Cricket Part II

[percebushby]

Tom Curren regularly at 126kpm. Looks a good first change bowler for park cricket.

126kpm ? Just like Broad, then. These days, that is.

[percebushby]

Be splitting hairs for man of the match between ussy and Shaun. You’d suspect Shaun if he goes close to 200

Lyon’s 8 for 80 odd in the second innings may be enough…

Just for the laugh they should give MotM to Anderson.

Imagine if our batting lineup wasn’t such a farce… England might have been embarrassed today.

Team will he announced before the Shield rounds. They’ll need to go on BBL form.

[HowManyGoal]

They don’t actually do that, do they?

[IceTemple]

They don’t actually do that, do they?

Yes they do, they have even stated that they do. They also take into consideration the SS and ODD that have already been played.

The commentators are constantly saying they don’t like the review system and that it doesn’t work. Then every time an incorrect decision is overturned e.g Root yesterday, they go silent.
From my side it adds some interest to the game and at the end of the day produces more correct decisions than without it.

I agree. It’s not perfect, but it’s an improvement on just using onfield umpires

[Speedy_Gonzales]

Root gone to hospital this morning. Severe dehydration. May have to retire & not bat.

Two days in field/batting with helmet on in the heat has cooked him.

[You_Shall_Be_Smoten]

wtf were the English medical staff doing yesterday then?

[IceTemple]

They say it was 57c on the field for most of the day. Surely that is an OH&S issue for the ICC?

But yes, it seems strange he was not being given much fluids throughout the day to avoid this? No one else was suffering to that degree, after all Shaun Marsh batted all day then fielded the rest of it and he was fine.

[IceTemple]

From Cicinfo:
9.55am: Root is on his way to the ground but unlikely to resume straight away, the ECB have announced. Sounds like he will be okay to bat at some point, though

I assume this means that if they look like it is tight and they need to survive for the draw he will bat, but if they get rolled it will be unlikely for him to bat.

[wimmera1]

I’m a cynical kind of guy.
But I would not want to see him coming in if the first wicket falls after half an hour.

[wimmera1]

Bowl yourself, cap’n.
Three overs then bring two quicks on.

[wimmera1]

I’m a little delirious after nightshift, but…was that just a Franco Cozzo ad or am I having a stroke?

[GeoffBlethynsGlasses]

“Gran Sale Gran Sale Gran Sale.”

And either Franco’s ties have shrunk or his guts have grown!

[SplitRound]

Now I’m thinking of that time Graeme Smith came back out to try and save a game after he got his hand broken by Johnson.

hmmmm

[premature_rookie_ele]

what a weaselly little grub.

10AM: i’m thirsty guys, can’t bat.
11AM: I’m OK!!! xoxo

[premature_rookie_ele]

shattered he didn’t go out first ball.
