Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

[Samsquanch]

Sitting in the tea room looking at the dejected faces of Indian co-workers as they watch the cricket in their lunch break.

Also how they **** has tom Morris got a job in cricket now

I can imagine, having worked in a predominantly indian workplace during the world cup. Excited anticipation can melt into melancholy in a very short time!

Yeah they treat their cricketers like gods - you can’t say a bad word about them

 

[Sillygit]

the silence at adelaide oval when an opposition team hits a boundary is genuinely impressive

 

[The Brady Bunch]

I reckon each test side should be forced to pick one player under 21 - love the energy

Is this the first test ever in which an Australian men's team has had not a single player aged in his 20s?

Strikers are going nowhere fast with their obsession about SA based talent.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Hurricanes are the only team in the league that I would be confident could find a way to lose it from here.

As a strikers fan I am so frustrated. We have limited batting depth.

Don't need batting depth when you play a team like the 'canes who like to give up runs for free.

We need it now! Apparently you only need 3 batters and 8 bowlers.

Pom's have next level voices when it comes to a good whinge.

Ha, yeh well you should endure the cheering for Hamilton, Norris and Russell on Sky Sports Formula 1 coverage

Do you expect that to improve when the DAZN takeover takes over?

Doesn’t bother me tbh

 

[Sillygit]

carey, come on...

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Scotty again!

Crazy shot by Pant to get out...

But Boland really has been fantastic this morning. Has looked stuffed since 11:00, but got at least an extra 2 overs out of himself... which may have been the difference between a wicket or not.

[krakouers]

Realistically, how many could retire from this team by the end of next years ashes?

Starc
Khawaja
Lyon
Smith
Hazelwood (? - if he keeps having injuries)
Boland?

The other thought is, who comes in to replace who? Spinner and opener could be an issue

Khawaja, Hazelwood, Lyon won't be there you'd think Krak's. Sri Lanka tour looms large.

Be greater minds than mine picking the team Krak's.
Getting nervous here now. They're going to pass the follow-on. Can see them getting the draw late Monday with 5 or 6 down

 

[kangatragic]

78 overs bowled and Mitch Marsh only bowled 3. Why is he in the side then as he isn't performing with the bat

 

[DuckYeah]

We struggle to bowl out the tail. Its been an issue for some time. I think this falls on the Captaincy decisions. These pricks should be in the shed
