The Cricket Thread

Bit Ironic that you call me deluded when your own Ian Chappel who has played more cricket than you have seen thinks otherwise. And since you said stick to facts I am sticking to Facts. Fact is We are World Champions!!. Fact is We are above you in ODI Rankings.

You are talking about bunch of cricketers that have retired. Totally like a Liverpool fan you sound.

It seems like you're having trouble accepting the truth. In that case there's no point continuing this.

Mate, nobody is denying the fact that Australia HAD the best squad and were dominating in cricket in late 90s and most of 00s. But you need to realize the fact that a current Australian team in nowhere close to being world class. Don't let the result of T20 affect your decision making. It's T20. You get the point.

Cast your mind to early 90s. or even mid 90s. West Indies fan would behave just like you are right now, and they had world beaters from Stuart Campbell, Brian Lara, Jimmy Adams to Walsh, Ambrose, Bishop, Hooper. Look where they are right now!! Every team goes through highs and lows. This is just a low for Australia after a very long time. You have to accept that and wait for the glory days to return and then start bragging. Let me assure there is no point in hanging on to the past.

Also no team would dominate a game like Australia did and West Indies did in mid 70s and 80s. These team comes in a decade. You were fortunate that Australia HAD that team. Even Australia won't be able to produce a team like they had again.

Bradman and the Invincibles? We will be a great side again. That may take a while. I'm not arguing that. We HAD the greatest Test side of all time. We may never produce quality like that again, sure, however I find it very unlikely that we won't.

Oh-ho!! Gayle storm and Pollard came to the party as well. 205 for 4 in 20 is ridiculous. Would be the best chase if Aus do it.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Gayle and Pollard are absolute fucking monsters. Horrible bowling. Doherty is and always will be a fucking Donkey. Watson and Warner are the keys here. Looks too unlikely to chase down though.

Warnie basically ripped Kono a new one there .. no offence, mate.

What? How? Your Indian bias showing there, mate.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Unlucky Warner. The game is already practically over lol.

[Ankit 3,176]

Dear #icc, those implements Gayle & Pollard were wielding, can you give them another name? "Bat" is what VVS laxman and Mark Waugh used.- Harsha Bhogle on twitter.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Game over. Ah well.

[Strike 7,217]

Australia gettin their asses handed to them.. Brilliant stuff from the Windies.

[Madmax 9,219]

Your Indian bias showing there, mate.

Not really, Warnie and I disagree on a lot of things, even those related to Indian cricket; go back a few pages for proof.

What your posts are showing though, is that you're an Indophile. One thing calling Harbhajan a racist guy (something an ICC panel cleared him of), another to brand India as a racist country based on the actions of a minority.

[Madmax 9,219]

Back on topic, really pleased for the West Indies. T20 is all about entertainment and they're one team who give you that. Hope they bludgeon Sri Lanka in the final.

[Strike 7,217]

basically you went from saying harbhajan is a racist to india is a racist country anyway. in what universe is that not "delusional". plus as already stated, don't try and brand harbhajan in the symonds monkey-gate because he has been cleared and he was not racist - something that even australian cricketers admitted.

i hope its a close game. anorther gayle storm would kill the interest

Wow!! Aussies got Destroyed there!!

One Man team. Watson doesnt perform and they are out.

Could argue the Windies are. If Gayle doesn't put in a big knock, the rest of the team tend to collapse..

Made it further than India LOL
