Why apologise to me, Joe ? I didn't organise these games.

If Beckham DID play "in the local comp down the road here" perhaps they'd learn a lot from it.

It would be like Beckham playing in the local comp down the road here.
Whoever organises this should take a hard look at themselves.

Absolute holier than thou bollocks.

A disgrace?????????

was it was a disgrace the west indies had to play Oz and the poms in the mid 80's, when they gave them an absolute spanking?

any one sided sporting contest is a disgrace and shouldnt be held then it it?

I would reckon most teams that start off in test cricket got absolutely flogged in their formative years....apart from Oz and Poms who started it!

Your coment smacks of smug ignorance imho.

If I want your opinion London Dave I will give it to you.

Dave their should be divisions like in many sports such as English soccer and you work your way up to the top division, The current structure imo is a disgrace.

??????????????

You get my opinion for free, as, unfortunately at times, I get yours!

If you dont like it, use the ignore button. You'll see it up the top there, spelling is very similar to the word ignorant.

And how pray tell would these divisions work? 5 and 5...how is promotion/relegation handled? I assume you've figured all this out somewhat, or do you just sprout whatever titbit of info you may glean from some other equally ill judged and ill informed source and decide it's a brilliant idea with ever considering the consequences of it?

If you reckon the current structure is a disgrace, you must have some alternative to it, or do you just like to have a moan for the sake of it?

I dont have a problem with you at all London Dave,I particularly dont like the ignore button.
I havent done and hopefully will never use it.
If I gave it some thought I am sure that I could come up with a better system mate.
My original post stands sir and that is the current system is crap just like most English sports teams mate.
I am not paid to come up with alternatives.
Am I not allowed to dislike something without having an alternative.
In fact I do like moaning for the sake of it mate,especially over crap like this. As MAGFAN8 would say bangers game.
Am I ignorant?
Yes I am.
I do not claim to be omniscient.
How could anyone be.
No doubt you aremate and good luck to you.
Have another warm beer mate and a lie down.
REGARDS from Melbourne mate.

Australia won the toss and batted.

Gilly was out for 31 from 35 balls before Hayden and Ponting took the score to 1/112.

Then Hayden (42) Martyn (1) and Symonds (0) fell in the space of 2 runs to now see the Aussies on 4/117 with ponting on 36 n.o.

Rafique has 2/24 from 8 overs.

Post by **Donny** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 1:04 pm

After 45 overs, Australia are 4/216 with Ponting on 81 (3 sixes) and Bevan 50 from 51 with 2 sixes, the not out batsmen.

What was it like before 45 overs Australia are 4216 with Ponting on 81 3 sixes and Bevan 50 from 51 with 2 sixes the not out batsmen ?

Post by **Donny** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 1:30 pm

Ponting scores his 14th. ODI century and 6th. as skipper. Bevan was bowled for 57.

Ponting caught in the deep for 101, attempting his 5th. six.

Last over coming up. After 3 balls, it's 6/251. Harvey attempts a six from the last ball but is caught at long on.

Bangladesh is chasing 255 to win.

The Bangladeshis are learning heaps out here.

Mohammad Rafigue (2/31), Mashrafe Mortaza (2/41) and Alok Kapali (1/43) all bowled 10 over spells that any ODI bowler would be happy with - especially against the Aussies.

Post by **Donny** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 3:38 pm

After 18 overs, Bangladesh are 5/41.

Gillespie bowled immaculately for 7 overs to take 1/2.

Harvey has bowled 2 overs and has 2/4. Bic has the other wicket and there's been a run out.

What was it like before 18 overs Bangladesh are 541 ?

Post by **Donny** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 4:38 pm

A good partnership of 66 between Hossain and Kapali was just ended by a good return catch by Brad Hogg. Hossain went for 27.

Kapali is batting well and has moved on to 47 with Bangladesh on 6/115 after 35 overs.
