The Cricket Thread (part 8) - from Jan 2024

The only issue is if England finish 2nd and get to host the final it’s a bit unfair.

The ICC simply needs to look after the pitch and instruct the curator to produce a fair deck.

Knock em over quick and have them bowl in those conditions. Might swing a bit early but going to be very sapping in the field.

Madras like conditions here in Sydney today. We hit 39. No rain around given there is no cricket on at the SCG.

Melbourne can be alright, sometimes. Give it few minutes and it’ll be hailing.

Thank ■■■■ the southerly is here now.

That dew point is obscene! Very, very uncomfortable for the players.

Do our bowlers know that we are allowed to bowl it in the batsman’s half of the pitch?
Pitch it up and let the swing do it’s work
