I used to hate sitting in glass.

Fark - can't edit it now...

Gayle's a legend who makes my knees shake.

Trishan got a gradual dot on his underpants this afternoon im guessing...

What an innings last night by Gayle, the guy is a champion...
Thats now my fav Test Match innings that I've watched, previous was gillys 100 at Perth.

Can't wait for ODI's & T20's too come around this summer.

West Indies and Pakistan (Afridi) should be good entertaining going on... (and yes I know their no Tri-Series)

[bennymacca]

i think its better without a tri series.

firstly, noone cares about the pakistan-WI games.
and secondly, australia have never not made the final (well at least in recent memory) - kinda makes a mockery of the concept.

but yes, gayle and afridi should be great fun to watch

Pretty sure they didn't make a final of recent memory actually, within the last few years.

And FWIW I liked the non-Australia games as much as I liked the Australia games.

But still, I'd rather watch more Test Cricket.

96/97 was the first any only time that australia hasn't made the final, and that dates all the way back to 1979.

2000–01?

Memory is fading but I was sure NZ were involved.

1 South Africa
2 New Zealand
3 Australia

Unless there was one of those weird finals with three teams!

Not as recent as I remember, but still - this decade

i stand corrected dave, you are right, but it was 2001-2

in my quick scan of the results, the new zealand flag looked like the aussie one
