Universal Love Cricket Australian Summer

Lol, Stokes drops a catch trying to celebrate the catch! Caught it clean but went to throw it up and clipped his knee knocking it out of his hand.

384 was probably always going to be too much but with 120 and 7 wickets in hand, the collapso kings went to work. 3/264 to 8/294 with checks notes Moeen Ali as the destroyer. Lol.

Should've won that from the position they were in but it's almost impossible to chase close to 400 in the fourth innings.

The ball change though needs to be investigated. Basically the difference between a win and a loss in this test.

I thought people must have been having a bit of a whinge waking up this morning but the side by side of the ball change is pretty ridiculous.

So after two long months this thread can now slink off into obscurity.

Fare thee well

And they call us cheats . We keep the ashes , the rest resembled a slow motion car crash from us . culminating in our now traditional batting collapse again . The spirit of cricket is Bourbon .

 

[Saab NLAW]

Can we get rid of Warner now please? If it's not too much to ask for how about a new captain too.

 

[Jamurp]

That's why 2nd innings chases are always such a tease, so many sides have been in decent positions and starring down the barrel of a record run chase and win, only to capitulate and lose. Really disappointing loss, but 2-2 is probably fair. Been a fantastic series overall though.

World Cup thread adjustments incoming.

potato is potato does.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Watching the aussies outside of Australia (particularly in India) is some serious train wreck TV. Even the ashes while fun to start with had a disapointing drop off only to be bailed out by the rain

But aye we'll smack the windies and pakistan around when they tour

 

[jhong]

Welcome to the all Australian farewell tour , brought to you by the Dads Army cricket team . First prize to whom even guesses how many will retire from the test team by the summers seasons end . Watching this team atm is just as bad as the Wallabies, only the wallabies have been shit for decades.

From the body language all of them don't care, they just want to play BBL or some other T20 tourney just to make a quick buck and not give two ****s about playing for their national team.

One step away from being a West Indies

Selection is terrible. 2 plodders in Smith and Marnus surrounded by a bunch of all rounders who aren't elite at either bat or ball. Bowling tactics under Ronald McDonald has been terrible. Fielding has gone backwards at a rapid rate. The captain is not a good captain. The lack of a decent spinner is telling too. This tourney has been a disaster.

Aus cricket needs an overhaul. Big Bash isn't overly working. The best Aus players don't play..we beat up on teams in our summer, but really struggle away. The team in general is on the nose. Might be a good chance to go young with a new coach. Offer Punter a contract he can't refuse.

A proper capitulation by the Aussies. Pakistan deserves to win.

 

[jhong]

Smith out of form , Hazelwood adds nothing . Reckon the bowlers need to not be dumb .

 

[Triggering Tiger]

Last 7 overs or so the Aussies were putrid after dominating.

Starc moving the ball a heap…. Down the leg side.

 

[jhong]

Starc you numbskull.

400 was gettable had they not tried to smash every ball in the last 10 overs. Some of the shot selections were cringeworthy.

 

[Triggering Tiger]

Starc you numbskull.

Hazelwood is a batting bunny, he has no idea.

 

[jhong]

There is a couple of players in this team on past reputation, he is one IMO. Shall see how he bowls this innings.

 

[Triggering Tiger]

I reckon pakistan will get these runs easily, most of the aussie bowlers are well past it.

 

[jhong]

Starc bowling crap .

 

[jhong]

What has happened to our catching?

 

[jhong]

Finally starting to hold our catches, makes a big difference.
