Horrible from England. I expected us to win but I thought Root and Stokes would at least have passed our score and asked us to bat again.

That was an awesome win & full credit goes to Boland & the whole team, goes to show how much depth we have bowling wise atm but in saying that, I was hoping for a bit more of a fight in the 2nd innings by England, they are so far below us atm. I'd hate to be them atm, they'd be feeling pretty embarrassed especially when they go back over there after this series.

Here you go, sing this to the tune of Talkin Baseball by Terry Cashman (Or talkin Softball on The Simpson)

Well Patty C had done it,
Australia had won it,
With Warney talking nonsense all the while.
Scotty Boland's debut made us smile.
And Joe Root's box lay smashed up on the change room tiles.

We're talking cricket,
From Melbourne to the Gabba.
Cricket,
But sadly not the WACA.

England's batsmen simply never learn,
Especially that chap named Rory Burns,

We're talking mitch starc.

Marnus and the Urn.


Your welcome.

If anyone is a BBL fan, tell me, how did my team Brisbane Heat lose that match to Sixers tonight? That was embarrassing how we lost that having them 8-47 but only getting 105 batting wise aswell. I've hardly watched our games this year because of how poor we have been this season. Why don't we sign a big name overseas player, Duckett has been one of our stronger players but he's certainly not an out & out strong player.

I was out there last night and at 8-47 I was ready to go home. I said to my boy just one more wicket and we’re going home. So glad we stayed!

How can you go home early at a 20/20 match

Easy. There was still another 7 overs to go and we looked down and out. If one of those guys got out then it would’ve been all over. Lloyd Pope wasn’t going to get the job done.

I probably wouldn’t have been the only one leaving towards the end. It’s tough getting out of that car park.

As it was everyone stayed and it was a great finish.

Yes well congratulations to you guys but as I said that was embarrassing we didn't win that at that stage we were at. We had Stars at 5-50 too & still let them get over 200 somehow. We have to buy a big marquee signing like Vetorri from NZ was but we refuse to do that these days haha. McDermott from Hurricanes is from QLD so why can't we go big for him haha?
