Weird that this video should come up, my mate and I watched this an hour or so ago. Anyway the reason Langer retired was because that was the rule of that Mickey Mouse Super 8s comp they were playing. Same way he was getting 8 for balls hit over the fence

I didn't realise it was Super 8s, it looked like the Mercantile Mutual/ING Cup, also that explains how the first over went for so many runs.

He's played two ODIs previously at this ground for scores of 78 and 110 so probably

Why is there no mining tax in Australia? You cannot take out and not put back in!

He is better than Cameron White as well:

Bailey has turned into a walking wicket. He was exceptional in 2013, and I'm hoping he can recapture that, though he may not have much more chances.

Yeah I didn't like her when she was just on The Cricket Show and I sure as hell don't like her more after all these inane cutaway interviews saturating the coverage. Goes to show any one of us could have made a career out of hanging around at the cricket if only we were an attractive women who bones cricketers.

Apparently Brad McNamara comments on Gideon Haigh's blog when he thinks Gideon's bashing Channel 9:

This goes a long way to explaining why 9's coverage is the way it is and refuses to consider improving

Part of me wishes Kerry Packer was still alive, he would have fired James Brayshaw into the sun by now.
