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

Boland areas from Siraj.

Real carnival atmosphere at the Wanderers. The joint is heaving!

Tim David loves dropping a catch

Sud Efrika have batted with a lot of luck, bad catching aside.

He just seems like a lazy ā– ā– ā– ā–  Tim David. He’s a bit of a liability in the field tbh.

Looks soooo unco in slo-mo…

Should never have been chasing more than 280 on this pitch, but we will be…

Another great decision at the toss.

We will be 4/50 chasing this anyway.

Trav thinks he can still play a role this WC

Far from ideal though. You don’t want to be entering the fray in the heat of a World Cup having not been able to hold a bat for weeks. It’s a blow either way.

Just garbage.

If this a sign of the World Cup coming up… don’t even bother with the airfares to India.

Bowling Tim David in the 46th over is verging on throwing the match territory lol

It’s good pre planning for the WC imo. Throw him the ball under a bit of pressure and see how he goes. If he does well, it gives you another option if you need it

Same with green bowling some of the death overs

Not really, cos he’s not even in the World Cup squad :sweat_smile:

Not yet, but the squads are still to be finalised

All nations have until the 28th September to finalise their team

He’d want to start making a run with the bat. He certainly hasn’t made a good case for himself. I’d rather we take Matt Short if there is an injury replacement.

Sri Lanka all out for 50 in the Asia Cup Final in Colombo vs India.

Had won 13 out of last 14 ODIs before today…

Yeah I would definitely be taking short too. He is a massive talent and a great boundary hitter

That was as plumb as it gets

Great ball!

On a hat trick…

Okay, maybe not much more than 280…
