Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

I can appreciate the idea of treating a total around 160 like a T20 game, crazy as that sounds. But you've collectively made it to 40, that mindset can now be set aside, stay in and take some shine off the ball. Get the chasing total to under 100 and take some pressure off the rest of the team.

100%. A quarter of the total is gone and we've lost a wicket.

Relax and maintain control of the situation.

I love that India is wearing the pink gear.

 

[shinboner magic]

Maybe this pony has one trick

Yeah if you go by tests you’d agree but in state games he bats properly

 

[King Corey]

Is Konstas the Rhyce Shaw (coaching version) of cricket?

 

[Samsquanch]

Is Joel Wilson checking for no balls?

 

[koshari]

8 wides costly in low scoring game

He actually played a couple of nice shots

 

[Sillygit]

Worse shot than konstas

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Marnus’ shot was worse than Konstas’ shot.

"We love you coz you're a Victorian!"

Blank stares.

If I had a dollar for every time during this series a NSW ex test player in commentary (which is at least half of the Fox Cricket team) bagged out Melbourne or Victoria or displayed a clear chip on their shoulder I could retire today.

 

[shinboner magic]

Smith played that due to the crowd

 

[SpiderBurton22]

All this started because of Sam Konstas' shit shot.

 

[Samsquanch]

Kholi's a w@nker... LOL

 

[krakouers]

Nothing personal against him but did laugh at the Smith dismissal

 

[shinboner magic]

This Joel Wilson just **** off

 

[krakouers]

Pretty cheeky considering he was done for ball tampering twice

 

[DaveyBoy123]

For Mine, Konstas got himself out as he had something wrong with his hand - probably a blister. Took his gloves off twice in that over and just looked in discomfort. With the field so spread & Prisadh bowling at his pads every 2nd ball, there were 1s & 2s for him at will. Grit through it youngster!

Marnus' dismissal was a disgrace - & even worse than that in the circumstances of the match. Probably frustrated with not getting runs from the 2 balls before that which were outside leg stump.

I reckon a bowling change was about to come when the 2nd & 3rd wickets fell, but now they will just keep bowling their 2 main bowlers for as long as possible.

Just poor batting/thinking after the initial onslaught.
