    They said something about the Ashes was due to be next in Aust in 2015. But Australia is hosting the CWC so it clashed...

    I wish we could play ashes all the time, but there is something about the wait that builds up the love of it more...

    It's like sex.... If you have it day after day... its good.... But if you have a bit of a drought... when you go again, it is even better... you know what I mean...

    Bloody India annoy me....

    Complaining about Darryl Harper and he stood down from what would have been his last test match as an umpire... They always whinge and moan about everything...

    They say Harper's correct decision rate is 96% which is higher than the average international umpire, yet dhoni still complains...

    Suck shit Dhoni
    BRIDGETOWN, June 30 (Reuters) - India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was incorrectly given out during the second test against West Indies because the television broadcaster showed the wrong replay to the review umpire, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Thursday.

    The ICC said the mix-up was made by the host broadcaster, IMG Media, but it was too late to change the decision.

    "Having looked into the situation, I am satisfied it was an unfortunate but honest mistake in what is a tense and live environment," ICC match referee Chris Broad said in a statement.

    "Seeing as the game has continued, clearly there is no opportunity to reverse the decision. We are forced now put it behind us and move on with the remainder of the match."

    The incident occurred on the first day when Dhoni was caught by Shivnarine Chanderpaul at mid-on off the bowling of Fidel Edwards.

    The on-field umpire Ian Gould suspected the delivery may have been a no-ball so he sought confirmation from the third umpire, Gregory Brathwaite.

    Dhoni was given out after the replay Braithwaite watched showed the bowler delivering a legal ball. However, it later emerged that Braithwaite was shown the wrong delivery and the actual delivery had in fact been a no-ball.

    "This was a case of human error, compounded by a senior replay operative having to return home at very short notice," an IMG spokesman said.

    We lost 5 wickets for 1 run last night. Malinga ripped through us, took a hat-trick....

    And I saw Sachin got out for 91. An Aussie umpire gave him out Rod Tucker. Used to play for Tasmania... Looked a little high to me...

    Bring back Simon Katich!


    How interesting were his comments the other week... I don't think he has faced his bullshit disciplinary hearing yet...

    For those who don't know, someone asked him, if he will ever play test cricket again...

    and he said something along the lines of it's pretty obvious he wouldn't with the current captain...

    He and Clark had an altercation after an awesome test win against India at the SCG in 2009. Clarke wanted to leave early to fuck his mrs and Katich had words with him and ended up grabbing him by the throat...
