Any of you boys getting down to the Gabba tomorrow for the 1 st test .

First few hours should be unreal ,two great pace attacks going full bore at the opposition batsmen on a lively wicket . Hopefully the Tassie boys Eddie , Punter and Hilfy will go well .

Great pass time , listening to test cricket on the am radio , whole snoozing on your favorite bed .

.......... Relaxoatiooooooon summer time

I love road trips whilst the crickets on - the hours just fly by.....I think the Saffa quicks will be all over this first one. The Aussie boys have not had enough batting practise I reckon. At $2.20 they are good value depending on what the rain does

Boxing Day is my fav day of the year.
I can camp on the lounge all day, watch the cricket and don't have to be anywhere or do anything - love it.

Have to agree Ted , they reckon Dale Steyns spell to Hughs last week was scary stuff

Talking of fast bowlers where is Mitch Johnson these days , seems to have completely disappeared from the Radar on the Australian team

I dont like cricket, I FRICKEN LOVE IT

How the hell do full-time professional bowlers bowl no balls

Bit like full time professional AFL players missing set shots , very disappointing .

its a gentlemens game- something you would known't about-so, a raspberry to you sir


and there' is always the chance someone will get some chin music

lacey i see so many kids standing around in long pants and shirt,red in the face because they are locked away all winter,for they were not good enough to play winter sport,or the fact mummy was worried about these poor kiddies catching a cold. then dad, the yesterdays hero,says boy,i know what you can play,play cricket.
so now its summer and this poor pasty kid is being roasted, all bloody day long while mum drinks wine from a cask sitting under a big arse tree giving her the most relaxing shade. now this kiddie stares at the drunken wench which he used to call his mother....cricket destroyed this once happy family

so you only like watching big sweaty blokes sniffing other big sweaty blokes bums (scrum time) and wrestling, grappling anf hugging each other and just having a football out there as an excuse to do.- not that there is anything wrong with that.




i think its called rugby league or something

You sound scarred chrispy, too many days roasting in the outfield as a grom?
Still, it's better than bum sniffing or aerial ping pong.
It's the only sport I can abide listening to and other than surfing, fishing and the odd bit of tennis it's the only sport I can watch.

That leaves 2 days play , wonder if the Africans can roll the Aussies twice in 2 days

I cant see any play today,the weather is set in

@smicko, only ever played street cricket....and i loved it.
mac they are not allowed to get wet,,,,they are GENTLEmen dont forget

Went on Friday - Day 1, got there for anthems & first ball. Go 1st day every year with my best mate. Finished up at midnight, long day from 10.00am.

Had tickets for Day 2, go with the boys in fancy dress on Saturday of test every year, this year 5 of us in safari suits and 1 Scooby Do. He does Scooby every year. Did the Stanley St pub crawl instead. Started at Norman Hotel and finished at Fox Hotel at Convention Centre. I struggled to back-up.

Sounds like a big weekend Dazzler

See Tassie Eddy has just cracked his Maiden century

Funny how cricket is a bit like state of origin Ed Cowan born and raised in NSW plays a few seasons for Tasmania is a Tasmanian .
Allan Border same for Qld .
Mitch Johnson is now west Australian

triple j has been annoying me a bit lately,i lasted 4hrs with commercial radio(no wonder bogans know all the words to songs,yet cannot read or write,they play the same songs over and over and over etc again) so that got canned. today i listened to the abc grandstand coverage off the cricket......well it was pretty intresting? 90% talking about crap as fark all cricket actually gets played. will see again tomorrow
