Official Match Thread S32 Round 9 - Sin City Swamprats vs Dragons FFC at Underground Stadium

[philreich]

Whatever happened to Sparkle? One of my all-time favourite Rats.

Haven't heard from him for a while - SarahSmiles has contact with him occasionally. Hopefully he'll be back soon.

Yeah Sparkle is doing well, unfortunately he cannot come back on BigFooty for a while serial_thrilla due to his work. I'll let him know you said hi

Gotta love these do gooders at the MCC, who have decreed that terms such as "batsman" and "third man" have no place in the modern game. I'm curious about the new term for third man - maybe "really, really deep slip"?

I’m confused, if I’m watching a men’s cricket match can I not use those terms?

Apparently it's still sexist, and it's no longer man of the match - it's now hero of the match.

Lmao get ****ed, I am not calling it that

Mate I'm with ya - it's been man of the match since Mobbs was a teenager: why the sudden change?

You need to go higher off the shelf.

Try Nikka, even the cheaper bottles of it are very good.

Well there goes any value the word hero had left.

Player of the match would make more sense from a gender-neutral standpoint. I don’t see why I can’t use terms based on who I’m watching though?
In the Olympics is it the WR for fastest PERSON in the world over X distance? Because that’s not accurate if it’s the women’s event.

Passed out from the Underground piss up we had!

Must have been one hell of piss up -'he hasn't been seen since April!!

I assume terms like night watchman and team management will now become night watchperson and team personagepersont.

Best thing I've seen this thread

sorry philreich

 

[Blaze Storm]

Bonz, I've been a bit bored in lockdown, so I got out of bed and took my dog for a walk through the cemetery.
On the way I passed another guy, and he said "morning".

"No" I said "I'm just walking the dog".

Lmao

The Green Fairy continues to be my favourite.

I didn't think "third man" or MOTM was altered. I've got no problem with batsmen/batter changing - most kids just say batter nowadays anyway.

Fielding position names aren't in the rule book, so I think that'll just evolve naturally. They just call it "third" in the women's matches, and with names like "silly mid off" I can't see it being any silllier.

Hero of the match sounds like BBL spin. Player of the Match is the common sense destination.

Thanks for the premiership points.

Half price beers at the Underground Stadium bar to celebrate.

I'm tipping Ant Bear will be the "Hero of the match" on Sunday.

I’m on the other ant. It’s ant555 time!

 

[Marklar_33]

Could a Swamprat please explain to me how you thought Marklar_33 for MannumPower was a good trade?

Must’ve been too many posters

 

[Marklar_33]

We wanted the deal done. Marklar_33 wanted to come. So, he came. Simple, really.

Wait, what are we talking about again?

Well Ticky009 certainly won't be the MAN of the match.........

Literally nothing

 

[Marklar_33]

Ah, my posting. That’s right
