The Cricket Thread (part 9) - from Dec 2024

Was this his finest moment? Jo’Burg against Pakistan was unreal, but he peaked here imo.

Harbajhan and Roy actually became friends in the end.

Is he currently the 2nd spinner?

David Warner back using the GN Kaboom. Has to be one of the most iconic associations with a brand/make of bat. Probably Punter and the Kookaburra Kahuna, Mark Waugh and Slazenger just top it…

I’d add Viv and the SS Jumbo.

With Wimm day drinking and deciding to venture outside of the Politics thread, you should learn to expect anything.

It’s only hit and giggle but Konstas looks in good touch.

I was at the G that day in the Southern Stand - magnificent innings and great memories. The crowd was big and very very appreciative. They knew it was a special
Innings. RIP Roy

MCG home deck. I’d pick him as 12th man

Lawry’s man Konstas!

50 on debut and the fastest 50 in Thunder history to boot!

Off 20 balls as well.

Would love to see him open with a baggy green at the MCG

Maybe so but it’s not quite as prestigious as donning the Thunder lime green and black snapback cap at Manuka Oval.

Looked plumb

That’s a shame, was hoping he would go on with it. Well bowled, Fabian.

I was a little ■■■■■■ that i found myself Googling the accident, but extensive skid marks are not conducive with someone intent on ending their own life. There is no way he would have taken his dogs either. He loved those dogs, and they him.

You’re right, people shouldn’t be throwing out speculative ■■■■ like this. It made me feel a little bit sad. I do love Roy.

May he rest in peace.

This is an incredible ending. Daniel Sams making mince meat of poor Lloyd Pope. 27 off the over and one ball to go!

31 off the second last over LOL!!

They were cooked and now all of a sudden they only need 3 off the last over to win.

Stunning.

I would too.
But with Boland to come back in and Marsh quite possibly swapped out for Webster(?) … three changes at once would be stretching it for these Selectors.

Sorta think Uzzy might put a score together in Melbourne … he’s dead keen to play a final Ashes.

Sams was outstanding at the death, Pope shattered.
