Blind Joe Death 11 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Nice too see the topic up and running again! Once again we can talk about the wonderful sport's that Australian's love to watch and play! P.S. First post/reply!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Sports 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Did a few minor updates as I re-made the topic. Still going to make a few major changes to add something in for the cricket (about the world cup) and rugby areas. Anyone feel free to suggest etc what we should include. Oh yeah and I'm a big wanker ~Chalk Edited March 28, 2007 by Aussie Sports Link to post Share on other sites
Chalk 251 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The Aussies have been slaughtered early in the Chappell-Hadlee trophy by Shane Bond. He picked up 2 early wickets as we are 2/22 or something off the first 6-7 overs. Why would be rest all of our players when we really would want some form going into the world cup. The selectors have made quite a few mistakes in the Chapell-Hadlee and World Cup selections. Link to post Share on other sites
All-Blacks 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 As the Super 14 has just started a few weeks ago, could you maybe add a section for it and make the points table for it? If you need any help for any Rugby Union related stuff, i'll most defininately help . Link to post Share on other sites

Chalk 251 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Thats the other part of the stuff I have to edit. The who does what jobs etc. I see that Storm and MrLeone are hardly on GTAF posting anymore so I'll send them a PM to see how they feel about it. EDIT: Just watching a few overs and it seemed the pitch is one for the bowlers. A lot seems to happen on the bounce. Edited February 16, 2007 by Chalk Link to post Share on other sites

JoeyLeone25 26 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Good pitch + Aussies taken knock in confidence = 48/3 off 20.2ovs. Let's hope you keep this form up till the end of April! Link to post Share on other sites

The selectors have made quite a few mistakes in the Chapell-Hadlee and World Cup selections. Yeah, some weird decisions with regards to selections have been happening lately. We're 3/51 after 21 overs today. Unless we win 2 of these 3 matches, South Africa with be number 1 in the world for ODI going into the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 426 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 You never know how good a batting performance is until both teams have batted. We could still win by 100 runs, you never know. If we lose this series, we lose the top ranking to South Africa. Yikes. (Edit: Damnit cice) Link to post Share on other sites
Chalk 251 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Losing the top spot to RSA because we lost like 5 matches would suck, especially when a few of them weren't on own home soil. Thats where the rankings can be a bit weird, seeing as though South Africa can win them against 'easier' teams and we have to play teams with more on the line, so to speak. EDIT: We made 148. NZ should be able to chase that down pretty comfortably, although it depends on how the bowlers for the Aussies go on the pitch. EDIT2: I thought some of the Aussie/Pommy commentators were biased, but listening to one or two before was just shocking. Edited February 16, 2007 by Chalk Link to post Share on other sites
Mafia Drive Gunner 2 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 For the first time in more than 30 years of ODI Cricket, Australia have been defeated by 10 wickets. A poor showing really. Also the first time in 22 years New Zealand have put on 100 for the 1st wicket against Australia. That was poor. Shane Bond was a real killer, with 5/23. That's amazing. The worst bit about it is that we didn't have the run rate to compete, and even if you are bowled out, in the 49th over, 200 should be the least you expect. Link to post Share on other sites

Thats where the rankings can be a bit weird, seeing as though South Africa can win them against 'easier' teams and we have to play teams with more on the line, so to speak. Well, South Africa did recently thrash Pakistan who are ranked 3rd in ODIs, but that was in South Africa. I don't really understand how the rankings work either. Pretty embarassing performance by Australia today. Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 13 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yeah, the selectors have themselves to thank for that one, and whatever happens in the World Cup. It's times like these you need Minties I really feel like giving away my support for the game. We were talking about it at school, no-one has any idea why the hell Stuey Clark isn't being picked, and why the hell Shane Watson is. Link to post Share on other sites
Chalk 251 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 We could always arrange for Watson to suffer an injury, therefore a need for him to be replaced. Maybe then the selectors will choose Stuart Clark. Otherwise, rinse and repeat. Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 13 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I can see it now: GTAForums.com rallies hit-men to correct selection travesty! Lee's injured. If he's unavailable, surely Clark will be drafted in. ..... This is a dark day for Jets fans all across Newcastle. Milton has knocked back an offer to remain with the club, choosing instead to move back to Columbia. I'm going to miss the abundance of long black wigs and white headbands at EnergyAustralia Stadium.

Jay 426 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 that was in South Africa. It is like physically impossible for them to score under 300 there. It'll be different going into this comp as an underdog. Haha. What we need now is a hero. Or two. Link to post Share on other sites
Chalk 251 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Lee said that he's going to play through the pain if it means making it to the world cup. With any luck the selectors put in Clark with any chance that they get. I actually think it would be good for the Aussies to lose the world cup. It will show the selectors what a big mistake they have made. Link to post Share on other sites
Mafia Drive Gunner 2 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Yeah, what a bastard. This is the same bloke who said just 4 weeks ago that he loved this city and didn't want to uproot his young family again anytime soon. He was a great player, a real drawcard, and I loved watching him play. Oh well, Paul Okon is going to play on anyways, lets just hope he doesn't overstay his welcome. The only good thing to come out of Milt's rejection is that we get to see Steve Eagleton get more playing time, not having to swap and turn with Milt. Eagleton is by far my favourite player to watch.

Justin 13 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Yeah, what a bastard. Well I wouldn't go that far... Funnily enough, Eagleton is my least favourite Jets player to watch, and I'm hardly a fan of Okon either. Milton was the life of the party, though. Disappointing, but I'm looking forward to see who the powers that be recruit to fill the rather large boots he's left. I hear they're keeping the trend of searching South America.

Mafia Drive Gunner 2 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Yeah, well I hope they do, that's where you find so many cult heroes and great footballers. Australia are 1/28 after 7 overs. Not as bad as last time, let's hope they can consolidate for cricket's sake. Hayden has blasted all 16 of his runs from fours to start off. Haddin at the crease with him. Jaques got 3. Who can blame the man though? He gets one shot it seems to play for Australia, and he always blows it because there is so much pressure placed on that one innings. I would like to see some patience demonstrated by the selectors, as they have done beforehand with Michael Clarke in the batsman's ranks, and Stuart Clark, Mitchell Johnson and Shaun Tait in the bowling ranks. Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 426 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Jaques failed again. I really want him to fire in the final game, I like the cut of his jib (oh man, did I say that?) 3/152 after 30. Rule of thumb is you aim to double your score after 30, so we're looking good with Hussbags and Hodge haulin'. The grand final for the A-League is on today. If Adelaide wins, I am going to bury my head in the sand because the wops in this city will go apesh*t. And I had one hour of sleep last night. Yay for spontaneous drinking games.

Chalk 251 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) Hussey just made his century with a few big sixes. Excellent performance by the stand in captain. We're 3/246 after about 41 overs. Looking to make it between 280 and 300. Hopefully we can hold off the Kiwi's and make the third game something good to watch. EDIT: Hussey out for 105.

Jay 426 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 And I had one hour of sleep last night. Yay for spontaneous drinking games. Okay I slept from midday to 4:30 What the f*ck? Can't we defend 300+ (or 400+) anymore? If you concede 300 or more runs against someone, it may as well be us. For f*cksake. Link to post Share on other sites

For f*cksake. We suck. Hayden's had his time, I don't think he's the best (or second best) opener we've got. I'm still not sold on Watson, despite his three wickets today, and I'm worried about Jacques. I would make another rant about bringing back Stuey Clark, but I've made my point enough times.
