get the broom and sweep all these pretenders out . like wtf is going in england cricket. its just one big joke
winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

I know what you mean I think, he don't ever fancy him to just stay there, the old "seeing it like a football", he'll get 120/130 then try a massively expansive shot and get out like, which is cool, helmet in his hand, bat in the air and your buzzing like, but the greats would get in that zone, and make 200+.
I'd like to see him have a bit more fun when he got past a 100 like, chances are he'll have fielders back, given his 100, just have some fun, run it down to third man, flick it fine off your pads for four, let them move a fielder, you find the gap where they've moved from etc. He's that good, he could just demoralise them like. He thinks that clearing the ropes is the big one at times, the 'head downer', 6 singles off decent deliveries is just as demoralising, especially from my dibbly dobblies on a Sunday.
I have mentioned this in my personal social circles before and been lambasted for it. I am not doubting KP's talent but truly world class batsman make big hundreds, double hundreds and knock on the door of triple hundreds. You are correct he has only gone past 200 once so far.

No you weren't, your previous message on page 12 alluded to a 2-2 score in a one day series versus the Kiwis. Get your facts right before you try to put me down.

Well, the Windies have won the toss and decided to let us have a bat.
6-0 and it's off for rain, according to BBC Text.
Shah, finally, gets in for Bell and Jimmy's back for the Harmless one.
They're giving the place a real slagging on the text, what with the outfield looking like a beach, nobody able to get in to watch, scoreboards not being up to scratch and people walking around infront of the sitescreens.

Sounds like Friday at the Guildford Festival, with the corporate types obliviously strolling across the sightscreen just as someone is running in to bowl from that end!
More fun and games - they came back on after the rain delay, but it looks like play's now been abandoned for the day due to the run-up's being dangerous. They have said abandoned for the day, rather than the entire test match being called off, but reading between the lines it seems as though there wont be any more play at the Sir Vivian Richards stadium.

What an absolute farce. How can a new-built stadium cause this many problems? Absolutely dreadful. No wonder cricket in the WI is in such a parlous state when they can't even prepare the ground properly. As bad as England are at the moment at least those running the games and the itinerary can get the game started without bowlers and fielders risking injury in the outfield.
Fines and a serious reprimand from the ICC will hopefully follow.
