Ashes 2006-07 - First Test - Gabba

[Balbi]

Warney looks piedup as usual.

 

[Balbi]

Yeah you're right, Warne can be a right arrogant cunt. I've now deleted the 'y' from my typing of his name.

 

[fear-n-loathing]

You must be a Hants fan?

Or snowypat?

 

[Balbi]

"Coming up next, the toss...."



But Warne's just been on.



Hants myself.

 

[Biddlybee]

who's batting first?

 

[nonamenopackdrill]

lol. There's a million jokes you can do there, but none are offensive enough for the 'I'm offended by offensive jokes' thread.

 

[nonamenopackdrill]

Read the post above yours.

ie - we don't know.

The winner of the toss will bat, I presume.

 

[JTG]

arse

 

[Biddlybee]

bloke on 5 live says Australia have won the toss, but they don't know what they've chosen to do.

 

[Balbi]

Offensive eh?

"Darryl Hair's about to work again..."

 

[JTG]

they're batting

 

[John Quays]

Before I go to bed... I'm terrified.

Iwant us to beat them Ozzies more than almost anything but I just can't see it.

They'll have the wind in their sails and no mistake.

Oh Christ.

Come on England!! (and Wales)

eta oh fuck they're batting

 

[Balbi]

Come on England!! (and Wales)

Welshman.

 

[Balbi]

Sky fucking up commentary.

BRING BACK BENAUD!

 

[nonamenopackdrill]

Fucking hell.

They're batting.

Come on.

 

[JTG]

There's a greenish tinge to the pitch apparently and Ponting reckons there's a little moisture there (not for long I bet). We need early wickets

*straws clutched*

 

[nonamenopackdrill]

Well it means that 2 wickets in 2 hours will mean we're doing well.

I'm up for this first session.

 

[John Quays]

Bollocks am I (Welsh), Balbi. But it's the ECWB and that's all there is to it!!

I'm from Sherwood Forest from way away from Wales.

Come on England

 

[Balbi]

Daft Quays

I meant the squad has a Welshman.

 

[JTG]

Sky fucking up commentary.

BRING BACK BENAUD!

Oh fair enough

Mind you I live in France

No Frenchmen in the team are there?

 

[nonamenopackdrill]

2 wickets 1st session.

Need them 7 down by the end of the day.

Those are the sort of targets I set when watching cricket.

They're right as well.

You should've just used our spare room for these tests you know.

 

[Balbi]

Look at their fucking test to runs ratios

 

[JTG]

I'm really nervous. I never feel like this for any other series - this is the one that matters

 

[JTG]

Look at their fucking test to runs ratios

I can't

what is it?

 

[Balbi]

Their top four have about 7000+ each in about 80-100 tests

 

[JTG]
