Mate... remember what happened to the poms when they said McGrath and Warne were hasbeens.

Besides, we only need the first 4 batsmen....

I don't know whether Vice Captain is a promotion or demotion (from Wicketkeeper) but its got a good ring to it. I like batting fourth (clean-up hitter in baseball).

Anyways, and on another sport, on my way to see ManU with some rabbid ManU fans. Check the obituaries if Arsenal wins as I've got this thing for "instigating"!

Can we really play :D before the doping test.. there should be a fitness test. Those who are not able to walk properly, or play basketball with cricket ball, or think its a grenade n run away from it shouldnt be allowed in the team.. the least..
and hope i'll qualify as the captain in case HP is not able to perform under pressure..

So when is the series starting..???

Thanks for the call up Galactico. I'm actually a bigger football (soccer) fan. I def play football better than cricket. However being an Aussie cricket is in our genetic make up.


I'm not Asian, but seeing as the captain of the Rest of the World didn't pick me :cry: :cry: :cry: I'm willing to offer my services ( or maybe that's tennis? )
Silly Mid-off sounds good to me.........but I ain't dealing with no googlies..........

In cricket there's a lot of rubbing balls, you should start by practising that.

Oh, that sounds splendid. Any volunteers?

EDIT: *cough* oh, those cricket balls, ok, nevermind then. Why do you rub them? To create static electricity?

No, because you know, being in the sun all day wearing trousers, sweat builds up, things get sticky... itchy... they need a rub.

Oh... cricket balls? If you shine one side and scuff the other it causes the ball to swing through the air making it difficult for batsmen to hit.

Oh dear, I'm a bit confused now. What's the difference between a ball and a googly? :roll:

A cricket ball is the ball you use to play.

A googly is what a bowler mainly a spinner can do with the ball. The ball is spinned in a certain direction.

Shane Warne is the master at this art of bowling



Freza I think you better start training now has you know you dont have much chance :D
anyways maybe your team will make it respectable and lose by 200 instead of 300 runs and thats being fair :wink: :wink:
