A Farewell to Beige, Cream and Off-White Jackets: The Official Cape of Good Hope 2009/10 Cricket Season Thread

australia may be about to win this test but there is nothing more ;_; in sport than an entire wicket celebration that gets overturned, especially if it is ur first test wicket

kinda ;_; but mostly XD

lol...possibly it's even more ;_; when it happens again for your 2nd?!

haha

bollinger is a bit tasty. he was so bad for worcestershire a few years ago! now he makes mitchell johnson look like a piechucker

hahahahahaha that is the best shot ever <3 these gutsy windians tbh

seriously. awesome doomed heroics here!

it's like they're having a party about the fact they can compete w/ the australians, before their defeat has been quite concerned, like a birthday bash in a hospice

oh my god this is gonna become heartbreaking soon. they may even get within 50 ;_;

or nay

even the 10 and 11 are fighting, this is too much

THERE'S NOTHING ON THE HOT SPOT

BUT HE NICKED IT

DIDN'T HE

the ball had a hot spot on it, i think!

watson is such a spanner!

Steven Smith? Do I smell NSFW BIAS?

yes, tbh

good to see watson make an even bigger tit out of himself yesterday

srs

The England stream isn't working. So I'm watching BIG BASH

Ross Taylor and Dwayne Bravo teaching the Aussies how to BASH!

KFC BIG BASH I think you'll find.

My bad.

Hey Hughsie! Got you a KFC Toasted Pocketful!

Don't forget the KFC Backyard Bucket.

Let us take you back to 1986 when the LEGENDARY Timmy Zoehrer makes his ODI debut for Australia:

screw you, abdur rauf....YOU DROPPED THE SCRIPT

Shahid Afridi: is he the Greatest South Australian since Boof?

Magiiiiiiiiic Johnson!!

imo daniel christian and kieran pollard need a bit of credit too xp

Kieran Pollard is defintely the best South Australian of West Indian origin since Gary Sobers, true.

And that's the test! Another triumph!

No wonder you have been SB'd at least 153 times.

Here's an interesting T/S of great Australian cricketers and their reading habits for you: Stuart MacGill reading 24 novels on tour vs Adam Gilchrist reading Karl Marx on tour.

Was GILLY a wine-tasting expert? Did he have a WELSH MIDDLE NAME? Thought not.

It takes a man of socialist courage to battle his way past TIMMY ZOEHRER to get the wicketkeeping gloves for Western Australia.

At which point Timmy realised it was the WILL OF THE PROLETARIAT that the GLOVES would COME OFF

Lenin = Healy
Stalin = Gilly
Trotsky = Zoehrer!!

Wade Seccombe = deleted guy in the photograph

There's a delay! But here's Glenn McGrath and he's looking LAVENDER.

It's too wet to play cricket in our backyard, let alone at the SCG. So while you're waiting, here's the Australian Civil War of 1995:

Yeah, choosing to bat on a pitch like this in these conditions. RICKY PONTING, YOU ARE A FUCKING GENIUS.

i'm heading down there on weds Pato, if it's not all over by then. fancy bunking off work?

$50 and one day's leave to watch Monty Punter's Flying Circus? Pass.

It'll probably be all over by then anyway...

No luck on getting ODI tix, best I could do is get free tix for the KFC BIG BASH matchup between the NEW SOUTH WALES SPEEDBLITZ BLUES and the QUEENSLAND BULLS.

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
