so good

What's the story behind this GIF?

Only fools bet on horses.

"Bugger the Melbourne Cup, this is the race I wanted to win."

Sure buddy. Whatever you say.

 

[speedpop]

A starved man will accept raw potato over nothing.

 

[Grug]

Controversy at the Millions.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

The owner of the winning horse gets a million or something, dunno how much they paid for the horse....... probably a free horse if you win.

 

[Yagharek]

I love seeing India get smashed in the cricket. Another big session from Warner and Clarke, thanks.

 

[Grug]

No potato for him. Just got pwned by the protest.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Yeah sick burn.............. here's a million dollars................. PSYCH!

 

[Yagharek]

Bet he'd take the Melbourne Cup now.

 

[Yagharek]

Warner > India

 

[Grug]

Funny position for Gai Waterhouse to be in. Trained both horses.

That Vodafone ad with Gilchrist is more cringeworthy than their 3G data coverage.

 

[Grug]

Geez that crack is causing some trouble. Day 4 (if we get there) will be quite a show.

My old phone was vodafone, i couldn't take calls in the lounge I had to walk out the back of the house or It would be an autodisconect.

 

[Grug]

Effortless six. What a beast.

 

[Grug]

Doh. Beast of an innings comes to an end.

 

[pieatorium]

damn

 

[artist]

Fuck.

Still one of the best innings I've seen in a while. Coincidentally my other fav knock was Warner's 100+ not out in that exciting test against the Black caps.

 

[master15]

For those of you asking, here's the list of fastest double centuries in Tests. Astle tops, getting there in 153 balls

I think the sound of the ball coming off Astle's bat will forever be etched in my memory. Outside maybe an innings from Gilly, I've never see such clean and sweet hitting.

 

[reptilescorpio]

If we can get to a lead of 250 on this crumbling pitch I will feel very confident in our position.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Cheesy just got his Punch On

Only $60.

Oh and good knock by Warner.

 

[Grug]

Pup gawn.

This is a tricky pitch. Every run we get ahead is gold.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Struggle street now, wonder how long we will last. Don't have much faith in Haddin.

EDIT: Haddin out cheap for a duck again. SHOCK.

 

[Yagharek]

GTFO of this team, Haddin

 

[pieatorium]

fucking baddin

 

[Grug]

Ahahaha.

Haddin.

You hack mate, you mouthy hack.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Haddin goneeeeeee.

 

[DeSo]

Suck shit Haddin, now piss orf.

 

[Grug]

Great quote from BigFooty poster

When will Channel 9 release a signed effigy of Bad Haddin?

 

[reptilescorpio]

If we can scramble another 100 from here it will be a great innings from us.

GTFO of this team, Haddin

Good time to try Wade next match.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Fallen in a heap now. Much better bowling and just not watching the pitch.

 

[Grug]

Handy fightback by India.

But at the same time, it's pleasing to see that wickets are there for the taking.

India have their work cut out for them.

Would be nice to get the lead up to 200.

 

[Grug]

9 down.

 

[Yagharek]

India are going to struggle to get this score going on recent batting performances. I cant see Australia having to chase a 3 figure total if anything.

208 behind is touch enough, if they make 300 on the crumbling pitch it will be a great effort. They need to get through tonight with all their wickets in hand. Still only day 2!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Warner and Cowan where an anomaly, batting sucked balls. Should be ok though, still might win by an innings.

 

[artist]

Warner > India

Warner > Australia's 10

 

[artist]

I'm going for a quick nap. Sehwag must be itching to get out and bat or bat and get out.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Will they be there tomorrow?

 

[pieatorium]

Heh 2 overs 2 wickets

 

[reptilescorpio]

Starc! Looked like Tendulkar used the c word there, but I am sure he would use an Indian word rather than swearing in English.

 

[Yagharek]

I love watching Tendulkar get out cheaply. Never gets old, rare as it is.

edit: Petulant reaction from Tendulkar, I expect irfan to chastise him for acting like a spoilt child, yes?

 

[Grug]

That's the one we wanted!!!

 

[artist]

Reaction was warranted, Australians were appealing for a 6ft high lbw.

I'm shocked to see Sehwag's gone though.

edit: My initial reaction about Starc was correct - he's more dangerous than the other two combined. He also reminds me of Irfan Pathan in a way, can bat too.

 

[pieatorium]

I'm shocked to see Sehwag's gone though.

it was 6 inches over the stumps yeah but cmon he didn't offer a shot on that one. It's bound to get you a bit excited

 

[artist]

Only 6 inches, right?

Such a partisan crowd, pin drop silence for a four. I guess they want the match to end in this session.

 

[Grug]

Yeah, Tendulkar was clearly pissed at the lack of a DRS.

Pretty sure I saw him mouth the words "Fuck those shortsighted pricks at the BCCI".

 

[reptilescorpio]

Whelp won't need another innings now.

Reaction was warranted, Australians were appealing for a 6ft high lbw.

What does that have to do with him being plum LBW? He should get 3 lives because the Australians appealed one that wasn't out?

 

[Yagharek]

Such a partisan crowd, pin drop silence for a four. I guess they want the match to end in this session.

Ive seen more Indian fans in that crowd than Ive ever seen away team fans in any Indian-hosted match.

That said, maybe its so quiet as the Indian fans have given up and gone home early for the night.
