Cricket Part II

They should be really unconventional and make the Captain the 12th man

Not sure which Starc you’re looking at, that’s heavily built? He’s stringy as. Particularly compared to Steyn, who’s pretty well built.

Also much harder decks and grounds here, compared to England at least. Plays a part.

That’s just depressing. A specialist number 8. Test Captain.

But he has the lineage …

I read that, thought I mis-read it because he dad wasn’t exactly the greatest cricketer of all

Yes but he was chairman of selectors.

If anyone really wants to get to the bottom of “what’s wrong with Maxwell”, have a good think about who’s in the spot he would get. Mitch Marsh has been the anointed one for 5+ years. All the rest is excuse making after the fact.

Astute captaincy

Apparently onions cried

Not a fan of the hit and giggle format but with BBL now being played on Christmas Day it might give me something to watch

Loving the domestic one day comp on the cricket app. Unlike the cvunts at afl you can stream it to your telly through Apple TV.

Darcy Short a lazy 200 against QLD, albeit on a ground smaller than anything I’ve seen.

This is insane…

Could he make 300??? Get around him!

OUT! Stumped. Matthew Kuhnemann to D’Arcy Short. Length ball, Slog, Play and Miss to wicketkeeper, by Peirson.

Nooo :frowning: Spoke too soon

WA are currently 380 and only one player has made it past 27! Not a bad knock

Some of the Grade grounds in sydney wouldn’t pass muster for park cricket down here. North Sydney and Hurstville two of the worst.

Pffft! Try to bowl spin on Little Hurley (Hurlingham Park’s second ground) down on Nepean Highway. Guy top-edged it to conventional backward square, and it was 6 by 5 metres.

Or the Trey Bit, down behind Trevor Barker Oval.

Next to them, North Sydney Oval is the MCG.

Has there ever been a less relevant warm up game to a test series to the Australia v Pakistan A game?

Pakistan playing no spinners to give aussies no prep, made even more silly by lyon taking 8 wickets in the first innings. Now the aussie bats taking full toll but for what? This isn’t anything like they’ll face in the tests so isn’t practice at all

Cal Ferguson hits a superb hundred against Queensland at Nth Sydney Oval. Hopefully he gets another crack at International cricket. In supreme touch and I’d say as good as he was prior to that knee injury that really curtailed his career…

Bangladesh women chasing 89 to win, currently 9/26.
One bowler has 3/0 From 3 overs
