The VB Series
« on: Jan 29, 2006, 04:14PM »
just thought i'd see who you guys think will win the final

from the looks of it, if the Aussies beat Sri Lanka today (Perth) Aus will definately have a spot in the final.

it's getting pretty close to the finals now, they start on feb 10th.

Good to see Gilchrist hit out but (though I missed the first 50 or so due to Carnivale and flicking onto the Aus Open Final...

gillie is a dead set legend.. captains the team to an awesome win, and gets himself a century.. champion.

and australia should win. if they dont, who really cares? they have won enough lately. i watched them play at the telsta dome in melbourne the other week, and it was one of the worst games ever.. south africa didnt score over 4 runs an over basically.. plus it was like 58% humidity.. so it was real fun.

anyways.. australia should win.. but if they dont, i hope sri lanka win.. cos the south african captain.... arrr.. graeme smith.. is a wanker.. lol..

peace

Yep, they'd have to lose both of their games against south africa, and give away two bonus points, and then sri lanka would have to beat South africa twice and get two bonus points to be equal with australia on the points table... and then

Quote
# In the event of teams finishing on equal points, the right to play in the final will be determined as follows:

# The team with the most number of wins
# If still equal, the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s) who are equal on points and have the same number of wins

so because australia has beaten sri lanka in 3 out of 4 games, they are guaranteed a position in the finals even if they end up being equal on points. 

bah... :P

i'm also hoping for an aus v sri lanka final.. not all that keen on the south africans, i mean, i'm surprised they haven't had a whinge that they don't have enough fans  ::).. god, they've complained about just about everything else.

roy is magic in the field and on the pitch. gilly was on F I R E. awesome cricketers. made for great tv, but didnt stop me checking tennis scores at the end of each over lol.

i'm hoping jacques gets another shot at one dayers soon, but yeah, not at the expense of katich, he hasn't done enough wrong to be shafted.

All this carry on with the racial slurs at the WACA is absolute tripe.

The slurs were against Ntini (The black fast bowler) and said in AFRICAANS (Dutch-Boer South African Language)

They are being slug by all the racist, rednecks, yarpies, boers that fled South Africa as apartheid ended fearing reprisals...

Not australians saying it at all.

heh

damien martyn was pissing me off the other nite. hes a way too cautious player. its because of him i reckon that the run rate went to shit. they need to either put him back further in the order or just skip him completely in this sort of match.

Look i (recently) played cricket at the highest junior level in South Australia. However, due to injuries i have had to put a hold to it and concentrateon fetting this injuries fixed! BUT yeah i have always idiolised ROY due to the magic / presence he has in the field. It used to be Punta when i was younger but ROY is my idol!!!

UNTILLL a little incident that occured at the torrens arms hotel in Adelaide when he was hear for the test match. All i will say is him and hussey now have a different outlook from myself  :-\

But when it comes to ROY i jsut hope his form is goign to stay with him for a while, as he is by far a confidence player.

oh and sorry guys, ADELAIDE oval owns any stadium in Australia for atmosphere ;) ehhhee

Lies...All Lies.

Basically it boils down to the fact that tha Adelaide Cricket Ground is the last GROUND in Australia. Sure...the MCG is a great Stadium for packing in heaps of people and more bums on seats for extra dollars but as a cricket ground the Adelaide one still has it.

The 'Gabba was best just after they removed the dog track, but still had the fig trees, wooden benches, the infamous gabba hill, and the old scoreboard. As soon as that stupid aerial ping-pong took over the place they fucked it... >:(

Errr, the adelaide cricket ground isnt the last "GROUND" in australia, there's heaps of others.

Bellerive Oval in Hobart for example...




as far as grounds that international cricket games are played at then yeah, as far as I know there are only two real 'grounds'- adelaide and Bellerive

Don't get me wrong, I would love to get to a match at the adelaide oval one day in the future (hopefully when the MCC has another memeber transaction thingo between the grounds).

The MCG is a stadium, obviously... its also one of the most awesome places on earth with 100,000+ people all screaming at once for their country, or their team.

The best cricket match I have ever been to was the Tsunami Appeal match at the 'G... when it was still a bit of a mess, with the members stand only just completed and the new olympic stand just a pile of concrete.  70,101 people were there, everyone cheers everyone else.  Murali bowled without the resounding calls of 'NAAAAOOOWWWWW BAAALLLLLL!!!' for once ;)  Gilchrist batted with Brian Lara... awesome stuff.

The absolute best.
