Mini-Rick the Prick
What a fúcking disgrace the third session was yesterday. I can’t believe Rick would be so fúcking stupid to compromise the full trophy cupboard he inherited from Steve for the sake of some shítty over rate.
Oh how I hate this inbred Tasmanian wánker. Let me count the ways.
- Would you sacrifice playing New Zealand in Brisbane for a better chance of winning in India? Hell Yeah!
- We managed to get 10 overs behind on the over rate, despite bowling Jason Krejza for 20ish overs
- Is it absolutely neccesarry to change the field three times an over?
- Why doens’t the moved fielder run to their new position during the tri-overly field changes?
- If the over rate is so damn important, why don’t we tell Lee and Johnson to shorten their run-ups like they do in ODI’s, as surely Lee off a half run-up when the ball’s reversing is still more threatening than Hussey?
- Why the bloody hell did we drop Stuart Clark for Cameron fúcking White, who despite my best wishes has proven to be a very ordinary number 8 batsman and less effective than Michael Clarke.
- Why not bowl Simon Katich? Ponting’s ignored him all series.
- Tim Nielsen is a díckless wannabe. They interviewed him last night and one of the reasons that the quicks didn’t bowl after tea was they were tired! Give me a fúcking break, there are three of them, they’d just had a 20 minute rest, and they could have bowled in tandem with Krejza.
- If we must play Cameron White, make him captain.. all he has to do is go out and lose the toss (as Rick for some help there), then Rick can still move his fields thrice an over, and Whitey gets the arse.
Time for Regieme Change. Nielsen to be given the arse for being díckless, Ponting demoted and on notice that the team is bigger than the man, and number 3 batsmen need to score runs.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d like for nothing more than us to pull this victory off, but it should have been so much simplier, and all the Indians have to do now is bowl a metre outside offstump to an 8-1 field like they did in the first innings. Then Rick will bítch about their defensive tactics while the Indians parade their Border-Gavaskar trophy in front of the 250 fans who bothered to show up in Nagpur.
I want Ponting dropped from captain and Nielsen and Chappel thrown out of the coaching staff. Time to give the reins to Tom Moody or Allan Border… and… Simon Katich
Wasnt it just the most annoying and ridiculous thing you have ever seen. I was so píssed off. Ricky may have robbed Aus of a test win although their batsmen are making a fist of it atm.
Add to that the fúcker just got out.

We at the flyslip have an entirely different take on this.
We believe it may have something to do with Sarah Palin

Dude… Johnson pretty much did the same right through the entire series bowling to a 7-2 field bowling wide across the stump and at times even full!
And this from the fastest bowler in world cricket today!

Is it possible he thought he could both win it regardless of any surplus runs and also beat the ban?
His mates must have made encouraging noises to the same.
Could just be a case of a plan which didn’t quite work out as anticipated.
Sorry Moses, but some good came out of it. Jason Krejza is a biggie.

With the wicket behaving the way it was for Kreza on the 4th day, did Ponting buy an excuse in over rate?
(to loose for an improbable target rather than losing chasing what people would percieve as achievable)

I also want Nielsen’s contract torn up. He is just a yes man for Cricket Australia. Either bring back the Professor, get Moody or just give the job to AB for life.

AB would have to give up XXXX for VB to keep the sponsors happy

Nine months on and Ponting is the first Australian Captain to loose the ashes twice, and still Cricket Australia back him!
