Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread

[THE A5]

Maybe some bad blood over sandpaper gate.

A good captain would say something like "We have several good options for opening and we'll work through them".

He's virtually thrown Bancroft under the bus.
I hope they play him but wouldn't be surprised if he's left out.

Not the first time he’s thrown bangers under a bus

Bancroft threw the bowlers under the bus by implying they should have known the ball was tampered with, was a comment he should have kept to himself for the sake of his career and now unsurprisingly he's being treated like a snitch.

Wouldn’t say that’s throwing them under the bus entirely. It’s trying to deflect the blame, but they can easily deny it.

Very late to the news but saw that march 11 2027 we are playing a one of test with England at the G. Doesn’t footy have the G by then usually?

150 year anniversary of the first ever Test?

Being the MCG, I'm sure such an event takes precedence.

Perhaps a good excuse to have round 0 in Sydney and then gather round in round one

Yep, I remember watching that interview and thinking 'that's a good way to mark your cards for life'

And people wonder why he couldn't get picked while he was scoring runs for fun last season. I know Cummins/Ronald McDonald came out and said it wasn't related, but Stevie Wonder can see that Bancroft has a permanent line through his name after that interview.

Hence the coining of the phrase "Dumb as a box of Banners"

Captain ‘We’re shit at it therefore it doesn’t matter’ strikes again

Just as long as they have the moral victory, that's all that matters...

Maybe he's trying to say that the focus should be on who is the best Test playing nation overall, not just between Australia and England. So in other words, importance needs to be placed on the World Test Championship.

Oh wait...

Unknown English wildcard Matty Hurst ready to scorch the BBL

The 21-year-old has only been playing professional cricket for 16 months but was drafted by Perth Scorchers on the urging of his Manchester Originals coach Simon Katich

The percentages are pretty low. There will be plenty of play.

Decent temps and humidity/cloud...likely over inside 3 days again I expect. Both bating lineups will fold up at least once.

A mate of mine has flown from Sydney to go to the Brisbane test.

Figure that, someone from Sydney goes to another state to see some test cricket only for it to get rained out there too.

 

[ioppolo]

If Brisbane ends up another three day test, we'll see one hell of a highway on Boxing day I dare say.

I suspect we'll lose a fair amount of time to rain/poor light in this test

Man, just play with a pink ball and extend play until 9.30 if you have to. Come on cricket.

lolololol. Mate it will rain out the first session and they will take lunch on schedule while the sun shines.

Common sense being applied in a game of cricket?

 

[squashface]

If they simply played every test in Perth we would never have an issue
