Macgill as a tv chef was pretty fucken excruciating.
But Slater has no impact on the performance of the team. Justin Langer has been our batting coach in what is pretty clearly our worst couple of years with the bat in decades.
I went to to the BBL last night. Watching Macgill run in the outfield was excruciating.
Was a great game btw, last ball denial, slxers win.
Nah, India's day after another pretty woeful batting display by Australia. If they clean up Aussie under 250, I can't see them not winning.
I think after that massive Dravid-Tendulkar partnership, everybody thought India would amass a massive lead, but Aussie quicks ensured they got a significant lead instead. Even if you think 8 down is significant, the target is already 230, 250+ is tough. In that context, I think it was even in the end, if there is a difference its really minute.
True enough. I just lay it down to the total lack of accountability in the management of the team at the moment.
I think the difference being I don't see the Indian's falling so cheaply in the second innings. They have a lot of experience and class in their line up.
I mean unless there's some demons in the pitch on day 4 and Patterson, Siddle and Hillfy bowl a collectively amazing spell I think you are under playing India are in the drivers seat presently.

It seems as though once you reach the Australian team as a coach or player it's hard to get the sack (unless you're one of the unlucky ones).

We got beat by New Zealand, I think we win.
Great to see this thread so alive! lol Salazar where are you getting those bollywood gifs from?
Disappointing batting from India though. Despite bowling being the perceived weakness, their batting has let them down. Would be awesome if Sachin brings up his century to win the match (probably not likely, doesn't have a good 4th innings record). Hilfenhaus getting a fiver...will he still be dropped in the next match for Harris?

lol that really makes me wonder how Shahrukh Khan ever became such a big star.
By the way how come you're not supporting Australia?
a) Not Australian. I live here, and I will support Australia in quite a few sports, but not cricket.
b) I have taken exception to the attitude of bunch of Australian players over the years. I'm deeply settled in a habit of enjoying their suffering, confusion, humiliation. There is no greater sight than Ricky Ponting having a tantrum or a sulk.
Silly Welshman.

Good game by SL, thought they would get around 450 lead. Gonna be hard to chase down.

They are still my darling though. I will never ever ever forget 1999 world cup. I think I was about die in those matches.

So true. They have had sucha talented team of all time. Its amazing . That is why I think cricket is such a mental sport. Beside the obvious talent it is such a battle of mental strength.

It's our Colonial overlords plundering their talent pools.
What's that joke about Keven Pieterson? Someone asked him if he lives in England, and he replies "No, I just work here".

Och, that wasnt meant to happen. Maybe just setting up Sachin for a glorious game winning score.
Where's the gif?!

Well it pretty much comes down to this partnership. Hoping for a big one from Tendulkar.
Yeah its odd considering the great run of form he had before last year. He's still been doing well in ODI's though. I think it may just be a matter of not having played enough (5 day) matches since he does have a tendency to get injured and has missed quite a few games.
