Shut the fuck up krazykrejza

Measured your hairline regression today Daniel?

torn on whether or not I should buy tickets for the Pakistan ODI series lads

I don't expect it to be remotely competitive

PSA

good bet, i'll hop on it as well but my only concern is the weather which doesn't look that flash.

Leeds in May........................

Otherwise Shit Lanka will lose inside 3

Don't for the ODI series. Pakistan are laughably bad at ODI cricket. Wait for their tour to England to see whether they will be competitive in Tests. I think their bowling is good enough but their batting is dog shit.

mfw /cric/ threads are finally back

Fat Hump Gay Ltd.

Literally giving money away at this point. Do they have odds for the game not lasting 4 days?

Is Kramer /Cric/ approved? youtube.com/watch?v=BoLPLsQbdt0
Could a comedian from your country call out an abo or a coconut the same way and not have his career ruined?

Nope. Englel's odds to win the series are only 1.12 though.

I don't think they pay much attention to cricket odds since so much of the cricket fanbass aren't allowed to bet.

Depends

Chris Lilley did shit like that all the time, but it was always in character. I remember people getting furious over the first episode of Angry Boys when it came out though.

GO! BASED Sri Lank/a/

just got bowled around my legs lads

>tfw new /cric/ thread after ages
:DDDDD

>tfw test cricket's back

got a bit desperate in the post-January break lads, I've been unironically following text updates on the brave men of somerset during their county games

just dug up the pitch at Headingly lads

just pissed on the pitch at The Oval lads

just took a dump at trent bridge lads

haha nice one Monty

just left a sausage roll wrapper on the floor at lords lads

Good lad

just drew graffiti on the castle in Chester-le-Street lads

fucking seething this series is happening. James Anderson in literal fucking tears two years ago was one of my all-time favourite cricket moments and Sri Lanka should have had atleast four years before they had to comeback

just ran starkers through Branall Lane lads

Too bad Sri Lanka remembered there were other teams beyond Poo Peeland

Considering doing it for Amir tbqh

Don't worry lad, Poo Peeland are upping their game. Next season they are hosting Bangladesh. NZC are working really hard to finally get Kane past that 50 average :^)

>tfw you realise Voges would be averaging in the 120's in Australia tour to Bangladesh wasn't cancelled

>you will never see Voges statpad against Zimbabwe on a WACA road

at least I saw Hayden's 300 in person

another highlight of the PP golden age of cricket

Why do they call it test cricket?

Because it really tests your patience lmoa

I'm glad Lara wasted an entire Test match against England just so he could get his record back.

It triggered my autism that the highest score came against fucking Zimbabwe.

>India are UNIRONICALLY playing ANOTHER Test series against Zimbabwe AND playing 4( F O U R) Tests against the Tendies followed by like 17 Home test matches in a row

The Indian Cricket Council could atleast be subtle about trying to pad Pissrat Kohli's average

the truth finally comes out

...

Anyone got that montage of Indian twitter/facebook posts?

based saxon

Gidday /cric/ Baz here. I'm really enjoying my retirement, and as you can see I've found yet another format that I can consistently only get 70-80 in.

fuck off daniel don't shill your shitty site

ta

Starc back soon lads get hype

Based McGOAT

How's your racehorse trafficking joint going?

Cummins too

Rest of the world on suicide watch

Nah, he isn't playing until some AusA fixture in August and then he'll probably play one game and snap his spinal cord

just remember this exists

>Basedtings pooicided in the IPL

Lads...

>England vs Sri Lanka

>no England flags
>no Sri Lankan flags

Why are you all here tttt sydney morning herald

Yea na good mate, Save the Stars was 9 lengths behind the winner today in Race 3 at Hastings, but she's only a young horse with plenty of potential!

>meaningless tri-lateral ODI series

eh it's okay. I'd rather Pattinjured and Cummins were kept on ice than risked for that. Starc is more than enough to beat garbage like South Africa and Tendies anyway

Warner
Burns
Khawaja
Smith
Voges
Mitchell Marsh
Nevill
SOK
Starc
Hazlewood
Lyon

-------

Reserves:
Shaun Marsh
Maxwell
Zampa
Pattinson
Sandhu

That Herschelle Gibbs bit will never not be funny

No Ahmed on reserve?

I agree with everything else

Nah he's shit and I don't expect them to use a third specialist spinner anyway.

Zampa clearly has the most potential of all the leggies so it's worth having him in the squad t b h

>Mitchell Marsh

Have England announced their XI yet?

I know it's not going to happen, but I still think Lyth should be recalled and Compton shifted into Taylor's slot.

shouldn't you be pandering to big sterng Indians on twitter, Jimmy?

Cook
Hales
Compton
Root
Vince
Stokes
Bairstow
Ali
Broad
Anderson
Finn

12th: Ball

literally the best seaming all rounder in the world who consistently out bowled >your greatest ever new ball partnership

1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Alex Hales, 3 Nick Compton, 4 Joe Root, 5 James Vince, 6 Ben Stokes, 7 Jonny Bairstow (wk), 8 Moeen Ali, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Steven Finn, 11 James Anderson

The only other player in the squad is some literal whom called Ball

basically just there to carry drinks

>Hales
fucking dumbass daniel

If you're going to drop a quick to let a 2nd spinner in surely it has to be Marsh. Starc is a better batsman than him.

Just did a big poo lads

RARE FLAG

Marsh is LITERALLY better than Boult and Southee and is the new Kallis.

>I only watched the ashes: the post

MMarsh is literally a batting allrounder, Starc's batting is just a glorified bitchwide

Pattinson was put in reserves because he has bones of glass, Mitch Marsh is just there to hold down an end and score runs every now and then

>Might that determination have contributed to the problem? While AVRC is, 90% of the time, genetically inherited, is it possible that his training regime - and nobody hit the gym harder than Taylor - might have asked too much of his body? It is too early to say for sure as tests continue to ascertain exactly what happened and what limits will be put on him after the operation.

KEK

>be turbo-manlet
>overcompensate by training 10x harder than everybody else
>literally create a rare career ending and life-threatening condition by overworking your manlet heart


"I've an athletic heart," he explains. "I physically have a big heart. It's quite common in athletes. I trained a lot more than most cricketers.

K E K

Reminder that KP was right all along.

>Offspinner Sunil Narine and allrounder Kieron Pollard, who have not played international cricket since November 2015, have been picked in West Indies' squad for the first four matches of the upcoming Tri-Nation series against Australia and South Africa, which starts from June 3.
>Carlos Brathwaite and Marlon Samuels, who played key roles in West Indies' World T20 triumph earlier this year, have been selected but the squad does not include allrounder Andre Russell. Darren Sammy, Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle have also not been picked.

It's an improvement I guess

>but the squad does not include allrounder Andre Russell. Darren Sammy, Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle have also not been picked.

they're actually going backwards. All those guys except Worst Bravo were in the 2015 CWC squad

now they've picked Pollard and Narine who are fucking rubbish

The mercs always play in the world cups. I don't remember Dre Russ playing in their last ODI bilateral.

Basedcroft has dominated ANOTHER county game lads

Test call up LITERALLY when

Are you going to name your other horses after famous cricket bats?

fuck off back to /rug/ cunt this is a namefag free zone

t. British Indian

I'm not going to leave /cri/ cuz

Decided to put my trip back on because I just got home and found that the try hard is still trying to sully my good name.

>just got home

but you made a post 10 minutes ago m8, right here

Nice meme. I don't live in devonport.

Yeah we know Browns Bay lad doesn't live in Devonport, he's been exposed multiple times.

>1978 - The last time a Test in Leeds in the month of May or June ended in a draw. Each of the ten Tests played in these months at this venue since then has ended with a decisive result.

The fuck are you on about? I don't live in browns Bay I'm neither a Saffa or an old person.

>The abysmal state of this """poomunity"""

>1(one) unique IP

fucking laughable

/rug/ will NEVER see numbers that high

>Page 20
Where did we go wrong

Based Boland

good job actually including a subject field this time

What are the poodictions lads? Will Hales statpad his way into a secured opening spot?

45 run opening stand followed by a middle order collapse around Root, outside of a 10 over autism-off between Cook and Compton for 0.5 runs an over, producing a total of 275

Bairstow will also shit his pants against Chameera and waddle off in tears again.

Still unconvinced by Burns and Best Marsh. O'Keefe as well I don't think has done enough with his chances so far.

I'd like to see Memeswell given an extended run in the side.

cricket is gay

Get the fuck back into the nets, Glenn.

>Bairstow will also shit his pants against Chameera

Nope, Chameera is a meme and Bitchstow and the rest will slap him around because he doesn't have a single decent delivery except for the bouncer.

Chameera looked good against Poo Peeland ""batsmen"". But then, Shittle and Jackson fucking Bird looked good against PP bats"""men""".

delet this

I think you mean KrazyReddit m8

haha, good one

my problem with Burns is that he can't play the moving ball to save his life. He scraped through the PP tour because Pooult and Shithee bowled nothing but cross seamers. He'd do fine in Sri Lanka, since their bowlers aren't anything to write home about, but I see no point in developing someone that flawed. I'd much rather see SMarsh statpad his confidence back. I still maintain he could be an excellent player.

I saw a joe root one on england's facebook page, something like 'hi joe i am big batterman like you pls i come england now'

>tfw /cric/ is back
