The Cricket Thread (part 9) - from Dec 2024

If you are going on consistency you are probably right. However as a true fast bowler Mitchell Johnson on his day was fantastic and could truly make the batsmen jump around.

Finally had a listen to the whole thing, hilarious but also good in-depth analysis. Starting just after the 16 min mark they rip into Joel Wilson for a full 5 minutes, but is ha to be said he deserves all that and a lot more invective as well. The most incompetent display by a cricket chump l have ever seen. Should hang up his hat right now.

The Duckett argument is very simply solved by providing an opener who has had a better year in 2024.

Cool, me too

Happy for England to have as many players possible in the World team of the year. We will concentrate on winning games and lifting trophies whilst they are stuck in mediocrity :rofl:

I’ve always said a simple solution is to do away with the toss and let the visiting team elect to bat/bowl

Another hopeless batting collapse, although thankfully it is the 6ers.

No. They are cooked up in a food van, delicious.

Btw I rate the Bistro Morgan donuts and cinnamon scrolls - very very good

That 9 Test sequence from the 2013/14 Ashes to the tour of South Africa directly after that series, he was possibly the most lethal bowler of all-time. He took 59 wickets at around 16 in that period. He look 300+ Test wickets but for me he was very much an enigma. On his day he could be the best bowler in the world but when he was off he was very poor. I put him, Brett Lee and Starc in a similar category.

Ball hooping around at the GABBA. The Stars may not score.

It’s funny, you see the Stars going well with the ball and then you then realise, they have to face the same thing.
