The Consolidated Cricket Thread

I thought it would be good to make a thread for all the cricket fans out there to discuss domestic and international cricket and post scores and results.

Watching Tassie and queensland atm, tassie have a young quick Ben Hilfenhouse this guy is a complete weapon bowling 140kn plus every ball any cricket fans out there know much about him

 

So pumped for the cricket season!!

Ima be seeing the Black Caps at Queenstown, my first ever Black Caps game i shall be attending, so excited and Invercargill are hosting this Twenty/20 comp and all the first class players are gunna be playing so thats awesome too.

Then theres the ICC Champions Trophy!!...ahh i'm all set for the summer. w00t.

 

qld are just coasting along will win easy maher and hayden having a field day, all bowlers were looking a bit overly quick today i must agree, i think even ashley noffke and rimmington hit mid 140s today.

 

if fox sports played pura cup as well as the 1 day matches i would be in heaven
oh well lokking forward 2 andrew johns dying on the pitch in 20 20

 

Yeah, I wish they were doing the Pura Cup too, atleast they're showing the final.

I can understand why they're not showing the whole season though. They have to put other sports on too.

 

the Champions Trophy is gunna stuff me up..well..at most ima only be able to see the 1st innings..IF THAT!!..stupid school..and stupid time difference.

Chris Gayle is in awesome form atm. The same can be said for Brian.

What's Lou Vincent been playing like lately? He's got so much potential that bloke, the day he fulfils it, ill be a happy man.

 

agree when he got that awesome 100 agaisnt aussies i thought he would become a super star.
but he has yet 2

 

Exactly. I've seen him play some awesome knocks, but some really crap ones too.

He's played some blinders against Sri Lanka.

 

Havent seen much from Lou lately..seeing as cricket season aint on here atm..well domestic aint.

 

yeah gayle has started to mature as a batsman, last 1 or 2 years instead of coming out trying to dispatch every ball to the fence he as developed maturity in his batting with patience and in result is scoring frequent big scores. his bowling is also more than decent.

 

chris gayle is good.
what you rate his chances of being player of tournament in next years world cup?

 

00

 

slim to none his team wont make it far enough

 

OOh yeah NZ won their first warm up match.

w00t can't wait for monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

is bond playing or his back broken again

 

Playing ..I love Shane Bond..he is awesome.
