Woke up 3am turn on Prime to see Inglis and Maxxy winning it !
When England 2-200 at 30 over mark and people say you can double it
So thinking a 400 chase was very pessimistic
Turn off TV but woke to see they didn't get to 400 and although both Head and Smith failed we cruised it in
Thanks Josh and Alec and Short and Maxxy and even Marnus ?

It was a fun one.

That was a good fighting win by the boys.
England batted well so our inexperienced bowling attack did a great job to restrict them to 350.
We then lose our two most in form and experienced batsmen for bugger all and everyone else chips in to get the win with some excellent hitting.
Well done Australia!

Did you stay up and watch it?

Did you stay up and watch it?

No I retired when Smith got out.
I thought we’d have a crack at it as the boundaries were small but the way Head and Smith performed, it didn’t seem it would be our day.
Surprised to see we did so well.

I fell asleep on the lounge for a good spell. 🤷‍♂️

More chance of WHU beating Arsenal than Australia winning

Well that was a couple of interesting predictions.

Just watched the highlights, wow, what a victory. Come on Aussies.
PS and the Hammers did win !

Yeah I gave up on us once Smith got out ....must have been an amazing watch for those who stayed up ....and to wake up and found the Hammers got up .....rare weekend having the Tigers and WHU both win

I had all intentions of watching but fell asleep on the lounge before that even so you did better than me.

Anyway back to the important part, which lotto numbers are not winning?😎

Got 5 straight numbers many years ago .....it paid just under a grand

 

[Dr_Ice]

Now 2-150 in only 22 overs
We really don't look like getting another wicket
2-166 at half way mark
Expect we chase 400
So the "runs on the board " will put us under pressure and Expect a big loss
100 runs +
Only best chance was to bat first
Time for bed !

So if the loss vs Sri Lanka was our worst ever then you must think this was one of our better ones given the expected 100+ run loss mid match

Noice.
Mrs got 4 the other week and was spitting chips on the pissy amount she got.
Gotta be in it to win it.

Yep woke up happy with egg all over my face
They were 200 at 30 over mark only 2 down which normally means 400
To then win easy despite our top 2 batsmen failing is a great achievement
Josh Inglis " what a great knock "

 

[Stevec]

I see Capt Pat announced he will be ok for the IPL !
Of course he will .Its worth millions !
He said its good preparation for the WTC ?

I’d rather they just be honest about chasing the dollars.

 

[Pom Tiger]

I have an awful habit of being right when I don't want to be . Enjoyed Inglis knock about as much as I didn't enjoy Joffra bowling medium pace half trackers. He'll be injured gain soon.

I gave a fake $10k scratchy to an asshole, and one to a mate, one Xmas. It was really funny when the asshole thought they won, hilarious.
But it was really sad when I gave one to a mate, and I’d never do it again to a mate. It ruined Xmas. He was not happy, well neither of them were happy, but the only unhappy asshole you care about is your own.
