The Cricket Thread (part 10) - from Feb 2025

Fark don’t bring up facts like that. It’s like when I went to Lords on my honeymoon in 2009. We hadn’t lost a test at Lord’s since 1934 and with me there we got knocked off

Both the Aussies and I were losers with that experience - my credit card copped a bashing from my wife while I was at the test!

Pretty interesting that the Poms fans and certain ex players have been crapping on about Steve Smith being a cheat, and they roll out Matt Prior to carry the urn…

Except Lyon bowled 50 overs with the pink ball at Gabba 2 years ago and he has always enjoyed the extra bounce at the Gabba - just like Warnie did.

I’m not sure if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with me ? :rofl::face_with_peeking_eye:

And only 1 over in the pink ball test last year.

if he’s not fit, he shouldn’t play regardless. Neser knows what he’s doing

Nice touch, I was hoping they’d honour Robin Smith.

Yeah probably just reinforcing the point it’s a strange decision in my view. It does strengthen our tail.

Not sure why they wouldn’t come out with it if he wasn’t fit…

My memories of the Gabba tests was also finishing about an hour early cause a storm goes through. Wonder if it’ll be the same.

Those storms will be at the dinner break of a day night test
