The Boxing Day Test 2005

[craigb]

Sideshow Bob will go to Sydney.

Well played Bob. Why didn't you do that 5 tests ago? :confused:

Actually, I was secretly glad that he didn't get a ton in a session.

I still want us to win but he's no Doug Walters.

Yeah, Doug couldn't bowl.

Went home for lunch (working today) to see Matt and Bob snick a few, then knocked off early, just got home to see Bob get lucky with the ball again.

There was this long low moan coming from somewhere in the crowd, or even beyond.... are you OK Gumby???

[martrix]

well, well,, well..... All hail Symonds!!

[Grunt]

I still say drop him. What crappy figures. 2 for 4.

[namtrak]

Oh please ! Symonds takes 3 wickets, one of which wasn't out (the LB) and the country goes mad thinking we've unearth....

Hello Brother GumbAss,

3 for

72

2 for (and counting)

what a mug

[Gumby]

See, I just can't win with you lot. I do my patriotic best and stir Crusty up for you, inspire him to greater heights and what thanks do I get. None!
I get you a test victory and my efforts go unrewarded. That's life I suppose.

Oh well, what about Phabulous Phil - he doesn't look test class to me.

[craigb]

Why didn't the bloody Sarth Efricans roll over this arvo?

Now everybody has to go back to the ground for an hour or so instead of going for a game of golf.:confused:

Or in the Sarth Efricans case, a net seeion

[lesmeyer]

Crusty got lucky - this is the lucky country ain't it??
That was my biggest fear - now Ponting will say - TOLD YOU SO !!!
Bugger !!!!
But -
Crusty must go !!!

[bitingmidge]

Now this is all a bit confusing, we've got the Sideshow Bob faction and the Crusty faction.

Can we clear this up before the next test?

And no, if he'd got lucky, he would have hit a ton, and got five fa in the first innings.

Cheers,

P

Leave Jaques in, Symonds can go and Boof Lehman can play. Let him come back and show them which end of the bat they are meant to hang onto.

Studley

[lesmeyer]

Who said there were factions??
I reckon he has 2 nicknames so that any one can be used depending on the weather. He looks a little like (Ok- they could be twins) Crusty the clown (Simpsons) and he usually does the sideshow Bob act. I think ...

[Daddles]

The sooner we get rid of the gollywog the better. Pulling out the occasional performance doesn't cut it with the depth of talent we've got in this country

Richard
make that 3 factions

Leave Jaques in, Symonds can go and Boof Lehman can play. Let him come back and show them which end of the bat they are meant to hang onto.

Bring back Kim Hughes. :eek:

[Grunt]

Allan Border should be number 5 or at a pinch that hack Steve Waugh.
