I saw something about the ICC intervening now

 

[Mop]

Not heard of them.
Was it a YouTube channel you could stream or watch replays on?
I don't use YouTube much at all.

He had the biggest youtube channel of cricket highlights anywhere

 

[happy_eagle]

Could there be anything more wonderful than England finishing this World Cup in the bottom two then India choking in a semi final against Pakistan

South Africa choking in the other semi would top it off

Although at this stage, just get South Africa to chase a total and they will choke.

Seems that way

Rob Moody aka Robelinda is a random cricket fan in Melbourne (I think) with an insane catalogue of video recordings of cricket matches stretching back decades

He would put together various compilations and post them on YouTube. They weren’t usually very long as he tried to walk the tightrope of copyright

What they were was very very good

There was a sublime video of Damien Martyn cover driving that would pop up on my twitter feed from time to time that I never got tired of

He did hundreds of videos based on different themes. So there’d be one of Starc yorkers, or a great innings, or a collection of shitty umpiring decisions etc etc

And it wasn’t just Australian games. He had footage of a great array of other international matches so a video would pop up from games you’d never seen

Did it all for free. No ads, no monetisation from youtube

It does appear the ICC might be getting involved to help and rightly so

He does more to promote cricket than any national body. Should be celebrated not victimised

 

[Farang83150]

That's a comprehensive spanking for the saffirs

 

[Keys]

Just listening to Mark Taylor wrapping up India’s big win.

“…the pitch really did suit them…”

There’s a surprise

It didnt suit them enough for SA to be all out for 83!

 

[RookiePick]

The only way India lose this tournament is if they get ahead of themselves and **** up the semi. They are just on a whole other level to the rest at the moment. Couple that with home ground advantage and it's a lay down misere.

Hopefully goes better than the last time India looked like losing a semi-final in a Wold Cup...

IND vs SL Cricket Scorecard, 1st Semi-Final at Kolkata, March 13, 1996

Live Cricket Scoreboard: Get India vs Sri Lanka 1st Semi-Final, cricket scorecard, Wills World Cup 1995/96 dated March 13, 1996.

www.espncricinfo.com

At the fall of the 8th Indian wicket, sections of the crowd vented their disgust with the state of the match by setting fire to some areas of the stands and throwing fruit and waterbottles onto the field. The match was briefly stopped and when play was about to resume, the crowd again threw bottles at the deep fielders. The match referee stopped the game and the game was awarded to Sri Lanka by default.

Response from robelinda (on reddit 10 minutes ago)

This is absolute bullshit. 2 videos were terminated before any communication AT ALL. Then I get random threatening message NOT through proper channels, saying to remove all 2006 Bangladesh messages OR ELSE, I found 14 videos, I terminated 8 of them, ones you didn’t even mention, and then I find that that the channel is terminated, and there were videos listed that I couldn’t even find! I have been dealing with legitimate copyright holders for 14 years, I always get an official email through YouTube stating which SPECIFIC videos are causing an issue, they don’t send a blanket statement and send me off looking though 2700 videos trying to find anything that might match the offending criteria, that’s just completely ****ing dumb.

Wa 7/109 against NSW. Very likely we drop this game and hand NSW’s first win in a very long time

Gone from 2-85 to 7-92.

Sounds like I'm scapegoating but I'm just about done with Josh Philippe. The guy has been given an innumerable number of opportunities and consistently spudded up. We ditched Marcus Harris when he was a year or two younger than Philippe and if it was ok then it should be ok now.

Any young keepers coming through?

I’m shocked that his first class average is 28. He usually seems to get out for about 4 and almost never makes it into double figures.

He’s a handy white ball player but you’re right, when Inglis is called up or injured, Philippe is basically a black hole in the batting lineup.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

I will also say that while Wyllie is still quite young and not too much should fall on his shoulders, his scores last season and so far this one have really not been sufficient for someone batting at 3 or 4.

It will be nice to get some reinforcements back from India, and hopefully Wyllie and Cartwright can find some form between now and Shield starting back up.

This is so much bullshit. That a couple of piss-weak randoms can destroy decades of hard work and a source of joy for cricket fans the world over in a couple of days with almost no effort is so deflating.

**** those dudes who did this.

Seems we're relying too much on our openers.

Hardie has been a big loss.

 

[Tugga27]

Some interesting scores in the Shield today.

Tasmania batting for 5 sessions.
They might roll the Vics but it's a long time if you want a result.

SA only making 46 in the first session.

Not sure if sides are that interested in winning anymore.

Can a makeshift hill recapture the hearts and minds of WA cricket fans?

With Tests in Perth failing to attract big crowds, Cricket Australia is turning to an old favourite, the hill, to reignite passions in the west.

I really hope they aren't using artificial turf or it's going to be very painful for anyone sitting on it if we get hot weather.

Hard to tell but I think they've blocked out some seating on the Southern end for this, so full sunshine mid December. It would be fairly difficult to sustain real grass in there as well. I hope they do, but I reckon it'll be fake turf that they will set up each year and store away for footy season.

Let's hope they're not silly enough to then ban picnic blankets or small folding chairs so you can avoid direct contact with the searing synthetic lawn.

I hope they keep it for the Scorchers games in Jan. I'd be keen to take the young fella to his first game and it sounds like the right spot for someone of his attention span.

What are they doing with the WACA anyways? Any chance that eventually they can play Tests there again, given the crowd numbers aren't suitable for Optus?

they have started the redevelopment, supposed to be done in 15 months.

includes a 50m pool you can watch the cricket from.

they talked to Christine Matthews during yesterdays wbbl game. Unfortunately they didn’t show any renderings.

one positive I guess, you can just pee in the pool seeing as there won’t be any urinals
