It's Friday morning in Adelaide and I'm watching the Kiwi's vs the Aussies in the 1st Test Cricket match. I'm waiting to hear/see the Sheep guys in the crowd rip into Michael Clarke. Hmmm shouldn't he have dumped the model Lara Bingle over the phone and not fly back to Aussie to do it thus leaving his team and missing two of the one day games? Good on him for dumping her though.
The engaged couple have hit the news huge here in Australia since Lara Bingle's nude photo scandal. A few years ago her ex-boyfriend Brendan Fevola the AFL Full Forward for the Brisbane Lions took photos showing Bingle in the shower. These were published in a magazine last week. She is now suing him for distributing the pics and obviously upset she got dumped by the star cricketer. Do a Google search on "Michael Clarke Lara Bingle" to check out the dumped hotty.

Donald thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says,
"I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I
believe in giving.
I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my fans."
God can't help but see the essential goodness of Bradman,
and offers him a seat to his left.
Then God turns to Allan Border and says,
"What do you believe?"
Allan says, "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the
fundamentals of life. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I've
always tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing
fields."
God is greatly moved by Allan's sincere eloquence, and he offers him a

Judgey's on location World Cup
Final report!
"Myk,
just left Barbados this morning. It was an amazing final for both the cricket
and the circumstances. We rocked up at the ground at 9 only to get rained on all
morning until about lunch time. Most people thought the game would be abandoned
and re-scheduled for the next day but the sun came out and they announced a
reduced 38 over game was on.
The Aussies
started slowly but Adam Gilchrist soon found his touch and played one of the
best one day innings I've ever witnessed. 149 of the best and an absolutely
classic Gilchrist innings when the Aussies needed it most. The 280 odd the
Aussies posted was looking good until Jayasuriya and Sangakarra started teeing
off. the crowd was pretty evenly spread and the ground was absolutely pumping as
the Sri Lankans started getting us a little nervous. That was until Brad Hogg
came on and stemmed the flow of runs and got Jayasuriya caught at mid wicket.
Michael Clarke came on for one over and bowled Sangakarra with a grubber and we
were back on top.
Totally bizarre
circumstances to finish the game though. the light was basically gone with 3
overs left to be bowled. We couldn't see the ball at all in the crowd. If you
were playing cricket in the park with your mates, you would have been back home
and probably polished off a six pack by equivalent time but they kept playing.
Sri Lanka eventually conceded to the light and the 20+ runs per over required
only to be told that they had to come back tomorrow and face three overs. Tom
Moody, the Sri Lankan coach told them to go out and play the three overs out in
absolute darkness. The crowd had no idea what was happening and were well into
the celebrations before they came back out but got to celebrate again 3 overs
later!! it was a strange finish but we loved it none the less and I'm sure it
will be remembered for a long time. the Caribbean is truly an awesome place to
visit and the people were amazingly friendly and great fun to party with and
party we did. I'm sure there's more than a few sore heads this morning...Cheers"
Judgey
Judgey, thanks for that excellent on location report.
From Sun April 29. Australia wins the World
Cup defeating Sri Lanka by 53 runs! We retain the tile!
Wow! We won it again! This is great! I've been watching the web site all day and
after Australia scored a whopping 281 runs for 4 out off of 38 overs I believed
it would be hard for Sri Lanka to match that total. The Sri Lankan's scored 215
with 8 out. Australia winning by 53 runs.
What about Aussie opening batsman, Adam Gilchrist effort, he scored 149 runs off
of 104 balls to set up the victory. A Strike rate of 143.27, Wow!
The victorious Australian team was: Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist (W),
Ricky Ponting (C), Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Michael Hussey, Shane Watson,
Brad Hogg, Nathan Bracken, Shaun Tait, Glenn McGrath
The Runners up the Sri Lankan team was: Upul Tharanga, Sanath Jayasuriya,
Kumar Sangakkara (W), Mahela Jayawardene (C), Chamara Silva, Tillekeratne
Dilshan, Russel Arnold, Chaminda Vaas, Lasith Malinga, M Muralitharan, Dilhara

Judgey's on
location World Cup report!
From Tues April 17. "Myk
we're down here. Aussie boys are looking good. Will probably go through
undefeated which will be the first time ever. Got a big match on Friday against
the kiwis though who are shaping up as our biggest threat. We went to the match
yesterday against Sri Lanka. Awesome bowling display by Bracken who was almost
unplayable. Ended up with 4 wickets. Shaun Tait got spanked but Ponting
persisted with him bringing him back on whenever wickets fell.
One disappointing element of the game was the Sri Lankans resting three of their
strike bowlers, Murali, Vaas and Malinga probably because they didn't want to
beat us and end up having to square off in the semi's. A bit strange to me.
Anyway that's the short lowdown. I'll flick you another report as things
progress.
Big game today England v South Africans. Winner will probably be in the semi's.
Windies aren't out either if the Pom's win today. Cheers" Judgey

"Australia

Arif Imran
Kant
After seeing New Zealand and South Africa chase down huge totals against this
Australian team, many would have bet their money on the South African team.
However, the Aussies came back with a vengeance in this crucial clash of the
titans. It all began with Mathew Hayden which seemed to have found the touch of
yester years where he would be able to muscle the ball anywhere he liked. He
eventually went to make the fastest century, beating the record made by our very
own John Davison by a one ball. However, the most crucial innings was of Ponting
and Clarke, unlike the South Africans, these two were able to pace their innings
amazingly well. They first picked up singles and doubles, as soon as they were
settled at the crease, they were not afraid to improvise and hit the bowlers out
of the ground. These three players and a flat pitch were pivotal in making sure
Australia scored their highest World Cup score, 377.
When the South African innings began, it seemed the match was going to follow a
similar pattern to last time these two teams met in Johannesburg, where South
Africa successfully chased down a mammoth 434. De Villiers seemed intent on
taking the Australians to the cleaner until he was run out by a great throw from
Shane Watson from the boundary, he was on 92 at the time. However, the South
African were in a great position, they were 160 from 21 overs and cruising,
until Smith was retired hurt on 72. From there, the Australian juggernaut never
let go. They controlled the match and brought up the required run rate to above
10 with the help of some intelligent bowling from Watson and Hogg, and some slow
batting from Kallis. The big difference in the sides was the pace of Tait, who
fired it in at around 150 mph, and completely stopped the South African innings
when he yorked Boucher and had Kemp lbw. After that, even Smith returning could
not turn the tide in favour of South Africa and Australia won by a whopping 83
runs.
England go through to the Super 8!
England were thoroughly professional in their approach against Kenya as they
beat them by 7 wickets. After much delay the match began with 43 overs in each
with Steve Tikolo choosing to bat first. However the semi-finalist from the last
World Cup could not even put up a fight, they succumbed to a strong bowling
line-up including Anderson and Freddie Flintoff. They only managed a meager 178
thanks to a fighting 76 from their captain, Tikolo. England got those runs with
ease as Joyce and Pieterson let lose on a weak attack. Joyce played some
splendid shots in his 75, while Pieterson was more sedate in his 56 not out.
There is only one spot left on the Super8, and that will be decided with the
Bangladesh vs. Bermuda match, however I expect the Tigers to brush them aside
and make make history in the Super8 by surprising a few teams with their spirit
and growth under Dav Whatmore.
Myk glad to hear that you will talk about Bob Woolmer's death on Sports Rage. I
think gambling gangs are involved. Once during world cup they kidnap Pakistan
Captain Waseem Akram family forcing him to loss the match. I think there must be
ban on gambling on Cricket matches to control those guys." Arif Imran Kant.

Right: Oh no he's upset. Don't cry Georgey it's OK. Did you wack yourself in

Australia v Pakistan, 2nd Test, Melbourne, 1st
day
Pakistan 6 for 318 (Youhana 111, Younis 87, Butt
70) v Australia
An innings of
grace, poise and immense character from Yousuf Youhana lit up Melbourne on
Boxing Day and allowed Pakistan to hit back in style after their Perth debacle.
Youhana struck a classy 111, and along with Younis Khan (87) and Salman Butt
(70) lifted Pakistan to 6 for 318 at close of play on the first day.
After being
thoroughly outplayed on a bouncy WACA pitch, which starred with Justin
Langer’s (Aus) 191 in the first innings, a superb 97 in the second innings,
and a record breaking 8 for 24 from McGrath which sealed a 491-run victory for
Australia. Apparently, Pakistan's batsmen found the conditions much more to
their liking here – there was none of the steepling bounce that characterized
that wicket, and Australia's bowlers couldn't obtain much pace or seam movement
either. Considering the Australian Batting attack, Pakistan still has major
battles to win, if they want to claim victory against the Champions of World
Cricket.
Bangladesh v India, 2nd ODI, Dhaka
Bangladesh 229 for 9 (Aftab 67) beat India
214 (Sriram 57, Kaif 50) by 15 runs
Bangladesh
pulled off a historic first victory at home and also their first-ever win
against India in the hothouse atmosphere of a jam-packed Banghabandhu Stadium at
Dhaka, bowling India out for 214 to prevail by 15 runs and thereby level the
one-day series. Bangladesh's victory was a real team effort, featuring inspired
contributions from several players. They fully deserved their victory, first
converting a score of 88 for 5 to a competitive total of 229, and then bowling
tightly and excelling in the field to keep India shackled and just behind the
game from the very first over of the chase.
New Zealand v Sri Lanka, 1st ODI, Auckland
New Zealand 144 for 3 (Fleming 77*) beat Sri
Lanka 141 (Dilshan 48, Jayasuriya 43, Cairns 4-33) by 7 wickets
An innings of
77 off 92 balls from Stephen Fleming carried New Zealand to a comfortable
seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the first one-dayer at Eden Park in Auckland.
Having only 141 to defend, their fourth lowest total in one-day internationals
against New Zealand, Sri Lanka found themselves well short of the required
bowling firepower. New Zealand surpassed the modest target in only 34 overs.
Earlier,
Cairns was able to put his experience to good use to ensure there was no
prospect of a Sri Lankan batting revival on the day. His variations complemented
the good line he slipped into right from his introduction at the bowling crease.
He finished with 4 for 33 from eight overs, while Tuffey marked his return to
internationals with 2 for 17 off his eight overs
South Africa v England, 2nd Test, Durban, 1st
day
South Africa 70 for 3-trail England 139
(Pollock 4-32) by 69 runs
After being bruised by defeat in the first Test, a battling South Africa
came out fighting on Boxing Day at Durban. After winning the toss and fielding,
they never let up, blowing England away for 139 and reducing the deficit to 69
for the loss of three wickets by the close.
Once Marcus Trescothick fell for 18 in the 10th over, England quickly
subsided as Shaun Pollock captured 4-32. Andrew Strauss top-scored with 25 but was out just before lunch, and
then four fell in 11 overs after the break.
England removed both openers cheaply and had another boost very late in
the day when Jacques Rudolph departed to Steve Harmison, who returned 2-20."

Arif
Imran Kant who in the hell is Muttiah Muralitharan's? Is that the spin bowler
that got banned for chucking when bowling in Australia years ago? Surely
not???
I
can't believe a Sri Lankan is anywhere near the test bowling record. This
can't be right? I read it weeks ago & was meaning to email you. Just found
this on the web
"Australian
bowler Shane Warne became the highest Test wicket taker in the world equalling
Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan's record of 527 wickets on Tuesday when he
picked up the wicket of Upul Chandana on the final day of the second Test
against SL.
Now who among the duo reaches the 600-mark first only time will tell, but no
doubt an interesting race has already been started between the two great
spinners of the world."
"Myk
Aussie you are right
Muttiah Muralitheran is Sri Lankan spinner and he got banned in Australia due
to his bowling action. Now Shane Warne is highest test wicket taker in the
world. I want to see you successful in Sport media career you are working very
hard. I believe very soon you must be very important figure. I
will try to record your talk with SportRage." Arif

July 3 04 "A new Cricket competition in the US! Famous cricketing
sledges!" Myk Aussie
I
read on the internet there is a new cricket competition starting up in the US.
Now that is great news!
Famous
Cricketing Sledges from Garth Kramer Wright. You've probably heard about
them before but they are still worth a read.
1. Trueman and Aussie batsman.
In an England v Australia Test during early 1960's Trueman was fielding
close to the gate from the pavilion. As a new batsman came out he turned to
shut the gate, Trueman said "Don't bother son, you won't be out there long
enough."
2. Rod Marsh and Ian Botham.
When Botham took guard in a Ashes match, Marsh welcomed him to the wicket
with the immortal words: "So how's your wife and my kids?"
3. Daryll Cullinan and Shane Warne.
As Cullinan was on his way to the wicket, Warne told him he had been waiting
2 years for another chance to humiliate him. "Looks like you spent it
eating," Cullinan retorted.
4. Adam Parore and Daryll Cullinan.
Because Cullinan is well known for being Warne's bunny, New Zealand keeper
Parore greeted the South African, carefully playing the first ball from kiwi
Chris Harris, with a cry of: "Bowled Warnie!"
5 . Robin Smith and Merv Hughes.
During 1989 Lords Test Hughes said to Smith after he played and missed:
"You
can't f***ing bat". Smith to Hughes after he smacked him to the boundary:
"Hey Merv, we make a fine pair. I can't f***ing bat and you can't f***ing
bowl."
7. Merv Hughes and Javed Miandad.
During 1991 Adelaide Test, Javed called Merv a fat bus conductor. A few
balls latter Merv dismissed Javed: "Tickets please", Merv called out
as he
ran past the departing batsman.
8. Merv Hughes and Viv Richards.
During a test match in the West Indies Hughes didn't say a word to Viv, but
continued to stare at him after deliveries. "This is my island, my culture.
Don't you be staring at me. In my culture we just bowl." Merv didn't reply,
but after he dismissed him he announced to the batsman: "In my culture we
just say f*** off."
9. Ricky Ponting and Shaun Pollock.
After going past the outside edge with a couple of deliveries, Pollock told
Ponting: "It's red, round and weighs about five ounces." Unfortunately
for
Pollock, the next ball was hammered out of the ground. Ponting to Pollock:
"you know what it looks like, now go find it."
10. And of course you
can't forget Ian Healy's legendary comment which was
picked up by the Channel 9 microphones when Arjuna Ranatunga called for a
runner on a particularly hot night during a one dayer in Sydney... "You
don't get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat c***!!!"
12. In one of the tour matches in South Africa, Australia played Hansie
Cronje's province. Cronje was at the non strikers end, there was a short
chubby batsman on strike. Ian Healy yelled to Warne, (I think) "Bowl a Mars
Bar half way down...We'll get him stumped" The Aussies and Cronje were all
in hysterics. the batsman's retort: "Nah, Boonie fielding at short leg will
be onto it before I can move."
Wed,
Mar 30 04 "Did you know this about Shane Warne?" Garth Kramer Wright
"Mates when Shane Warne and Simone
first got married Shane said, "I am putting a box under the bed. You must
promise never to look in it."
In all their 10 years of marriage, Simone had never looked. However, on the
afternoon of their 10th anniversary, curiosity got the best
of her and she lifted the lid and peeked inside.
In the box were 3 empty beer cans and $81,874.25 in cash. She closed the box and
put it back under the bed. Now that she knew what was in the box, she was doubly
curious as to why there even was such a box with such contents.
That evening, they were out for a special anniversary dinner. After dinner,
Simone could no longer contain her curiosity and she confessed, saying, "I am so
sorry. For all these years, I kept my promise and never looked into the box
under our bed. However, today the temptation was too much and I gave in. But now
I need to know, why do you keep the 3 beer cans
in the box?"
Shane thought for a while and said, "I guess after all these years you deserve
to know the truth. Whenever I was unfaithful to you, I put an empty beer can in
the box under the bed to remind myself not to do it again."
Simone was shocked, but said, "I am very disappointed and saddened by your
behavior. However, since you are addicted to sex, I guess it does happen and I
guess 3 times is not that bad considering your problem."
Shane thanked her for being so understanding. They hugged and made their peace.
A little while later Simone asked Shane, "So why do you have all that money in
the box?"
Shane answered, "Well, whenever the box filled up with empty cans, I took them
to the recycling centre and redeemed them for cash."
Wrighty you're joking aren't you? Shane surely wouldn't be like this would he? "

coach and former South Aussie great was bashed in a Melbourne night club by a
security person. He was apparently celebrating Victoria's thrilling one

at the scene but family took him of life support the next day. The great
man will be remembered for many things but the fondest memory will always be
the Centenary Test when he hit Tony Greig for 5 4's in a row and also still
claims the fastest first class century. Truly is a sad day around the

Fri,
Jan 16 04' "ICC Releases standard backyard cricket rules!" Myk
Backyard
cricket is a great sport in Australia. Here's some rules for you guys in other
countries to follow & become great Aussie Backyard cricketers. From my
Aussie CDN mate Bazza.
"Myk Aussie & Mates the
GENERAL RULES are as follows:
1a.
Can't Get Out First Ball: Curious rule introduced to give the token
unco clown a reprieve. Smart-arse batsmen use it to hone their reverse
sweep; which becomes interesting when smart-arse bowlers use it to hone
their beamer.
1b.
Caught Behind (auto wikky): Since no one has the desire or the reflexes
to stand in the slips cordon, an edge onto the back fence constitutes
instant dismissal. Has signaled the death of the late cut.
1c.
One Hand, One Bounce: This popular innovation (When a fielder can dismiss
a batsman by catching the ball in one hand on the first bounce) is essential
to the very fabric of the sport. Importantly, it means a game can be
organized with a minimum of players. Note that this rule only applies when
the fielder is holding a beer in their other hand.
1d.
No LBW: When no umpires are available (or trustworthy), the only option
is to can the LBW rule altogether, ensuring cagey batsmen shuffle across
the crease as is test driving a Zimmer frame.
1e.
Six And Out (Then Fetch It): Introduced to combat space and energy restrictions.
It's rumored to have been initiated by a hapless bowler living
alongside a pack of Rottweilers.
1f.
Standard Over: All veteran backyard bowlers know that the standard length
of an over in backyard cricket ranges from anything between 10-12 balls.
You only relinquish the bowling duties when questioned by any fielders
or opposing team members. But only after the standard response of "Two
to Come".
2.
ESSENTIAL ITEMS
2a.
Esky (Cooler) : Strategically placed at the bowler's end, the esky is the
shrine, the fuel, the Richie
Benaud of backyard cricket - because it holds the
beer.
2b.
Balls: A minimum of 3 tennis balls is advised, as there's always some
smart-arse who delights in tonking them over the fence (see rule 1e). Advanced
exponents use electrical tape around half the ball to give it more swing
than Austin Powers.
2c.
Dog: Preferable of Kelpie or Heeler extraction, so it can field every
ball, including those that disappear under the house or thorny bushes. The
downside is that they produce more slobber than a 14 year old male Penthouse
reader. The upside is the dog will sleep for 3 days straight afterwards.
2d.
Rubbish Bin: It would be nice to think you can clean up your own mess,
but in reality the bin makes a perfect set of stumps.
2e.
Bat: Boasting multiple scratches and dents, and no grip left on the
handle, it's usually of 1980's vintage with a single scoop, with a fake
signature of Allan Border or Merv Hughes providing added backyard cult status.
3.
CODE OF ETHICS
3a.
Stumps: The game draws to a close when,
i)
Your host finally cooks the snags after the barbie has run out of gas,
ii) Macca hits the last ball onto the road and it disappears down the drain
(not withstanding rules 1e and 2c),
iii) You can't get that batsman out with any type of bowling pace or spin,
or
iv) Your girlfriend cracks the shits and wants to go home because you "become
a shit" when you hang around with your mates.
3b.
Flower Damage: Any respectful male will cringe and help hide the fact
that you have just topped your girlfriend's petunias. Somehow, the universal
threat of a week-long drought bonds the male species.
3c.
Spilt Beer: Ideally, the offending batsman should apologize profusely
and offer to replace the vanquished stubbie. Fat Chance. The feat prompts
shitloads of laughter, and the usually triumphant "Get me one while you're
at it!"
3d.
No Running Between Wickets: Every backyard cricket specialist should
know this phrase, "The words fun and run don't go together." Just ask
Arjuna Ranatunga. Besides, how the
hell are you supposed to run in thongs?
3e.
Courtesy Call: Always invite the chicks to have a bat. They usually
say no, but on the odd occasion, they do take a grip of the willow. You can bowl
a couple of dollies to her so she can hit before ending this freakish
sideshow with a yorker. Most chicks hold a bat as if they're chopping
wood, and they bowl as if throwing left-handed. And they can't handle
yorkers. Still, someone has to make the salad." Bazza
