Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

These campaigners being so shit is boring

As someone who had to endure the pricks over there in 2005+ never take it for granted.

Grind them into dust and saviour every winning moment.

Cobra Kai the dickwads.

 

[Hojuman]

They're really not very good are they ?

Ssssh

Could be worse, could be the West Indies. NZ are 1/334 at stumps on Day 1.

Ben Stokes has abandoned Bazzball because he knows his teamates are shit.

Bowling been superb all day..

Are you still watching with the 5 minute delay?

Archer might overtake his score within the next 3 overs.

 

[Samsquanch]

The things that will make the Poms even saltier about this is that their own invention Ultra Edge is much, much better than Snicko and is used almost everywhere.

Apparently... Australia is one of the few countries in the world to use real-time Snicko (RTS) rather than Hawkeye's Ultra-Edge. Snicko uses broadcast cameras to make its decisions, while Hawkeye has specialist cameras that boast a much higher frame rate. For every single frame shown on Snicko, Ultra-Edge would have six.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

It's been a warm one. I'm bailing on the last half hour

 

[Hojuman]

Nah, mate fixed it

 

[Samsquanch]

Nah, mate fixed it

Just give the telly a good hard wack on the top like in the old days.

With a nightwatchman out to bat lol

 

[Wristo_]

Spent most of the day at the game.
For those familiar with The 12th Mans scrotometer, there's been enough squelching going on.

 

[Samsquanch]

Just saw Peter Siddle on TV. Poor guy has gone prematurely grey. Needs to get some brown tips done to look a bit younger.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Bring back hotspot. For all the arguments against it, it would have assisted with tonnes of decisions over the last 24 months.

 

[RooInNorthLondon]

IMO that score is enough to take England out of this game. We will see but I reckon we win this by 200+ runs by close day 4.

I reckon my assessment from the end of day 1 looks spot on.

They keep complaining it’s expense. Can’t cricket Australia afford it during an ashes?

Also, both of these teams batting is not great. The difference is our bowling is good, and is once again carrying our batters

I love my cricket but both this series and our one against the Windies have been really tedious

 

[Merlin007]

I didn't realise until reading it in The Age just now that it's the broadcaster who selects and pays for the review technology.

No wonder its the cheapest available

Ridiculous that a professional sport effectively turns the technical basis of officiating over to a third party

 

[Chip Scab1]

I can't look away - it's fantastic. But I don't have a lot of other options at the moment.

Ohh GK, I know that feeling of being "without use".

I think it's harder if you've come off a high base, which you truly have!

If you're ever stuck and need anything, let me know, PM me. I have all sorts of wonder for time wasting and keeping the brain a bit active!

I have had a shit 3 years, so have a fair idea what you're going through, obviously I deserve it, you don't.

What happened to the hotspot we used to use?

Yep. Ultra Edge is a sparkling Ferrari, whilst Snicko is a beat up 2007 Toyota Hilux with four bald tyres and a transmission about to collapse after being run into the ground on a badly in debt bush farm.
