Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread - 2025/26 Ashes Edition

When's stumps, 3pm?

 

[Farang83150]

The cricket world will need to get their collective arms around poor old Melbourne when they only get 2 days of cricket!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Surely it's Tongue?

Imagine getting the same guy out two balls in a row for a hattrick.


Lol Atkinson? Lame.

 

[UseR2006]

Send out Boland!

They did!!

 

[TY24]

Build the statue already

 

[DorothyG]

Last two balls sums up England's tour to perfection.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Haha **** off back to England and learn to cricket. Their fielding has been terrible this series. How many chances have they grounded?

Not enough.

 

[KBLT]

Jonathan Merlo listed at 8 for the Stars, and didn't bowl.

In 17 T20s, he averages 6.5 with the bat, and has never taken a wicket.

Talk about a no-rounder.

 

[Tugga27]

Jeez

The Scorchers bowling line up was thin with Richo in it.
Think it's going to be a hard slog against Hobart.

You never hear anything from the club, but I assume Kelly has been injured.

He’ll age well with time

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

I’m over east for hols and forgot how bad it sucks for sport times. Scorchers first ball is 9:15pm? F*** that.

 

[KBLT]

Scorchies look no good this year sadly

 

[ioppolo]

Sam Harper scored 75.86% of the Stars runs tonight. That must put him highish on a list of highest percentage of runs from one player in T20s.

 

[Dazzler9]

If someone had said Australia would use 3 different opening combinations before the 5th Test and Khawaja wasn't in any of them despite missing only one game, you'd think they were nuts.

Marsh needs to bat lower

 

[Goroyals22]

I'm surprised he didn't blame Konstas........

 

[Balls In]

That was abysmal batting by Agar. What happened to him?

 

[RookiePick]

He's rubbish. Will get carted in our fielding innings too.

We are minimum 30 short here. Le sigh

 

[Ochre]

He had one good innings 12 years ago

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I never understand when guys don't run for a second on the last ball of a T20 innings like that.

 

[Ochre]

I never understand when guys don't run for a second on the last ball of a T20 innings like that.

They should keep running til they're run out.

 

[RookiePick]

They should keep running til they're run out.

Red ink is a hell of a drug

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Didn't we sign David Payne in the draft also?

 

[eaglevision]

Was one hell of an innings TBF.
