Maybe we'll have a better shot at the Ashes next time.
England seems to be too settled compared to us Aussies at present.
Dennis Lillee is spot on in saying the bowlers aren't putting in the net work and are paying for it out in the games.
Bailey has earned his spot and would make a good vice captain. The rest...geez I just don't know.
And why are half the squad playing pajama cricket in India. and getting well beaten.

It is good to have cricket here again though.


And yes.... I'm still playing ... Keeper/Opening Bat.... Bruised hands and all ha ha !! I love it !!

Just have a look at my hands... bruises and fingers pointing in odd directions...
They're called Keepers hands. Ha ha !!!

Well you can keep them...

Totally agree

Al's hand not a pretty sight

You always find an appropriate picture for the topic, well done Dave.

Yeah... Love it Dave !!

Hhhmmmm probably when I'm as old as you two Ha ha !!

Mandy has already said forget about any help to hold a knife & fork since it's my own doing. No sympathy...

Hey...speaking of old.... Still into the bowls Dave? or are you into the cold weather now ?

And golfing Andrew ?

Hey up Al seeing you like Sci fi tell mandy to get you one of theses it's better for you  and before you reply is it like yours no it bloody isn't  it saves mandy picking up after you

back to topic outside bowls finished in September giving the indoor a try until March a totally different ball game for the first hour I think every bowl went in the ditch a baptism of fire but still love the game

Still golfing Al, played my first game in three weeks last Sat after being crook, still not 100% but almost there.

Oh! by the way.. got the trifecta on the cup yesterday... 

Just in the work sweep myself. Got nothing... aah well.

Well done mate !! How much did you finish up with $ ?

Cheeky bugger Dave !. I'll get you back .... It'll take a while, but I'll think up somethn'.

Hey Dave, just checked some scores,,,, In the tour match against Australia A.... Your boys put on a bit of a show... at one stage 0 for over 300 runs. Oh boy, this isn't gonna be pretty.

Just found this: for your punting victory Andrew...

Nice one Andrew  

Well... A bit of a turnaround!!!
Our Bowlers did something right !!

Aus all out for 295 I think then England all out for 136 giving us a handy lead. 2nd innings started , I was thinking ... here we go... but to the boys credit. No wickets for 65 runs. That's a lead of 224.
I'm just happy they're putting more of a fight.

On to day 3...

Well done was absolutely gutted when I watched the news it brought a tear to my glass eye I think the best we can do is a draw well done again just for you AL just looked up your stats well done mate

Could be a lot better... Ha Ha !

There's another 15 years worth from my previous club as well .
Now it's about trying to bring the young kids into the game. We've bought up a lad for todays game who can tweak it a bit.... give him some senior experience. Doesn't matter if he gets wickets or not. We need spinners.
Weather is a bit crappy this morning... Hopefully dry out a bit before start time.
I'll be taking a radio with me and listen to the Test match.

We're in a great position.... watch us lose it from here...
