Can we beat the Yarpies

Can we beat the Yarpies?


I think everybody is asking the same question: can we beat the Yarpies??

Yes we might have been, some may say, ‘smashed’ by them last time.

But there is hope in young and new talent, in the form of North, Ferguson and many more.

This isn’t the first time Australia has gone through a hard time but last time we got through it
and ended up winning 16 tests in a row, a world record.

Legendary Allan Border pulled us out of that hard situation, although I am one of Ricky Ponting’s
biggest fans I have some doubts in my mind he can do what AB did.

That brings me to think about Michael Clarke, could he be the new AB could he bring us out of this hard situation?

Some may say yes, and I do.

Since he debuted people have said he would be the captain, at the age of just 27 he is already vice-captain.

I am a big fan of his, I don’t know why but I just love the way he plays.

So back on point, I do think we can beat the Yarpies.

They are going into this competition think they are the sure winners while Australia have the
drive and will to win.

We want this more than anything and we have blossoming young players.

Well while I am writing this there is about 1 and a half hours before play starts and I am praying I have chosen my fantasy league well 

Here are a couple pictures and links from the latest news and affairs of cricket:

Haddin-Broom Controversy

On the first ODI between AUS and NZ, the important wicket of Broom was thought to be bowled by Clarke but as the slow-motion pictures came out it showed that maybe he wasnt bowled and the gloves of Australian wicket-keeper Brad Haddin had knocked the bails of the stumps themselves, Haddin was said to be a cheater by Kiwi captain Daniel Vettori because he didnt speak up as broom left the field but Australian captain Ricky Ponting believes that the controversial wicket was not a factor of cheating.

I believe that Haddin did not intentionally knock the bails off, maybe he didnt even hit them. A clicking sound came up on the snicko,a sound that the ball hitting the gloves would not have made. Even if Haddin did knock of the bails, I dont think he knew and I dont think he did it on purpose.

As I watch the 3rd game I wonder whether Australia has any faith in their team as we go through a rebuilding stage. As I watched the cricket and listened to my dad saying that the team was crap I thought to myself :Is this country so used to winning for so long, that when we go through a little bit of a drought do we lose all faith in the team, do we stop supporting them? I myself would never give up on the team, as I look up to them, they are my role-models. This is like the Eagles situation, in the short life of the Eagles they have dominated, last year they didnt have the best season and they last almost all their fans.

Au stralia need to learn how to be faithfull to their team no matter what.

Well im going to go watch the rest of the cricket,the score at the moment is 3-98 in the 2nd over. Australias final score was 301, which I think is a very good score. GO AUSSIE!!
