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

[Cuzz09]

that Joel Paris looks a bit like a skinny version of this guy

 

[Shifty1]

Another nice take from Allen

Allen with another ripper

 

[Cuzz09]

A much needed win for the Scorchies tonight.

Staying in touch

 

[Shifty1]

Massive improvement to NRR too

 

[Balls In]

Allen with another ripper

That first one was a pivotal moment in the game. Absolute clutch.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Not anything like that pitch though. Everyone looked like they were playing stick cricket that night

Turners looked like hes batting on a different pitch to everyone else tonight. Hardie got some absolute pies and put them away. Everyone else has struggled

Easiest MOM of all time

Noone other Turner scored higher than 33

 

[THE A5]

Good win lads.

 

[Woutizmoo]

Good get this season going before I take my kids to some upcoming games

 

[Carbine Chaos]

This bowling attack has no sting to it. Without Richo or Morris, it's very vanilla.

Can't agree with that based on Beardman's performance tonight, kid isn't vanilla in the slightest.

 

[KBLT]

Can't agree with that based on Beardman's performance tonight, kid isn't vanilla in the slightest.

If he can stay fit, he'll be a very dangerous quick.

 

[THE A5]

Very late observation but these modern helmets looks atrocious. Look like hard hats. These seems to be the norm and the cloth helmets of old seem to be on the out

He's gonna have a great future no doubt, but that attack as a whole is vanilla, regardless of how they bowled tonight. If we're gonna have a shot at winning this thing, it will come down to our batting.

 

[KBLT]

The amount of times these commentators said Constance lmao

There's no second n in Konstas ya morons.

 

[RookiePick]

Never in doubt

Agree, super distracting.

They are probably lighter, comfier, safer than the old Albion ones so can't really complain.

A more matte finish would do wonders however

Baseball style glossy

The Aussie ones aren’t too bad but I agree even that needs bit of a matte finish.

 

[THE A5]

Turner was so close to breaking a 4 year century drought and would have been the 5th Scorcher to do so. 7 years was the longest Century drought for Perth

 

[Natho]

Almost an ashTON.

 

[Natho]

Great win. Beardman bowled beautifully.

 

[squashface]

Almost an ashTON.

AshTON denied by Ashton

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Perhaps more guys should retire like Damien Martyn...retire out of nowhere a day after a test, never to be seen or heard from again.

New record for biggest Dazzler'd ever?

Doesnt sound good. Meningitis is deadly, really hope he pulls through.
