Australia win the toss, batting second. Fifteen out of the last sixteen teams chasing in Dubai during day-night games have won.

 

Conway missing for New Zealand a big blow. 
 

I’m going to let my heart rule my head and go for a Kiwi win. 
 

Whatever, let’s hope for an exciting game.

Yes, his bat is still recovering from said blow. Seriously, what a stupid fucking thing to do in any game, let alone a World Cup semi final!

 

Good game so far.

Starc has only conceded 50 runs from his three overs…

NZ finish on 172, Starc as Turdseye says got dry cornholed.

If he scored less than 73 I'd have won £300.

 

The absolute cunt.

Anyone watching this Rafiq questioning? Does feel like a bit of a watershed moment. Pretty damning stuff.

Seen a few ITK’s saying he’d spoke to a journo and was calling them P*** and having a go at them for not mixing in with the opposition    in the clubhouse after the games. The journo went right back to Rafiq to tell him

If you ever wondered why Trescothick had the mental

breakdown. According to today’s reveals, Michael Vaughan had been nailing his wife back home. The Aussies found out and Shane Warne let him know all about it when fielding in the slips to him while they were out there.

 

Marcus fucked off straight back home and never toured again as he was scared to turn his back on her. 
 

Make of that what you will

I’m unsure as it’s the first time I’d heard of it till tonight. Its open season on Michael Vaughan at the minute and that tales doing the rounds tonight to pad out his cuntiness. Some saying Darren Gough had confirmed it at an after dinner speech back in the day and it went from there.

And to top it all off for Vaughan he’s had that cunt Piers Morgan come out to defend him.

Would have been an interesting sky comms box if Michael Holding hadn’t retired…

 

It’s also difficult to see any way Sky could ever let Lloyd on air again the way Nasser and Atherton have covered this case.

And if they do struggle to get subs from them is it really a racist statement?

Yes,  really? So as an example I play for a football club and there are a broad mix of people in the club but within it there are 5 or 6 English lads who you continually need to chase for their subs I dont think it would be classed as racist to say " getting subs from the English is like trying to get blood from a stone". But hey lets all find something to be offended by.
