Not knowing the game as well as others, I cant really say how it would affect it. But I watched the Grand Final last year and that incident that was started by the Lions player at the end of the game IMHO warranted time off the field. I notice that there has been talk about his actions being deliber...

LOL, no comment.

New Zealand getting hammered at this stage.

Australia are in the order of 450 runs ahead, and are now just batting to waste time.

The Kiwis I have to say just look completely unenthused.

Dare I say this, but ATM they are showing us why they are an extremely boring cricket team.

International rugby league is farcical in my opinion and yes I'll agree the same can be said for International AFL. The point I was trying to make however was, why is it that the league mongs on LU are always claiming International RL is superior to International RU. Clearly that is not the case. E...

First, you suggest that close results generally mean a parity between teams. I would tend to disagree. Despite my predictions of a GB win in the final, there is clearly still a difference between the two sides. Just because the results are close, you couldn't argue that internationally there is now...

Ah Beaussie, I applaud your wit in your responses. Must say that I agree with certain points you've raised, but not the overall reason that I sense from your arguement. I'll make my responses as breif as I can. I'll put this in point form: * On the stadium capacities: No, I do not for a minute belie...

Well we had the two codes go up against each other for comparision today in the motherland of both codes. Firstly, lets get this straight, the Tri-Nations concept in Rugby League is nothing but poor imitation of the concept first developed by Rugby Union. Secondly, double the crowd that attended th...

Franklin was smashed by Langer in the 2nd over of the day. The over went: Nb, 4, 4, 0, 4, 4, Nb, ? Something like that. He's been smashed well in several other overs too. Certainly looks tense and a bit out of his league to be quite honest. Has the ability physically, but he's not thinking bowler un...

Currently 1/189 coming towards the tea break. Ponting is a man in a hurry, smashing boundaries at will ATM. NZ could be in for another long day tomorrow. Poor bastards :lol: Interesting to note that ponting hasnt failed to make at least a half century in the 1st innings of the Adelaide Test in the l...

Either way, i'll tip the Kiwi to win. Doesn't matter who it is

He might have other things to worry about during the game. Hey Uppy, have you heard anything about some type of running race taking place during the Test, between the slowest members of each team (I think it is in the lunch break on day 3 or 4?) Apparently, Lehmann as the slowest member of our team...

Q.6. Lehmann will be dropped from the team after an ordinary test with the bat! (sorry to disagree with you upp!) Generational change will be the reason given by selectors. Very possible. I suppose, for Lehmann, this could be a make or break Test for him ala Steve Waugh in Sydney against the Poms. ...

Q.1. Who will win? (or a draw!) Q.2. Who will be MOTM? Q.3. Who will make the most runs for each team? Q.4. Who will take the most wickets for each team? Q.5. When will the game finish? Q.6. Will there be any fallout/controversy from the game? If so, what? I'm still thinking about most of these que...

1. Unborn and un-thought of. 2. Youngen, wouldn't have understood the situation too well. 3. Living in Western NSW. 4. Driving into Taree, heard it on the radio. Nice time to be in a car :lol: 5. Watching on TV, felt a great sense of relief for her. 6. Sleeping. I got to work the next day and everyb...

Interesting. And I spose, given the points you've listed, that surely he'd consider retirement while he's still going "reasonably" well, and infront of his home crowd. Everything points to a fairy-tail ending to his Test career which he so rightly deserves. I remember hearing on the covera...
