Sport The Cricket Thread

Apparently it's meant to be a pretty dry summer over there (if that is even possible) which would help the aussies imo. Hope they don't prepare dry/flat pitches but they probably will to save face. It's one of the rare times I support the aussies in cricket! woo hoo. Hope smith has a massive serious to shut up broad/england/swann etc. For them to come out and say they don't rate him might actually indicate that they could be nervous about bowling to him (in a weird way). Once again the bowling on lyon will come under scrutiny after his performance in the recent practice match, they will surely target him as he is probably the weakest link in the australian bowling attack, even though he a solid finger spinner. Pretty pumped about this series, really excited to see broad batting like a bitch/coward and backing away 9/10 times

Was a bit like that. Good to have it started. Loved Hazelwood's wicket

 

[Punts]

Belly now gone , loving it

 

[Punts]

[Millky95]

Dropped the Ashes Punts ?

How long have I been saying that, he's nearly as over rated as Watson

I actually agree...one of the most luckiest batsmen I've seen in recent years.

 

[Punts]

Hadden congrats on making roots century fir him

 

[Punts]

ffs

 

[Millky95]

Bloody Watto. Told you he doesn't fill me with confidence.

Where is Mitchell Marsh? Is he still scoring hundreds against Kent?

This batting line up isn't great away from their home deck... South Africa doesn't count as the conditions tend to be more like ours

We gave them 3 easy wickets after getting starts with Clarke, Voges and Smith

 

[Punts]

Maybe hadden should learn to catch , doesn't change the fact we are batting s**t I guess

Haddin won't be playing the Australian summer or at very least this summer will be his last

 

[Millky95]

Geez I hope we bowl well tonight

 

[Punts]

Move on to the 2nd test , getting our pants pulled down

Yeah we lost it with the bat. Pitch offering nothing except to Lyon. Can't see us taking wickets but can't see us batting a draw either

Is 412 to much to chase?

 

[Millky95]

Is 412 to much to chase?

Time wise no. We have more than enough time to get those runs. We need a tick over 2 an over to do it. Just need to not be wasteful and gift wickets away

 

[Millky95]

Dammit. Needed Warner in after lunch

 

[Punts]

This is crap

 

[Mister B]

This is crap

Didn't even bother flicking over last night. They didn't even look like being capable of winning that test match from the moment Haddin dropped Root.

 

[RW]

This England side isn't even that good. Moeen Ali 3 wickets FFS.

 

[Millky95]

We were just sloppy in all areas. Can't have Johnson and Starc in the same line-up. Marsh in for Watson (either Marsh to be honest) and Siddle for Starc
