Opinion NMFC Board Cricket ThreadII - Windies, Big Bash, Pakistan.

Going to call it a night….hopefully wake up to a lead and no more indecisive batting…..its darn concerning….

Actually shits me how biased the commentary has been, or how English centric it's been. At least in Australian series the commentary will give the opponents their dues.

Just little things.

English player hits a 4: Super stroke, absolutely phenomenal strokeplay, guides it between the fielders with expert touch.

Aussie player hits a 4: Good shot there, reminds me of a stroke that Harry Brook played yesterday.

You’re spot on….hence why l have it on mute…..drives me nuts….
Love tubby….calls it as it is……

there was one time during commentary yesterday that made me chuckle

dunno which pom it was but he was suggesting that the change in bowling tactic had come from the coach during a drinks play and then immediately went to a line of questioning like "are they too reliant on the coach to tell them this", so going immedialtey negative, and tubbs just basically went "dunno, don't care, anyway that was a great wicket"

I heard that and wasn’t like that at all. Tubbs was agreeing with him and they were questioning why can’t the bowlers think for themselves on the field. You’ve just confirmed your own bias there.

"I can't answer that" was literally his response when posed the question, that's how i interpreted it, particularly since that stopped that line of questioning

Yep, that’s what he said but your interpretations is wrong. He was agreeing with him. He couldn’t say why the players couldn’t think for themselves. It wasn’t a shut down of the line of questioning, it was Tubby saying “I have no idea why they’re so stupid”.

fair go, i can see how you could interpret it that way

 

[Sillygit]

i always feel most anxious about the ball after a 6, and this is exactly why

 

[kangatragic]

Woeful shot Carey. Hasn't performed with the bat at all in this series

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Oh, FFS.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Iresponsible batting all series yet these pricks get away with us coz mcdonald is a soft ****. Absolute disgrace

 

[Sillygit]

also f*ck me we should have been able to get them out a good 50 to 60 runs earlier with their tail putting on as much

 

[tales129]

How the **** can blokes like wood and woakes continue to wag the tail yet Carey just throws away his wicket regularly

 

[Mav]

If you want to know why this team is so fragile, look at the coaches.
Head coach: McDonald. Bloody Victorian with a hand full of tests.
Assistant coach: Borovec. Bloody Victorian with zero 1st grade experience.
Assistant Coach: Vettori. A bloody Kiwi.
Batting Coach: Di Venuto. Bloody Tasmanian with zero test experience.

Where the f are the West Aussies?

 

[zoomba23]

Whining Poms have a point about having outplayed us for most of the series. It makes their tears all the sweeter though

 

[Sillygit]

100 to go!

 

[hellas_johnny]

Ffs wtf was that starc

 

[Mav]

I’m done. Can’t watch this any more.

 

[Premieroos]

Hey guys I haven't had the courage to tune in after seeing the grim scorecard since about 9pm, why does Google still give us a 32% chance of winning though?

 

[hellas_johnny]

More dumb batting why does Smith need to do that ffs. Him and Cummins were in c9ntrol

 

[giantroo]

TODD!

 

[Nate7]

Cummins and Murphy steadying this sh** show

 

[giantroo]

Good partnership here. Now for a good lead.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Good partnership here. Now for a good lead.

Yep and it took a “bloody Victorian” to get us over the hump. Murphy now on 32 n.o. with 3 sixes to his name. He’s making the batsmen from the boondocks of SA and WA look like Helen Keller.

 

[tales129]

Harry Potter just fully sending it! Carn

 

[Nate7]

Get Wood back on so The Wizard can belt a few more sixes!

 

[Twinkletoes]

Get Wood back on so The Wizard can belt a few more sixes!

You put the mozz on him ya bastard!
