>Why would anyone be interested in Horse Trading? Is it better than the Stock Exchange? Definitely more interesting. Plus you can make decent money off the betting.
Aiden Cooper
Agreed India lost the first test but, at least we have home test series!! The last time Pakistan or Bangladesh invited Australia they spit on your face and moved on!!!
Charles Cox
What happened? I just popped down the shop to get some batteries after hearing Australia was sending their worse squad ever to India and I come back and Australia won their first test and on top in the second.

Splendid! A new thread just in time for England's next glorious victory.

Indians having no respect for authority. What a fucking surprise.
Benjamin Lewis
I get genuinely annoyed by their le nice guys gimmick
Jackson Barnes
Anyone been down at Mardi Gras?
Joshua Lopez
Na mate I'm straight
Nicholas Rogers
About like watching England in India, then. Matters are not being helped by you Aussies taking the same team apart.
Gabriel Sanchez
so is Bill Shorten
Ayden Ward
Tbh if England and Australia's fixture was reversed I reckon England would have been winning tests rather than us India's overconfidence played a big part in losing at Pune
Christian Jackson
England have no good spinners tho.
Ethan Garcia
Case in point: this trash from Rashid.
Xavier Evans
really enjoying the new Sun Kil Moon lads
Carson Turner
just pick more part timers, that should do the trick
Nathan Parker
Is it raining there or does that camera just have water droplets on it for some reason?
Sebastian King
pretty jelly of australia pushing india's shit in at home when we did it when we had good spinners in swann & monty it was one of the most enjoyable series ever because I fucking hate india
Hudson Hill
While winning in India was probably the bigger achievement, 2011 in England was still the epitome of Indian humiliation.
Michael Wilson
feels pretty fucking great to realise renshaw will be in the team for another 15 years
Nicholas Jackson
I feel bad for Bancroft, if the Bangladesh tour wasn't cancelled that spot would have been his
Nicholas Sanchez
What makes it great it is the whole circumstance surrounding the Pune pitch, Harbhajan coming out and saying that it's the worst Australian team to come to India and that they'd lose 3-0 if they played well and coming off getting brownwashed in Sri Lanka Hopefully a series defeat (if one happens) will shock India back into putting out normal wickets again instead of the garbage they served up South Africa and Australia in Pune
Jace King
yeah but would he have made it his own considering his form since then? honestly he has no one to blame but himself, even at the start of this summer if he'd scored a few runs he would have been in ahead of renshaw
Asher Peterson
Who knows Tbh
Aiden Smith
I also doubt that he'd be ahead of Renshaw thanks to a man by the name of Greg Chappell
Matthew Gutierrez
hard to know and obviously chappell does love young players from queensland
but bancroft had been on their radar for a while and it was clear they were pretty keen on him
Jason Scott
Renshaw is my favourite Englishman
Jonathan Reed
Chappell is a sexual predator
Dylan Fisher
I reckon he fingered Heazlett's bumhole a bit at the Australian Cricket Academy

Got my $50 woolworths voucher from vinnies lads, sold it to my dealer for $15 and a gram of weed, got myself a cask of wine and now it's almost time to enjoy some cricket!
Brayden Lee
Agreed. The problem with India is they're a bunch of homebabbies and never play away.
Luis Campbell
dead
Lincoln James
w-what? Vinnies is giving out NEETvouchers now? How do I get one?
Jason Cox
Ring the Salvation Army, or St Vincent De Paul for your area and they will put you in touch with the right place. Both of these do food vouchers and food parcels, they may give you a specific number to ring within their organisation Good Luck
Logan Wright
nice!
Owen Adams
If I'm 1/4 Italian does that make me part wog?
Jeremiah Green
Never heard of this before. Sometimes I get free bread from Vinnies though.
It makes you all wog, Stavros.
Daniel Morales
It certainly does. You're wog until about 1/16th. I should know, I'm half.
Carson Evans
This match will be a draw

I am ready to cop a bit of flack for this but if you think about it I feel Smith definitely played a better innings than Kohli despite scoring less runs. I saw a whole bunch of comments blow up after Smith got out that this was conclusive proof Kohli was better bc 12>8 but I feel there is much more to it than that, especially in the context of the game If you look from the perspective of what you want from your captain; a flashy player who is in for five overs, hits a couple of boundaries and then gets out in a knuckle headed leave then takes the selfish decision to review when obviously out? Or would you rather a captain who went out there and fought serious hard yards for every single one of his runs. Batted for 52 balls and soaked up a ton of pressure when India were bowling next to perfect on a pitch that was helping produce hand grenades then got out to some good bowling? He set the tone for the rest of the order to fight for there runs and protect their wicket with their life early on (except MMarsh lel). The difference this series so far has been one teams tendancy to crack under pressure and good bowling and the other teams grit to at least grind out a shit 30 to help the team. Seriously despite scoring less runs I know exactly who I would pick to lead my team 100 times out of 100

What will Sterc have to score to convince /cric/ he's an allrounder?
Wyatt Thompson
a century
Justin Baker
Starc out first over
Austin Ortiz
The WACA is on its way back, there was plenty of bounce during the South African test
Indian minefields make for results, but they tend to be so one sided that I don't think I'd call it good cricket. The best pitches are probably English ones in my opinion.
In the final scene of the film Being There, Chance the gardener walks on water. The meaning of that, though widely debated, is in the honesty of his ignorance he is able to do something impossible. Essentially, Chance walks on water because he has never thought about it enough to know he can't. Steve O'Keefe said of Matt Renshaw in the last Test that he didn't have the scar tissue of playing in Asia. For Renshaw, this is all marvellous; he looks as relaxed in the back of car smiling for the locals as he does out in the middle facing Umesh's testing reverse swing. In eight overs Umesh bowls five maidens, and goes for 14 runs, 12 of which are from the edge of Renshaw's bat. At one point, Umesh storms down the wicket to tell the batsman about it and Renshaw shrugs like a lovable doofus from a sit com. Renshaw's main scoring shot is through slips, and it is, for most of the morning, his only scoring shot. Whether it zips through Kohli's hand, or through the gap, Renshaw beams like he is just happy to be there. He bats as if uninterested in the outside world, while others fight and scrap.
Sebastian Hughes
I hate Jarrod Kimber
Nathan James
>comparing Chance the gardener to Renshit is he autistic?
Blake Adams
There won't be single game International game played at the WACA in the future. Possibly BBL but doubtful.
Colton Edwards
the ashes will thanks to delays on the stadium's bridge
Chase Rogers
they're homebabbies because they get absolutely rekt everywhere else
