The Cricket Thread

[Tony Towner]

Absolutely spineless shit from the ICC with India, yet again.

So they get to dictate where they will or won't play during an international tournament but no-one else does.

I didn't post this, because it's become tiresome, but they did the visa thing again with English players with Pakistani heritage, both born in England and both have been there before

Adil Rashid has played 40 international games in India previously.

They and their government are a disgrace, Modi goes under the radar with what a piece of shit he is.

BCCI unofficially run world cricket ICC are more like a puppet controlled by the BCCI

Joe Root is just ludicrous, what are we going to do when he retires

Same as we did when Jimmy retired... Go massively backwards

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

This Brook bloke seems quite useful

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Overton is bloody awful

 

[jd1981]

Couple of things Sri Lanka are pretty poor.
Overton wouldn’t look out of place bowling in the minor counties

Curran hat trick

 

[Sniffer]

His first 2 overs went for 35. The hat-trick saved us 15 runs?

Rocks for brains. Get caught and then doubling down on the lies.

I thought it was known that he was with Bethell that night?

No, that was the one in Noosa. Confusing your nights on the piss

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I still don't understand how they thought they would get away with Noosa. There are about four bars on Hastings St and two others I can think of in Noosaville. None are very big, and neither is the town. It is also full of up their own arses twats who film themselves just to post "here I am in Noosa with all the famous, rich, vapid, empty vessels" so it was always going to get out. They would have been better off going to Byron Bay as most people seeing them would have been too stoned to post about it.

Twenty years ago I loved Noosa. Can't stand the place now.

That's er, an interesting action

A splendid 4-0-61-0 for Curran and Overton today.

How are we going into a World Cup in Asia with BOTH of them playing, it's insane Jeremy

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh and Pakistan now aren't playing India.

Someone really needs to tell the latter to stop fucking around. Should be on us and Australia, but we won't do anything.

 

[Tony Towner]

Tony Pigott, died today. For those of a certain age a Sussex stalwart

 

[Sniffer]

England beat Australia by 27 runs to reach the final of the u19 World Cup with Jimmy White’s grandson being one of the victorious team.
