Cricket
What teams do people support? Favourite players, form of game (limited overs, test matches, 20/20) etc.
Personally I'm an Aussie supporter but (as my sig/avatar would suggest ![]() My favourite Australian player is ummm probably Michael Clarke. He is a decent all-rounder and seems like a pretty good bloke. As for form of the game, I love it all (I play cricket and when playing I really do prefer the 20/20 games as it does not completely consume my weekend :lol)

Re: Cricket
Love the game, hate 20/20.
That the Australian domestic T/20 competition is sponsored by Kentucky Fried Chicken is so appropriate as T/20 is to cricket what fast food is to cooking.

Re: Cricket
To wake this thread again........
The India- Australia Border-Gavaskar series is done ![]() ![]() This series also marked the farewell of two of Indian and the World Cricket's wonderful players- Anil Kumble and Sourav Ganguly. Both have been matchwinners and brilliant additions to the game. ![]()

Re: Cricket
Yay the thread returns!
Ponting is copping a lot of anger over here for his decision to put on the wishy washy bowlers instead of copping the match ban. Most people seem to think we could have drawn the match. Personally I think Ponting just should have taken the ban but in the end I don't really mind that we lost. After all we're playing New Zealand next- an easy one...*shifty eyes*

Re: Cricket
Yeah..I heard Ponting's getting into trouble there..anyway...even if he had drawn the test, India would have won the series. I guess Ponting thought there was nothing to lose and went all out for it, and this time...it didnt work out. Though I do agree that using the part-timers wasnt the best thing to do- he could have gotten a ban for over-rate and have Watson, Krezja bowl. IMO, Lee's form or the lack of it, mostly killed Australia, though Watson did an excellent job.

Re: Cricket
![]() But if we'd drawn we would have kept the trophy, that's the thing people are upset about... I didn't get to watch much of the test at all (it was only on payTV) unfortunately...

Re: Cricket
I'm hoping for a close test between NZ and Australia but I expect it'll get poor ratings here because as sad as it is I don't think Aussies really care about the games vs NZ

![]() England's come here to India for their tour- it seems like a good series is in the offing. England's got a good team- Cook, Wright, Bell, Broad, K.P, Flintoff- and we have a good team too. Here's hoping for a good series for both Aus-NZ and Ind-Eng ![]() ![]()

Re: Cricket
By no means do we want to lose to NZ. I think Ponting would be hunted down as a national disgrace if he let that happen but the problem is Australia have won 24 times out of the past 26 games versus NZ. I think people are just so confident of a win that they've stopped caring
