Australia v USA (Cricket)

[Memnoch]

A surprisingly easy victory with 12 overs to spare. Surprising as I thought NZ would put up more of a fight, they are the No3 ranked team in the world after all, and won the Natwest TriSeries here after all. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] What an onslaught from Symmo, 71 off 47 with four sixes!! The improvement in this guy over the past 18 months, since the WC, has been amazing. Goes to show what a bit of confidence and support from your captain does for your form, he'd be one of the three best players in the squad at the moment and has proven to be a more than capable replacement for Bevan. Marto played fluently for his 60, and Hayden showed composure in his 47, showed how to chase a low score - keep the run rate ticking along. Bad luck Kiwis but they lost it in the first innings. Really sorry. Ooops

Now either SL or England - hopefully it will be England, I'd like SL to win as I reckon that would give us a better contest but nothing would give me more pleasure than to see us knock the Pommies out... [img]graemlins/evillaughter2.gif[/img]

Well in that case Memsie, I hope we play the Poms. I want to see how Viking Andy handles a few around his ears, and I want to see how many times Mr Giles gets swatted over the fence by Matt the Bat and Symo [img]smile.gif[/img] ,

And here's poor me, hoping we can just beat the Windies! Argh, how our cricket has fallen

Hey, I didn't realise we had any Saffa members on this board (plenty on my rugby board, but not here). Welcome aboard mate, you must be the first (and only) Saffrican member here. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Though I reckon you'll do it tough against the Windies unless your bowling turns up, I don't fancy your batting lineup to post a score high enough to challenge theirs...

Well, we whitewashed them in our most recent series, but you're right, short of Kallis, our batting is up to scratch.

[Davros]

Hey Lanesra - is losing as a Brit not enough for you - why do you feel the need to lose as a member of so many other natinalities . I can now see where they get the saying "The Brits are the best losers in the world - they have to be, they get so much practice at it"

I guess guessing ain't your strong point old chap!

Unless you bat first it's doubtful if you'll see Flintoff get a chance to bat.
