+1 to the list of stupid people. There is no need for that comment, other than to grow your e-penis through more posts if thats your thing...

But anyway, I'm just hoping for some good all round cricket. I'm glad to see Vettori in the team :)

Can't wait for the test match and Warne vs The World

Bleh I was at work

still the result is great

Am I the only one that feels the super sub goes against alot of what cricket is about. I mean having a sub that you can bring on to bat or bowl....To me it just seems as a way to remove your weakest link player durring key momeents in the game, like getting rid of glen mcgragh from the batting lineup by using someone else and then making a "super sub" to take a batsmen off the field and replace em with a bowler (ie glen) or something later on.

I didnt see the match so didnt see how the super subs were used, but what I heard of it that seems to be how its intended to be used or something. meh

I duno, it seems like a bad idea to me.

I can't understand how Watson got Man of the Match, granted I didn't actually see the game. But Mcgrath looked like he did better, 7 Overs 2 for 13. At the start of the innings that basically rockets the required run rate. Hell, even Vettori had better figures than Watson :/

yeah I noticed that too. No single player won or lost the game for either team, Australia only had one batsmen to score above 50 and the world team actually had the top scorer. The AU lineup was more consistant.

And yeah I'm glad that thats how it went, I still feel like we lost the ashes based on the inconstant batting performances and we relied to much on 1 or 2 ppl an innings to build a total. One day vs test is very different, but hopefully its a sign of things to come.

I agree with Jerry, I hope the World XI put the Aussies in their place.

Yes... It doesn't hurt to dream I suppose. Heck, even the poms were due to score one off us eventually. 1 out of 18 ain't bad eh? :laugh:

Australia dismisses the World XI. 9/273 off 45.3 overs. Well played guys!

DUNNO. MAYBE I IS TEH WIN. MAYBE AUS. WILL T3H win.

no seriously, what's up with this aussie obsession about cricket? i'll zap onto eurosports and see if there's anything interesting on.

Why shouldn't they be? The Aussies are the best team in the game today. I'm not sure if it's the national sport of Australia.

Dream? Maybe its time for some people to come back to reality. :p Dropping players, taking drastic steps etc. sounds like the approach of a team going down.

England, Pakistan, New Zealand, Srilanka are all on the up. :)

Its pathetic that the World XI couldnt pull it off. Guess I'm one step closer to winning my bet. :happy:

We loose ONE series and you all think we are on the down. Seriously England didnt smash us in the Ashes as much as you would have yourselves believe. You won and congrats but 3 of the games came down to the wire, another we won, it was hardly what I would call a dominating performance.

Seriously, come back when your team has won more games. As said we won the last 18 ashes and while that might mean nil to you since you have the last one, the fact of the matter is that we have been winning more games than other teams in the world in recent times (say the past 12 months).

I think a team can loose 3 games and not be considered "on the down". As for dropping players, thats natural and when you have the strength on the sideline that we do then we can afford to kick a player or two. The teams hardly changed in the past 12 months. Infact the ability to interchange players is a strength in a team...its certainly not a weakness.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
