Only two more sleeps
..until the boys are back! This site has been very quiet and sooooo boring, we need a bit of news and excitement. Have a very positive feel for the new season.

Re: Only two more sleeps
Is training open Monday or any time this week? Who is going to training / taking pics?
AwayInUSA no longer ... have based myself back in Melbourne for a decade of Saintsational Success (with regular trips back to the USA)

Re: Only two more sleeps
Depends what you define "decent cricket" as? The Aussies have faced perhaps one of the worst English sides to ever tour and are about to sweep them 5-0. Call me insane, but I don't regard a one-sided series as being decent at all.spiral3 wrote:yeah it's killing me, lucky there's decent cricket to watch!

Re: Only two more sleeps
Nah, I usually enjoy watching Cricket but this Ashes Series has been disappointing because it has been so one sided, I'm completely over it.spiral3 wrote:ok, you're insaneSainternist wrote:Depends what you define "decent cricket" as?

You sound like the people who rang up radio stations when we won all those tests in a row in the late 90's early 2000's who wanted us to lose because it was boring winning all the time. You know what I find boring, us being a very ordinary side and losing to the poms here and over there. Nothing boring IMO if we are much better than them and win easily. Bet Geelong supporters werent bored when they smashed PA in the GF.

Re: Only two more sleeps
Getting back to the boys - does anyone know if there are any open training sessions this coming week?

Re: Only two more sleeps
I don't know who "us" are, but personally I have trouble caring about the Australian cricket team. In fact the only sport where I actually support the Australian team is soccer. So when I'm watching cricket I just like a good contest - not what we've had in this series.plugger66 wrote:You sound like the people who rang up radio stations when we won all those tests in a row in the late 90's early 2000's who wanted us to lose because it was boring winning all the time.

Well seen that we live in Australia most people would support us being Australia. Well all my mates do as well as just about everyone at my footy club. A close game with us losing doesnt excite many people I know. Us in this case is Footscray JUST.

What's all this shite got to do with the topic at hand?

Nothing but nothing had happened. No rapes, pillages or natural footy disasters to speak of for over a month now. .Jacks Back wrote:What's all this shite got to do with the topic at hand?
and plugger for a change is right.
Suck it up England you Losers.
IMO they should organise a charity T20 game for Day 5 of this test now.
What irks me with Tests is that they often finish with a full day in hand yet apart from 1970 when they played an impromptu 50 over game there is no built in contingency plan to utilize all days for cricket.

It doesn't really matter anyway as there is bushland all around the place. If you headed down for a look I'm sure you would be made welcome !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Unfortunately, there wont be much to cheer about in Brazil, we are just there to make up the numbers and go home early.bergholt wrote:I don't know who "us" are, but personally I have trouble caring about the Australian cricket team.

One thing is for sure, Australia will never get even close to winning a world cup.
But getting back to more important matters, just want to hear players are training well, and no early setbacks or injuries.
Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.
