[Junk yard]

Is young Harry Potter for the Big V bowling poorly or just a bad wicket for him?

He's trash.

England become first team to score half a million test runs.

[SpiderBurton22]

Lol. What was Riley Meredith thinking? Must have thought he was playing white ball cricket.

So its happened again in the SA vs Tassie I see.
To quote from BBC
"
During the chase, there was also an incident reminiscent of Jonny Bairstow being controversially run out by Alex Carey at Lord's in last summer's Ashes.

With the Tigers going well, South Australia opted to go to a short-ball plan in an attempt to limit the scoring.

Tim Ward, who made 142, ducked a bouncer off Henry Thornton, before scratching his guard and walking out of his crease, a la Bairstow.

Harry Nielsen threw down the stumps but the appeal was denied, with the umpires deciding that over had been called.'

This is the decision that should have been made in the Bairstow case and would have avoided all the anguish.
I always say the umps were to blame that day when common sense went out the window

As usual you are wrong.

Here's a quote from 3 days ago from retired umpire Marais Erasmus.

Fair effort to remain sour for so long. Funny though.

It still cheers me up after all this time, every time I see it mentioned.

 

[rickety]

Was keeping in the nets for a local U12 team on monday. A few of them zing the ball down with enough heat to make one wish for a pair of gloves ..... copped a ripper flush on the end of my little finger. Thought I'd had the nail ripped off .... not to be .... hopefully tomorrow I can bend the fecker again though.

 

[Nate7]

Boland out, Hazelwood in.

Just as predicted Samsquanch

No one does it better.

You can call me the Nostradamus if you want.

You have to wonder about the Australian selectors.

Well, you probably don't need to wonder. Their bias is pretty obvious. Maybe Boland should buy an apartment in Sydney and register on the electoral roll as a new south Welshman. It might give him a shot at playing consecutive test matches.

If Hazelwood breaks down id recommend that one of his teammates crack his skull with a bat so he can be replaced under the concussion protocol. Might have to do it discreetly though.

That bias has always been there

Yes, Tasmania's George Bailey and Victorians Andrew McDonald and Tony Dodemaide are shamelessly favouring New South Wales players...

 

[toepoker]

Yes and fancy having preference for perennial underperformer Josh Hazlewood
What's he ever done?

As I leaned from the FBI, follow the money. That will explain everything.

 

[DuckYeah]

Time to go 2-1 and shut these ****ing arrogant campaigners up.

I agree. Go India.

 

[DuckYeah]

I agree. Go India.

Hate em.

 

[Samsquanch]

I agree. Go India.

If they bring Boland back for the Melbourne test we can level up again. That sets up the decider in Sydney, which might be the selector's motivation in picking Hazelwood for the Brisbane match.

Maybe, if the series is live, the daily crowd numbers in Sydney might rival Adelaide.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Important match for the Aussies to win up at the Gabba... before they have to hit the road for an Away match on Boxing Day!

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Hate em.

I'm only joking. Go Aussies. My missus has Indian heritage so if they win I'll just culturally appropriate, put on an India shirt and turn into an Indian supporter.

I do love how arrogant the Indians are though. Australia and England were the same when we controlled the ICC.

Their supporters all over the interwebs are the worst ive seen, worse than english moral victories
