Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III - Shield Final WA v Tas

[shinboner magic]

Bloody nerds was triggered there before the kiwis even appealed

 

[gokangas]

Geez this is tight.

 

[gokangas]

What a sensational fight back. Hats off to Marsh and particularly Carey - stiff 98no. Cummins handy knock too.

 

[the big lebowski]

Good win

Carey deserved the 100

 

[hellas_johnny]

Wow what a win. Especially after losing a wicket 2nd over of the day

 

[Sillygit]

Pat, just block/leave one delivery, he's on 98*...

 

[gustaaf]

Amazing win. That dropped dolly of a catch of Marsh hurt the Kiwis badly. After the loss of Head early today we would have been very long odds to pull the win off. Carey hasn't been reliable, but he came through for us today. Cummins once again proving that he needs to bat above Starc. He has won a few tests with the bat now.

The last three times Australia has successfully chased 250+ in the fourth innings to win a test:

Today: 7/279 (Pat Cummins 32*)
Edgbaston 2023: 8/282 (Pat Cummins 44*)
Wanderers 2011: 8/310 (Pat Cummins 13*)

Go woke, win f**king literally everything

 

[Lomas]

What a fantastic summer of test cricket.

 

[spurs]

Again, Southee is a dud. If they had Boult and not him they might have won this test.

He deadset just said he didn’t know he was on 98

 

[The acurate one]

What a fantastic summer of test cricket.

Yes it was and so unexpected, full credit to all teams, and I for one are happy those 500 plus scores are gone. Hopefully forever, any Test against anyone and the score read 4/350 plus and I'll turn off.

Batsmen have had it on their terms for far too long.

And with the final round of shield starting this morning, Boland has 3/32 so far.

What did Bancroft make?

 

[Flawed Genius]

What did Bancroft make?

Bowled by Boland for 16

 

[SpiderBurton22]

This seems eerily similar to Ben Stokes and Bazball.

Is it on kayo or something like that?

Yes I know it's stumps for day 1.

'Nothing but a horses-for-courses strategy': Why England had to turn to Bazball because of its player pool

Bazball was developed as a strategy devised to use the resources efficiently rather than revolutionize the system.

I disagree with this. The Kiwis have been all about spirit of cricket for much longer than Bazball. And I don't think this response carries any of the same salty tears of England's moral victories.

I feel like NZ have had the "nice guys of cricket" moniker for a while, but that it was never placed at odds with winning like "we're not defined by outcomes" seems to suggest. So not as bad as bazball, but still going towards cop-out territory.

Correct, unlike CCS's post suggests I dont equate the Kiwi's response as salty tears of a losing team but the language used is very much a cop out and designed to deflect a poor showing.

Especially because they absolutely should have won the second test
