Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 12, 2023 Paid Members Posted December 12, 2023 I'm willing to bet really good money that Stokes starts bowling spin in that series. They're bound to have something mad up their sleeves, Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted December 21, 2023 Paid Members Posted December 21, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/67785016 Tom Curran, and Sam for that matter are a pair of arrogant pricks. Tom getting a 4 game BBL ban for not doing as he is told and trying to intimidate the umpire is right on brand for him. Serves him right. Quote
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted December 21, 2023 Paid Members Posted December 21, 2023 Between playing for Surrey and referring to Somerset supporters as "peasants" after copping it at a t20 a few years back I've never been the biggest fan. Quote
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 25, 2024 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2024 Well today was fucking awful wasn't it? To top it off, it's TalkSport radio coverage and and they've assembled the Avengers for cunts. David Lloyd, Steve Harmison, Darren Gough, Kevin Pietersen, Alex Tudor and Gareth Batty. Rancid. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 25, 2024 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2024 Four front-line bowlers and two of them with one cap between them, just madness. Not even really much of a Bazball effort either. It was like watching Root's England again. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 25, 2024 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2024 Duckett in the post close of play interview claiming that England have got India where they want them and are in a good position. There's a fine line between positivity and delusion. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 26, 2024 Paid Members Posted January 26, 2024 And it turns out Ducky was on the side of delusional which is not a new thing for this forum I'll grant you, but it is for English cricket. England are 175 behind, India still have 3 first innings wickets left, the part time spinner Root has been the best bowler, and the pitch is showing signs of variable bounce. I bet the Indians can't believe what a terrible position England have got them in. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 26, 2024 Paid Members Posted January 26, 2024 Definitely a series where you're glad it's on in the middle of the night and you miss most of it. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 27, 2024 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2024 This is why Test cricket is the best. Pope was superb, Jasprit's reverse swing that got rid of Duckett and Root was phenomenal, you just don't get that in the shorter forms of the game. India must still be favourites but England have at least batted themselves into having a chance of winning when they looked to have none. Quote

Apparently not. Jesus H Christ on a bike and the 12 disciples on a 12 seater tandem that is remarkable. Quote

Just a few hours after West Indies B beat Australia as well, and with a fast bowler with a broken foot. Test cricket is the best thing in sport. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 28, 2024 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2024 The run out Stokes pulled off was some crazy shit, even for a guy who fields like he does. Hartley has some journey in this match as well. First ball hit for six, last ball to take 7 for and win the match. All of that without mentioning Pope and his stellar innings. I'm hoping to catches the Aussie v Windies highlights somewhere. That was also mad like you said. Quote
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 28, 2024 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2024 Amazing win. Seen this movie before though (3 years ago). I struggle to see any of the matches going to a draw given how the pitches are likely to be from this point in. If we can somehow take the next though... Hartley with the sort of second innings performance we've been dreaming of for a while. Of course Leach is injured. I am the biggest Jack Leach fan on earth but the lad is made from papier mache. If it's not Chron's then it's his leg. If it's not his leg then he's fallen over while going for a piss and cracked his skull open. My enjoyment of this all time great victory was hampered a bit by the commentary, which was every bit as shite as I feared. Whatever Darren Gough and Alex Tudor have, gravitas it is not. Quote

I don't mind Eoin Morgan but Ravi Shastri gets on my tits and his commentary always seems like he's been fed his lines by the BCCI like Vince McMahon used to feed Michael Cole his. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 28, 2024 Paid Members Posted January 28, 2024 They also handed out a lot of prizes at the end of the game. Had the feel of a kids sports day where everyone gets a prize. Also I don't know how much 1 Lakh is worth. Can anyone help me? Quote
