Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

[hellas_johnny]

It's clear that when Cummins starc hazelwood retire were ****ed. They go nuts over Johnson Bartlett etc for their bbl form but odi they're nowhere near it. Obvs with this tournament we're UnLucky that all 3 were injured at once but it's a massive worry when the only one capable in Richardson is injured all the time

the cliff is upon us.

But there were quite a few trophies before the cliff, and ODI's are clearly the least prioritised format of the game nowadays

Duckett made 165

England made 8/351

Australia are 2/86.

Australia need 266 runs from 37.4 overs.

Carey & Inglis have given us a sniff.

Can Maxwell rise to the occasion?

I can safely say after watching the entire first innings and heading to bed at 2 down for **** all, i was clearly not helping.

Can we safely say Twinkletoes got us over the line ?

The weird thing is, despite the high score I didn't find the British team's batting to be very entertaining. I'm not sure if Bazball still exists but if that was it, I'm just as happy with watching a low scoring contest with decent bowling and seeing the batters having to put in some serious effort to score runs.

I admit that Duckett played an almost flawless innings and Roots kept a steady head but some of the Australian bowling looked like it belonged on a suburban oval on a Sunday afternoon. Not to mention that the boundary was in a long way. I guess that means the ICC wants to see big scores and easy runs resulting in shootouts like this as opposed to hard earned grafting wins by teams that work for a living.

The betting companies would most likely prefer that as well.

Went to bed thinking we would have another record loss. Took a peep during the night and thought we were going to get closer than I expected. Then, this result. Sensational win.

Thought they had no hope. Cricket is a funny game (can I tm that? No? Ok)

Esp.when your own ex-countryman takes the win away from you.

Mate, I've been up all night watching it too.
Attempted a sleep but now I have to power through the day.

 

[shinboner magic]

Poms should of scored near 400

Great batting effort from our lesser lights

Hope we didn't wake you when we drove past this morning. Gave you a toot.

If you’re not currently watching Mitch Owen bat in the Tassie one day game do yourself a favour….

 

[gerry101101]

OMG that is a classic mozz. Out 10 seconds later. Sorry Mitch…. 149 off 70 odd balls

Incredible knock though.
