i've searched and can hardly find any trace of any cricket on JW at all!!

so with the india-australia series starting tmrw, thought might be a good idea to start a cricket topic on the series

sachin is most likely to be out! noooooooo!!! but ponting is out of aussie squad which is sort of a consolation.

i hope dravid gets a good amount of runs, and hopefully a double century like he has gotten in his last 3 test series!

anyway, Go India!!!

Good idea, I think we won't get many European & North American in here.

Why are you going for India?

I won't be able to watch any of the tests, since its only on Foxtel and not free-to-air TV.

That might be a good thing though, otherwise I wouldn't find any time for studying for exams.
My tip is for the series to finish 1-1.

^ i'm actually indian but i live in sydney, so of course i'll be goin for india! 8)

u think u got it bad? i got foxtel right in my room but i gotta study for exams!!!! it's so shit!!!! the 2nd test will be on smack bang in the middle of my exams!!!! and ofcourse it will be finished by the time i have a few days off in between exams!! grrrrrrr!!! :x :x

i reckon it will go 2-1 india's way jus cos we got the spinners, the aussies really shoulda taken macgill. but hey, i ain't complainin

aks · 10-05-2004, 08:30 AM

Oh ok.....that sounds complicated...LOL.

Well you can't lose in this series.....an Indian living in Oz....you can be happy either way.

aks · 10-05-2004, 08:44 AM

cricket...you gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket

boohoo...who ever wins cricket still makes the world goto sleep. anyone who lacks sleep, cricket is a good natural sleep therapy.

I agree that it can get boring at times, but its not like I sit and watch an entire match from start to finish (well not anymore anyway).

aks · 10-05-2004, 09:04 AM

i can only watch a full match if india is playin, otherwise i can see how borin it can get

but as long as india is playin i'll watch as much as possible

many time's i've gone to skool after only havin 2hrs sleep because there was a cricket match the nite before involving india

possessed_beaver · 10-05-2004, 09:36 AM

cricket is cool,
i hope australia will win, maybee we can settle for a tie.

althoe that indian pitch looks real nasty!!
maybe faster then our own "WACA"

dingo · 10-05-2004, 09:43 AM

I thought they made the pitch suitable for their spinners (Kumble and Singh), therefore it would be slow...not fast.

styla21 · 10-05-2004, 07:43 PM

Australia is only taking one spinner, because typically in India, we do better with our pace line-up on their wickets. This is what Tony Greig was talking about this morning.

Have any of you guys heard of the 12th Man, (the comedy skit..)?

Stikz · 10-05-2004, 09:52 PM

Come on India! Hindustan Zindabad!!!

Shit, i think the Aussies will win, but i gotta cheer for my boys. Go Sachin!
