The All New Cricket Thread!

[CharlesTuckerTheThird]

Where do you guys watch Cricket? I've been thinking of giving 20/20 a go because my tiny rodent brain doesn't have the attention span for full games!

[JNLister]

You need to watch this at least twice, once for the batters and once for the fielders.

I would be interested in the betting patterns of USA's win over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. 

[Devon Malcolm]

Pakistan definitely winning it now.

"Shit, we're still one down for Saturday. Jimmy, you got any mates could fill in?"

"Nah, they're all busy. If we're desperate, I could get my sister?"

My absolutely favourite dismissal has occurred in the Netherlands v Saffers match. Quinton de Kock run out without facing a ball. You see it occasionally but that the first time I've seen it off the first ball of an innings. Absolute carnage.

England trying to emulate their 50 overs defence in the T20.

I stand by my earlier post and am now questioning Dev. It's a big bet on themselves at this point isn't it. 

[Max Power]

Yesterday, I had lovely figures of 3-25 off 11 overs.

I finished with figures of 3-53 off 11.5 overs.

Thought you all needed to know.

That is harsh buddy.

It started so well. 
 

What happened? Are you ok to talk about it ?

Oh absolutely, I'm far too old to get hung up about cricket these days. 

Basically, we were defending 172 and the opposition were 150-5. Their number 7 decided to swing from the arse and my 12th over went 6, 4, 6, 6, 6.

Incredible hitting really. I've never sunk a pint as fast.

You think you have problems Max. Ollie Robinson has just gone for 43 in an over and as I type he has bowled 14 overs for 66.

Yes I saw that earlier - funnily enough I've been keeping an eye out for such events.

Dan Lawrence took Bashir to the cleaners earlier in the week too. 28 off 5 doesn't seem worth it now.

[Devon Malcolm]

Here's that Ollie Robinson over. Just keeping banging it in halfway down, Ollie, that's definitely working.
