It's okay, it WAS a mistake - it should have been 570/4
 Warne 1/154 in 34 overs, EIGHT, yes that's EIGHT bowlers used.  Memnoch - I can see from your last comment that this must be really hurting. The ridiculous decisions in the 2nd test were obviously made to redress the balance from the 1st. ------------------ The Truth is in the Profile |

They're coming home, they're coming home, they're coming,
Ashes coming home. I hope the moral of the Australian team won't be so low that you don't put up a fight ------------------ The Truth is in the Profile |

Your a brave man for eating that Spam Yorick. Very brave! When I was age 11-12 and living in China there wasnt a lot of "western" food to be had at the Friendship Store(a store only for foriegners). Somehow my dad came up with two CASES of Spam. The first can or two was alright,but after awhile, I mean mom did try but....HAVENT HAD THAT STUFF SINCE THE LAST NASTY CAN WAS GONE!!!!!!!! Look what it did to me! Please Yorick for your own health and career,no mas!

hu·bris [hybriss ] noun
1. pride: excessive pride or arrogance 2. excessive ambition: the excessive pride and ambition that usually leads to the downfall of a hero in classical tragedy [Late 19th century. From Greek.] hu·bris·tic [hyoo brístik ] adjective hu·bris·tic·al·ly [hyoo brístiklee ] adverb Can he mean me? Some interesting comments: And that caps a remarkable day for India, wicket less Laxman going on and on and on, Dravid keeping him good company The 3rd time India have gone through a day without losing a wicket, first being Mankad & Roy at Chennai 1955/56 and the second being Yashpal Sharma & GR Vishwanath v England in 81/82 also at Chennai Laxman on 334 runs in the test, Gavaskar has 344 with 124 & 220 made in his first series in 1970/71 against WI in WI Laxman & Dravid will, in all likeliness, be on the field on all 5 days of the test 315 runs ahead, 90 overs to be bowled tomorrow. This has been a comeback of the highest order from India A complete turn around thanks to VVS Laxman & R Dravid. Laxman passing a long standing record of 236* by Sunil Gavaskar for the highest individual score by an Indian batsman In the process he also passed Rohan Kanhai's 256 for the highest test score in India This partnership of 357 runs is India's best partnership for the 5th wicket VVS Laxman now has to go past Lara 277, Foster 287 & Hutton 364 for the highest individual test scores against Australia He is also 25 runs short of being the first triple centurion in tests for India There are 23 people ahead of him in the list of highest individual test scores, level with Cullinan & Gary Kirsten VVS Laxman also looking to add to his tally of first class triple hundreds, 2 in all now ------------------ The Truth is in the Profile |

Hey Donut, I checked out the stats, we did well in the 1st innings, had them on the ropes, made India follow on, and then kathwup - A wicketless fourth day. Looks like this is a draw dammit.
AAARRRRGG THE END OF THE WINNING STREAK! NO MORE RECORD!!!!????    AAARGGG!------------------ FAIR DINKUM! |

Hmmm.. Donut my friend just dropped in to respond to your line in the "Drop in and take a load off", thread. I my friend was starkly aware of your absense. I seemed to recall your mentioning that you were going out of town for matches in the thread where you Mem and Yorick were discussing them (perhaps I misread it), and yes you were missed. A keg of Faerun's finest ale for you my friend!

Thanks Relic. Fortunately going to a match on this island can usually be achieved in a day. The match I went to was close by, it was just the drinking afterwards that takes the time. Thanks for the beer.
p.s did you follow any of this cricket stuff? ------------------ The Truth is in the Profile |

Alas my friend, when I was a youth, I never had any affiliation with things beyond North America so I never gained an appreciation for that fine sport.
