Cricket 2016/17

Wow that was one of the worst review decisions I've ever seen.

No hotspot, a small dull snicko 'spike' instead of the thin high spike usually seen with a nick... and the spike only showed up when the ball was an inch past the bat already!

I can't believe he overturned the umps decision based on that. Pakistan have a right to be annoyed.

To be fair, Smiths one yesterday was nearly identical.

Yeah so I hear. Didn't see yesterday's.

Cricket commentary is so much better for the absence of James Brayshaw.

Also the BBL commentary team is the best especially Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist.

BBL is just all 'round good fun tbh

 

[DMan 11]

Whaaaat ? Klinger out !!!
His foot surely touched the rope then, why else would reardon act like that ...

 

[DMan 11]

Actually, just saw the slo mo - he was out

 

[DMan 11]

I'm O/S and missed the game against the stars - but how long do we persist with Shaun marsh for as an opener in BBL ???
The guy has scored double figures once this season ( from memory it was 11) , is a ball burner of the highest order and so out of touch it's like he has more photo's of JL's daughter in even more compromising positions....

Maybe because he's been about our best bat for the last 4 tournaments?

Sometimes you just have to stick with quality players and just hope they turn it around.

edit - at least yesterday he wasn't stupid enough to get out to Beer's innocuous bowling like the others.

 

[estibador]

Beer's first spell was pretty good to be fair.

 

[Steinfreo]

good to know. the bbl bashes and crashes are largely shit at proper cricket

 

[stax on the mull]

True to form the Test Squad to India was announced earlier today after Hackdorn was convinced on Saturday morning that it would be delayed until Monday.

I've seen him hit some batshit crazy shots before for the stars, so I'll go with... maybe?

 

[Kram]

My god this game has been boring.

 

[estibador]

What a fantastic piece of work by Turner on the boundary.

T20 has taken fielding in cricket to another level.

I was worried for a bit the 3rd um was gonna do something stupid and overturn it.

 

[DMan 11]

Boring game thanks to scorchers bowling/fielding dominance.
On the bright side, smarsh has zero pressure to come out n finally make some runs

 

[Kram]

S.Marsh just got us a final at home, the bastard.

hes definitely ready to take on the Indians in a test match.

 

[BStaff17]

What a start.

Would be great to see the stars lose again in the semis make it 6 years in a row.

 

[DMan 11]

What an over !!!

 

[Kram]

They are still a chance of a big score whilst KP is out there.
