What the fuck...

Can someone please tell me how the Aussie cricket team can get bowled out for 131 against the Keffa lovers last night? Even more of a disgrace when we picked a "DEEP" batting lineup including a few allrounders. Ponting is batting like my 1 year old son just swinging the willow at anything and hoping it comes off. This, for me, is showing quite a bit of arrogance on his part as he isnt treating a very good South African attack with any from of respect. This has been happening from the beginning of our summer when they put the cleaners through us out here. Michael "I am above the team" Clarke doesnt ever seem to have his mind switched on for any long periods of time, leading to his poor form recently aswell. Also, what the fuck is going on with the running between wickets? We are a national cricket team which used to pride ourselves on out running between wickets. Quick decisive calling and minimal runouts are keys to success and we have totally forgotten this. The Hussey brothers are very similar to when the Waugh twins used to bat together. One of them surely runs the other out eventually.
It is all well and good for players like Ponting to claim that test cricket is the only real crciket but this doesnt mean you have to lose the plot in the shorter forms! Pick up your games or fuck off with your bad, arrogant attitudes. Many a young cricketer would die for a chance to play some pyjama cricket.

  1. Well said PAWD. D Hussey has to be on thin ice. One good innings in every 10 isnt enough to keep you in the side. Don't get me wrong, outstanding if not the best domestic cricketer going around at the moment, but his international form is not consistent enough to stick around in the Oz cricket team unfortunately for him. Watch him get a 100 and take 4 for in the next game now!
