the saviour of english cricket edition
/cric/
Take the new ball please
Who would you pick as opener then?Burns?Hameed?Muscular Lyth?
whose this Clarke bloke
need six quick wickets
Some Saffer
Joe Clarke, division 2 Joe Root who can actually convert.
>Mulaarrrrrrn still hasn't brought his half century up
Pathetic.
Thirumavalavan Santhirasegaram reckons Shakib = Lara + Murali
doing exactly what we need him to do here
nvm just looked at browne's FC average and it is actually good. I thought he was some literally who
Cook
Hameed
Root
Clarke
Stokes
Bairstow
Ali
Toblerone jones
Broad
Anderson
Rashid/Crane
Don't like him, don't want him in Australia.One Saffer merc too many.

I think he's looked technically decent in this game, a lot better than he did in the SA series where he was falling over and nervous. he seems happy to sit in when required to. don't see a problem with him batting 5 in the ashes as of right now
Paid £5 for test cricket as a student. Life ain't all bad, lads.
>41 off 148
For what purpose?
>picking a bog standard trundler
Malan 87* (1098) in a historic draw
only get 27.50 as a student here absolute shit
love never converting half centuries
he was actually born in england and was raised in both england and south africa by all accounts far less of a merc than either trott or kp
If Dawid Malan were a city in the North of Italy, he'd be Dawid Genoa.
>Dawid Malan's father has the same name, but he isn't called Dawid Malan Jr
what the hell this is a real sport?
if Dawid malan were a patch of mown grass outside my house he'd be Dawid magarden
Yes, the stadium rotates on its axis every half hour.
Fug
yeah sucked in richo mate
I missed out on tickets for Boxing Day too
JUST
england would probably be all out and the game would be over by now if they would just fucking take their catches
what happened to australian cricket?
furious that england will win
If Dawid Malan was a fruit he'd be Dawid Apple.
poomunity
>patrick: "Bell was not great. Had one good series and constantly disappointed for the other 80 odd Tests."
>Oh come now ... three hundreds in a row against Pakistan 2006, Test turning efforts at Durban and Cape Town in 2009-10, double-hundred against India to take England to No.1 in the world 2011 ... he wasn't an all-time great but he was significantly better than most who've been called up by England... back in 30
Kek shut up Patrick mate
Stove shit has 40% brain function
generous
he's such a fucking mong, I've literally been saying this for four years and got mocked on /cric/ for it
One look at him and it's fairly obvious, especially when he was younger
Patrick btfo.
The drop in temperature has made Jason Colder
Odd choices of scores to mention
India were gash in that series
Alright Patrick, simmer down mate.
Don't expect Patrick to drop anymore """truthies""" on cricinfo in the future lads
new ball lads
roach on taking a quick six watch
praveen kumar was swinging bananas tho
I like bell, but why would you mention him scoring the second ton of the innings in durban over scoring 3 hundreds in an ashes series
baffling
A wicket would make Jason Bolder
>Roach to Malan, FOUR
loved that series
dravid being the only indian who turned up
cook's high score
broad hatrick
>Recalling le 1 50 all season man
What's a competitive score to set?
how did dravid go from being so elite that series to so abjectly pathetic just a couple of months later in Australia?
>broad hatrick*
ftfy
why hasn't root declared yet?
Shannon Gabriel looks a bit like Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.Looks a lot older than 29.
Already got enough. Poot just being a coward as usual and not declaring.
If it was wrong India would have reviewed it
think it through m8
was watching this shite at the pub
been drinking all day
was up 500 on the punt and came home with 100
paid 180 to get my ass eaten by a prozzie tho
good night
he has a very upright walk/run up and pushes his arse out + arches his back
he almost minces
Yes, very camp for such an imposing man.
Harbhajan still has the leather that his inside edge ripped off that ball
>you're now aware that series was the only time England have been no1 in the world for the past 40 years
>that was unironically England's golden era ft. Trott and Strauss
kek
KEK
Lads, when are >we calling up Jamie Overton.Genuine pace.But I worry he might be another Wood when he gets to this level.
what the fuck is roach even bowling? i don't want to hear any 2smart4u bullshit wtf is he doing?
Geography is against >us.
seventeen dimensional lawn tennis
>Strike Rate over 30
Why did no foreign cricketers play first class cricket in the Caribbean to prepare for the Windies when they were dominant?Foreigners always come to county cricket to practice playing in England.Also, why does no one play Ranji to prepare for India.
Money.
You could face the best of them in English conditions by playing county I guess
>Also, why does no one play Ranji to prepare for India.
You'd have to live in India.
complacency I guess, an example being the infamous greig interview
Is there even a system here for foreigners to come play? I don't know desu.
I mean even if there was one the pay would be shit and nobody would come anyways lol.
Yeah but going to the Caribbean was always the big tour.
not true, Matthew Hayden played a season there and Shaun Marsh almost did once
I don't think you understood my post.
50 (162)
a fifty straight out of the fifties there
no I don't think I did
fucking hate cricket I just want WI to win
Dogshit half century. Literally no reason to bat like that unless you're trying for a draw.
For me, it's GC "Hardus" Viljoen
>all these no balls
Disgusting desu.
Umpires should be disciplined for not calling these in all honesty. Disgraceful.
someone post that no ball compilation
This
Too bad this Reddit bowler is the only legitimate fast bowler "we" have
Just got in from work, have they taken the new ball yet?
yes
FFS they're going to make a lead of 300
Yeah, but by tea tomorrow.
Think >you'll still get a draw minimum.A pretty muscular one too, it has to be said.
Your trips enhance my dubs of truth friend
It's my birthday today lads
Why is it that when memehit players like Hales and Malan get selected for tests, they bat at a ridiculously slow strike rate?
how do you go from being right on top and a 1st innings lead of 170 to this?
a lot of them are slog or block players, either smash it to the boundary or defend. compare that to someone like root, who constantly rotates the strike so he keeps on scoring even when not hitting boundaries
>West Indies fielding
Same as Buttler.They have this idea that they have to think "like a test batsman" but in reality they've been called up to play their natural game.
