Off-topic The Bay 13 Cricket thread - On the Windies bandwagon with Plugger. F*** India

[Yidaki]

It's been like 7 years since we finished 9th...

I was more commenting that a Freo game moves about as fast as test cricket.



Caught the end of today's game, the Irish were just so casual about it, none of the celebrations of the last two World Cups. Reckon they expect to go through.

Who did they play again?

Oi

I watched the end of today's game too and what really surprised me was how little the Windies cared about the fact they were losing, or that there was still a chance of them winning.

 

[Allikat]

Who did they play again?

West Indies. Absolute rabble of a team

 

[RIOLIUSTAR]

well, my team has, and surely have a few more to eat... i may as well have one, too!

nom nom

 

[Yidaki]

West Indies. Absolute rabble of a team

They beat the WI? Wow. I thought the WIndies were decent? So the Irish are better then?

 

[hawkman]

Yeah, good points.

Will they show the finals at least?

Semi finals and final

 

[Yidaki]

Semi finals and final

Thanks channel nine

The Windies have been weird leading up to this tournament. Like, not selecting some of their better players, and seriously just cruising even when losing today

Oi

You know it's true.

Yeah, they're a rabble. Gave up that game a long way out too from the look of things, Ireland got jittery late, but the Windies had let them get too far ahead of the asking rate by that point to make a difference.

Windies have fallen off a cliff in recent times, just when you think they've bottomed out and are on the way back, they find a new low to hit.

Their board are set to go bankrupt over a $60million lawsuit from the BCCI over an unplayed series. Disaster on and off the field.

That's embarrassing. And to think of the powerhouse they used to be. What about the flog Gale or whatever his name is?

 

[Plugger35]

I farken hope so.

I really wanted to watch the subcontinental game yesterday....however, zero foxtel.

Some of the other big blockbuster games that don't clash with Australia's games like India v Pakistan, India v South Africa and NZ v England should be shown on FTA which will probably all get better ratings than Australia beating up on minnows like Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Scotland.

Got a whole 36 runs off 65 balls.

Melbourne like in the way they keep hitting new lows

Gayle is past it, too busy living the rockstar life these days to care about cricket.

He's just picked on reputation these days, hasn't made a decent score in ages.

He's there, giving zero f***s as usual*.


*on field, I'm sure he's doing fantastically off field in that department...as usual

Depends on how much it would've cost them to buy them. Takes away the need to attend too I guess, so the ICC might not like that.

It's backwards, but the ICC are too.

That is an excellent comparison, they are so very Melbourne-esque.

Isn't that pretty accurate for most of the West Indies crew?

 

[Plugger35]

Probably one of the reasons why Dwayne Bravo and Keiron Pollard were axed from the WC squad despite being two of their best all rounders.

 

[charcoalchicken]

nice thread title, I agree should be no where near the side.

I dunno. It can't be that easy to stuff up carrying the drinks

Didn't you hear Australian's only want to watch Australia, and only want commentary from Tubby, Heals, Warnie, Slats and Binga. We don't care about other teams at all. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2015/feb/13/channel-nine-destroying-cricket-legacy

The day Channel 9 and Cricket Australia wake up and realise the general public want to see good cricket, regardless of the team, and would actually like to know more about the other teams, will be a good day.

 

[go you pups]

WC coverage is BS imo.

Not even a ******* highlights package at 11pm, disgraceful by Ch9

 

[Paer]

According to Channel 9 news last night, Shane Watson was our highest paid cricketer last year earning 4.5mil.

Imagine how much he would earn if he wasn't a complete shit truck

There is more than one way to sort out a pay dispute with your board.

 

[David Schwarz]

These Afghan bowlers sure are miserly campaigners
