I'm sure this will be trumped and fair enough, but couldn't find the game thread, and I wanted a to chat about our Pads before having to go off and buy some chooks (Aussie for chickens).

As I write Richards has already struck the cold knife of fear through the hearts of these retrogades and the away town commentators are saying that our batting linwup sucks. I wouldn't want to argue with that, but shouldn't they still be cringing with embarrassment about the three guys who hit HRs yesterday?
