Cricket things that annoy you

[Gibbke]

Just came down to watch a good game of 1-day cricket in the sun.

Witnessed the most pathetic batting collapse in cricket history, as WA lost their last 8 wickets for 1 run.

Screw you Western Australia.

Mighty Cascade Tasmanian Tigers have the two lowest scoring scalps in ODD history now, to go with that you beaut 32 all out NSW managed a couple of years ago...nothing better than bitchslapping mainlanders...Tigers, Jackjumpers, can't wait for the footy team to give us the chance 52 weeks a year...

My nephew watched the first 15 overs on TV, then went out to give the dogs a bath when WA were a slow and uneventful 2-52...came back, NSW v Vic was on, and he thought it must have been rained out. I watched just the 8-1 collapse on Kayo...it went for as long as a Kayo Mini...it was all I needed...!

Greatest moment in cricket history.

1. Shastri’s commentary
2. Lara’s Bridgetown knock
3. Joseph’s Gabba spell

Can't argue with that. Would be right up there.

Too many to count in reality of course. Would have loved to have seen S.F. Barnes roll the arm over back in the day.

Ian Bishop’s 6-48 in the same match rounding out the top 5

Cameron Bancroft STILL being talked up as a potential test opener (particularly here in WA), despite:

• a test average of 26; and
• his last 5 first class scores being 0, 0, 2, 8, 0

Better fielder than Harris

If not for injury you wonder what might have been with Bishop. He was scary in that second innings and he could swing the ball a little too. Quite pleasant at that pace.

I was a fraction too young to see him pre-stress fractures but there was a lot of suggestion that he bowled around the 150kph mark and it was obviously married with considerable skill based on what he was able to do after he came back from injury - when he was still pretty rapid anyway and able to get a heap of bounce regardless. He was a beautiful bowler
