The New Cricket Thread

[s(k)aturation]

It's all a bit of a mess mate. 

 

Lots of greedy cunts on both sides of the fence, pretending to have "grass roots cricket" at heart.

150 coming up for him.

 

I hope so, a 100 will nice considering the start we have had. Looks a good pitch to bat on once that new ball starts to fade.

Indeed, all brought about by T20 and the money what can now be made.

Bairstow gone for 10, 76/4. Philander gets another wicket, the shit cunt. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

82/4 at Lunch, Saffers session and then some. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Half century for Rooooooooooooooooooooooot. Eng 129/4.

Saffas spunk a review.

How the fuck is that a fair delivery?

That ruling on reviewing a wicket and a no ball is a fucking joke.

It was a no ball, plain as fucking day to see there was no part of his boot behind the line. That third umpire is fucking blind, thankfully it only cost SA a review and not Root his wicket.

You could hear him say he was giving the benefit of the doubt to the bowler. Err, you're a fucking qualified umpire, the line is the umpires dickhead.

 

Did you hear Nasser's thing about the review?

Stokes 50 - for the second time.

Stokes and Root are so good in the middle order if they get a partnership going after a shitty top order collapse, not the first time they have done this.

They/we have form.

Got my youngest son's junior school leaving party in an hour, gonna miss the rest of today's play. Livescore it is.

 

Plus Saturday I have friends coming over for a BBQ/Piss up, so I'll only be able to watch the first session. Sunday it's the Mother in Law's birthday so I'll miss more or less the whole day. Fuck socks. 

[lifetime fan]

Fucks sake. Stokes gone.

Root century in first innings as captain.

[lifetime fan]

How many lives is Root going to have?

[lifetime fan]

Hahahahahahaha

 

Again!

[Total Longo]

Root is pure class. 

[lifetime fan]

Root on fire.

[Yozzer]

Bit mystified why Philander has only bowled about 13 overs, must be extremely unfit for this one. Without Steyn, this attack seems fairly innocuous once you get past the opening 20 overs - although a belter of Lords pitch doesn't help them.*

 

*Awaits an almighty English batting collapse for the rest of the series.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Well that all finished rather well for Day 1.
