Banter 2020-2021 Offseason offtopic chat thread

[catempire]

As the topic heading suggests.

We will keep this on the main board for summer.

Usual BF rules apply and try not to take it too seriously. It’s meant to be a bit of fun.

 

[cats_09]

fu**....

The weather forecast for tomorrow has been revised to 44c (both Geelong & Melbourne)

It will be Melbourne's hottest December day on record and the hottest day in Melbourne since Black Saturday

Take care tomorrow everyone

 

[winty]

Should be fun getting home from work tomorrow night then.

 

[Shell]

TAXI Taxi Taxi TAXI ALL THE FKING WAY

 

[Shell]

This is fking bullshit

 

[winty]

Cool change not expected to hit Melbourne until 11pm tomorrow night as well.

 

[Shell]

Ah that doesn't worry me my air con will be on all night

 

[cats_09]

I have no air con

Going to work out dinner delivery option as not sure I really want to cook in that sort of heat

 

[Hamingja]

Lovely 20 degrees in Hobart, not a cloud in the sky and a nice gentle breeze to walk home from work in

 

[Shell]

Go away

 

[Hamingja]

Could the woman that won the darts be anymore English.

Avoid anything that if in the heat will give you food poisoning ie. Chicken

 

[Shell]

You never know how long itnjust sits there until its picked up. Id assume red meat is safer

 

[cats_09]

I may attempt to drive my black car (that will be hot) to get fish & chips

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Proud Geelong boy tonight.
Good to see such a poor crowd tonight. So many rejecting the hit n giggle farce format #T20isshit

 

[GeelongFTW]

Alex Hales doing more in this innings that he did in his entire season for the Hobart Hurricanes.

My life honestly.

 

[GeelongFTW]

Jinxed him

Wait until January - we'll get a better crowd that night

It way against them getting a decent crowd tonight:
- first home game for Renegades & that really should have been at Marvel
- Vline train strike which would have made transport to the game more of a nightmare than normal and most likely kept a good portion of those considering coming from doing so

Please jinx the rest of the team...

Can't dislike this enough.
Please people. Stay away from this abomination.

Absolutely despise T20.

Just wait until both World T20 tournaments are played in Aus over the next 11 months - it's popularity will continue to grow

I enjoy watching the battle of a test match but I also understand the appeal off T20, especially for those with younger kids where an ODI or test match is just too long to keep their interest

The other really good thing about T20 is it's popularity with the younger generation - kids wanting to watch it & play it

Not sure how that can be a bad thing

We've (canes) haven't the best of luck with the internationals.

Hale's and Tymal mill =trash

OH Shaw and Malik were somewhat disappointing but will give them a pass for some good games.

Can't even remember any others tbh.

Having said that Rava Naved back in the early days was pretty good. And of course ol m8 big Jofra Archer.

 

[GeelongFTW]

cats_09 my epic meltdown back in Jan 2018.


"
Bloody hell Mills you absolute potato- all you had to do was not bowl god-awful trash yet you return totally frugal figures of 2/54!

Ill tell you what- if we miss out a semi-final because of this, I'm heading down there to personally escort his sorry ass back to England...

Sangakkara was awful. Probably the worst even except he gets a free ride because he is a legend.

Miller should be a good get this year. Not convinced on the Afghan spinner.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Probably won’t be on much over the festive season.

so just wanna wish everyone a “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”!
Stay safe.
