Champions Trophy Final

yeah we need some new young bowling demons! I am friggin unimpressed with Tait, Dorey and Mitchell Johnson. The last couple of games Mitchell has shown signs of making good on his supposed talents though.
 
haha sorry for the late entry guys! I am relying on baggygreen for the live scores lol Does anyone know what will happen if the rain comes and the game gets called off? I know the duckworth will come into effect after 25 overs. Oh and yeah Phil jacques will be a gun, Pup too if he works out how to grind out runs when in a rut.. Watson is improving but I don't think he will be a gun, more like a contributor. Quick fact - If we win the champs trophy and wrestle the Ashes back then we will hold every home & away test trophies, world cup, champs trophy and the super series trophy :) Every goddamn trophy we can win - not sure about one dayers though ;)

Cliffy, i want to know this too!!

Do we lose because of the group match?

I certainly hope it doesnt come to that
 
Tait we can hang onto to as he will be a great bowler down the track, Dorey is a spud, instead of grabbing bowlers from WA and QLD for some Tassie talent they have some great pace bowlers in the making and there change bowlers are pretty decent too.
 
We have some good bowlers now! used to be we had the batters but not the bowlers :) Lippo... I was just thinking if the game is called a draw.. WI will probably keep the bloody trophy as defending champs? I dunno... is Richie Benaud a member of these boards? lol
 
UPDATE: 6.57 pm local time The news is that play will commence at 7.20 pm (local time) if there is no further rain. Keep your fingers crossed or are some of you praying for rain?!

Fingers Crossed here!!
 
What if it gets washed out tonight Many of you have pinged us with that question. The game will continue tomorrow. Not re-start but continue from where it ended.

Thank god for that! phew!

Great news!!

Who cares if it rains out today then :D
 
yeah let the rain pour! I am off to bed (its 3am over here)... they can restart the cricket at a decent hour tomorrow! ;) Who do we have left? martyn, Watson, Symonds, Clarke, Hussey and Hogg/Lee can contribute a bit.. we should have the game in the bag.. *fingers crossed*
 
there goes adam flopchrist!

Your not obviosly a Cricket follower......to say that about the BEST wicket keeper batsman EVER just shows your ignorance of the game ! He may not be in the form he once was but as a Australian supporter I would have expected you would give him a bit more respect than that :mad:

Well done Aussies - Good win =D>

i did give him respect but surely he is close to getting replace by some1 else. yes he is 1 of the elite wicket keeper but he is a shell of what he used to be and him starting as a opener can cause the team to collapes. i think his better off going in around 5th or 6th because of his tendency to go out for almost nothing. we have to stop living in the past and start preparing for the future and we got a few old veterans that we have to replaced very very soon.

i still think he is a bloody valuable one day batsman, as for future tests i think its time we look to the future. of course he still can be useful as a 6th or 7th batsman, i think he ( along with about 5 other current players) has only a year or 2 left in him.

Well that is a fair call and I won't disagree about him going in at 5th or 6th drop but to call him flopchrist is disrespectful (If your a true supporter) IMHO.
