In Response to Re: "Sit & DOHHHHHHH Diary" : Reminded me of this link.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTpB3bAGrI0 I've posted it before but it's still funny. Where is Bumble this series btw? He tweeted that his services "Weren't required". I know it's not a Sky production, but how can he be surplus to requirements yet Nick Knight gets the gig? "I thinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk" Poddington.....Just 1 more day of cricket to put up with! .....Until nxt week. Howzat? Posted by DOHHHHHHH
Lol, brilliant stuff - "I didn't know Mullally was on tour".

No idea why Bumble aint out there - seems strange that ODI specialist Knight is doing the test series ahead of him. Would be like the Aussies having Bevan instead of Langer.
Here's hoping Eng are still batting when I wake up!
Sigh, got in such a great position too. Must have been odds on favourites at 1 point.
Bit of run bad with the Short Leg catch (no way am I giving that guy credit for a brilliant catch). Fair enough he deserves credit for being brave, but how lucky was that.
I think we missed a trick not promoting Swann up the order. Not a re-active comment, I did say this last night, he should be sent in with license to play shots if it got tense. Kinda like a freeroll, a quick 25/30 can take the game away from Sri Lanka.
Before the start of our first innings yesterday I tweeted the following.....
Turned the telly on just in time to see the inevitable collapse, sigh... Finn/Tredwell and Bresnan in for Patel and Broad if Broad isn't fit for the 2nd test IMO. Posted by EvilPingu
Pingu, you must retract this statement.
I cannot take anyone who thinks James Tredwell is a Test Match cricketer seriously!!!!!!

Sighage... (WHY do they give us hope??)
Tredders will do a good honest job if nothing else, and look how far that got Herath!
However, he'll be bowling to SL in their back yard and he is right-arm orthodox without the "other one" in his locker, so is unlikely to pose any tricky questions.
Sorry for the late reply Dohhhhhh, yeah got referred to you by a fellow squaddie, heard you were the guru of HU hyper's! Still waiting for this reply mind, too busy smashing people about the hyper's i take it lol!
Everyone knows by now whats been happening if the diary drops off the front page. sighhhh
Gonna be @ the 3's w/ u splashies if this week/end doesn't go well!
Friday night, ridonkulous drunken 200nl HU shot, obviously got crushed, as I always do when I play someone even half decent.
Having said that though the guy that beat me was playing £5/10 HU last night. Expert game selection as usual.
It's hard to game select when nobody sitting @ a HU table will play me though.
I don't think these people realise that I only play cash HU when I'm either a) tilting, or b) too drunk. I would never do it if I was thinking straight. But still they insta sit-out? I blame them for tilting me even more, then eventually the guy that plays me has me on life tilt! grrrrr.
Didn't lose 'that' much, as I'd had a good day until then including a couple of speed MTT wins, just a few HU sngs tilted me.
Played Sunday too, not alot happened. Tiny win. dc'd 3 handed in an MTT when I had just been dealt aces. Had just made the money, with 100/60/40 payouts. I got back on when the tourny had finished, luckily the other 2 guys clashed and I got 2nd. Could've been worse.......
Think I'm also playing this afternoon, don't really wanna as It will mean I've played/drank 3 of the last 5 days, but for weekend routine purposes I kinda have to (or have 3 days off).
----------
Woke up naturally @ 5.05am this morning for the cricket. It's weird how that happens, no alarm or anything.
Fell asleep after Jimmys 'standard' new ball rampage @ drinks before dinner, and it seems it's been slow going since then.
If we can't score 400 in the 1st innings on this wicket, we never will!
----------
Jim gonna literally reply as soon as I post this! Sorry about the delay, hadn't forgot though, I just didn't remember either :P
On any other tour, we'd be delighted with that result after day 1. It's just this time evryone seems to think we need to get 20 wickets for <400 to have a chance of winning the test match!
I still have huge faith in our batsmen though, assuming they play the 'right way' (My 'right way' and Bob Willis' 'right way' are completely different)
But he's a plonker who's strides are always 4 sizes too small for him.
Good job he's got long socks!
IPL starting this week, anyone bothered about that?
I had a look @ the squads yesterday and like the look of Bangalore at a decent price.
Gayle
Dilshan
De Villiers
Kohli
^^^^ That's gotta be the best top 4 in the competition?
They also have Tiwary.....
Bowlers....
Zaheer
Nannes
Vettori
Murali
They're only allowed to play 4 foreigners, but that squad is very impressive imo.
Kohli and De Villiars possibly the 2 best T20 middle order batsmen in the World.
Will have £20 on them @ 11/2, and maybe abit more if today goes well. They don't play until the weekend so might leave it and see if they drift after the early games, hopefully some impressive early performances.
whats your thinking on the masters mate, do you think tiger and the paddy, at the end or an outsider? Posted by pod1
No idea with golf Pod-laaaaaa, not very clued up on it tbh always seems abit of a lottery as so many can win.
Just like to see Europeans go well, so yesterday was a good day to watch, when they eventually started showing some golf.
When Tiger was on fire and winning every tournament I never used to like him, it got boring. But would be great to see him make a comeback now after all the stick he's had.
I don't even get why he turned so rubbish? Just coz he cheated on his missus? How does that effect his golf???
Anyway tonnes of people I'd like to see win it, as long as it isn't some boring American like Cink/Toms/Mickleson/Johnson etc!
must admit got a soft spot for westwood, plz plz dont choke. as for woods i would love to see him win this and stick it in the eye of the doubters.
today i will be filling a hole with scalpings and then spraying my new ar se end of my my bike. moto gp starts soon, now theres a sport full of nutters!!
has gambled away more than anybody on this forum would earn in a lifetime, has battled lots of personal issues with family e.t.c and has the best natural short game ever
reasons for woods demise are mainly attirbuted to him completley changing his swing which is pretty major, even yesterday he mentioned how his previous "motor" patterns kicked in and he reverted to his previous swing.
it is a testamony to him to play as well as he does whilst in the middle of a complete revamp.
how is mickleson a boring yank? has gambled away more than anybody on this forum would earn in a lifetime, has battled lots of personal issues with family e.t.c and has the best natural short game ever reasons for woods demise are mainly attirbuted to him completley changing his swing which is pretty major, even yesterday he mentioned how his previous "motor" patterns kicked in and he reverted to his previous swing. it is a testamony to him to play as well as he does whilst in the middle of a complete revamp.

Well him winning wouldn't be anything new.....
Would be a 'boring' result imo, not a massive golf fan, but with most sports I don't 'follow' closely, I like to see home grown players and/or underdogs win.
That's why I'm now a Tiger fan when previously I wanted anyone to win but him.
Westwood winning would be the ideal result, English, good bloke, he's from Worksop which is just down the road from me, and he's in my fantasy masters team!
Any of the Europeans from yest, Jiminez, Molinari, Stenson, Hansen etc, it would be a really great Sunday if 1 of those made the final group!
I'd like to see any one of like 80% of the field win, just anyone but a boring American Ryder Cup player! yawwwwn.
To fair Dohhhhhh i agree with with you regards the Yanks being boring but Mickelson and Woods when they are not at their best and abit wayward off the tee they are good to watch. What does annoy me tho is the cameras always follow them even if they are way off the pace like yesterday when Leftie was +4.
Would be good to see Westwood win but just dont think he can put together 4 good rounds. If his putter works he will be in the mix come Sunday afternoon. His putting is shocking compared to the rest of top golfers
After the great start i had, i've been brought back down to Earth with a bump. I'm still happy with the overall roi for the month. I should get some decent volume in tomorrow too.

England to be 200-4 then make a mess of it. #prediction
Nailed the prediction, just a shame we couldn't nail the run chase!
Great test match though, it's a shame it's only a 2 match series!!!!! What's the point, really? Gotta be 3 ........
Tredders will do a good honest job if nothing else, and look how far that got Herath!
However, he'll be bowling to SL in their back yard and he is right-arm orthodox without the "other one" in his locker, so is unlikely to pose any tricky questions.
Bressers in4me if Broad is unfit.
More cricket plz.
Cricket going well too
Was that 11 quid loss to me? I hope it was
Just trying to get involved...
* actually these days he's into fish.
