Sri Lanka 355 & 109/4 (34 ov) v Australia 379

Starc just got his 24th wicket and has the best figures of any visiting pace bowler in Sri Lanka

I've put on 5 kg this month ttytt

absolutely disgusted with myself

griget

is this /bundes/?

He would literally have more if Smith wasn't a fucking mong
>spinners getting slapped around
>"lol better bowl more Holland"

walkcunt lads

Yeah m8, thoughts on Hamburger's chances this year?

europa league place, i reckon

Reminder I was advocating SMarsh's selection from day 1. He's literally one of the best batsman in these conditions in this meme of a country.

been a good month of cricket lads

just saw the stumping on telly lads, absolutely fucking elite

Dunno how I feel about it Tbh. Quick work by Nevill, but I don't think it was in the spirit of the game.

Will Buttler get recalled?

god almighty someone please reply to me

...

Yeah I agree. Good for a laugh and probably a genuine tactic in meme cricket, but a bit rude tb h

>Malaysia Under-23s 297/7 (50 ov)
>Zimbabwe Under-19s 23/1 (5.5 ov)

Literally WHO can stop >us?

>opening with Holland
>bowling Holland
>selecting Holland

>holland

based bolland

...

Holland is fucking shit, surely the refugee is the better choice

What's the best dilmah tea flavour lads

fuck me Starc is good

>select Marsh and the wog
>don't bowl them
>be a former specialist leggy
>never bowl
>have two unironically mediocre pie chuckers
>don't bowl them

Clarke would have won this series by now Tbh. Fuck Smith

When will Sri Lanka declare?

275 lead, but Mathews is too shit to do it

Based Mathews. Knew Sri Lanka had enough runs on the board and decided to slog. Wants to win it today. Top skipper.

>Zimbabwe Under-19s 48/7 (15.2 ov)
Malaysia test status when?

Just got back from the shops lads, rude bitch at the counter didn't say a single word to me in the whole transaction.

what did you get lad

Coke Zero, razors, milk some bread and pasta

>coke zero
kys

a cucumber, some condoms and some baby formula

it tastes fucking good Tbh

Rate my vinyl pickups lads
>Sonic Youth - Spinhead Sessions
>Fugazi - Red Medicine
>Weezer - Weezer (the white one)
>Car Seat Headrest - Teens of Denial

is """""bad light""""" still memeing this series?

nope, just rain and pace bowling

Someone explain this "australians can't bowl in asia" meme. I get that guys like Lyon will bowl slightly differently in Australia to generate spin on pitches here, but that doesn't excuse his horrible line and length this series

good to see Smith realised he had more than four bowlers in the team

Let me preface this by saying I think Starc is one of the best limited-overs bowlers of this generation, but these skills don't exactly translate into test cricket. He's only got one wicket-taking delivery which is great against attacking batsman in ODIs/T20s, but not as effective against set, patient test batsmen. He doesn't have the variation or consistency for tests.
If the swing is not working for him a particular day, he has nothing to fall back on, not even his pace. Starc bowls too many wayward deliveries in between his good ones which releases the pressure.
Mitchell Johnson, though of a similar pace, bowls a heavy ball which makes it awkward for batsmen and has them jumping around, whilst Hazelwood bowls a consistent line-and-length outside off-stump.

Rating: Tryhard

I was going to get the new Swans too, but I thought that would be too much.

serious question, what makes it a 'heavy' ball?

ball bounces up and hits the splice ala Morkel
it makes it seem faster and heavier on impact

Is Marsh elite?

>put bolland back on
>pressure instantly evaporates

It's unfortunate that this is a dead rubber, during Olympics season and not televised in Australia, because it's a genuinely good game of test cricket

Tbh it's generated the most interest in my social circle thanks to the meme stumping and the two centuries

>ANOTHER near miss

FUCKING EDGE IT CHANDIMAL

Might kill myself lads

I'm 24 and don't see life getting better

well it certainly isn't gonna get better if you neck yourself. find a hobby

Same desu

What hobbies do you have m8?

Fishing, bushwalking and a little bit of hunting here and there. Also run a reasonably successful Youtube channel on outdoorsy stuff

Do any of you lads play cricket captain 2016?

yeah m8 ama

music, cycling, reading and wargaming

hobbies make life interesting

need some wickets lads

How many do we need, Mark?

Can I join in?

ayyyyy croatbro

So this is pretty much a confirmed draw hey lads

SL wins or draw

Still banging that drum hey mate?

can you bat or bowl mate

about five by my reckoning

yup m8.
are you saying that meme warner and smoth wont go for win if they had to chase 300-320 in 80 overs?

He's right. The pitch is going to be a minefield tomorrow and Herath is going to tear the spine out of >our lineup. There's literally three people in the entire team that can play this shit.

Anything above 250 is incredibly unlikely to be chased and these current batsmen aren't looking like they're going anywhere. Smith is a fucking mong that cost >us this series

Reckon I could be a decent batter with some practice.

Got a good line and length though

>a duck against a team full of kids and captained by sean "the killer" abbott

That's it, he's finished

I'm fucking furious lads

>voges bowling

>The Killer is systematically eliminating Inveriarty's chosen

can't blame ya

loooked out

If this is another fucking umpire's call I swear I will LITERALLY castrate Shashank Manohar

don't forget to blow your savings on prozzies before you pull the pin

who /newball/ here

Captaining a T20 team takes more skill and willpower than a test team due to the naturally fast paced nature of the format which requires fast, on your feet decision making

Is it worth getting?

Thinking about either that or superhot

if you already have any of the recent games, no, unless you're daniel and you want to play the SA or NZ domestic leagues.

Superhot is like 2 hours long, just pirate it m8

Never played a sports management game before so it should be good.

But yeah, I'll probably buy it and pirate superhot.

What'd he mean by dis?

last two digits of my post is Smith's IQ

just got home lads

huh

Reality cunt on aborted narrative watch

really makes you think

>australia's greatest ever batsman
>le le mong xd
show some fucking respect

based fucking gary

He literally makes Afridi look like Mark Taylor

shut the fuck up you utter sperg

the series was lost because of Burns (QLD), Khawaja (QLD) and Voges (WA) being fucking useless

the series was sealed by Rod Marsh (WA) and his brain sparks in calling up Jon Bolland and Shitriques

t. the future Mrs Smith

COLLAPSE

bowling SL out now is the worst thing they could do

Mathews is dumb enough he'd probably let them bat to a lead of 400 and guarantee a draw

Voges literally has some of the most runs in the side

you're right, we really need to force dots
