The New Cricket Thread

It’s already over in my opinion.

 

Hard to chase down on 4th innings at the Gabba mate, highest is 236 or something like that, most thereafter are between 170-200. Have to get the runs on the board first like, and being 5 down is not ideal, but you never know.

We’re effectively 93/5.

 

I have no faith whatsoever in this tail.

Missed the Root wicket.

Went for a piss and realised I’d left my keys in the office.

Had to wake up the other sleep in staff two o’clock in the morning to borrow her keys so I could let myself back in the office.

 

She was not impressed!

True, but even they can wag at times. Mostly rests on Ali and hope that Bairstow and then Woakes can hit a few and aid Ali to a decent score, even if they just spend time at the crease.

Fuck her. I don't mean that literally Col......

If I wasn’t watching the cricket I’d have gone downstairs and slept on the sofa.

 

I was straight up stairs banging on her bedroom door.

Hahaha, you owe her one now. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Ali going for it.

My stream is pissing about now and has been frozen for ages.

I know this will result in him getting out, but has there been a better stroke player for England than Moeen Ali in recent times? Thinking maybe Bell or Trescothick were the closest?

When he has his eye in he is ace.

The site is blocked on the works PC, thanks anyway though mate. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Damn. Hope you find one mate. 

[lifetime fan]

Have one that’s working okish at the moment.

 

If this fucks about I’ll just hit the sack, start work at 7.

[lifetime fan]

Ali gone?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Fuck off, not sure how they can give that out, even a cm behind the line is OK and that was not conclusive. 

[lifetime fan]

Ali out.

 

Time for bed!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Ali gone?

 

Yeah, but it wan't out imo. 

[lifetime fan]

Popping crease didn’t even look straight to me.

It isn't. I suppose if it was the other way around we'd be saying you get that luck, but in all honesty it was too hard to say if any part of his boot was behind the line. In that situation it can't be given out, or shouldn't have been. 

[lifetime fan]

Well there was no benefit of the doubt to the batsman.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Woakes gone now. 7 down and the lead is 158. Interesting lead but we need to try and eek out a 200 lead to make things interesting. Be hard now. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Bairstow out now, 168 lead for 8 down. Hung is bat out to yet another short ball. 

[s(k)aturation]

Oh well, we'll have a pretty fair idea by stumps tonight, I'd say, which way the game will go.
