Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

[Twinkletoes]

We have played Ireland. Need to thrash Oman.

Yes of course (brain is fried by 4am) and it’s all moot anyway now after the Ireland v Zimbabwe washout.

Will Sutherland -

As rubbish as he (Green) has been, have you seen Sutherland's FC batting avg?

We should be playing you Hojuman

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Our side is full of domestic cricketers. Not sure I expected any different tbh.

It is a glimpse into our Test future. No Starc, Cummins and Hazelwood means no Australia.

Found these on my local Facebook page. Anyone have a pair of these back in the day? $10, shut up and take my money.

Hard to cut a hole for the big toe in those.

Young Scotty Boland doing ok in the Shield. 5/15 off 10 at the mo against the wests.

WA choking on their road of a wicket.

Sam Harper with 250 for the game for once out isn't going too bad either

Let's see how the kid develops. Might be a one game wonder.

The Zimbabweans have beaten Sri Lanka. Chased down 180 with ease.

Would it be worth putting a sneaky $20 on Oman or are the odds shortening too much to bother?

Can you put a pineapple on Shafiq Jan bowling a no-ball in his 3rd over with his 5th ball for me ?

I think someone here mentioned that they met "John" recently on a trip abroad. Isn't the preferred currency Kruger Rands or Rupees?

Same bloke who stopped in via the WACA on the way?

USD and Rupees are the preferred, apparently!

Same bloke. Yep. He's the only bloke I know who carries fists full of greenbacks too.

I always thought Krugerrands were some form of Gold. Some Souf African measurement for something. That you think/assumed it was cash means I now have to research! I hate it when you disagree... one of the only posters who would know too. ****.

...
First minted in 1967 by the South African Mint, the Krugerrand is the world's most widely held 22-karat gold bullion coin
. It contains exactly 1 oz of pure gold, with the remaining 8.33% alloyed with copper to increase durability. Featuring Paul Kruger (obverse) and a springbok (reverse), it is a highly liquid investment, trading based on the prevailing gold price

The reply was about which currency Hansie Cronje and John the bookie accepted.

Poor Hansie. Just trying to feed his family lol

And the Saffer's unbeaten run of 7 wins in the T20 world cup comes to a sad end, again, in a semi-final. Finn Allen with 100 of 33 balls, Kiwi's run down 169 in 12.5 overs.

Well done KiwiRoo

Thanks mate. Yeah on paper we have a very good side especially on the batting side of things, but been inconsistent.
But 33 balls for a hundred against a very good Saffa attack. Thats pretty special

Now we just have to wait and see if we play the soap dodgers or the Indians. Prefer the poms but we've gone ok against the Indians in the past too

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Yikes, is the T20 World Cup still going? Feels like it's lasting longer than a channel 9 reality show.

Oh that's right, they do that Super 8s thing instead of Quarter Finals. Such a waste of time.
