had to laugh at the Gooch's and Fridge arguement. More than likely they were sitting in the same room.

But the original point made by Jake was pretty close to the mark...we would love him in the Aussie team right now....But we don't. Warnie has retired and we cannot seriously think we are going to get someone nearly good as him. He was a one in a million.. 20-30 yrs between him and Benuad. Those two are pretty close to the only world beaters (spinners) that we've had in our team and we may have to wait another generation till our next spinner appears. But for now it may be Hauritz or it may be Kretzja or it may be bloke that hasn't even made the state team yet. We just need to be patient and give them time.

PS
great knocks by Clark and Johnno yesterday.

Surely you could  afford more than $3.20 Goochy....:)

Is Bowden taking the pi55 here?!?! Absolutely fking disgraceful umpiring.

Give me the exact hand and how it played.

All right i will try to remember, my stack was $600 and the asian guy had $650.

I had K Q both diamonds on memory, he was big blind i was the button.
I raised Pre flop to $10 and he re-raised to $30 and i called.
Flop was something like 10 , 7, 2 with 2 diamonds.
At this stage i felt i would draw a flush and he bet $75 and i called, turn came a jack but no diamond. He checked so i didn't hesitate and bet $100 he waited and called, i tried to push but he called keeping in mind he has been loose and chased alot he called so i hoped for a Diamond.
It didn't come it was another 10 he checked again with a board 10,7,2,J & 10.
I thought lets push him but represent the 10 for a set, so i pushed all in for $300 prepared to loose the stack.
He waited 3-5 mins and called with pocket Q's, i thought i played it well but he was just a peanut.
Yes it didn't work but i would have done it again.

Yeah you played it ok mate.

You broke the golden rule though. Never bluff fish. Especially when they have overpairs!!!

I reckon my $3.20 bet on Australia is starting to look useful!

 I dont think so Mr Goochy, 90% chances of DRAW..... listen and learn from Mr Cricket 2008

Forget Mr C 2008. I'd go and stand in the queue Goochy.... it's game over

...can't see RSA doing a repeat 4th innings chase on this day 5 pitch.

Thanks mate, it was probably my only bluff for the night.
And that tells me not to do it, i hoped he put me on KK's or A's or the set of 10's

Those 3 hands are the last 3 hands I would have put you on.

Why wouldn't you have raised the first 2 preflop, or 10 10 10 on the flop?

Bloody oath persuader, good to see something in it for the bowlers for once.....should i say plenty in it. Haydos might get his career back on track tomorrow. If he makes a ton tomorrow it could do a tubby taylor for him and give him another year or two.

Who cares what you think, lard ass.
