Australian white-ball tour of Scotland and England, September 2024

[sabso]

England trying their best to delay play.

That fat England streaker bloke will probably make an appearance soon.

So long as he carries on the spirit of maxy walker I’ll allow it

 

[Bradesmaen]

someone tell that moron to calm down. Last thing we need is to lose a wicket.

Yo tuggs

I think they will go with head ....I am worried about smudge and I reckon they will drop him back down

Yes a lot depends on green...even if he can't bowl I still think they will play him as a batter . I can even see smudge going to 5 and green staying 4

Yeah no Chappell Marsh can't open needs to be at six and if green can't bowl mitch needs to roll the arm over, can't have mitch bowling and then opening

If green dog is ruled out and does not play that opens it up ....and I think they will go a specialist opener.....Bancroft in the frame but the four shield games will be huge ..

But overall smudge will go down the order for me whatever the result with green dog

Bancroft. Please. Not test opener quality. Test batting average of 26. Spare me. Matt Short is the go to man to open .

 

[freo_leo29]

20 overs yay

 

[Moonwatcher]

We won't get to the 4 down score at the 20 over mark. Need to make sure we don't lose wickets.

How long do we have to wait to get a DLS result?

[Westend]

Night lads

 

[freo_leo29]

Probably ages but its all but over now

 

[freo_leo29]

50 ahead on DLS in the end, not bad at all

 

[Moonwatcher]

We're actually ahead of England at the same stage.

 

[NYRB]

Over to Ireland v South Africa in the cricket

 

[Moonwatcher]

By 5 balls hahahaha

Would have been quite comfortable had they not resorted to time wasting tbf.

 

[sabso]

Marcus Harris btw

 

[juice t]

Looks like there is a bit of promotion on Western Australia at Bristol ground today....

"Come to Joondalup, the Bristol of the Southern Hemisphere"

 

[Plugger35]

It sounded like they were playing this song there.




The English cricket ground DJs would have that song on high rotation.

 

[Plugger35]

At least we now get a great discussion about English cricket between Ian Ward, Nasser and Athers which is riveting to listen to.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Stopped raining apparently

 

[Moonwatcher]

It's the first rain delay so wouldn't lose much in the way of overs.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Last day of cricket this 'summer'

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like rain has stopped and the covers are coming off.
