fist bumping instead of shaking hands... thanks 2020

You don't reckon it's got to do with the current global pandemic?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Its finished.
Just in time for sunrise.

That was the point.

 

[Visions]

India took 4.5 hours to bowl their 50 overs

Geez! Even the West Indies of the 80’s only missed an over or 2 in the allotted 3.5 hours.

 

[The Passenger]

It was supposed to end at 1030 I think

Jesus christ these over rates are hurting the game.

since both teams are in a bubble to avoid it, yeah... but fist bumping is almost as bad as shaking somebody's hand in terms of germ interaction and it is rather pointless to avoid hand-shaking as they're all in a bubble anyway.

Think it was just over 80 minutes when they bowled the 15th over!!!

 

[t_94]

Only decent thing that Warne has said today while talking about anything other than the game in front of him - that game felt like it was 3 days long.

Best bowler in the history of cricket. Does and says what he wants.

Guess it sort of is to make the public do the right thing. Small thing but probably is factored in.

I’ve noticed at our games there is more hand shaking than fist bumping. Like mask wearing, it’s all disappearing as people are over it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Almost time for the coin toss

It’s slightly annoying but overstated imo. There are bigger issues like how 300 has become a par score or often under par score in one day internationals.

I'd call it a welcome return to normality

Stoinis and Naxwell have not completed overs.Is one of them injured.

Stoinis apparently has a groin strain

Seperate.
As a player....a pinnacle of cricket.
As a bloke or commentator...
a plank.
Be hard pressed to find anyone in the world as full of himself as he is.
He seems to delight in potting blokes as sport. Makiing a constant divide between how good he was and how all players are now shit.
I loved him as a player. Now he makes me sick.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

At least Maxwell might not bat below Stoinis next game

Chappeli takes the cake

I'm only one punter, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's interest has waned completely in 50-over cricket since the scoring ballooned out over the last decade or so.

Who cares. ‘Nice’ blokes can often be dull as dishwater he has 700 test wickets and has banged supermodels.

Why would he be humble? He has lived the dream of millions.

I find him entertaining. Would be much better value than Steve Waugh who people think was humble because he was quiet but was actually a sly, selfish bloke.

I can't imagine teenagers (or younger) growing up watching cricket now who have no memory of Warne the bowler attaching themselves to him the same way me and my generation did to Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry, Tony Greig, Max Walker and co even though it wasn't till sometime down the track you discovered these guys were also once great and famous cricketers themselves.

k.
But does he seem a tad full of himself to you?
He does rarely offer interesting insights into the game of cricket.
But thats 5% of his commentary.
95% is regaling his own legend.

You just hate Warnie because he is a St Kilda supporter, I know it's hard to get over the fact you are St Kilda's finals bitches but you have to face facts.

Loved him as a cricket player. Not so much football player

 

[The Passenger]

When Warne sticks to tactics (both team and individual) and summing up a match situation, he is great. The second he veers off that you might as well have a 9 year old commentate.
