I woke up to see Australia at 190 - 6 at roughly 40 overs and the scorecard looking pretty damn anaemic.
And then came King Nate, like an arse-kicking bat-wielding messiah, who raced off to 50 with a bevy of sixes leaving even the Muss's head spinning; they called for the batting powerplay at 44 overs but the Muss didn't seem to know what the hell that meant (his memory is lagging with age). At least My Nathan was there to show him, huh?
Muss finally went for 67 at the end of the 49th and Punter moved Ry the Not Jimmeh up the order so he'd get a bat; he was looking for a career high of 8, but it was not to be. Ry played in true lower order batsman form and swung like a monkey at everything - he went for 4 and out came "clint" for the last few balls.
When it was all done, Australia had managed to put together 277. My Lord not out on 53.
I reckon it could go either way.

the look on the Stanis was priceless! Dead rubbers aye? ROFL..
I was thinking about you while watching King Nate bat and hit those massive sixes! :D
I think you should be aware that Hauritz getting to the 50 was thanks to my encouragement. Turned to the missus when he was on 28 and jokingly said 'hey, there's still 2 overs left, if he hurries, he could get his 50' and the next two balls both went for six.
Obviously, he heard me and knew I was right.
Post to be forthcoming!
I see MOTM coming up for my lord
Ahahahahahahaha
He can take 50 wickets and make 400 and he still won't get it. Bastards.
oh I wished a 50 of My Lord spin grin by Boom Boom but Boom is such a pain in ass he doesn't let you down often and misses any chance to make you swear at him
Wes, totally agreed - I reckon Nails doesn't lift his bat to celebrate a half century because he is always tempted to wave his ol' lords injury at the crowd instead ... and can you blame him?
Sid, I thought of you as well while Haury was smashing the ball all over.
You do realise you have started a cult?
He is looking ridiculously confident in the Baggy Green now. I knew he could bat but I always thought he'd be a good support to the real hitters and lo and behold...
Ah yes, the cult of My Lord Nails Muffin Hauritz - do you think it will last?
