Cricket Discussion - Part 2

T20 cricket is boring!

THIS IS CRICKET!

 

[TazD]

Awesome stuff. The Snicko guy is taking money from the Indians but the third ump is taking money from us.

 

[Papa G]

Joel effing Wilson strikes again but this time we had a review handy

And fire Snicko into the sun, there was a clear deflection

Was a clear deflection. Looked a deflection in real time. Slow mo clear. Snicko meh.

 

[TazD]

this is bullshit.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Carn

 

[TazD]

Joel Wilson would be right at home in the AFL or NBA.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Snicko works! Must have been on smoko earlier

 

[TazD]

Comical field.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Sensational win. We looked buggered at 6/91 in the second innings, a great comeback from there.

 

[Rising Power]

Fingers crossed for the traditional rained out Sydney Test

....and bat and bat and bat and bat

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Incredible.

Pant largely responsible for the results in the two of the best test matches in Aus in the past decade.

1000 times this.

Rest Starc, play Richardson or Morris. Marsh will
Hold his spot.

 

[raptalia]

You little beauty. Now for Sydney.

Australia's most important batsmen: Lyon & Boland

Australia's most important bowlers: Lyon & Boland

 

[philreich]

I hope we win the toss in Sydney and make 800.

 

[Festerz]

Joel Wilson has surely umpired his last game in Australia. Appalling non-decision making.

Sensational win by the Aussies and excellent use of the bowlers by Cummins, and like no doubt many I thought the game was headed for a tame draw after that wicketless middle session.

Now for a negative, the arrogance of the two Indian batsmen who approached the officiating ump after their dismissals had been confirmed on video evidence by the 3rd umpire in what appeared to be attempts to get him to reverse the decision was absolute BS, if any other country tried that crap in India they would be rioting in the stands.

Which is why I hate the Indians more than I hate the Poms. Beating those scumbags is sooooooooooo sweet!!!!!

Agreed Phil, I wouldn't have thought it was possible to dislike any cricketing team more than the poms, but with a few exceptions like eg Rahul this Indian team is so far up itself I have put them at the top my hate list as well, and as you suggest today's win was very satisfying.

They have more than a few totally unlikeable campaigners with Kohli and Siraj right at the top of the list, but some of their young blokes eg Jaiswal with his ridiculous attempt to get an ump to reverse video evidence of his dismissal are showing signs they could be heading down that same path and I doubt things will improve while India continues to have so much say in the politics of the game, ala Kohli's slap on the wrist for instigating physical contact with Konstas!

 

[Festerz]

How lame is this rock and roll 20/20 stuff after the see-saw top tier drama in the 5 day test match we just watched?

There was a stat on ABC Radio during their test match coverage today where they mentioned how many First Class T20 games had been played across the world this year. The number was staggering but as I was in the car I'll be fecked if I can remember it - like almost every t20 game I've ever watched.

I know I'm sounding like the old farts I abhorred as a teenager who complained about One Day Internationals when they first came in. But this over exposure of mediocre rubbish is surely taking away from the very best of the game?

Let me ask you a question - who won the Big Bash 2 years ago? Yeah I have no idea either: pretty much sums it up.

I think the sun kissed orange sunbeams beat the lime green custard coated tarts with coconut sprinkles.

Nathan Lyon was BOG for his DJ work.

I dont think I could even name a team. Sydney strikers? Melbourne stars? West Sydney sixers? I have no idea lol
