The Cricket Thread

[jd1981]

Matthew’s has labelled Bangladesh “disgraceful” for timing him out.
Yep it’s another shitbag trick but you can’t take a moral high ground when you’ve happily been swimming in the mankad pool.

Tangent to Wolves but you can have:

Doherty (2023 and counting, sadly) -> Ikeme (2003, in a matchday squad at least) -> Ince (1986, for West Ham)

Three players over 37 years

Does it have to be top flight? Because Ikeme was in a match day squad with Irwin surely, who made his Leeds debut in 1983

Great shout. 40 years then!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Looks like Irwin made his debut in October 1983. Sadly Parkin retired in the May or we could have added one more player and got back to 1964.

Back to cricket for the moment,
Would love Afghanistan to get top 4, is that feasible or romantic nonsense?

Feasible if they win today, need 80 off these last 10 though to set a competitive total

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Got plenty of wickets to have a big thrash. We shall see.

 

[Sniffer]

The Afghans keep losing wickets just when they look as though somebody will start making a difference to the run rate. Need at least 40 off of the last 4.

 

[Mel Evo]

Strange to see the Aussies claiming a dodgy catch - not like them.

 

[BillyDee]

Same old Aussies...

 

[Tony Towner]

Game on

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That is a very decent total. And the Afghan spinners are more than useful.

 

[Sniffer]

43 for 2

 

[Sniffer]

49 for 3. Warner Marsh and Head gone.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Lolz at Smith getting dropped. Important that Aus had Stoinis available to bowl his 1 over instead.

 

[Sniffer]

49 for 4 - Agent Inglis gone.

 

[Sniffer]

Review for the hat-trick.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Stoinis last made an ODI 50 on 5 March 2019. When Theresa May was still Prime Minister of the UK.

Averages 17 from 39 innings since. Awful player.

 

[Sniffer]

Maxwell will do this on his own.

 

[Sniffer]

Maxwell goes off injured at 147 not out.

edit - no he hasn't.
