Boys, I WON THE BET!!!!

Ha ha! cant believe that. the reaction over here is unreal. All week that team got so much stick from the press, especially Ponting for batting first. I have never seen media so critical of their own team... and now they are all heroes and no one ever doubted it! I thought our press/ crowd was critical, but this is something else.

What a game!!!

ponting still should have batted first

how much is 70 AUD in pounds, and how much did you win?

I won about $200- you dont get your stake back which I was a bit disappointed with!

I got odds of $4 (4-1) at start of day 4 when Pak were 9 down in the first innings. It was boiling hot and I thought after the first innings Aus would really dig in, especially given the press criticism, so I put all the loose money in my wallet on (around $15).

At lunch Aus were 80-0, so I went to the ATM and got more out, but could then only get something like $2.60 (2.6-1).

By the end of day 3 with Aus 80 ahead for 8, I had given up and left for the pub a bit down in the dumps. They were cruising, but collapsed in the last session.

Good couple of days at the test though. the SCG is a nice ground, a bit "concrete" if you like, and the security peed me off (you cant walk around the ground once inside, you cant leave the ground once inside, the beer is low/ medium strength, you even have to take sunnies off to order drinks, the beer is $6/ �3 per half pint- plenty of grumbles!). I guess a different culture basically but a good couple of days regardless!

Ha yeh mate i went to the game aswell, the security are rediculous i went for all 4 days at the SCG great ground, security chuck people out for mexican waves and generally stop a lot of fun, fans are a bit racist over here and get away with it saying stupid Paki which is wrong etc, but my god did umar gul and danish kaneria take some stick near the fine leg boundary one end and long on ish the other end, umar handled it well but danish was getting angry and a few people chucked out lol, people where saying when umar was signing small bats stop defacing those bats etc and calling him crap for not being able to get a tailender out so funny all round.

Shane Watson Funnily enough got a lot of abuse because he moved from queensland to NSW and when he came to the fine leg boundary people where shouting (No Swearing Please) Still a Queenslander in my Eyes, Your Daddy Molested u, Cane Toad Lover & Stupid Banana Eater so that was hilarious.

Me My Mate Both From Uk Got Abuse When the Aussies We Where with started pointing at us and saying pom and my god did the crowd abuse us but all in good spirit some of the chants "rather be a paki than a pom" You Sent us to a tropical paradise" "rStand up if u hate the poms" so it was a great day apart from being chucked out by security on end of the 3rd day for making a beer snake lol.

and yeh leeroy the beer is rediculous $6 for a scuna (half pint) and it was VB which is the worst beer out here hate it, and the food is rediculous for price aswell.

the best bit was on day 3 me and the mates was on local tv on channel 8 for wearing pink zinc pink hats and pink bandana so it was quality and on say one we got their early to watch players net and we got on the big screen and the guy spoke to us on the microphone.

nearly snatched myself a BN �160 kook ball by the net area as asif bowled in the nets to salman butt and he creamed one near the gate so i put my hand through the gate and pused a sighscreen so the ball rolled down som i put it in my pocket and the pakistani coach didnt care so i started walking off and the police stopped me and gave me a warning and made me chuck it back, but all in all defo recommenrd people to go to the SCG great stadium great atmospehere

I was at the first day and the NSW fans are dicks the boo Watson, This does not happen at Adelaide oval.

I imagine Watson is one of the least popular guys in the team despite how well he went this year, i bet the abuse he copped at the gabba was far worse then what the Cookkies gave him at the SCG.
