The Association Football Cricket thread

[RPCB]

My official ruling is: Match officials waste so much time ****ing around on calls that are so clearly out. Call the batter out, stupid!

 

[Magma]

What are people’s opinion here? I think it’s out. Why do poms feel the need to go walkabout when batting?

how on earth does an english player get out this way again? just stand in your crease until the ball is dead. this is not hard.

and he was recalled anyways. weak as piss

Very enjoyable seeing Warner cop an arse kicking in the final.
Genuine turd of Australian cricket.

Agree.

Ridiculous innings from Mitch Owen.

 

[largebus]

Owen and Connolly have shown this season they're miles ahead of JFM, and they can bowl a couple of overs.

That's disappointing, I thought the hit and giggle crap was beneath you.

Tailend bastmen are ahead of JFM.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Good to have some batting talent coming through.

Goes to show how shit Pakistan have become if they can have the Windies at 8-54 in the first inning and still manage to lose by 120 runs.

They prepared turning pitches and were undone by Windies spinners.

Stick Cricket vibes

 

[Jatz]

That Tom Curran vision is astonishing.

That's 10 times worse than the Bairstow one. The throw was on it's way back when he wandered out of the crease.

Any umpire not giving that out should be sacked.

Head to opener I understand. Opens on sun-continent tours.
Konstas looks to be horses for courses. Inglis would have to surprise me, looks to be an okay player.

 

[Magma]

i dont quite understand why they didnt just have head open in the india series and bring in mcsweeney at 5 if head just opens the next series anyways.

 

[Jatz]

How will this be good for Konstas? The chopping and changing sucks.

 

[Magma]

kind of taking the piss here early. nothing for the bowlers

 

[largebus]

Early doors but Head taking the helmet off this early is not a good sign for a competitive series.
The rain might play a role though

 

[Jatz]

Yeah this will be pointless...

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Good horses for courses changes IMO. Khawaja is good in the sub-continent of late. Head excels there.
Obvious opening partnership.

Starc's record in SL is very good. Obvious choice as sole seamer.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

4th Australian. All passed the mark as Captain.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

He’s 19, plenty of time

 

[RPCB]

Can we all appreciate just how close we were to having a Vanderlay playing today?

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Yes Smudger. Good patient knock.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Inglis getting a knock based on an average career so far. McSweeney deserved the gig if they are going to need someone in the middle order. Inglis is one of those players that CA love and try to squeeze in anywhere.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

This is flatter than Kate Hudson.
I'd score runs on this pitch.
