The memes out this Ashes have been particularly fine.

These guys worked fast. Posted about two hours after Manchester was officially abandoned.

Steve Smith out of the T20 tour to SA.
Good to see Ashton Turner replace him.

Smith and Starc also out of the ODI squad.
Lab and Spencer Johnson in.

There's a pretty meaningless T20 on tonight and an ODI WC on in a little over a month that I honestly couldn't care less about but, whatever.

I'm interested, mainly to see how the West Aussies go but it's so late.

The Sunday game starts at a reasonable time.

Keen for Sunday.

The more we can move to more a specialist T20I side the better, I think.

Keen to see how some of these guys go over there.

Alex Carey Jonny Bairstow stumping: Inside Lord’s lunch room during Ashes drama​

Australia’s players have lifted the lid on the tense aftermath of Alex Carey’s controversial Ashes stumping of Jonny Bairstow.
In an interview with The Grade Cricketer, Mitch Marsh, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith described the tense — and at times hilarious — scenes in the Lord’s lunch room after Carey threw down the stumps when Bairstow left his crease.

Labuschagne said Bairstow was “absolutely steaming” and eventually asked the Australians: “are you guys happy with that?”

David Warner’s reply was “yeah, very”, which hardly did anything to lighten the mood.

It also didn’t help that UK broadcaster Sky Sports continued to show the controversial incident on loop so it was beamed into the lunch room for players to watch.

“The Sky crew knew that Jonny was in there and they just replayed it on the screen. And as you do, everyone’s watching,” Labuschagne said.

“Obviously seeing us all watch, he’s like ‘are you guys happy with that?’

“Dave Warner’s spitting out his chicken and goes, ‘yeah, very’. The only word said.”

Khawaja picks up the story: “All of them had food in front of them, except Jonny Bairstow. I was thinking that’s a little bit off,” he said.

All-rounder Mitch Marsh said he struggled to contain himself.

“Remember at school when the teacher tells you off and and you shouldn’t be laughing? Well, I was trying to eat my soup,” Marsh said.

“So if you can imagine, I’m eating my soup and I’m shaking like this and I’m like just trying to look down and then I look up at Jonny and I had pumpkin soup coming down my whites.”

Marsh said he was convinced at least “a few” English players were laughing as the drama unfolded.

Khawaja added: “I walked out with a couple of the English boys and they were giggling. He still hasn’t eaten anything. He sat the whole time. I finished up and left and Jonny hadn’t touched anything.

The stumping off pace bowler Cameron Green helped Australia seal a fifth-day victory at Lord’s and take a 2-0 lead in the Ashes.

The incident was fiercely-debated around the world but Carey later said he would stump Bairstow again if given the opportunity.

Carey later said: “We got some pretty instant feedback. It‘s one of those things where a stumping that’s given out on field is turned into a massive story. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion and absolutely respect that. And then everyone’s entitled to their opinion on the spirit of cricket as well.”

Even funnier listening to him tell the story

God no.

It’s sleep time

However this was pleasant to wake up too



What a start in South Africa

Bison (92no), Tanveer (4-31) and Stoin (3-18) lead the way in a dominant victory.

The T20 side actually looks like a T20 side instead of the test side feat. Stoinis.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Tanveer needs regular games ASAP, I think he's quality.

Good knock from David too.

 

[darksquare]

Australia A knocked off by NZ A, even though we skittled them in the first innings. Our batting cupboard is bare.

 

[Kapowie1]

Bison is the best

Two-nil with one to play

Bison (79no), Shorty (66) and Sabba (3-22) the pick of the bunch tonight

Has anyone seen the intro video to the T20 SA vs Aus games? It contains some laughably bad graphics with the players looking like they’ve walked out of a PS1 game - it’s so bad that I wonder if it’s a joke?

Love seeing the Bison do well. So much talent.

Hoping he retains a spot in the test side as catching up with Geoff, Michelle and Shaun for new years eve (old mate's 65th birthday so should be a big night with some real characters) Mitch should be able to make it back to Perth either way but i'm hoping for at least a semi spicy pitch at the MCG instead of a road for once so the test is done by the end of the 4th day.

At least this Sunday's game is on at a reasonable time (8.pm) as well.

Ellis was also excellent.

 

[Ochre]

Ellis was also excellent.

Ellis should've be a regular in both short form games for the past few years.

 

[Ochre]

Would be nice to say Brevis make a few in the last game. SA need him desperately.

More like Briefis, am I right?

Have watched him in the IPL, huge talent that kid.
