Off-topic The Bay 13 Cricket thread - On the Windies bandwagon with Plugger. F*** India

[Kram]

South Africa have Sri Lanka firmly by the gangulys at the moment.

 

[Chaisa]

Biggest ****wit type appeal there in the history of cricket.

It's Tahir, what did you expect?

 

[western royboy]

And to the crease comes Angelo Mathews, the guy with the least Sri Lankan sounding name since Russell Arnold.



I hope the dumb campaigner pulls a hammy charging to the fence next time.

There forerunner was Graeme Labrooy and before him Roy Dias.

 

[Chaisa]

Sri Lanka's current position will only make the inevitable choke funnier.

"Grahemy Labrooy? His name's Graeme Max you dickhead"

"Yes, well. All his team mates have such long and complicated names. Seems a shame for this young man to miss out. I think I'll just go on calling him Grahemy."

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

4 for...

Didn't even know that 'Gray-ee-mee' was a real cricketer, thought he was just a 12th Man invention.

Jeez you're ****ed in the head sometimes, Max.

Bloody hell......these clowns are going to leave my man Sangakara stranded

Bloody hell......these clowns are going to leave my man Sangakara stranded

On 40 off 100 balls. When one guy holds up an end in a limited overs game of course wickets will fall up the other end. He's batted poorly today.

 

[Starburns_]

Didn't take long for Steve Finn to lose the worst hattrick in history.

 

[richoatthedisco]

The blokes had one fail all tournament and you're all over him........no wonder Finchy reckons you're a shit bloke

The same Finch who proves me right every time he bats by edging to slip and driving in the air?

He's seriously plodding today though, knockout game, big stage, makes earlier deeds irrelevant.

This. Specialises in scoring off part-timers in the middle overs. Couldn't get bat on Starc but plundered Watson, Maxwell and Doherty.

Bloody hell......these clowns are going to leave my man Sangakara stranded

The Great Man has scored 34 runs off 88 balls, out of 113 off 205 while he's been at the crease. He has done nothing to change the state of the game.

He's also keeping his wicket.........blaming him for someone else not stepping up is very unfair given his record.
My man Sangakara.......the undismissable!

Are you watching? Jayawardene and Mathews went trying to up the scoring rate. Sanga was 5 off 38 when the field was up and since has pushed singles to the deep.

Chill your jets....you don't have a monopoly of opinions in this thread flog!
Sth Africa haven't batted yet..

You're the one who needs to chill. I am merely stating my opinion and you are taking it personally.

Plus, I'm only shit-stirring.

Thirimanne stepped up, but Sangakarra couldn't even rotate the strike properly to help take the pressure off him. Both Jayawardne and Matthews got out trying to play shots to lift the rate, even though they weren't the 'set' batsman in their partnership.

When you're as good as Sangakarra, I don't care what the state of the game is, a strike rate of below 50 is pathetic, and more than a little bit selfish.

The point is him going uber-defensive hurt Sri Lanka's scoring rate and forced them to take too many risks.

 

[van peebles]

There's a shop in Pakistan where we can buy effigies.
We should pool our money and get a sanga effigy and burn it for the masses on B13.

 

[Plugger35]

The rest of their batsmen were just too shit to stay out there so Sangakkara had to try and play defensively to bat out the 50 overs and give them a semi competitive total.

Even England would've put up a better effort than this.

His record is impeccable....even champs have off days, only those who have little understanding of the game would lump that batting demise at Sangakaras feet
Scratchy innings no doubt, but to infer it was selfish......uh uh!
Much rather see him work through it than just throw his wicket away.

At 2-4 I think putting a bit of value on his wicket isn't too much to ask

 

[Yidaki]

Did Sri Lanka really get bowled out for 133?

When Tiramanne got out, he had to be the one to escalate, by that point he'd faced at least 30 balls. Instead he left it to the two new batsman to try and get the scoreboard ticking over, that's how new batsmen get out. You can't park yourself up one end in a limited overs match and leave all the work to the other guys, it's not a test match.

Had he gone after them then he probably would've still got more than he finished with, and he might have even found some touch out there that took him to a higher score. Instead he let f***ing JP Duminy dictate to him, the guy doesn't even turn the ball, he should've been bullying the pie chucker.

If you're going to defend Sangakarra's efforts today, I bet you loved what Paul Collingwood did in the Adelaide test years ago?
