Cricket Discussion - Part 3

[RussellEbertHandball]

That's hardly obvious. And I haven't seen any reference in reporting on the incident to anything other than losing the ball in the lights.

Read the Indian cricket supporters comments on twitter and you will see they are just bagging Pakistan and they are to blame for this. I saw Rachin Ravindra trending on X and clicked on this link and read a whole lot of similar comments. They just don't like each other as nations, especially since Modi government has been in power with his pro Hindu and anti- Muslim policies.

At least they've moved on from wanting Sam Konstas maimed or worse.

Meanwhile last night's India-England ODI was delayed for a while when one of the light towers failed.

Vics beaten outright today, so SA is clear top of the Shield table with 3 games to play. They'd better start preparing Karen Rolton now - IT'S COMING HOME!!

Next game is in Adelaide against Tassie, starting next Tuesday. Win that, and it'll take a miracle to knock us off top spot.

Who'd have thought SA would be top of the shield table this far into the season.

Nothing can stop us now.

Nothing can stop us now.

The players would be taking solace in the fact that their coach isn't Ken Hinkley, so going into a final with that knowledge should give them confidence .

Kuhnemann reported for a suspect action.

Kuhnemann reported for a suspect action.

I did think the last movement in his action looked a little bit 'suss', but nothing like some other greats of the game.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Kuhnemann reported for a suspect action.

Either the authorities have been slow to pick this up, he's been playing for years, or he has made a significant change to his action.

 

[philreich]

Is he worse than Bumrah?

SL 4/38...take it easy Australia, I want to see you bat for a bit when I get home!

PLEASE END THE FRASER-MCGURK EXPERIMENT

This Connolly dude seems cut from the same cloth too, and Konstas can't seem to help himself either with all the ramp shots. Blame the T20 circus.

Not that long ago the Redbacks lost two Shield Finals in a row. They do not need Ken's guidance to bomb out in the game that counts.

Hopefully the Redbacks make the Final but I will reserve judgement.

So, the first slap and bash game is over with Sri Lanka victorious. The first three Australians managed just five runs between them. Not to worry as there is an endless supply of BBL bash artists itching for a crack at it- Next!

 

[Sunshine81]

Wow! SA top of the one day table as well. WA have nose dived for a state with a tonne of talent.

 

[Sunshine81]

Mahli Beardman looks a talent. 19 yo bowling over 140, beat a few SACAs for pace with his wickets.

He needs to grow a beard.

 

[philreich]

I won't buy a paper until Hinkley becomes a premiership coach, so I'm going on hearsay here. But one of the guys at work just said that there's an article about Sri Lankan batsmen complaining about Kuhnemann - presumably about his bowling action. Bit rich coming from them, after Murali!!!!!!!

 

[raptalia]

It is about time Channel Bloody Seven woke up to themselves. Here I am sitting down to watch an enthralling evening of ads and they go and ruin it all by interrupting it with cricket. I was just getting into Peter Dutton's past life as a police officer and next thing I have a bunch of cricketers all over the screen.

 

[raptalia]

Thrashed!

Reverse ramps, sixes, bowled: Wild Shield start

After 13 deliveries in the Sheffield Shield match between NSW and Victoria, Sam Konstas and Nic Maddinson hit 30 runs before Konstas was bowled
