2017/18 Summer of Cricket

Hey, both my parents are British.

Oh, that explains a lot...

So surely you must have a soft spot for the poms then?

Hahahaha... good one!

I do in soccer, but that's about it.

I do love British comedy though, if that counts,

Haha it's not a bandwagon thing, it's more cos we're such a non-entity in soccer that the Poms don't even feel like our rivals. Underachievers that they are, they're still in a completely different league to us. Plus the EPL is the only Pommy sports league I actually follow.

I'd still barrack hard for the Aussies if we ever drew them in the WC though.

 

[Righteo]

And after that massive delay we lose a wicket almost immediately upon resumption. Because obviously.

What an anticlimax... thought I was going to get to watch my first full day of cricket for the summer and now this. There was barely any rain showing on the radar yet somehow every drop of it is managing to go right over the oval.

Should give us the 2nd test before it gets too hot anyway.

I was up in brisbane for day 1 and the same thing happened a kilometre up the road was fine yet the only place in Brisbane it rained for 2 hours was the gabba

Like they always say... you gotta love the irony of the English, of all people, inventing a sport where rain stops play.

Whens the last time it rained at a WACA game.

I know I have been insulated from news and I find sports media to be more and more useless... but why the angst between Smith and the Poms?

They're all insulted that he laughed while Bancroft was telling the story about the headbutt. Apparently they twisted that into him disrespcting them somehow.

So ridiculous then. Sounds like they are searching for a reason to fire up. You would think it being the ashes would be enough.

 

[Nodgey]

Root choosing to bowl first here was a massive gamble. And at stumps day 1 doesn’t look too flash.

It’s a decision that could well lose the Ashes. It wasn’t gonna win the ashes, but it could very well lose them.

Disappointed none of the batsmen went on. All made good starts.

 

[Nodgey]

Agree. Though still a chance Marsh or Handscome can be that player

 

[Nodgey]

Wow. Shaun Marsh just won lotto.

 

[fnerd]

Hahaha EAD jimmy ..another life for SOS!! Eastern states media can EAD too

 

[fnerd]

Hahaha and again!!!....so good!

 

[Purpletown]

Ashes on the line for England in their first innings tonight (or first session tomorrow if Aussies can bat on) It's time for Australia to ramp up the run rate now as a quick 50 to 75 runs now will stretch England to their maximum to stay in the game.

England will be thrown in to bat at twilight. Time for the Aussie's to start swinging.

 

[Kram]

All the Marsh bashers seem to have gone quiet. Paine pretty good as well.

 

[nurries]

After the first over today I didn’t think we would get 280
