The Cricket Thread

Stokes is such an amazing cricketer.

In fairness to India, it’s not their fault we’ve made zero effort to try and develop any spinners in this country.

Taking the best weather month for spin out of the four day county calendar for a gimmick to advertise crisps does that

 

[Tony Towner]

It goes back longer than that. The Hundred has affected the scheduling of the County 1 day tournaments more than the Championship. Bar a couple of rounds high Summer was given up to the one day game long ago.

Hartley getting absolutely slapped which isn’t particularly surprising

Lad has been set up to fail, it's not fair on him.

This is a bit of a horror show, talk about testing someone’s character after this.
Very much been chucked under the bus.

 

[Sniffer]

Breakthrough!

Just 67 overs to go with no reviews left

No more full stop, they haven't been reset with the new ball for about 6 years now

Yep sorry my mistake

246 with the bat is reasonable considering conditions and level of bowling attack faced.
What’s happened with ball really shouldn’t a shock maybe only the rate at which we’ve conceded at.
It’s old ground and nothing will change but preparation is everything and we’ve done nowhere near enough. Not going pile on the players as this is what happens when you don’t follow the 7P’s.

I like adidas, their three stripes are a design classic.
But not on cricket whites...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Poor Hartley had all the threat of his namesake from pipkins

One for the kids there

 

[BillyDee]

He should stick to fly fishing like his grandad...

West Indies were 64-5 and ended up getting 311. They’ve got Australia down to 54-5 now as well which is a great effort

On Straya day too.

I wonder if Paddy joined in the Toowoomba celebrations? Thong tossing is quite popular there I hear...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We just had a barbie

 

[jd1981]

At least it’s not an innings defeat
