Banter The WCE Cricket Banter Thread (Ball tampering permitted)

[TY24]

Glad to see fast bowlers being rewarded (Archer, Thomas) for bowling fast and short. The recent obsession with slower balls was boring to watch

Starc and Cummins will be absolutely licking their lips watching this match

Shame Richardson didn’t get up because he would be a match winner on this deck.

I'm gonna go and hangout with HoneyBadger35 for the rest of the world cup.

Not too late to join the sandpaper bandwagon

I'll join that for the Ashes.

This is really what we expected from Sri Lanka to be fair.

There is a code on the UberEats app which lets you order up to $20 of free Maccas tonight after midnight (you still have to pay delivery fee), if you're hungry and watching the match you should make use of this.

Lankans... Wth?

 

[Seadog]

Warners only redeeming feature was he smashed the ball around the park, if he's not doing that he's got nothing.

Bangladesh looking very very good here.

South Africa need 103 off the last 10 overs with 5 wickets in hand to avoid losing to Bangladesh

Two losses to start their World Cup a definite possibility

Handy to have one of our main rivals losing to Bangladesh. That said wouldn’t mind if they take out a couple sides.

Bangladesh aren't a joke any more, wouldn't be surprised to see them win a few matches.

Decent score by Pakistan but they left a few runs out there. 350 is very gettable for this English side.

If they can keep them at 6.0 an over for the first five or so, the pressure will mount very quickly. But that's a tough ask against this England batting line-up with a Power Play.

Roy gone and melting and their review gone. 13 balls in!

Roy gone and melting and their review gone. 13 balls in!

No idea why he's whinging about with the umpire, it was three reds and plumb. Was he expecting Shadab to warn him before he got him LBW?

 

[Ochre]

Wasted the review and dropped a sitter, Jason Roy (the big Eagles fan) having a shocker.

 

[Quinz]

Big start here by Pakistan, but England just keep the runs ticking over even when they lose wickets.

Get Root and it’s game on.

 

[Patron]

England looking scarily comfortable in this chase.

 

[Keys]

Nasser Hussain is such a plonker

England score 10 runs in an over without hitting a boundary and he’s cheerleading about how they did it without risk

Buttler was a bees dick from chopping on and Ali hit an uppish drive that cleared the fielder by little more than a metre

But yeah no risk you *stick

 

[Quinz]

Well well well. Watching Pakistan is never dull, you have to say that. Awesome performance to beat England at the Postage Stamp.
