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

This f***ing lunch break rule, how ridiculous.



It's the ground St Kilda play at on ANZAC Day.



Lulz, he'd get hounded even worse by their press than ours too.

Lunch breaks in ODIs?

"He's just afraid, I think." Harsha Bogle calls out the reason Stuart Broad has gone from a very handy lower order bat to a joke.

Johnson destroyed them mentally on every level.

Technically they still have them for the all day games, but yeah, whatever it's called.

Ridiculous rule though, can you imagine if it started raining, NZ haven't faced enough overs yet to constitute a match.

He was getting out of the way against us, wouldn't get in behind it, weak as piss.

Johnson's 5- 0 troll is still one of the best trolls ever

Ah I see. So if the game starts in the morning, then they take a lunch break.

That is a shit rule. Play the 50 overs, have a bite to eat and play the last 50 FFS.

What was this?

 

[Yidaki]

What was this?

His ownage of the Poms in the last Ashes.

 

[Andy Brennan]

Id love to see the poms not win a single match here

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

How about the poms and the windies play for the minnows cup at whitten oval

 

[Plugger35]

Great time to be a Black Caps supporter, hopefully the Aussies can give us a game next week as all these thrashings are getting a bit boring.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Looks like the British empire needs more Irish, saffas and zimbo's to refill the team.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I can't believe that the best three matches have been zimbo v sa and UAE and the Irish windies game.

 

[JoseMourinho]

Johnson destroyed them mentally on every level.

Just imagine what the Hawks did to the COLAs then imagine 5x the mental anguish for what Johnno did to the Poms.

 

[royals1922]

What was this?

When he put his fingers up in the last test and raised the 5 fingers at the barmy army.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Wide to end the game.

A fitting end for the poms.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

He was getting out of the way against us, wouldn't get in behind it, weak as piss.

let's recap the carnage (Tony Greig voice) from that Ashes series....

Ended the test careers of KP, Trott, Swann, Carberry and Prior (almost).

Mentally ****ed up Broad.

Now watch them doctor the pitches to make them 'competitive' in the ashes

 

[Feerits Elf]

Five wides to win it ...

 

[richoatthedisco]

Yeah, but how? They used to have Swann, and dried up the pitches in 2013 to suit him. But Lyon is better than any spinner they have now. Greentops for Anderson? Good luck!

Could very well go dry again, it would benefit Ali but with the tendency to have the practice wickets alongside, it would also make the grounds abrasive to aid reverse swing which they're better at than us

They will be armed with mints.

It ain't gonna matter.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

It ain't gonna matter.

That's why I said "competitive"

 

[Starburns_]

We're not going to get rolled by this rabble unless Clarke's back/hammys go again and Mitchell Johnson trods on a stray ball, and even then they'd struggle to get a tied series.

I agree. Rogers should do well given he's good in the conditions. I'd pick someone like Bird for the squad, he plays on the most English like conditions at Hobart.

Knowing the poms they'll doctor it as they know they're absolutely ****ed otherwise.

With the prospect of a washout tomorrow, we could end up 2nd in the group. Most likely would be a meeting with Pakistan.
