This is frustrating

 

[Shueygod]

Nah i would rather make money on Sportsbet for it. Childish games are not my thing.

Show the bet then.

 

[Swanny69]

Great batting from Reddy .. Boland didn’t handle the Bazball stuff too well either

 

[Chism]

Maybe if you win, Jim funds your next bet?

He cant afford it and what guarantee is there that it is even honored?

He can stick his offering of teenage type avatar bets!

 

[Gak Attack]

Boland struggles against bats going after him. England got at him in England

Yeah was just thinking he's not the guy to be bowling now.

 

[Neese]

Come on. Need him gone

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Get Lyon on or something

There’s plenty of excuses because there’s plenty of elements in the modern game that weren’t a problem ‘back in the day’

- DRS is the single biggest time waster in cricket. Each side now gets 3 unsuccessful reviews, which usually chew up 2-3 minutes at an absolute minimum. You also get the batting side reviewing plumb LBWs late in the innings ‘because we’ve got reviews left so might as well use them’.

- It is now mandatory for any batter that is struck on the head to have an on field check with the Physio, and have their helmet replaced.

- Every single delivery is now checked for front foot no balls, meaning more are being called and redelivered.

- Boundaries and catches close to the ground are now reviewable by the TV umpire, which is usually 2-3 minutes minimum as well.

- Bowling sides now can request umpires to inspect and change the ball, which again is time consuming.

- Batters absolutely take the piss with drinks between overs and glove changes, which the bowling side gets punished for.

All this talk about ‘back in the day we used to bowl 90 overs easily’. Yeah, because we didn’t have anything that I just mentioned to worry about.

If every international side is consistently getting pinged for slow over rates, then maybe it’s time to accept that the modern game is slower than ever and 90 overs in a day is a pipe dream.

nah.

no one leaves until youve bowled 90 and give the umpires the authority to crack down on time wasting

 

[The Casey Cat]

Love you Bowland but you're WAY to easy to play. Can't be this totally non threatening.

 

[dumb]

Reddy watched England take apart Boland

 

[Nuggetz]

Get Lyon on or something

His calf could be fkd after the catch attempt

 

[Plugger35]

Reddy should be batting further up the order, he is a genuine all rounder, Kapil Dev like.

 

[Chism]

Let us know how much you win, wouldn’t want to die wondering

Only need Aussies to not score more than India really in the 1st innings. More these junks runs come the better.

 

[western royboy]

Aussies need to slow things down now. Change of gloves for Carey, change of shoes for the bowler. Arrest momentum

We’re 12 or 13 overs down already

 

[hoopla]

Get Lyon on or something

6 x 6s would be on the cards then

 

[Kuuz]

Yeesh - 21 from that over. Boland went to water on that over.

 

[hawkman]

Captains are so dumb in this situation

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Bloody no balls!!!!

 

[Kuuz]

Another no ball. Jesus. 7 for today.

 

[t_94]

Boland is a good bowler but has no answer when someone hits him off his stock length.

 

[JimmyBC]

Doing well here Nitish anything near 200 will have us struggling to get in the first innings I suspect.

 

[Mister B]

Never known an Australian squad to drop their bundle when things aren't going right as quickly as this lot. Absolutely pathetic at how quickly they wet the bed and bowl like they've lost all brain function.

 

[Chism]

Show the bet then.

Why?

Who the hell are you that i have to justify anything to? Guy wanted an Avatar bet and i refused. Real money means more if bets win than 14yo Avatar bets on a football forum.

 

[hawkman]

Why do we still have 4 back for the 5th ball of the over?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

There's always someone in the Indian tail who gets into us.
