Spot on. If you read any of the many cricket books over the years the majority of classic sledges are absolutely hilarious. But you can see how it would play on someones mind.

melbourne dead track lose by 10 wickets
took a bit of the draw at $5.50 the other day.
hope its a road.
MCG curators need concrete shoes and loaded off the coast.
After 2 days of real test batting what has happened to the "road"?
The Aussies batted on it so that isnt a surprise they collapsed
As for the Indians batting struggles in the second knock
FFS they 292 in front from the first innings. They more focused on organising their winning party at Crown tomorrow night rather than batting
Loses the toss 75%. sack time
Aussies need to seriously consider ball tampering as it's unlikely we can win a test playing by the book.
Why not just get some 50yr old fat bald C&S player to come on as a substitute fielder who's only job is to tamper the ball.
After the game he can get found out and suspended who cares not like you cant draft in another one to do the same next match.
I should be running cricket in this country.
i really enjoy listening to Andrew Symonds talk about the game in these Big Bash matches.
he offers no emotion, just straight talk about tactics, style, thoughts.
he is also honest.
Isa is also great.
beats the old days of wannabe american style commentators who just yell about everything.
Good point but pretend cricket goes in other threads

2-1 wouldn’t do this series justice.
India deserve to win it 3-1. Comprehensively out played.
Batted better bowled better as a team.
two points.
1. pattinson dam near breaks a stump in half but the bail doesn't fall off, and the crowd accuse the Australians of cheating??!?!?!
2. this burns fella has the most ridiculous stance. looks like he is checking to see if he's crapped his pants every time the bowler runs in.
Missing the Fox coverage already. Nein with the ads every over, ads inserted during the over, anmoying cuts to the studio set style still like Mike Gibson used to have, trying to brand the Sky coverage as their own. A tennis player as host and slightly over cooking the woman thing ( Isa on her own is sufficient). Also no highlights packages next day for those of us that have to go to bed.
And I hate numbers on test shirts.
These ****s who chose to drop this Steve Smith bloke and refused to pick him for 12 months are looking like right ****ing idiots now
Just by selecting him we are now literally a 1 man team all of a sudden capable of winning against anyone
'Same old pommies, always whinging/losing'
Eat a d!ck chumps.
Edgbaston - now the Lyon's Den :rof:
lose series 3-1
Hahahaha..
Vegemite marketing team deserve a medal for this advert that they put in the Daily Mirror..

Series will be decided by how well Tim Paine goes at the toss
Aussies are a very good team when batting first
Not so good when bowling first
looks like Bodyline bowling is back :rof:
as soon as the B word was uttered in relation to Smith in the media, all of a sudden Archer appears with headhunters.
history repeating itself?
good, proper cricket last night. Archers spell was awesome.
The CA statement on booing smith was probably he most wack thing ive ever seen.
CA deemed him a cheat, CA suspended him for a record length and is still punishing him even though hes back (leadership ban). CA then turns around and says please dont boo our cheat when hes under the weather.
CA put Smith in this position just as much as Bancroft and Warner. They were the ones singing from the top of Mt Pious the loudest that Smith is a cheat. To then expect opposition fans to just shush it when convenient is lame. Plus, plenty were giving him a standing ovation for coming back on.
Also, lowkey, Warner is trash. Sit him next test please.
Archer is fabulous - anyone that doesn't enjoy watching him bowl doesn't enjoy cricket.
The Labuschagne dismissal was a disgrace - Warner needs to pay Joe Root a visit and finish the job.
Well that was fun last night!
man, is there any modern cricketer that can manage to NOT get hit in the head by a bouncer?
that's just about the most incredible catch i've ever seen.
how the hell did he catch it?
Aussies are fked
Tim Paines inability to use the reviews process cost us the game. We had a plumb lbw appeal turned down because the umpire didn't have the balls to give it out and we didnt have any reviews left.
But fmd hit in line on the back pad should never require a video review.
That Umpire just lost his job I reckon
Hopefully we see the process change
If the ****ing thing is close the technology should be used all the time and it should be reviewed by the umpire and not the players
Not exactly a hard fix
