A stream of gibber

It's past midnight. Roos are about to start against South Korea.

Here's something I prepared earlier (WARNING: The following contains rambling. It is recommended only for mature audiences.)

Finch 53 off 33? Well played sir, well played. He did well against the tweakers - very inventive.
Australia got 147 - I called it.
I strongly dislike those mitsubishi ads - especially the one with the smug little ranga. Smarmy little bastard can't even talk properly. Ennunciate. Kids sounding like that on television isn't cute.
I'm writing this post on my phone, but I'll refrain from using that txt spk.
So, the channel 9 crew are gonna look like the Bee Gees on sunday? Gimmick. I'll watch the intro to see who wears what, but it will be silly.
KFC carpet is back. Now a stupid huddle. I never get those. You have plenty of time in the dressing room to say what needs to be said. Same goes for them other sports that do it. You know who you are.
Hmm Tait opening ... He bowled trash the other night. I don't see how he, Brett Lee and Johnson will work in India. Express pace gets pumbled there. And at the MCG - Bell just crunched one for four. If the spinners aren't on by the seventh over, I riot. Jeez, another four. The Sherminator can play a bit. Next ball, a fugly charge and swing that he missed. Stay in your crease champ. Like you did for that clip off your toes. 11 off.
Opening at the other end ... Brett Lee. I reckon him and Tait are a bit same-same. Not gay or anything, they just bowl similar speed and angles. If a bloke can play express, he might get a heap.
Let's see what Davies does now he has some strike ... Can play a bit, too. Fancies himself as a mini-Gilly. We'll see. Dot. A thousand fielders square on the off side. Still got one from a back defence. Nice to see Cam White have a plan. Bell's turn ... Dot. Binga is bowling ok here. No width. Seth Efricen Pom Tony Grief wants Tait out of the attack. I concur. Binga, meantime, looks the goods tonight because he's getting up around their chests with no width.
Bear ignored Greigy - Tait still on. Single. Bell on strike. Did I mention this bloke can play a bit? Well, he just tried to spoon one to mid on. from his chest. With a straight bat. Crazy. Then a swing and a miss. Fugly. Perfectly worked two. Tait filthy. I predict bouncer. Picked it. Toed for two. No ball. Time for a freebie. I predict bouncer. Yorker. Single. Didn't pick it.
The Good Guys ad creeps me out.
Binga. Single to Bell. Smith forgot where he was fielding while talking to commentators on the earpiece. Funny as.
Davies is out there? Thought Bell was playing last man carries. Single. Bell just mistimed one for three through point.
This Mini-Gilly can't hit it off the square. Just hooked one off the splice.
Ball-by-ball is tough, I'm switching to random observations.
Damn, The Good Guys ad again. That little ranga chick looks like she is on the gear. Acts like it, too.
Oh ... www.qld.gov.au/floods - go there. Give cash.
Bell just played a running forehand that wouldn't have looked out of place at Melbourne Park for the tennis. My pick? Soderling. He's mad and could beat Nadal and Federer. Smoky? Tsonga or Del Potro. They get it right answer you're going to lose.
Hahaha - Johnson nearly missed the cut strip with his first ball.Sometimes he looks like he belongs in fifth grade cricket. Just sayin'.
England 0/41, looking the goods. A lack of spin on a marshmellow doesn't help.
Neither does bowling short shit, Mitchell.
Spin. Or more to the point, Hussey. He darts 'em in. His bowling probably keeps him in the team.
Smith is miced up and made a great stop on the fence. He's having no luck tonight. Forgot where he was fielding. Again. Possible space cadet.
Good fielder, but.
Johnson bowls Bell. Phew. KP - the Tony Grieg of the 21st Century - is in. Copped heaps from the crowd. He has raised almost 30 grand for flood relief off his own bat. Show some respect, drunken Victorian muppets.
Micro-Gilly (he has been downgraded) works a 1. Gilly Classic would have hit the same ball halfway to Flinders St Station.
Mad catch by Bear. See ya, KP. Two wickets in one over for Johnson.
England 2/62.
Brett Lee is on the plane to India, health permitting. Just looks sharp, on his game.
O'Keefe on bowling left arm orthodox. Very nice. 2/72.
Shit ... Hawks telecast starts on One HD in one minute. Can't do both at once. Lazy. Staying here.
Collingwood has brought his Ashes form with him. He bats like me, but right handed. Good fielder, but. Unlike me.
3/74 - Collingwood spoons to mid-off. He can't play anymore. I read he got hit in the nuts three times in the nets before the PM's XI game. Struggling, to say the least. Could miss the World Cup.
Morgan is in - can bat.
Yes! Assistant coach Matt Flinn is in the lay-up line over in Perth for the Hawks! Looking the goods!
3/82 in Melbourne. Doin' my best here.
Tait is dogging it in the field. Slide, chief. Flinny is a handy cricketer too - pick him, Hilditch!
3/88.
I'm changing to equations now - better for T20, methinks.
Micro-Gilly out. Weird shot. Good grab by Warner. 4/88. Equations are coming, I swear.
Hawks down 7-4 early. No Flinn ... yet.
England need 57 from 36 balls. There.
Hawks down 16-6 with four mins left in first quarter. No Flinn. Could be trouble.
England need 51 from 30. Definite trouble.
Have you seen the Telstra ad where the guy is in the cinema ... Terrible. That phone looks like a piece of trash too.
Australia have been better in the field. This one means a bit more to them than England. Chasing on a soft pitch makes it hard too.
England need 45 from 24 balls. Cactus.
19-16! Yes hawks, yes! Ty Demos wants to kill Brad Robbins. Do it. He's slime. Refs tee'd him up. Good. Gruber missed both. Yuk. Gotta hit 'em when your assistant coach has been PULLED OUT OF A 16-YEAR RETIREMENT BECAUSE YOU ARE SO SHORT OF PLAYERS! Now Matt Campbell misses two free throws. 23-18 at quarter time. Pretty awesome effort from the blokes in white.
Back to the cricket ... England need 35 from 17. Make that 16 - morgan just hit one down Finch's throat. Game over?
Back in Perth - scoreless first minute of the quarter. 25-18. No Flinn, yet.
In melbourne, England need 30 from 12. Surely we have them beat ... Tait just bowled an over of 142km/h inswinging yorkers. Didn't get a wicket. Unlucky.
Oh dear ... Five wides down the legside. England need 18 from the last over.
Bowler: Brett Lee.
On strike: tim bresnan.
Ball one: two. 16 off 5.
White fiddles with the field.
Ball two: two to square leg. 14 from 4.
Ball three: single. 13 from 3. Tough from here.
Ball four: Shit. Six over midwicket. Seven off two. Chris woakes, the kid who brought em home in game one, did it.
Ball five: single. Six needed from last bowl.
Bresnan on strike.
Hahahahaha. Mistimed pull. Australia win by four runs.
Pick Binga for the World Cup. That is all.
And I'm spent.
