Sir Tarmo Kink Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Yeah the gammons will be seething if the white cricketer with a history of violence wins ahead of the black woman. A Kiwi cricketer that has a record of being a bit of a c**t winning will definitely bring out some gammon seethe from the public and journos. You’ll have negative stories of him everywhere, like what the British media likes to do to all their succesful sportspeople that don’t get in line and do everything perfectly. They were fucking seething when Tyson Fury was only nominated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 21 hours ago, Salvo Montalbano said: They aren't good despite all the hype. Shouldn't have won the World Cup in home conditions but got an incorrect umpiring call to take it to the Super Over, then should have lost a home Ashes series to a pretty poor Australia and but for Smith having to sit out one test and one great knock from Stokes (as well as an awful bit of Glovework by Paine missing the run out) would have lost convincingly. I'm not sure why a team is "unlucky" if they don't field properly. Their top batsman missed one match, and his replacement played well. England were unlucky with injuries with Anderson missing the whole series. A drawn series was about right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Buttler out injured so Pope takes the gloves and Crawley comes in to replace him. Jack Leach is dropped, Woakes replaces him. Correct call. I struggle to see how Leach gets back in this winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Denly and Root a bowl if the bowlers need a rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root chronically under bowls himself. He’s far better than a dibbly-dobbly Atherton bowler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor went the next ball after reaching his half ton though, edging Woakes to Root at slip. Stokes only bowled a couple of overs and appears to have a knee injury, England would probably be quite happy for the rain to come on with the Kiwis at 173-3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecast is pretty poor for days 4 and 5 so even this mob can scrape a draw. Meanwhile in Adelaide it's going to rain for circa 5 days which should mean Pakistan only lose by 9 wickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 It’s almost like cricket Australia don’t learn...Pucovski had a couple of breaks due to mental health but as soon as young green breaks through they mount as much pressure as is possible.

Sir Tarmo Kink Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 England had NZ 191/5 and now NZ are 308/5 and counting. Familiar story with Watling and the all-rounder with the 100+ partnership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
