Australia’s nightmare is here.
Their main weapon for the Ashes, Mitchell Johnson, is hurt.
While at a routine training session he was fielding a ball and has twisted his knee.
I heard there was a pop, but I also heard the Airfrance Flight 447 flew into another dimension, it is too early to know all the details.
Apparently he [...]

Ashes 09: Mitchell is Injured

Wallabies vs Italy first test preview
June 11, 2009 – 11:56 pm
Guess what – Craig Gower’s back in town to play against the Wallabies! And oh yeah – there are some other Italian blokes with him as well…
While that’s been Aussie media spin on the Italian selection (how are we going to get bums on seats when there aren’t any ex-mungos in the oppo?) it definitely [...]
Lote’s long road back
June 11, 2009 – 9:13 am
You get the feeling talking to Lote Tuqiri that he has had enough of being dropped.
Ashes 09: The Brett Lee Debate
June 11, 2009 – 8:28 am
Before Australia played Sri Lanka in late 07 I thought Lee might be lucky to hold onto a place in the Australian side. His form was ok, as it had always been, but I figured there were other bowlers who were younger who could come in and average around 32.
Then in his next 9 tests [...]
Reasons why Australia are out of the World T20 thingy
June 9, 2009 – 9:49 am
To lull England into an Un-English positivity.
Roy threw up in Michael Hussey’s box before he left.
Lara Bingle told them test cricket is the most important form of the game.
Cameron White sapped their confidence by bowling them all out in the nets.
They are afraid of UFOS.
Dirty Dirk told them he would punch them all in the [...]
Sonny Bill Williams vs the Wallabies
June 9, 2009 – 1:27 am
Following all the media hype, I was shocked to see that there was anyone else other than Sonny Boy Williams playing for the Baabaas on Saturday. Anyway, I managed to edit most of those other guys out and here’s the result:
How’d he do? Along with the rest of the BaaBaas, he did get owned [...]
Your reaction to Roy’s exit
June 5, 2009 – 11:27 am
Andrew Symond’s career is over. Are you angry, sad, happy, drunk or meh?
There are those who will say he had his chances, he just kept slipping up, and he was never going to change. Others may point out that he never really did anything that wrong, even if he did cock up a lot they [...]
Ask Bakkies – The Moral Outrage!
June 5, 2009 – 2:08 am
Dear Bakkies,
What a month I’ve had!
I’m the CEO of the national organisation for a certain football code on the east coast of Australia, and the media have created a number of mountains out of molehills recently. You’d think none of these journos had never had group sex in front of their furiously masturbating mates while [...]
Jack Watts’ debut: Melbourne’s Messiah complex re-emerges
June 4, 2009 – 10:37 am
Crikey Sports is honoured to have a guess post by Crikey’s own Greg Barns.
Melbourne Demons supporter Greg Barns writes:
Melbourne supporters got a text message yesterday from their effervescent club president Jim Stynes. The moment has come for Jack Watts, Melbourne’s much hyped young star and draft pick, to make his senior debut. Appropriately [...]
Who will win the World T20 thingy
June 4, 2009 – 10:15 am
India
Should win. But look a bit tired, and their swing bowlers have been bowling pretty straight. They perhaps miss a proper quick quick bowler, but have everything else you can need for a 2020 match. This is where the smart money is. Come in with 6 weeks of IPL in their back pocket, the [...]
