Lets talk Cricket!!

[BigRAWesty]

I gather England lost again then? Have they won any?

We had a run Chase of 50 odd with 1 wicket in had. Faulkner smashed 69 off 47..
Unbelievable..

[MEGOMONSTER]

39294
Aussies in by a whisker.

[Clunk]

Wow that was close

[jack]

And also a record run chase for the Gabba to boot!

[fracster]

Sounded very exciting, at least we put up a fight in this one.

[93patrol]

Was great to actually watch the last 10 overs after knocking off from work

[Dhuck]

Was a great game. Few beers and yelling at the tv.

[threedogs]

Too long in between games for my liking.
can see how twenty/20 has influenced the 50 over game.
Scores of 300 were un heard of years ago

[fracster]

Another resounding defeat, this is getting beyond despair now, it is getting to be funny.

[kevin07]

39294
Aussies in by a whisker.

just back from holidays wooohooohahahah bloody awesome that wish I had of seen that

[threedogs]

looks like the English are batting well for a change, we'll see eh

[Avo]

looks like our batting is up 2sh!t....

[MEGOMONSTER]

Looks like a win coming up for England.

[BigRAWesty]

They finally got one..

[Clunk]

One what ;):D

[fracster]

Yeah, that shows you lot who the best team in the world are...............:wink:

[Clunk]

Azerbaijan??????

[fracster]

Do you never sleep mate?

[Clunk]

Only when the cricket is on :D

[threedogs]

England outplayed us, we need to pull our heads in we have only beaten England, now they have beaten us. wait till we beat India or south Africa
We have nothing to measure us against ATM

[BigRAWesty]

Tis true. I think we need to lap up these wins. I have a feeling we're going to be in the poms boots when in south Africa..
(that's were their heading isn't it??)

[BigRAWesty]

So who is watching this match.
It's coming down to the wire..
Could go either way..

[BigRAWesty]

What a game.. What a bloody game!!!

[93patrol]

Deadset didn't think australia was gonna win that game even when we were batting but bloody hell they came back hard and got the win. Great job guys

[fracster]

Another defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.

We really should have won that match, but kinda sums this team up that we engineered a way to lose it.

[threedogs]

don't think the Aussies played well enough to win,
just think England found a new way to lose

[FNQGU]

The bowling in the last few overs was spot on though. Got to give them credit for that.

No doubt England should have won that one, but just don't seem able to win at the moment.

Spot on. Once again the tail end wins us the game..

[threedogs]

See the English have no need for Peterson so much for riding on coat tails

[93patrol]

i think his and Broads egos were to much for the rest of the English camp to cope with so they got rid Peterson because he wasn't making runs on the boards

[Avo]

apparently Peterson has been the rot ion the team for a long time.When swan retired he actually said"they can't make me wear the cap anymore",alot of the team had had enough.they have kept in on amondst complaints because of his runs and ability to make them...But I suppose the time has come and they need to do something...heard comments the other day about him and our Warnie and they say that atleast Warne play as a member of the team on the field and not so for this fella Peterson.....Oh all them long hours in the tractor listening to ABC southwest...

[kevin07]

Peterson is a pr#ck no doubt but they had to find a goat somewhere so starting with one of the imports is probably the best way start getting back on track.

[fracster]

One thing our thrashing over there has shown, is that we need a clear out, not just playing staff either. Get rid of some of the bullshitting hangers on like travel assistants, food tasters and the rest of the leeching wretches.

KP has had his time, yep, he is a great run scorer,at times, but there appears to be lots of bad feeling in the camp. He is not alone though, Monty should never play again, he could not catch a beach ball from 5 feet away, others need to look long and hard at themselves as well.

But these things go in cycles, we`ll have a crap time then get better, same as you lot have done very recently.

[threedogs]

agree what you say it comes in circles, as for Monty rlmfao a few years back watching him return the ball from the outer.
My mates sister can throw further than him. Suppose they have the IPL to fall back on for a year or so for some extra cash

monty got 6 for on the weekend how good is he

[threedogs]

Monty can't bat , can't throw

[Maxhead]

Looks like the Aussies are in total control of the 1st test in SA :) Johnson 7 for 68...not bad:)
Marsh, Smith and Warner all got 100s
so far 480 in front and 2 days to go

[kevin07]

interesting to say the least a quick flogging tonight and declare before lunch and then see how we go

[Drewboyaus]

Bloody South Africans folded almost quicker than the English!
That said, that was a rubbish cricket pitch and facing Johnson on that deck......no thank you sir. 150km an hour with no certainty of the bounce.....no wonder a few of them got hit!

[fracster]

hmmmmmmmmmm (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/88541)

[BigRAWesty]

Yep. Happens every time.
They lure us in with an easy win and then walk over us 4-1..

[fracster]

Two decent teams playing each other there mate, difficult one to call to be honest.

[BigRAWesty]

Yes I think pitch foresight and picking a team to suit the conditions is what will make or break the game..

[kevin07]

well that was a bit of a let down

[PMC]

Farkkkk, brought back to reality farken real quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about being pineappled. ( The art of pineapples shoved up one's arse and then suddenly removed quickly) lol

Regards,

RLI

[kevin07]

ouch......

[fracster]

World 20-20 isn`t going to well...................:oops:

[Maxhead]

World 20-20 isn`t going to well...................:oops:


We won't talk about that now, will we...LOL

[threedogs]

sorry love my sport but twenty/20 is not my cup of tea.
Looks like a grab for cash to counter the IPL

[threedogs]

World 20-20 isn`t going to well...................:oops:

The Netherlands beat England WOW

Understatement or what!!

[fracster]

Yeah well, we got as far as you lot.............:hpfredgeorge1:

[kevin07]

Yeah well, we got as far as you lot.............:hpfredgeorge1:

difference being ade ours is a shock the poms is not and at the end of the day its not test cricket me personally that's the only one im interested in.kev

[kevin07]

young aussie inflicting some more pain on the poms. have to write this my son is in England playing cricket for hagley for the season. so any way last week he unleashed the beast. actually what he done he went crazy on them. his score 218 not out from 106 deliveries and his 200 came from 101 deliveries. this I believe is a world record so far I have not been able to find a quicker 1. this score included 28 fours and 10 sixes. get that 1 into you ye old muckas another pommy flogging. kev

[fracster]

Glad to read the young man is doing well Kev, trust he is settled and enjoying himself?

[kevin07]

yeh ade settled well scored a quick 63 off 38 this week so I think now that's 3 50s 2 tons and 1 double about halfway through been a lot of rain though

[fracster]

Glad that he is doing well and wish him every success mate.

Cook actually scored some runs today,95. He is a good batsman and hope he is coming out of a bad place now. Problem I see for the next ashes is that we don`t seem to have any decent bowlers at the minute,dunno if Broad and Anderson are carrying knocks. Also, we have no decent spin bowler,that will need addressing before the next ashes series.

[kevin07]

yeh agreed the poms for a long time now implode on themselves. what I see they are lacking is someone with genuine attitude problem with other countries to lead the way stokes has attitude but he stills needs someone to look to and cook is just a nice bloke. as we say here ade is gotta get someone with c#%t in them to fire the team.

[fracster]

Bloody hell.......England win a test series............shocker.

[Clunk]

Who we're thy playing? Girl Guides?

[fracster]

Oh dear, another thrashing at the hands of the Aussies.

[Avo]

they gave the game away fractster,and Maxwell and marsh did an awesome job for us,,then not to mention our bowlers..

[TPC]

Oh dear, another thrashing at the hands of the Aussies.

Not really surprised are you?

[threedogs]

Another day in the office, hopefully the winning will continue into the World cup
TBH I dont think either side were brilliant, heaps of room for improvement
Couldnt say who is the team to watch , a bit worried

[Family4x4]

Surely starting this thread has taught fracster all about regret.

[threedogs]

So true when the word Fracster comes up cricket is not the word I associate with him
Awesome pics of Red Sqirrell and owls yes sadly cricket no. lol

@ Family go back through this thread and check a video of Fracster
driving down a stone lined road out in the country best video ever lol

[threedogs]

Oh dear, another thrashing at the hands of the Aussies.

and seems you can predict the future.lol
But early days yet

[fracster]

Cant see us scoring 343 mate.
and seems you can predict the future.lol
But early days yet

[fracster]

66 for 4, business as usual I see........:wink:

[fracster]

Fiddlesticks.....another resounding ass kicking.

[kevin07]

congrats on the 1000 posts ade shame its about a good ol pommy flogging

[fracster]

[Avo]

it's OK fracky,you can come live over here if ya want...

[the evil twin]

I actually liked that English Bowlers economy rate of 4.7 runs... per ball.

Maybe they need to drop England and put a team in from Norfolk Island

[Punderhead]

Don't you hate it when England sucks so bad that the entire game is less than 50 overs....

[Avo]

One thing for certain mate, you will sure hear from me if we win both..................:biggrin:

still waiting..lol....post # 20

[Maxhead]

I hate cricket when we get balled out for 150:(

[Maxhead]

Especially when its aainst NZ

[jay see]

Go Aussies....

[Maxhead]

If Starc had of finished with 7 for he would have been PM of Australia by lunchtime Monday.

[kevin07]

If Starc had of finished with 7 for he would have been PM of Australia by lunchtime Monday.

all I can say is wasim akram has done an amazing job on starc he was finished a few months ago would not have been selected until injury to Johnson then in comes akram and we have a new starc

[Drewboyaus]

Johnson was very average today.

Thanks Sri Lanka!! You just made yesterday a whole lot easier to swallow!

[fracster]

Jeez, if we get beat today, it really is time for some major changes,sackings,beatings....whatever.

[Punderhead]

To be edged out of top 4 is one thing, to be edged out by Bangladesh is another.

[Punderhead]

I'm tipping New Zealand to win. They are in good form this season!

[fracster]

Indeed, Broad may save the day,who knows...............

[Punderhead]

.............Bollocks,bollocks,bollocks. Ah well, at least I won`t have to suffer listening to that incompetent lot again in the world cup,bloody disgraceful performance.

I have to say I have been disappointed in many of England's recent performances. As a team that was so good, they have fallen a long way in the last year.

Shame really, because while I sport Aussies all the way, England's always been the team I support in every non Aussie game.

[Punderhead]

Indeed, Broad may save the day,who knows...............

About the only decent player they sill have...

ah rippa clunk that's tops

[threedogs]

Time to get rid of the old school tie brigade and get some guys with bottle into the coaching set up.
the English to me rely to much on tradition, might need someone like Beefy coaching them, If the players respect the coack ala Leahman
the team will perform, not saying the Aussie will win but will be close with maybe sth Africa, we'll see

[Punderhead]

ah bollocks if your an aussie you do anything to slag the pommie cricket team

Can't argue with that logic!

[fracster]

Like him or loathe him, Boycott talks sense:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/31872862

[kevin07]

loathe him yes but you know hes a pom cricketer but earnt the right to say things about the current team. by standing tall

[threedogs]

another easy win for Australia over Scotland, read nothing into the victory, just text book innings

[Punderhead]

Nz through to the World Cup finals after a close game with sa. Hopefully Aus will beat the Indians for an Aus/nz final.

I'm just gunna leave this here aswell.
Cheers!

[Maxhead]

Bloody Hell, South Africa should have won that game but yet again farked it!!

[Punderhead]

Bloody Hell, South Africa should have won that game but yet again farked it!!

I don't think nz were at there best this game, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were to win the cup. The team has been in quite good form recently, and they are putting in fairly solid and consistent performances.

I don't think they are the best team, just the most consistent.

Cheers

[kevin07]

well they have all these batters that can all score quickly and 4 world class bowlers they are the favorites to win im pssed though my son told me to back them before the cup started

[threedogs]

that Duckworth lewis system usually helps the team batting first,
but with the advent of 20/twenty cricket a player can now score
many more runs than before, just look at the totals some teams
and individual players are getting, who scores 230 odd in a 50 game over

[macca]

Years ago scores of 300 were common, then the expected score fell quite dramatically.
With these IPL, Twenty/20, Big Bash etc the batsmen have their confidence back and skill levels have increased dramatically.
Don't remember so many 4's and especially 6's scored like today.
We certainly have exiting cricket now, really enjoy it.

[jack]

Just wondering how well NZ will play on an adult sized ground?
Massive choke by RSA again.

[Punderhead]

Just wondering how well NZ will play on an adult sized ground? Massive choke by RSA again.

Yep. Should it be an aus/nz final, I think the home ground should tip it in favour of the Aussies, although nz have the fact that they beat Aus last time they faced them, and they haven't lost a single game in the World Cup.

Hoping for the Aussies and the kiwis to battle it out. Would be a good game!

Blood oath, couldn't stand to watch the Indian antics. There a precious bunch of ah's

At least they have to use the Drs like everyone else for the cup!

[Punderhead]

Don't wanna jinx it, but the Aussies are in a good position!

[TPC]

Go Aussies, Woo Hoo.

[BigRAWesty]

Was a good game.

[macca]

Sheesh, did the Indians turn up. No sledging, no batting what the hell happened?

Dhoni belted a couple of good boundaries then stupidly run out, didn't even try to slide in, smacks of a betting scandal.

An Aussie Kiwi final, be a good game.

Didn't he. Was the laziest run between wickets I've seen. Either didn't see it being thrown, or was really backing it to miss the wickets.

[threedogs]

I thought the turning point was the Dhoni run out,
At least against the KIWIs it will be a belter of a match
and we all love the KIWIs eh bud kiora
Will the Indians return home to burnt out houses

[macca]

Didn't he. Was the laziest run between wickets I've seen. Either didn't see it being thrown, or was really backing it to miss the wickets.

There were a few wild throws that passed the wicket to the other side before that run out, maybe it was a ruse to set them up when a good throw would be effective.

Was a bloody good shot though.

For sure. Dam near side on.

I think the commentator said in the replay he only had 1 1/2 stumps to hit.
but they practice it all the time like the return hit to the bowler ,Our skill level
it up there

Final should be a cracker, wouldn`t bet a penny on the outcome.

Haven't you seen what happens to the team he supports!!!! Become a kiwi for the weekend. Tip it in the Aussies favour!

Gonna be a very interesting match.
I have a feeling it's going over the ditch. Lol

Gonna be a very interesting match. I have a feeling it's going over the ditch. Lol

One would hope not. Gunna be close that's the only thing that is guaranteed!!

When the Aussies bowl the first ball should be a underarm bowl, just to piss them off a little.

Not allowed anymore. Plus I would hope our current crop would be more sportsmanlike than that.

[Punderhead]

184 for the Aussies to win! Bring it on

[Punderhead]

Don't think Johnson was too happy getting hit for 6 by southee though!

[the evil twin]

Don't think Johnson was too happy getting hit for 6 by southee though!

Agree... but exactly what we want
Angry super quicks are awesome to watch.
I reckon the Radounikis approach is best, take 'em in the dunny just before the game starts, belt 'em around the chops a few times then push 'em out the change room door and throw 'em the ball

[Punderhead]

[QUOTE="the evil twin;592114"] Agree... but exactly what we want Angry super quicks are awesome to watch. /QUOTE]

Can't argue with that. And Johnson is definitely no exception!

[Punderhead]

Someone, I need running commentary! Or else I'll just go in crick buzz. What a day for the tv to go on the flick :(

[the evil twin]

snip... Someone, I need running commentary! :(

The bowlers are running in,
The batsmen are running between wickets
The fieldsmen are running after the ball
The 12th men are running drinks
The umpires aren't doing any running at all

Happy?

PS... we are giving them a flogging at the moment, won't even need 40 overs at this rate

Soccer, rugby and cricket. Oh well I can give it the my manager tonight at work, that's if he shows up.

What a game though! Well played. Only dilemma was Haddins go at old mate when he was out. Poor form.

But well played for the Aussies!

[Punderhead]

Oh and well done to Starc man of the tournament. 22 wickets taken, tied first with boult!

[threedogs]

He said thirsty heaps of time, who cares we won they lost lol

[threedogs]

We haven't won on English soil for 14 odd years.
Do we have a side that can win , I'm not sure .
We beat England last time 5-1 , lets hope
history can repeat itself, poor Adrian he he

Make that 4-1 and on home soil

[Maxhead]

We beat England last time 5-1



Interesting ??

[threedogs]

OOHHHhhhh its too early,

Had to get it finally was thinking I'd throw up 3-2 just for the hell of it.
But 5-1 was what the channel 9 guy said , I even told my missus they dont play 6 tests
Med first next time lol

[fracster]

I`m not confident of winning a test against you lot this summer. But who knows. we may find a decent spinner and our bowling attack may buck up.

One day series against NZ has been great entertainment, both sides playing good exciting cricket.

Still, Aus are a different proposition.

[threedogs]

Hi Adrian this morning Broad was mouthing off about us. He is not very intimidating in my books
never the less he started it so there lol

[threedogs]

A big thanks to Ryan Harris, bummer an injury had to end his career , and just before the Ashes too.
His stats from 27 tests equals D.K.lillee and Glenn McGarth. Two thumbs up to a great player.

[fracster]

Well, here goes..........................

[threedogs]

Well, here goes..........................

Let the games begin,,,,,,,, How confident are you.
Its been 15 years ,your mob has a good track record at home.
But,,,,,,,,I think we can beat the English on home soil just like William Wallace, lol

[fracster]

Thank Gawd for Root and Stokes, Ballance did ok, pitch looks flat as a bloody pancake.

What has happened to Johnson? Looks off form today.

[threedogs]

Didnt Beefy ask the curators to put some bounce in the wicket for you guys.
Not bad for day one.

[gubigfish]

Our bowling attack looks fragile at the moment, might just be nerves and I hope it is, hopefully we rip through the tail tonight and can get a good score on the board.

[threedogs]

Last week was warm in the UK,,, whats the outlook for the next week
No good deciding a test because of the weather

[fracster]

Only way of knowing what the weather is doing over here, with any degree of accuracy, is to walk out the door and have a look mate. I`m thinking this has the makings of a good tight contest for a change,lets hope so.

You guys aren`t still bitter about him not walking are you?

Plenty of Aussie cricketers would not have walked either, let it go mate...................:harhar:

Sounds like Melbourne weather lol
Predictable 2 days of play with each team "feeling " each other out,
give it a few more tests and you'll see the trash talk start.

[threedogs]

Have to agree twenty/20 has changed the way we bat these days.
All you need do is look at the bats with 50 mm edges. IMO batting is an art
not just a slog and see. call me old fashion but 20/20 has ruined the game
IPL have a lot to answer to.

[Maxhead]

It;s bloody hard to get ball by ball on the internet without any delays...any one go goos suggestions??
1/49 atm

Thanks Fracster, its not worth watching anyways ...hahaha
Poms 1 - Aussies 0

We better wake up for the next one :)

[TPC]

I thought the poms could not play cricket.
At least Mitch got to have some fun.

[threedogs]

We are playing "soft" cricket, wheres the eye of the tiger attitude.
Cant see us retaining the Ashes the English want it more.
Our blokes have put off retirement to play, whats that about.
England 1 Aust 0 and deservedly so.

[kevin07]

kevs in hiding adel

[fracster]

Kev, Kev, where are you mate?

im hiding from you cant you read

[gubigfish]

Hopefully they sort themselves out for Thursday, be interesting to see if any changes are made.

[threedogs]

They need to make big changes IMO, cant win with what they have now.
Have you seen the headlines over there, GGRRrrrrrrr,And we deserved them

[gubigfish]

Apparently Haddin is out for personal reasons guess we will find out tomorrow night who if anyone was dropped. Good news is Starc is apparently bowling well during training so hopefully get is OK to survive the full 5 days if it goes that long.

[threedogs]

Yeah Brads daughter is very crook ATM, thoughts with his family
seems Watson is dropped, hope it was nothing to do with his missus.
Weather didnt look too flash but maybe Adrian can shed some light on it?

[TPC]

Happy to see Watson go, he fails way to often.

[TheFlyingBadger]

good article on Watto..

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2015/jul/14/australia-cricket-dont-cry-for-shane-watson

[Maxhead]

Pretty good start by the Aussies, Warner bit slow but starting to get his eye in. 0/68 and going around 5 an over

Hopefully they can keep this up :)

[TPC]

1 for 151 looks a bit better, keep it up guys.

[93patrol]

Come on rogers get the ton.

[fracster]

Been at work, appears they both got dropped earlier in the innings. Costly errors.

[Maxhead]

Warner still thinks every game is a 20/20, what a stupid shot! Anderson needs to go to specsavers so he can see where he's running....LOL

[kevin07]

good to see cook is having another nervous ending.

[threedogs]

1 for 330 odd now whats next all out for 400 ?
Well done on the double ton to Smith and Rodgers

[gubigfish]

Awesome spell of fast bowling in that last session by the Aussies, need to get rid of Root cheaply tonight.

[fracster]

Oh bollocks........*slinks off*

[gubigfish]

Shes a long series Fracster this will be a close one I reckon

[fracster]

This one could more than likely end up rained off mate. Shocking weather about over here.

well here it is poms its man up time. they better go out there to try and win otherwise it will be over today

[fracster]

After a slight hiccup in Cardiff, depressingly, normal service is resumed.

How can you bat so poorly on such a good wicket? And WTF was Stokes doing not running his bat in?...bloody idiots.

[gubigfish]

you must have been aving a laugh over the weather, only thing that would have saved England.

[kevin07]

oops that was rather meek

[fracster]

Meek? Bloody pathetic Kev, absolutely shocking.
oops that was rather meek

[kevin07]

love it 2 more wins to be 3-1 by series end

[Maxhead]

And WTF was Stokes doing not running his bat in?...bloody idiots.


Just seen the replay...bwahahahah bloody classic

[threedogs]

one all , that was a near perfect game from the Aussies.
I feel rain will affect some results

[Maxhead]

I feel rain will affect some results

Yep, I reckon someone will score 50 runs as well...lol

[james008]

Yep, I reckon someone will score 50 runs as well...lol
If the Poms try hard enough, they could probably manage that between them. :)

[fracster]

5 for 82....,,blimey.

[fracster]

7 for 99 rain stopped play.

Dread to think how our fragile top six will fair when aus bowl.

[fracster]

An England type batting disaster by Australia, how very odd.

And amusing......

That was appalling.

Super bowling from the poms.
Prediction. Eng make 450 runs.

[Maxhead]

I reckon they'll be out for 140, you know what they're like...bwahaha

Nah seriously, you would expect a lot better performance from world class batsman even with some seriously good bowling. Anderson 6/47..not bad

[fracster]

Where is Kev?.......kev, where fore art thou......

Tomorrow could be interesting. Did not watch live due to work, just seen the highlights, jimmy was superb.

[kevin07]

don't worry ade im here I think the start of day 2 will be interesting prediction poms to make 195

[fracster]

Crate of beer on it?...........:1062:
