The Cricket Thread (part 9) - from Dec 2024

Looool.

That’s unfair, what can’t Bumrah do?

Has the record for the most runs in a over in test cricket :wink:

Only thing I can come up with is shave.

Almost like we need a guy that just keeps pounding it in the corridor.
Alright, I’ll shoosh.
Lyon’s wicket was very important.

He’s my favourite cricketer, can do just about anything.

They should just keep aiming at Bumrah hands.

He is a very special cricketer, when he retires he will be remembered as one of the best.

Starc should be bowling six inswinging Yorkers per over.

Bumrah looks solid as a lower order bat.
Akash looks like he needs to be reminded which end to hold when walking out.

Richie’s nine 5 wicket innings as captain, as a leg-spinner, is a little impressive.

Speaking of impressive, stop perfectly handling the short ball and get out, Bumrah!

And of course, he goes on to nail one through covers.

That’s it.
That’s the line and length we haven’t seen all day.

Honestly, I’d have given Smith a crack…

The only issue with enforcing the follow on, is Starc and Cummins will get zero rest. With Hazelwood our and Marsh not bowling. Those 2 are going to have to do the brunt of the work, especially early. Last thing you want is to overwork them and they get an injury

13 runs
12

Follow on is the only way we get a result.
I’m sorry it sucks for the bowlers.

oh for sure. Enforcing the follow on is the right decision, but it also comes with a bit of risk

Apart from Labu, does anyone else in the lineup bowl mediums?

James Randi was rather good at knocking them over, but sadly unavailable.
