Cricket Discussion - Part 1

[LFC2010]

Chadd Sayers misses out for Jackson frigging Bird. What a joke. Not tall enough, not fast enough etc ect. Bird is tall enough and fast enough but chucking pies doesn't get wickets.

seriously f*** CA!!!, and so can the SMA for that matter.

both as bad as each other!!!!

Another question: the next Test in Brisbane is also a day nighter. Assuming Lyon struggles in Adelaide (I hope he does well by the way - my respect for South Africa has taken a massive hit this week!!!), do the selectors continue to show faith in him? Pakistan is known to struggle against quality fast bowling on a helpful pitch, so why the hell wouldn't we go with the 4 quicks???

Faf in presser is disappointed all the shine been taken away by the ball incident

Shine lol

 

[LFC2010]

Looks like a sanfl finals type crowd at the oval today. I hope it hits the sma where it does the most.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Any boos towards Bird when first introduced into the attack?

 

[LFC2010]

I really hope faf blast a century here. Unlikely given the conditions, but wouldn't it be great for the melts (edit - mints)

 

[philreich]

Which is more likely: Brisbane Lions to win the 2017 premiership, or Steve Smith to win a toss? Apparently he hasn't won one since February

Geez Amla has had a dirty tour. Another single digit score.

 

[raptalia]

Six changes to the Ausssie team.

Good to see Chad Sayers get the call up, hopefully he plays on his home wicket but the selectors have a thing for Bird so I am not counting on it.

What a great call to leave Sayers out His replacement is bowling the opposition into a very sound position. Hopefully Sayers takes a 7 for at the MCG tomorrow, to REALLY rub the selectors' noses in it!!!

 

[LFC2010]

LOL Steve Smith the cocky c***!

I hope australia lose 5 for FA in the night session

 

[philreich]

Getting very nervous about this. It looks as if Australia will be batting just in time for the evening session: if we get to stumps without losing a wicket, I make a pledge to listen to the entire 5AA sports show tomorrow. Somehow I reckon I'm safe

 

[LFC2010]

Just get on with it Wade ya cry baby!

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Just get on with it Wade ya cry baby!

Not sure what he was carrying on about. What did he want Faf to do? Run in front of him?

 

[ozph1870]

It's t20 test cricket, give me a traditional Adelaide test any day..

 

[Greasyrhys]

Boooooooo

Faf sure loves RAdelaide...

 

[LFC2010]

Well played faf!

 

[LFC2010]

Starc is a meat head sometimes, just bowl a full one at him.

 

[LFC2010]

hahahahaha... this is amateurish stuff now.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Warner won't be opening the batting as he had been off the field for too long, time for him to forget about bloody OLED's

 

[philreich]

Faf finished with the second top score in pink ball Tests. Top score will be tough to beat - Azhar Ali's 302 not out against the West Indies.

 

[LFC2010]

IN before tomorrow's headlines will be "Faf's declaration is bad sportsmanship"

 

[philreich]

Well ain't that a refreshing change. I'd rather be 0 for 14 off 12 than 3 for 50 off 10.

 

[raptalia]

LOL Steve Smith the cocky c***!

I hope australia lose 5 for FA in the night session

Please spare us your anti Australian crap it is becoming tiresome! There is plenty to criticise atm but have a bit of respect.

Not sure why you carry such a huge torch for Faf du Plessis? This is his second ball tampering offence. He was fined half a match payment in 2013 for scuffing the ball against Pakistan. Neither he or South Africa challenged that decision and one could argue that a second offence should have bought suspension. His team mate Vernon Philander has also been cited twice and fined once for tampering with the ball. The South Africans are not in a position to take the moral high ground on the issue.
