What the hell was that ?
Last time, Gilchrist was wired when was batting as well. He hit two
sixers in two balls. On the mic, Slater asked for another six.
Gilchrist obliged.
Pushing the envelop a bit. Imagine if Gilchrist were out in his
attempt to hit the third six.
Vicky:
20/20 is hit & giggle. Nobody in Australia takes it seriously. That will
probably change. As others have pointed out the 50/50 game probably won't
last much longer so they'll have to take this shite seriously.
They team take it a lot more seriously now, after that Twenty20 world cup
loss, and they would be desperate to defeat the world champions as well as
get in a good frame of mind for the ODI series..

You got to be kidding. Look at the crowd in the stadium. And the noise!
Takeiteasy.
>>Vicky:
This real time communication between
commentators and players on the field should not be allowed
during play since the commentators can inadvertently relay
tactics, pitch conditions and other important information
that can be used by the team.
They do take 20/20 seriously, otherwise there wouldnt be 90,000
fans in the stadium on a friday.
ermmm its been going on ever since the game was invented...
Once time gilly was wired to symonds, and they could talk to the
commentators and hear each other, symonds told him what kind of ball was
coming so gilly was able to get ready for it. Thats a bit much....
Commonplace. But now they are trying to sepak to Sehwag and if he's
understanding one word in three then my name is Buddha.

This realtime communication also distracts players from the
action on the ground.
I dont like it one bit.
Whose genius idea was it ?
I didnt notice it in T20 WorldCup.
Thats what I thought too when I watched the commentators
speaking to Sehwag.
It really distracts players from the action on the ground.
> Whose genius idea was it ?
The team at Nine's Wide World of Sports? Given that the definition of
a "genius" is an IQ of 130 or more, I surmise that it was at least
three of them who worked together on the idea.

It's always been used in English T20 matches.

I doubt that Nine's team had to do any thinking at all. They just
lifted the format straight from its inventors at Sky UK. Two players
from each side have been wired up for televised T20 games in county
cricket since day one.

There was a charity match waaaaay back in the 60s (Old England vs Old
Aus or something) in which Benaud (bowling) was wired up and was asked
by the commentators to bowl Compton one down legside so we could
admire the Compton Sweep. Didn't last long as Richie looked like he
was wearing an astronaut's backpack.

Imagine what would have happened if Symonds had been wearing it in the
second test. Three to one Singh would still have gotten off.

Indian slaves FORCED the mighty first world Aussie masters to
their KNEES BEGGING FOR MONEY.
Not the first time it's been done, normally on testimonials and
the like, which is about at the same level as the mess that's
called 20/20. Awful version of cricket. It's just not.

I will graciously accept your appreciation.

Are there non-coloured people going about somewhere? I heard rumours of
such from far eastern Europe but haven't any proof.

Is this guy Dhoni ready for prime time? How on earth did they win the
20/20 and beat Australia? Or may be one trouncing does not make a
series?
Not if India keep getting a flogging like this.
Who cares?
Who were the other 5 that helped you type your response?
Or proven, beyond doubt, to be the lying, racist prick that he is.
Piss-weak comeback, you fuckwit.
Go to hell you piece of shit.
Wipe the shit off your chin, knob-sucker.
I'll kick your face into the back of your skull, you prick.
Fuck off turd-breath.
<snipped the usual irrelevant bullshit>
I'll show you what my fist looks like up the side of your fucked up head.
Windies thumped RSA in their 20/20 game. Unless one was playing an
entire ODO series of 20/20s (now there's a thought...2 games a
day...it's all over in 3 days) I'd not read much of anything into last
night's result.
