H_B Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 What a farce! Dyson really ballsed up this one. Oh well, a win is a win is a win. Looks like the England fielders did a good job to hide the grins till the WI were off the pitch. Viv won't be happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strauss was pretty much laughing all the way through his victory interview. Edited to add - hope somebody got a picture of Dyson when he realised what he had done...

The West Indies coach should be publicy flogged and then flogged in private just for good measure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainspotter Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Add one to the unemployment statistics in WI. Don't think he's done his prospects for this particular job much good. Dyson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way there playing just now surely even Bangla desh would give them a doing over at the moment.

Fuctifano Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Incompetence of the highest order by Dyson, maybe he just felt sorry for England. Saffers are on course for a thumping consolation win against the Aussies, ABDV has just tonked McDonald for 4 sixes in 4 balls, and McGain's figures are now 18-2-149-0. That's 8.27 an over, which is shite in 20/20 never mind tests. As this is Australia's last test before the Ashes, I can't see them going with anything other than 4 seamers and a 5th bowler from North / Symonds / Clarke etc, spin is the one area whereEngland have an advantage.... so expect them to prepare loads of greentops to nullify it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job done for the Aussies to be honest in this series.The Ashes will see Lee and Stewart Clarke back also.I fancy a 2-1 Aussies win.Good bowlers can get a lot out of the flattest wicket.Also Ponting is a far superior captain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havn't Scotland got a 20/20 game against them soon? We play them on 2nd June in a warmup for the 20/20 world cup. As already said, we have NZ and SA in our group in the tournament itself, and we play the Aussies in a 50-over match once the Ashes are finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napolean Dynamite Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 classic cock up. I was praying he realised he had made a mistake in that small room of the changing room so you could see the realisation sink in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewlay Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Looks like the IPL is going to be real non event this year if it is played outside India IPL will be staged outside India The IPL is tthe most lucrative tournament in cricket Next month's Indian Premier League will be held outside the country after organisers failed to secure government approval for the matches to go ahead. The tournament clashes with the upcoming Indian general election, prompting fears over security. An alternative venue is now being sought, with England a possible option. "We have to move the event because of existing conditions," said Indian board president Shasank Manohar. "The venue will be decided soon." Manohar said that all efforts had been made to stage the event in India but this had proved impossible and that discussions are underway with a number of other countries as potential hosts of the tournament. South Africa has been suggested as the early favourite to stage the event but England is also thought to be in the running. "We made the best of our endeavours to stage the event in India," said Manohar. "We're in discussion with some foreign cricket boards who have shown interest." The IPL is scheduled to be held from April 10 to May 24, with the elections for the Indian Parliament's lower house taking place across the country in five different phases between April 16 and May 13. Two proposed itineraries were made to India's federal Home Ministry by IPL organizers but both were rejected as security forces would be preoccupied with the elections. The security agencies in states hosting matches were subsequently approached and whilst some gave clearance for the matches, others refused to sanction fixtures until the elections were over. Concerns about security have been heightened after the recent attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team in the Pakistani city of Lahore at the beginning of March. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they managed to stifle a laugh at all was a remarkable piece of self-control. Why would they get an MBE? Cricket players hardly ever get recognised, whereas two bit footballers get them every year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Engerland ladies win the World Cup. A feat their male counterparts can only dream of. As for the IPL i guess SA is the favorite for that, weather still fairly good and the time difference will be a tad closer for Indian telly. Did no one foresee the potential security problems.I assume that the date of the elections has been set for a while now.Or is everyone jittery following the Sri Lankan problem in Pakistan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
