Great delivery, Siddle did well.

...Time for the aussie selectors to put the boot in.

It is of my belief that this is just the start for the Australians, and in the next decade or so they will begin a calamitous 'West Indies esque' slide down the rankings :p

If the selectors keep living in the past, definitely.

I mean, every time there's a dead rubber in a test series, they select the same players anyway. Why aren't they blooding some new talent?

Who cares about blooding new players in dead rubbers, dead rubbers are obviously not gonna have any bearings on the outcome of the series, and if the outcome of the series in always an Australia loss then that's the real problem for you lot!

That's irrelevant when you're not activel searching for alternatives to the team's shortcomings.

This wasn't a dead rubber, and they had 2 debutants anyway...

Plus who is there to bring in? A few years ago it seemed you could just about pick any domestic player from any domestic team and theyd be good enough to slot right in.

God I miss the days where we had the best XI in the world, minus murali, lara, maybe vaas and pollock.

NZ 355/9. Vettori on 109 no. What a legend

Gotta love Danny Vettori.

Packers up 28-14 against the Falcons at the half. Even if the Falcons come back from here it'll be a hell of a game.

PAckers out to 45-21. 35 points unanswered in the second and third quarters. Massive gmae for Rodgers. Throws for a 136.8 passer rating.

God we are fucking rubbish.

This is very quickly going from a day nighter to just a day match.

Can't play a defensive shot to save our lives. Can't score runs to save our lives to take the pressure off. Can't even get quick singles.

Rubbish.

This is just ridiculous :lol:

Dougie!!!!

I wouldn't be complaining yet, England could well make a game of this yet.

Ferrer wins first set and is up two games to one in the second. There's a massive fuck you to all those journalists in the paper today paying him out.

I don't get why he was being paid out so much in the papers, he can play great tennis. Just because Nadal wasn't 100% doesn't mean he's not a good player.

Chris Woakes has 6, Lee gone for a golden duck, Ausralia 9/234.

Smith smashes Woakes for six next ball.

England in big trouble at 7/128

Figured this would be a good time to resurrect this thread.

Kenya vs New Zealand. Kenya won the toss and have chosen to bat first.

anyone been watching the quicksilver pro? the womens surfing was very high quality, any of slater, taj burrow or jordy smith (whoever wins their heat) can take it from here.

Slater ahsn't been surfing that well until the semi, jordy smith has won 2 heats in the last 30 seconds and is capable of anything, taj has the highest heat score and won it last year.

Awesome stuff to watch.
