hope she takes better care of her baby than she did her cat. (poor Paddles, oh how you brought a brief ray of sunshine into a dull and hopeless country...)

have the poms still got enough healthy players to field a team /?? cool
I agree. I used to love those triangle series even when NZ isn't playing. Why did they take it out? Is it because when Aus isn't playing they cannot sell the tickets?
It's so nostalgic, such an occassion and a fantastic celebration of cricket, but I guess $$$ comes first nowadays.
Haha.. I don't know why you have such an infatuation with our PM but it's a little freaky man...
I think the argument was with twenty20 they were playing too much cricket, (but i think they changed the format before that anyway.) most of the main grounds have been enlarged over the last 10 years so they probably cost more to hire, but the television numbers are still very strong for the 50 over game and they used to play the non australian games at smaller venues, like Hobart or Adelaide or Perth, i can't remember a non Australian game at the MCG for instance. I think it was a much better format, the mini tournament every year helps set the mindset for the world cup. And you know it was always good to see great players come over from overseas, even if we weren't playing them in Test cricket.
I like big teeth...
What were they used to call? Benson & Hedges Series? Aww man, those were the days... No IPL, no Twenty20 bull crap. Just pure cricket with big names battling it out. All the legends, they just had so much more character compared to now.
yeah dude i think they axed it I dunno ten years ago, i don't know if it was the ACB's choice or an edict from ICC. As cricket fans we're poorer for its absence, i hate twenty20 might as well watch bloody indoor cricket.
Yeah there's just no tension in twenty20, anyone with a bigish bat can just come in and whack the ball around.
They should just call it Fifty50, as in, there's a 50/50 percent chance any 1 team could win it, no skills involved, just pure luck.
It started in the UK was popular cause it was quick, tickets were cheap and they served full strength beer, became the thing to do on a Friday night out with the lads before hitting the boozer. I think it is to cricket what herpes is to sex.
Welp, in other news... New Zealand had just swept Pakistan 5-0 in the ODI Series.
Last month NZ also had beaten the West Indies 3-0 in the ODI Series.
Hottest team in cricket ATM? Has to be.
