I have Rich Mentality to the cricket team. Loye will come in for Vaughan and no Stuart Broad he will probably play on Sunday. My team would be
Loye Joyce Bell Strauss Collingwood Flintoff(C) Dalrymple Nixon/Read(WK) Plunkett Mahmood Panesar.

The end of my flag on a stick is quite sharp! Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: Spud on Friday, February 9, 2007, 07:57:08 We done well to restrict them to 252 all out but our batting is going to let us down in this one.

Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: Give us an S on Friday, February 9, 2007, 11:31:20 Shame its a best of 3! What ever happens things are looking more positive for the World Cup. Although there are still a few players who have done very little in the team.
Well done Colly!! Get in!!! Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: Scot Munroe on Friday, February 9, 2007, 11:41:40 Mcgrath had a bit of a shocker got out for a duck, Dropped a sitter and lot's of Fielding Mistakes.
Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: larwood on Friday, February 9, 2007, 11:42:42 :D :beers: :dance: :clap: :grin:
Absolutely fantastic,we've finally showed the Aussie's we can play after three months.Who's going to be getting up at 3am Sunday now then :wink: Oh and what a happy birthday Glen Mcgrath has had :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Can't wait to see him lose his rag on the highlights later :D Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: fatbury on Friday, February 9, 2007, 11:51:57 Great news .. just one more win lads .. go on!
Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: Spencer_White on Friday, February 9, 2007, 13:19:56 Fantastic perfomance by Paul Collingwood. A shoe in for Man of the match if ever I saw one. Tight bowling. Amazing run outs. 120 not out, hitting the winning runs. Fantastic. What a hero.
But having said that, the One day game is in a spot of bother if even the Aussies cant be bothered to turn up for the finals anymore. Something needs to be done to stop this form of the game becomming a complete joke. Endless games might go down well on Indian subcontinent TV, but for everyone else its a complete farce. And it will continue to be so until they form some sort of world league where each of these ODI's actually count for something. To play endless games right up to the World Cup is simply a joke. floghorse Springs to mind. Its also a complete farce that the Aussies can win 9 ODI's on the trot and still loose the series. Not that il give a stuff about that on sunday. A win on sunday would be a double bonus. Ausses gutted, and end the series as early as possible. Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: Scot Munroe on Friday, February 9, 2007, 14:28:37 Here is the highlights if you want to watch.

McGrath creases me up. McGrath is a cunt of the highest order, i dislike the bloke immensely. Anyways:- Well done Colly, what a legend. I put the digital text on when i woke up expecting to see a hammering defeat but oh no it was something along the lines of "Collingwood ton earns England win in final" :beers: Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: Spencer_White on Friday, February 9, 2007, 16:06:56 Honestly, I saw McGrath outside the MCG and he was the most friendly and approachable international sportsman Ive ever seen.
You'd never believe it, but we came away after a 2 minute chat thinking what a top bloke. In fact, all the Australians seemed to like and respect the England fans more than the English players did! What I try to think is. What would we think of Glenn McGrath if he was English? Working class farmer boy, honest, loyal to his fammily, aggressive on the field, plays the game 100% every game, fantastic bowler/legend of the game? But of course he's an Aussie. So fuck him. Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, February 9, 2007, 16:29:43 :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: fuck me we won! thats 3 ODI wins in a row! what is going on? :shock:
Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: sonic youth on Friday, February 9, 2007, 16:41:27 Beautiful.
I don't care if we lose the next 2 finals, at least we beat 'em. Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: janaage on Friday, February 9, 2007, 17:00:52 You talking about Ireland V Kenya or something?
as for McGrath being a top fella, I can understand that I once met David Campese in his shop in Sydney, another top bloke!!!

:D Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: janaage on Friday, February 9, 2007, 17:17:30 Least we beat the paddies the other day.
You seen those Kenyans running between the wickets???? :wink: Title: England vs Australia 1st Final @Melbourne Post by: lebowski on Friday, February 9, 2007, 18:40:44 i had to "watch" this on the internet and the page holding the score updates on the bbc website went down at the end of the 49th over. amateurs, as ian brown once said.
in response to spencer's point about one day cricket: i think there should be a boxing-style ranking system, whereby if you beat the best then you become the champions. no really, i do. |
