Mudguts 0 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yep. 3/53 we'll take that, chasing a bucketload. Another good day for the Aussies! You can't keep a champ like Glen McGrath out of any big game situation. He thrives on them. Link to post Share on other sites

McGrath is the guy I love to hate, my fond memory of him was Razzaq smacking him for 5 consecutive fours and he was looking murderous like someone had burnt down his house, it was glorious. "You tube" is your friend, hehe here it is.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSjiTejrhPU How about Bill Lawry having canaries in the commentary booth " McGrath is getting a pasting", yes Bill he sure was excellent stuff! 5 overs, 0-61. I bet the English wish he had been bowling like that this past week Link to post Share on other sites

Your kidding! Having his house burnt down would be nothing compared to getting smacked like that. Go Mc Grath!!! Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 "Go Ball Go!" Great commentary! Mate I thought McGrath kept his cool pretty well there. There was a mouthed "Fuxk Off!" in there, but it seemed more in disgust at himself than at the batter. Whatever, one of the greatest precision bowlers of all time! That is what he is in the team for. Not for his personality. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 This may have the same non-mac support, but another mate is using this streaming to watch the Ashes. Quite cheap I think. http://www.cricketaustralia.tv/page/Home/0,,12377,00.html Actually, just checked the site and no mac streaming Link to post Share on other sites

snobee 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Bushy & SG - you know you have made life very difficult. Before I could just check the live scoreboard. Now, being so weak-willed, I'm confined to the chair, waiting for the sun to pass over the yard-arm, to have my 1st drink at the cricket. And I've got a million other more productive things to do - read must! But- Hey, Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 excellent! I have been in that state for the last 4 years of my life in Japan! Ever since willow came along... Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Geez, the poms gave us a good hiding today! Hey SG, did you see when McGrath went for his 100th run without taking a wicket? The crowd (poms) gave him a big cheers and standing ovation And as pissed and grumpy as he must have been, he laughed and acknowledged it with a wave and a smile. He's not as bad as you make him out to be. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I'm still making do with plain old text commentary but its class: Quote: 1620: If Flintoff is the heart of this England team and Pietersen the Machiavellian mind, then Collingwood and Hoggard are the lungs. At the moment, Gilo's that bit of shrivelled skin on your elbow. Lee gets one with a push into the covers. 506-8 Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 class. Well, looks like the Adelaide pitch lived up to expectations and gave the poms a bit of false hope. Unfortunately Australia were also always going to do well enough on such a flat track. Link to post Share on other sites
