Straya!

Tarcoola (Australia) 49.1°C

Forty-nine-point-one degrees Celsius is 120.38 F. This seems to me an unnecessarily high temperature, as temperatures go

Flying foxes are falling dead from their roosts in trees...

I don't know how anyone lives in temperatures like that.

[Cunt]

I don't know how anyone lives in temperatures like that.

I'm not just a LITTLE opposed to it, I mean, it is almost directly opposite to the civilized temperatures I'll run in this evening.

-32C with wind chill dragging it to -46C

[pErvinalia]

i don't know how people can go outside in temps like that. Wouldn't your exposed skin start freezing almost instantly? Doesn't that hurt?

[Cunt]

It's complicated.

No.


And yes.


I can run around in summer shoes, and winter socks, for hours at these temperatures. If I stopped, I would be dead in a half hour. (I guess)

When I start, sometimes it's so fucking cold I even have goggles on (covering almost ALL skin). Invariably, once I'm warmed up, they fog up and need to come off.

I arrive with ice clumped into my beard, moustache, eyelashes and eyebrows. It takes awhile to melt it off my face standing at the sink.

But I'm not cold. (mostly)

[pErvinalia]

Crazy. I'd move to somewhere warmer.

[Cunt]

Crazy. I'd move to somewhere warmer.

I've lived in many places. This is the best so far.

Cold winter is best winter.

Yep Moscow is called at this time of year.

You are SO much like Trump. Good to see you are taking his leadership to heart (or you are actually Trump yourself)

Come on guys. This is bad:

India beat Australia to win series: third one-day international – as it happened

The same scoreline as the Tests, in the end, as India make this an unbeaten tour across all three formats. This final match more than the previous two exposed the limitations of this Australian team, and while the bowlers battled hard, India’s batsmen always looked in control. The match only went as long as it did because that’s how MS Dhoni likes to play, but it could have been over much earlier if he’d had half a mind

At least it was not a white wash.

Meh. We've done worse. Much, much, much worse. Managing to lose a test after enforcing the follow on takes an extraordinary lack of ability. To add insult to injury, Australia's best was basically beaten by one man.

Seen that a couple of times. A change in conditions when a lively wicket turns docile and dead.

Not nice. That's cricket. Never see much of it these days. Dont and would not have Sky. Too many ads. Cricket on the Beeb was they way it should be. We get the odd international on a ground very near me (10mins walk). Saw the Dutch beat a fairly decent international English XI. A good game.

Australia needed 130 runs to win on a docile and dead wicket and was bundled out for 111 in 36.1 overs?

[Scot Dutchy]

That does suck. Too much beer at lunch time?
