    In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" : But u know this is nonsense right? It's like you're Popeye and Strongbow's your spinach! Which is hokum. Clearly u have the game, but have a mental block of only executing it under the influence. If u can remove this psychological barrier from your mind, you're @ least doubling your profit-making potential overnight - I'm sure deep down u know this yourself. Re: Ricky & Karl - I have every radio podcast and animated series, love it! :-) (hadn't heard that clip b4, v.funny as usual).

    Hey jingle.

    Do you know fallen geniuses have complex minds. So I cant explain JJ's problem :).

    I think you should keep the gooner baiting to a minimum though, especially after the last month!

    PS Unlucky with the GUKPT, very impressive performance I hope you can take some comfort for running deep but it was a sick way to go out. Im sure youll get another chance in the TSP final, as for me im now back to being a casual weekend player so wont get anywhere near the TSP final.

    Ayop Ace, yeah it was sick but I genuinely had a great time and experience - hope I can qual4another live tournie soon!

    Belated congrats on your job - I'm hoping to get better @ this sick game and go part-time later this year! Will be increasing my volume from Apr with my new desktop so will see how it goes.

    As4gooner baiting - I can't ever stop that, no matter what the table says!

    Up early fo't'cricket, sick start from Jimmy!

    This Sri Lankan batting line up looks strong all the way down though, not many weak spots so gonna be a tough day still imo.

    Very impressed with the team btw, it's exactly as I called it 3 days ago. Obviously not ideal to lose the toss and have to bowl first, but there's still plenty of bowling options, and the most dynamic/adaptable lower middle order in the World, to back up a top 5 full of runs!

    100% behind Ian Bell too, I dunno some 'pundits' are so quick to try and axe our World Class players, most of the people I talk to about cricket would have dropped KP a good 6 months ago.

    Plonkers!

    Talking of plonkers, what's Tony Greig doing commontating outside of Australia?

    PLO cash vids.

    After posting about PLO yest I remembered some vids I found a long time ago.

    Really rate the guy who posted these, his NLHE MTT vids are really good too, all linked on his utube page.....

    Poker day today.

    Couldn't have started much worse though with the England collapse in Sri Lanka!

    Weird performance, surprisingly positive, yet so many soft dismissals. I hope this one fail doesn't put us off playing positively in the future. It's not like we've been over agro and been found out...

    Broad and Strauss out to really soft, 'negative' sweep shots. Cook dismissal standard. Trott just made a total mess of a full toss. He didn't get out because he was trying to be aggressive, he just made a really poor 'stroke' ? If I can call it that. 

    Often pitches that look like they're gonna be unplayable on day 4/5 flatten right out, and the turn is slow/low....

    I reckon if we stay positive we can chase down 350. 

    Ofc we could fail again and be all out for 150 chasing 350, but at least we'll give ourselves a chance. Never gonna get there by blocking!

    I'm gonna stay positive anyway ;)

    -------------------------------------------------

    Poker today, I want another very boring/dull/unspectacular/modest winning session plz! :)


    *** edit, Monty just smashes Herath down the ground for 4 followed by Jimmys epic Morgan-like reverse sweep for another 4. Positivity ftw! ;)
  • edited March 2012
    Sri Lanka require 194 runs at 9.70 runs per over to win. Wait, this isn't a T20? England's batting had me fooled...

    I got evens on the last wicket not being out caught though, so made a few quid :)

    EDIT: Still can't believe we picked Patel >_> Get Bairstow in the team already!

    God you're well into your cricket aren't ya Doh. It's one sport I have just never been able to get into. Think I'd need someone to watch it with me and explain what it all means.

    Good luck on your grind today...when does the drinking begin?

    11.55 am :) 

    Just signed for a load of ale from Tesco, pretty good offer on for strongbow lovers ;)

    Panic buying innit! With em wanting to put prices up!! lol. 

    Will start with the $1 6max Turbo on *'s, 2.5k gtd & the £50 gtd, £3.30 Velo rebuy on sky @ 12-30. 

    #HighRoller.

    -------------------------

    Pingu, I like the Patel selection here, gives alot of options. Need 5 bowlers really, having Smittttt as the 5th is by far the best option imo. The alternative is Ravi, who I do think is an under-rated bowler, but Smit* gets the nod for me.

    Lankans 129/1 in their 2nd innings, it's not over yet :))

    I'm not a fan of Patel tbh, picking him just reminds me of when we had Luke Wright in the ODI side, he was meant to be there to score a few runs at 7 and bowl a couple of overs, usually ended up doing neither :') Patel picked up 2 wickets, but they were gifted to him by the batsmen. Everyone's saying he's a good player of spin, but so was Morgan until 2 months ago, so was Bell until Ajmal bowled a doosra at him, and his first innings dismissal didn't really make him look like a particularly good player of spin... Just pick the 6th best batsman in the country IMO, simple ;)

    Besides, Broad and Anderson bowled 35 overs, so I don't see why Swann and Monty couldn't bowl the remaining overs between them - Even if you have to throw the ball to Trott or KP for an over or two, or get an extra over out of Anderson in each spell - I'm sure Strauss could find the 9 overs he bowled from somewhere. I'd much rather see a proper batsman at 6 instead, Prior at 7, 2 spinners and 2 seamers, especially as batting is where we're having problems atm.

    Well if we're having a chinwag about the cricketz...

    Can't believe Eng are wasting their most potent overseas bowling attack for like forever AGAIN!

    Just shows what a monumental achievement Nasser's team managed on the Pak+SL tour of 2001, winning both series!* (I never thought that got enough credit @ the time).

    EvilP - Bairstow is not ready for test cricket yet, never mind test cricket in Asia! Did u c him doing his 'rabbit in headlights while simultaneously being tied in knots' impression during the ODI's in India? Patel is a calm and confident act, definitely the right choice in these conditions imo.

    As Doh says, I'm always4optimism ftw - just so frustrating to c the batsman throw it away again - we should have @ least drawn vs Pak & looks like the bowlers' excellent work will be wasted again, even if we take the next 6 wickets for 20 - Bah!!

    EDIT - to answer one of Doh's previous questions, "most under-rated international player", Samaraweera just been dismissed - they're teasing us...

    cricket! played by boring people (apart from freddie) watched by worse!!!!!

    Hasn't really gone to plan today.

    Was playing on stars, a $11 HU knockout comp 260 entrants, top 8 paid. Bit like a bounty hunter, but FA cup style every game we win, we get $5. Bounties don;t increase though, it's just a straight fiver.

    Got to the last 16, 1 off the money ($80 next, $475ish ftw)

    Played horrible. 

    Bad thing is tho, being superstitios, after game 1, I was rite thirsty.

    So had a good drink of cider, like necked 1/2 a pint.

    Ofc being superstitious, I did this after round 2 too.....

    Few rounds later, I'd necked a load.

    So now feeling like it's 10pm, but it's still sunny.

    Still, maybe I can make it work?:S deffo no cash tho...................

    Dizzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    Wasn't golf just invented to make it acceptable to wear tartan in public?

    While everyone is bangin on about cricket. Why r england so bad at playing spin. We have possibly the best spin bowler in the world in swann and we have merlin the spin machine. I think that's wat it is called and yet our top 6 ain't got a clue.

    Hi Alfie - I think it's more to do with Eng being bad at playing spin in Asia.

    I've no doubt we'd have comfortably racked up 400+ playing against this SL attack in Eng or Aus (and recent history suggests this would be the case) - it's simply about being comfortable in the conditions you're playing in. Equally, SL, IND + Pak will generally play a lot better in Asia than outside for the same reason.

    Cricket is fairly unique in how much of a difference pitch + atmospheric conditions make to the flow and outcome of a match.

    [  ] Boring
    [  ] Dull
    [x] Modest Winning Session


    First time brackets user, now officially a poker geek. aments. 

    ....

    Matt Prior is titling me this morning. I've worked out what he does. 

    He appeals for literally everything, and assesses the likelihood of it being out mid appeal. Then either continues to appeal, if he thinks it might be out, or stops abruptly. 

    Assess ------> Appeal imo. 

    Leads getting abit big. 

    Worrying.....

    9/4 an England win looks good to me though.......


    ------

    **edit - This dinnertime analysis is really annoying me too. How is 250 gettable but 275 is too many??

    Just know when that happens that the number 11 is going to get a 50 or something...

    Hey Jim, welcome to the thread :D

    Seeing you post has just reminded me to reply to your PM. Will do this afternoon after this final session on't cricket......

    100-2 @ close of play would be nice and set it up perfectly for tomorrow! Need to play some shots though, everyone is gonna 'get 1' if they just stand there blocking. Time is precious, use it well!

    Didn't realise you were a squaddie btw.........

    Yep, we've surely blown it now. (history certainly suggests so).

    And yet, and yet...

    A dazzling KP 100, with a dash of sparkling Samit and some late order slappage; all held together by some Trott&Prior sealant... and history could be made!!...

    ...then after I wake up and get into work @ 9am on Thurs morn, I'll see Eng 220 all out and all will be back to normal in the world.

    Ah well - Tottingham4the cup, COYS!!
