The Cricket Thread (part 6) - from July 2023 (Bartholemew Frinton-Smythe, Humphrey Wigbert-Porter, and Quinten Breckenridge)

We going to play Inglis and Carey in the same team at the World Cup? Inglis isn’t great in the field.

That ball was like it had tape on it.

Nice nut.

Why have they taken the slip out???

Unlikely I’d reckon. We still have Maxwell and Smith to come into the team. Travis Head going out might shuffle him up a little bit in the pecking order though.

I see that we have picked Matt Short as Head’s replacement for our next series against India in the lead up to the WC. I like that a lot. Short is a heck of a talent IMO.

On form I’d say Inglis is a chance to replace Carey.
On difficulty level to get dropped, I’d say no chance, though.

Agar’s ‘soreness’ and then now his paternity leave is not ideal timing at all. He’s going to be coming into the WC having hardly played any cricket. I imagine the selectors would have had in their mind to play both Zampa and Agar over in the subcontinent, albeit wicket depending.

And if you didn’t play Agar, the guy who would likely have bowled plenty of overs to complement Zampa would have been Travis Head :grimacing:
Hopefully Maxwell is right to go.

Things were going great, but we need to break this middle order partnership now…

Meanwhile, India have Sri Lanka 5-12 in the Asia Cup Final :man_facepalming:

That last wicket ball was an absolute cracker.

Lol, bowled three overs and getting a calf rub on the field.

Ok, this pitch is a bit of a minefield.

That ball fkn roared off a length.

Yikes, beardy.

Two hands for beginners.

Zampa has a right to be pretty annoyed…

And David picks him up first ball…
Funny game, cricket.
