaply that often, unless there is plenty in the track.

I must admit..... Mrs Dman did shine bright towards the end of the season & his partnership with Reimis Smith was brilliant!


Congrats to Kerrod!



I hope 2019 Dally M winner L Coote gets homesick & comes straight back home..... to Belmore!

Dman's cooking is the secret, when Dutchy plays badly he has to eat at home :)

Well done to the board securing $4.2 milliion in sponsorship on our playing strip... Stick that up your classic sportswear jersey Dibbys and BDP FB shills...

"Better battling line up" Freudian slip?...

So Idiot Des goes & collects a charged DV Dylan Walker from the Cop Shop last night....


Surely Walker will be sacked?

Surely Greenturd, the Germ, Buzz etc will be all over this won’t they??

Villi, I am sure that they will fabricate something that implies the Bulldogs were behind it.
