Cricket Thread: Bring on the Kiwis

[Eagleboy2011]

Just saw this on a soccer forum and have to share.


I heard England are contemplating signing Novak Djokavic to be their opening batsmen in the next ashes series. They are impressed it took Australia two weeks to get him out.

So we want the Stars to roll the Canes tonight to assure a home final, who would've thought we'd be saying that 2 weeks ago?

Nothing like a home final in front of 25 fans.

It's been a good few games for the Strikers but I also feel it gives false hope and we will just turn up and do the same again next year for about the 4th year in a row.

We can't keep playing four recognized bowlers so either our batsman improve to a point we have more confidence in them or Neilsen improves his batting and can bat higher like the keeper does in every other team. Ideally we have five bowlers and a then a batsmam who can cover a few overs if required.

25 fans confirmed - all week 1 finals are in Melbourne, with our 'home' final taking place at the MCG

Why the * does there even need to be bubbles?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Why the fu** does there even need to be bubbles?

Because covid wiped out many of the teams.

... though should just be about being smart & not being social butterflies & minimising contact with others (ie. Like Cummins heading to a restaurant & catching covid).

NZ have pulled out from their tour here

26 now!

Exactly! Just ask the players to have some common sense and limit social interactions in their home state. It will kill any chance of decent crowds for finals if they're all in Melbourne and none of their teams are actually in them. Common sense and CA don't exactly go hand in hand unfortunately.

Thunder bowler Hasnain bowling action has been reported, the guy who's first game against us in his first over got 3 wickets and we all said hey that's a suspect action

 

[Crow till I die]

English mate from York who is a cricket tragic told me the other day that the ECB should try and sign up Djokovic to play for them - because apparently it takes days for the Aussies to get him out.

Cameron Boyce has just taken a double hat trick in the BBL

Noise complaint? Gaz with the witty one liner as they are leaving, that's why he is the GOAT

What did he say?

What did he say?

After the cops said to call it a night at 6am the next morning:

And so it begins. The AFL will be taking notes.

 

[MarcusP2]

WTF Maxwell. I reckon we are getting the 'home' final.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

We’re all Melbourne Stars fans tonight

 

[hey shorty]

Playing a C grade bowling attack but you still gotta hit them.

Incredible batting

 

[cmndstab]

Lol that the Strikers finish the season with a 6-8 win/loss record to sneak into fourth spot.

 

[skam85]

We can thank the Renegades choking that the Stars aren't in the finals. Dangerous team.

So what's with the pronunciation of Cockburn, they say it like Cobain on the TV?

Basically getting the Bash Boost point in most of our losses got us over the line
