Literally just slept for four hours to make up for the sleep I'm missing tonight
Jose Robinson
>sleeping before a test match don't people usually sleep during a test match?
Gabriel Torres
Yeah, that's why cricket has suck good TV ratings.
The people that "watch" it turn on the TV then go to sleep or fuck off and do something else
Brayden Wilson
Yes generally, I'm only planning on watching until tea and then sleeping, but that's still 2am.
Jordan Diaz
>The people that "watch" it turn on the TV then go to sleep or fuck off and do something else do you think some of them are using it as some kind of insomnia treatment?
Carter Hall
Cricket for them is nothing but a time sink in their empty, empty "lives"
Adam Powell
this is the face of the average cricket fan
Daniel King
There are definitely strong links between cricket and depression.
See: daniel.
Leo Williams
>There are definitely strong links between being an english cricketer and depression.
ftfy
see: trott, trescothick, harmison etc
Hunter Williams
Not just england m8, we've had tons. Lou Vincent and Jesse Ryder being the big ones. Even Mark "very popular comedian" Richardson apparently quit early because of depression.
I think the sport just attracts people who are inclined to that sort of shit, particularly in batting.
Owen Wright
oops i just stepped on an ausWORM! *squash*
Kevin Hughes
How gay is the combo of Australia cricket and German soccer?
Nolan Reed
Can't think of a single Australian. Maybe Shaun Tait but he just never really liked cricket, admitted as much and lost motivation.
Guess English"""""men""""" and Peewis are just mentally weak
Shane Watson is the most mentally weak Australian cricketer I can think of and he never quit or took time off because of fairies in his head
Liam Walker
>I think the sport just attracts people who are inclined to that sort of shit, particularly in batting. Not in Australia. Our folk heroes are guys like Ian Chappell, Alan Border, Steve Waughner II and Ricky Ponting who are all famous for having an attitude of theyd rather die than give their wicket away or stop playing cricket
Daniel Ross
i think australians in general aren't intelligent enough to get depression
Anthony Watson
Will /bundes/ be supporting england or pakistan in the tests?
>Watzke: "Dortmunds Strahlkraft höher als von ManCity" they're literally mentally ill

Brandon Adams
>David Saker has been named as Australia's new full-time assistant coach, taking over the role vacated by Craig McDermott earlier this year. Saker, who served as England's bowling coach from 2010 to 2015, is also expected to step in as Australia's acting head coach at some point next year to give Darren Lehmann a break, as occurred when Justin Langer stood in during the recent tri-series in the Caribbean.
...
The is fucking worse than Ali de Winter. He is somehow going to get Starc and Cummins bowling at 125 kp/h and ruin them just like he did Anderson and Finn
Oliver Clark
i hope they've left some grass on the wicket and its not flat as fuck like lords has been recently
Jaxson Diaz
>and its not flat as fuck like lords has been recently advantage Pakistan if it is
England are awful on roads
Sebastian Moore
will amir end root's career?
Jonathan Hughes
>England 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Alex Hales, 3 Joe Root, 4 James Vince, 5 Gary Ballance, 6 Jonny Bairstow (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Jake Ball, 11 Steven Finn.
>Pakistan (probable) 1 Mohammad Hafeez, 2 Shan Masood, 3 Azhar Ali, 4 Younis Khan, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), 6 Asad Shafiq, 7 Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), 8 Wahab Riaz, 9 Mohammad Amir, 10 Rahat Ali / Imran Khan, 11 Yasir Shah
Should we have a separate match thread when it starts?
>Just watching Clouds of Sils Maria, makes you realise how much of an excellent actress Kristen Stewart is. he's right about this tho
Tyler Murphy
azhar with some zampa/smith tier legspin
Kevin Russell
>given the shitness of both batting lineups there is nothing shit about Pakistans batting lineup if it is a road. That batting lineup is a machine on slow, low surfaces. it's only if the ball starts doing things they have a big problem
Englands batting is alot weaker than against Sri Lanker aswell. Bitchstow keeping could cost them badly if Pakistan arent shit
Carter Brown
>Englands batting is alot weaker than against Sri Lanker aswell. It's literally the same they just swapped one unproven #3 for another
Connor Hall
>putting Zampa in Smith-tier
WTF
he is legit becoming one of the better pyjama spinners around. And his style is nothing like Smith. Smith tried to turn the ball alot and would bowl 3 pies an over. Zampa doesn't turn it alot but is pretty accurate. Hopefully he has a good run in the Shield this season and can start to put some pressure on Nathan Lyon in the next few years
Brandon Roberts

world xi btw lads
Isaiah Lopez
Ballance can not be any worse than Compton was against SL. He literally averaged 12.
Stokes does fuck all most of the time, and it's been proven that Mo bats better when he's not at 8. Also, Woakes is better than Stokes on average.
Zachary Edwards
imagine being a fair skinned bundesliga fan who doesn't like cricket and therefore has no test cricket to look forward to today
Joseph Wright
KEK
Levi Carter
>Ballance can not be any worse than Compton was against SL Pakistan have two left-armers and one of them is excellent
Lets see
>Woakes is better than Stokes on average false equivalency, woakes was in the team before, just batting @ 9 not 8. Against SL the mid-order was stacked. They have basically swapped Stokes for Jake Ball. Stokes is objectively a better bat than Jake 'literally whom' Ball.
Elijah Hill
layers of irony right here
Jacob Martin
Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes and Ben Foakes in the Test team WHEN?
>a fair skinned bundesliga fan [citation needed]
Jason Jones
His handwriting is awful
Nicholas Allen
england v pak at home is top tier desu
Gabriel Barnes
Ball is Anderson's replacement, not Stokes'. Woakes batted at 8 against SL, not 9. England have the same number of batsmen as before. Are you sure you watched the series lad?
It's just part of the irony lad
John Jones
Misbah looks like a 70 year old tibetan sherpa now lads

No we want the big strong foreigners tow atch are sport
Kevin Hall
>this delusion Rod Marsh and Dennis Lillee literally tanked a game they placed a bet on. Shane Warne sold out to bookies too and had the audacity to say Amir shouldn't be playing anymore. Australian cricketers aren't even remotely noble or sportsmanlike, they are the biggest bunch of hypocritical cunts and whiny crybabys when things don't go their own way. One rule for them and one rule for everyone else.
Levi Foster
Why do Paki cricketers NEVER retire? Younis is like 50 as well fuck.
Noah Martin
What the fuck are you talking about you mongoloid?
I'm not saying anything you said is incorrect, but we were talking about mental weakness/being mentally ill, not corruption or "nobility"

>Schalke are expecting a bid of around £35m for their forward Leroy Sané from Manchester City in the next week. The 20-year-old, who has been on City’s radar since 2013, is keen to move to the Premier League but Schalke hope to receive nearer to £45m for a player who made his debut for Germany against France last year.
