Nah, I can't complain - Harris did good; think it was only his second ODI (feel free to correct me) and he did all right. Still looking forward to having Jimmeh back as more than 12th man, though.
Not too much to complain about today, really, is there? Clarke and Shaunie looking superb, as were Cammie (Just because I'm a big, teutonic Vic and my elbows don't work don't call me a thug) White and The Muss. Was it just me, or did they look like they'd been told to just smack it about out there? They all looked like they were playing pretty risky to me. There was some pretty rough Stani fielding going on, so they got away with quite a bit.
And then came Ry the not-Jimmeh, who took 5, and "clint", who took 3 (although the Salman Butt wicket was totally off). Bolly, despite his usual ritual of crossing himself and kissing his crucifix (notice the commentators never make fun of that the way did Butt kissing the ground last week), was smacked about from ball 1 and got no wickets. My Lord and Twatto managed just one apiece as well. The Stanis do like to smack My Nails Muffin about a bit don't they? It's quite rude.
Anyway, the deed was done. Maybe not the most comprehensive of victories but the series is won. And maybe now is a good opportunity for Jimmeh to make his after-injury comeback, or perhaps we will see one or two more new faces.
So we're off to Perth again now where Mitchy will rejoin the gang and maybe My Lord will get a wee rest this time? If he does, he should pop up and visit my Mum in Two Rocks - she'll make him a cuppa.

Just read the article at Crapinfo - My Lord will not be rested, it'll be Dougie and Twatto. Oh well, no cuppa with my mum but more eye candy for me.
Does it mean Ry the Not Jimmeh will play again?
LOl well when I read the article it said Hildy was so impressed with with the performance of Al Bundy Man that he wants to play him again. But they might have edited that out, you can never use their articles as source :/
And since when do you call Hopesy "Jimmeh", wasn't he the conglomerate of several corpse parts *lol* and who do you mean by eyecandy?
And why do I get 404 and need to type it all again *sigh*
And do you realise that Harris looks like a Cro-Magnon version of Watson (see above pic)???
He was the comglomerate of several corpse parts sewn together and reanimated by a Swede, but if you recall I said "he may me [the above] but he is pretty handy with the bat". But I like him; he's a sweetie.
It is nice to see some new blood out there, but why another QLDer? I think Jimmeh (and My Lord and Mitchy for that matter) is quite enough QLD for one team, thank you very much.
"he may BE" not "me" - no wonder I'm down to #22 at cricket blips.
I am against the inclusion of any Neanderthalers I haven't heard of before. Besides, Steve Smith.
Also, quote Cricinfo:
a banner in the crowd wants Mark Cosgrove selected for Australia
Mah minionz dey iz ebbrywher B)
Steven gawddamnit. Once Jrod's daft spelling gets into your head you can actually shoot yourself.
Who is Jimmeh?? :S
Jim Meh.
I Hopes-o.
Gah call me Pun-ter. B)
Looks like the Chargers are getting charged up!! BTW.. hows Roy?
@Mock Wah - Roy is probably drunk about now, or off fishing somewhere. Or both.
I wouldn't want Gilly's job of keeping him in line with all that Cobra and curry about.
@Purna - who is Jimmeh??? I don't like too many QLDers on my team, but if I must have them then the better the devil you know. I'm used to Jimmy Hopes. I want him back.
Ry the not Jimmeh will be off to India soon anyway, I guess.
Whoa, look at the FOREARMS on that Harris O_O
"Bolly, despite his usual ritual of crossing himself and kissing his crucifix" <-- Well, I'll be damned, never noticed that.
And score two for Perth, haha, we finally get some cricketing love! Although I can't hope but wonder if the Pakistanis made sure there were two Perth ODIs cause Australia hasn't been so crash hot here lately
Australia haven't ever been that crash hot at the WACA, have they? I'm dead jealous that you're there and I'm not, Nathan - will you be going? Or will you be having a cuppa in Two Rocks with my mum?
On the religion thing, aren't a few of the Aussie players good little catholic boys? I know Hauritz went to catholic school in Brisbane and when we were at high school in Midland, Katich was one of the local posh kids who went to a private church school. Can't remember which one though ...
No no, I'll be there on the 29th, sitting pretty in, of all places, the Prindiville stand.
I smell a new team name; before we had the Invincibles, now we have Ponting's Crusader Infidels.
I love it - crusader infidels! Brilliant.
I'll let Mum know not to bother buying tim tams :-)
