The Cricket Thread

Knew it was going be him.

Bethell’s basically opened so far this tour and he hasn’t done badly. I don’t know what the alternatives are to be honest.

Runs off to google English opening bats

Says the guy allowing Aussies to live rent free. Even when you are talking about England you are talking about the Aussies

Huh?

Anyway, funnily enough I am literally living rent free in Australia, which is kind of ironic.

Terrible weather in Sydney today. Rain all day. Just like home except ten degrees warmer.

Off to get some lamingtons to have with my barramundi and watery beer.

Goodness me that’s a very stupid ball to play at from Smith. Going down leg side and forcing a nick on it.

At least Marnus isn’t playing brain-dead cricket. For once.

Maybe Bethell is the real deal after all? A hat trick for Atkinson earlier on, this test couldn’t really have gone any better for England. NZ look weary after their exploits in India.

Yeah, can’t see them getting 500+, although there’s still three days left. Looks like they’re going to let Joe try to get his ton and Stokes will have a slog. Should be entertaining.
The pitch looks pretty benign.

I swear I better hear that Marsh has diarrhoea and needed to get to the loo, or fucking else. Just what the absolute fuck??!

I’m furious with him. Jesus. Even Ashwin was telling Marsh he clipped his own pad.

@Sithbare managed to sneak in some of his korma. He’ll do anything to get a win for India.

This match is probably going to decide the trajectory of the series. Throwing your wicket away on what is likely to be another close run thing makes me want to throw shit around. Fiuuuucvckkkk!!

I saw this on Reddit:

Travis Head is batting like Gilchrist - incredible.

Makes you think he is the next Captain. He captained Soith Australia at 21 so next in line for sure.

Give him a wrap and he is out next ball.

My Aussie/Indian missus has just described Boland as ‘inbred’.
This seems quite impolite to me, but I’m not aware of the customs among your tribe, maybe that’s considered an acceptable observation.
Would Australian cricket fans find this hurtful?

Will Australia have to bat again?

I’m sure that some will, while others won’t.

Like most things.

I think they’re a pretty thick skinned bunch to be fair.

Stupid shot KL.

Not me. However a public figure saying this may get cancelled by the angry online mobs. But why Boland he looks like a strapping ordinary bloke.

Aussies on the mainland have always joked about Tasmanians in this way.

The late great David Hookes once said he was looking forward to playing in Tassy in front of 10000 people and 20000 heads!

Innings win incoming for the inbreds :wink:
