The Cricket Thread

[Kenny]

Afternoon to the Oz version of Wolf Hunting....

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

My thoughts are this is very in balance. A very fascinating first two thirds of a session. England are batting well. Australia are bowling and fielding well in defending against the Baz. Really intriguing stuff so far,

 

[WsWolf]

Batsmen have looked comfortable and the balls not doing much. Australia trying to just frustrate but at some point they are going to have to start looking for wickets as I doubt we are all going to give them away like Duckett and to a lesser extent pope did. Then they could have the game taken away from them as we start to ramp the run rate up.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I always thought 85-90 at lunch on the first day was good batting. which should be 30 overs. 23.2 overs. 108-2

 

[WsWolf]

On a normal English pitch maybe, this is lifeless.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think you worry too much

 

[WsWolf]

No idea why he didn't give that live.

 

[Dinowolf]

Crawley gone 61

124-3

Lunch

 

[Carrotdude]

Probably just tips that over into being Australia’s morning. The pitch is dead

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Just a good ball that. Bizarre that Erasmus didn't give it.

Honours even I would say with how deep we (theoretically) bat and how quickly we've scored.

 

[Dinowolf]

On a normal English pitch maybe, this is lifeless.

Hardly lifeless, or dead. Flat, I agree.
Boland has got the ball to lift off just short of a length, which is how Crawley went.
I would say an even session with that last wicket falling.

 

[WsWolf]

Think Australia will be the happier of the two but not a lot in it.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Labuschagne is such a knob. Shut the fuck up.

 

[Carrotdude]

Is that who I can hear on the stump mic when Lyon’s bowling?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yep, he's forever screeching away. A complete oddball.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's a bad drop, easily made the ground

 

[Carrotdude]

Terrible shot as well, got away with it

 

[Wolvensam]

Obviously got away with one but Brook has all the attributes to be top notch.

 

[Wolftone]

Started tipping it down over here. Could be heading your way in an hour or two.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Not been a great 10 minutes for Travis Head
