Stanford Series...anybody watching this..?

[seasprout]

Currently England are 72-8, why dont they just give the Standford superstars the $20million dollars now, and we can go to bed early.

Poo.

Yep, I'd have chosen to bowl first, but what the h... Can't say we've picked the best English 20/20 team, have we?

[seasprout]

Peiterson and his mates team.

OH is ranting relentlessly at the TV now. His is insistant that the hawkeye setup is fixed in favour of Standfords lot.

I'm going to sneek off to bed in a mo. See if he notices.

[smallblueplanet]

The trouble is they believe there own publicity machine and this is very dangerous hope there wive's have not spent the money allready jacob marley

[seasprout]

Well tis over and done.

I personally think the money went to the right people, and i dont necessarily mean the best team.

Before the match, day before i think?, they interviewed a guy from the Standford team, i forgot his name, but he was a bout 22/23, they asked him what he would do with the money if he won.....straight away he said he would finish building his mums house........ and after that he would build himself a house as well.

What a nice lad.

Another case of a Yank with Toooooooooooooo much money??

I thought it was great. I loved it for the first two overs, started getting exasperated as key wickets fell, then thought how funny/farcial it was becoming by the time about 5 were out, enjoyed the near last wicket stand by England and then willed on the big hits by the Windies. Its a great format of an inherently boring game. I still like tests but this is great for entertainment over and done in 3 hours or so.

The pressure of the money clearly got to the team but then again the Windies just kept it simple. Straight balls everytime to catch out any wayward batting. Its a shame the chap dropped the catch near the end otherwise it would have been as flawless as you could hope for. I agree the money went to the right people and the "down to earth with a bump" for the England team is no bad thing.

The part I don't get is why don't they agree to split the money $750k to every member of the team (playing or not). Thats a much better team principle rather than the haves and have nots...?!
