AFL - Sam Newman Response (Funny)

Don't know what year this was from but I think it's recent. Basically Sam Newman taking a call on Triple M radio put to some cool flash animation - obviously he was banned for a while after this

The WACA - Day 4

Despite awesome performances yesterday from Hussey, Clarke and Gillie, England are on the come-back and are currently putting in a tremendous effort. I think respect is due to a side that won't lie down and die that easily and for the first time during this match the WACA crowd is being exposed to some even sided cricket.

However let's not forget the incredible feat yesterday from Adam Gilchrist, that man is pure class and if there was any example of redemption after being down on form, then yesterdays time he spent at the crease was it. The only disappointment out of the day was the he was unable to smash the fastest century record which has stood for 21 years. Well, at least he's the second fastest now, but it would have been nice.

Hussey and Clarke were the other two with centuries to add to their names as well.

I'm personally hoping (and it's more than likely now) that play goes on tomorrow, which means I can run along to the ground early enough and buy a ticket so I can at least say I was in attendance when (hopefully) the Ashes were taken back.

I'll let you all know if I go and will try my hardest to take some decent pics, but I'm not promising anything.

Disappointment of no tickets

It's a long story but it ends with me basically not being able to go to the WACA today to see the 3rd Ashes test. I won't get into details but essentially the membership tickets that I thought were coming to me weren't....and this was only found out a few days ago!

Anyway after an exhausting morning of Christmas shopping (I hate it and I'm being stingy this year considering my financial situation) I'm finally sitting here in my living room and have just seen Symonds hit a four off his first ball after coming in for Clarke who was bowled and caught by Harmison.

We're in a bad situation at the moment and the fingers are crossed that Symonds can prove why he was selected to replace a retiring Martyn. If he can at least get us a century we might be in a better position that we are right now - 4/125.

The Barmy Army is in full swing....oh Hussey just drove for four, awesome!

Panesar is proving to be useful...and dangerous, he's bowling lovely line and length right now and Hussey looks a little unbalanced.

Symonds just nicked it to first slip, alllllmost tragedy there, very lucky, that's the over.

I'm sick and tired of this Samsung commercial! Dumb bitch can change the room around herself!

Anyway back to the WACA. Since lunch it's been 1/61, not great.

Great running between the wickets there to get the single, I wish they'd stop replaying that last catch. Symonds almost had his head taken off there, quite amusing. I'm probably the worlds least biggest Symonds fan.

Well bowled again, very nice.....for an Englishman.

Wanna Wanna Wanneroo Mazda....no let's fuckin not! Whoever wrote that jingle should be castrated with a rusty blade.

Panesar's back in, dangerous dangerous man. Lethal. If they'd brought him in last week the poms would have won at Adelaide.

Loooooooooooovely, nice boundary there by Hussey, you can tell that the poms are outnumbering us at the oval though because it was a little too quiet.

OUCH! I would have given that LBW, luckily the umpire didn't agree with me.

Another commercial break, maybe I can squeeze a coffee in here. Nope no time!

Oh shit Flintoff's in, here come some boundaries! :)

And I was right! First ball is a 4!

Maybe I should say that every time he bowls and over.

Lucky you didn't run just then mate, alllllmost out.

"Right off the meat of the bat" HE SAID IT, HE SAID IT! Lawry....quit your day job.

Anyway I'll leave you folks there because I'm getting tired of these second by second updates, I'll be back tonight with my thoughts on today's session.
