Lets talk Cricket!!

[fracster]

Weird test match though Kev, Anderson could be out for the next two. Interesting times ahead.

[threedogs]

Thread title says "lets talk cricket" Id rather not.
Whats with trying to win a 5 day game on the first day.
Gone are the days of Boycott and Taverey blocking for
hours on end. Im blaming 20/twenty for this plus they shouldnt be allowed those
bats with the 50mm edges, save them for the short game.
Cricket for the purist is over, Im sure the members of the MCC over there agree
Oh and pray for rain and lots of it lol

Need a 100 or more from the tail.

[kevin07]

still confident hundred and fifty more

[gubigfish]

there we go over in 3 days. Lot of Aussie batsmen need to have a long hard think before the next test.

[threedogs]

and the "fat lady" was English GGRRRrrrrrrrrrr

[Maxhead]

The thread is "Let's talk cricket", I say I'd rather not! LOL

Bloody disgraceful performance by the Aussies..........................

Funny that. Looking at the title I was thinking the same.

[threedogs]

Is this the end of Haddin????.
I think he still has plenty to offer.
Still blaiming 20/twenty and fat bats!!

[fracster]

Do you guys think Clarke will drop down the order? His form is shocking at the moment.

[Maxhead]

Is this the end of Haddin????.

Can't catch and can't bat. The writing's on the wall...LOL


Do you guys think Clarke will drop down the order? His form is shocking at the moment.


He'd me mad not to. His best betting has been in number 5 and since going up a spot he has struggled. They need to change something that's for sure

[fracster]

All out for 60. See how we go this afternoon.

[Clunk]

You chaps are very quiet on here this year, couldn't shut you up last year

[jay see]

The highest score was apparently the extras. Followed by Johnson with 1 less at 13. WTF.

[threedogs]

Shite even Ive made 60 in the Aberfeldie Park C side.
Fat bats chasing wide deliveries, let there be rain and rain and rain lol

[jay see]

Too funny John....

[threedogs]

Too early eh, thats Australia's best 12
Clarkey didnt disappoint second top score so he's safe.
Well done to S.Broad 8-13 got to be happy with that. GGRRrrrrrrrrr

Darren Lehmann: Not selecting cricketers a mistake

Australian head coach Darren Lehmann has conceded not selecting any cricketers contributed to Australia’s disastrous first innings at Trent Bridge.

“Hindsight is 20/20 but a score of 60 runs all out suggests selecting some people with a working knowledge of a cricket bat would have been beneficial.”

Cricket Australia have put out a call to any Australians currently in England who have played cricket at any level to make themselves known.

“We’re looking for anyone who’s ever held a cricket bat in anger. Beach cricket, kanga cricket, backyard cricket, Crown & Andrews Test Match,” said Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland.

“Anyone who knows the difference between the handle to the other end of the bat really.

“People who have shown a history of trying and not surrendering the minute things are tough would be nice too.”

Lehmann says he takes full responsibility for not selecting cricketers and admits it’s embarrassing that he contributed to Stuart Broad looking good.

“I understand that to Australians, Stuart Broad’s happiness is the salt in the gaping wound and for that I offer an unreserved apology.”

However, Captain Michael Clarke said being an Australian batsman at the moment is nice work if you can get it.

“I wouldn’t call it work. It’s more like collecting millions of dollars for a brief public appearance.”

“Now that runs aren’t an essential criteria for the job, it opens up being an Australian cricketer as a career for millions of people.”

Australian cricket fan Sara Thomas said the Australian team should donate their salaries to all the alcohol she’ll need to try to forget this indelible stain on Australia’s soul.

[threedogs]

My son won the under 12s batting association with an average of 65, too bad hes 28 now
Seems Boof and Clarkey dont see eye to eye,

[threedogs]

Well the fat lady is singing and she is English, this must be the worst Ashes team ever
as said by the comicbook store guy. Bloody hell what a dismal effort, still blaming the 20/twenty
and those fat bats, what hard about making a 5 day game last 5 days. I still find it hard that they want to finish it in three
Ive conceeded well done Adrian till we meet next time, with fater bats lolGGRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Punderhead]

As much as I hate to put it up here.....

[Clunk]

So whats the score then, I haven't been taking notice, 2-1 or 3-1

[threedogs]

I'd think the later unless it rains all next week.
Big bats and Ego's to match

[Bob]

wheres the ANZAC never say die attitude,
great pic Tuppa says it all pml
how hard can it be, close eyes and hit it hard

[threedogs]

Nothing wrong with a porn stash.
Only three more wickets, what a pack of girls
if it was footy Id say too much hair product.
Thrree cheers to England, even little George could bat better

Said it all along 20/twenty and fat bats have ruined test cricket forever.
I think they need to make a rule about the size of bats used
so you are forced to play shots. It will never happen so I will say it
and be on record as saying, TEST CRICKET IS DEAD, there I said it
I'll only watch the ODI's now GGRRrrrrrrrrrrr

[Maxhead]

Thats the problem, thats what the aussies are doing. This is Test cricket, not 20/20.

Agree Tuppas pic is a classic. Should be emailed straight to the aussie changerooms with a message to play like men. This is not fancy pants IPL pyjama hyjinks where nobody gives a toss who wins or loses, so long as its flashy and exciting; but hard and gritty Test cricket where courage, determination and strategy are required and the respect of cricket fans (Australian and English) are won or lost.

Unfortunately for Australian fans our team has been neither tough nor gritty and is being mocked. Toughen up, have some pride and play like a warrior. This is not slap and giggle.

To date i have had the highest regard for Clarke's captaincy. He is an excellent strategist (imo better than Ponting and Waugh, akin to Tubby Taylor) but something's not quite right at base camp and it's showing through.

I say moustaches be made mandatory for inclusion in the team! Bring back tough!

Well said mate, 100 % agree

[Maxhead]

OK, lets nude up...lol

[threedogs]

He [Clarkey] wasnt pushed he sat down with the Missus and decided after the last test to hang up his bat.
And if you believe that you'll believe anything. Just think if he makes a ton at Lords he he he the mind boggles

[TPC]

I say moustaches be made mandatory for inclusion in the team! Bring back tough!

That is the problem, not enough moustaches. They should all be made to grow one and they should be made to drink 52 beers on the flight over to England in preparation.

[fracster]

Dreadful shot selection by the majority of the Aussie batsmen. Playing at balls that they didn`t need to,trying to score quickly,especially in the first innings. I reckon there are behind the scene turmoils going on.

England played well in the last test, but why did Aus bat the way they did? Dreadful performance by the batsmen, truly pitiful.

[threedogs]

If memory serves me right, Johnson had a shocking tour last time the Ashes were in England, but grew a massive handlebar for the next series in Oz and set about tearing the poms new ones, multiple times, to lead the Aussies to a 5-0 whitewash. That, right there, is scientific, peer-reviewed and undeniable proof of the majestic power of the lip lizard!

Boony, Border, Big Merv, Chapple, Marsh, Lillee. All legends, all would not be seen dead with a fluffy duck in hand or a diamond stud in both ears. Blokes we looked up to as kids and dreamt of being as rugged, mean and gritty as they were. The pure essence of tough and formidable.

Yes, my fellow Australians, it is time for a revolution! No player can be selected to play cricket for this country without a hairy upper lip. The bigger it is, the higher their pay and biggest mo gets captaincy!! With this action plan in place we are guaranteed to win the next 5-test series at least 7-0, maybe even more!

Dont think Smitty can grow facial hair yet lol

Thats exactly it Fracster all the batsmen bar Rogers gave their wicket away, the bowlers never had a chance as there was no total of substance on the board. Be interesting what happens in this 5th Test even though its all over.

[fracster]

I`m not the gloating type at all guys. I remember when we were as bad last time down there. Team games go in circles, Aus will be strong again, just not with this team.

Not sure of Clarke retiring is correct. Cook was in a similar position and worked through it. You have to respect Clarkes decision,but I think the team need him.

[Clunk]

Cricket Australia - sponsored by Immodium......... Stops you from getting the runs

[MEGOMONSTER]

Yeayyyyyyyyy...........We made 10 overs with no wickets lost.

[Punderhead]

Yeayyyyyyyyy...........We made 10 overs with no wickets lost.

I don't care if we win or lose, I just want us to make it a full 5 day test for a change. Make the bowlers work for their wickets, even if it means you have to work for your runs!!

[MEGOMONSTER]

15 overs, no wickets lost and over 30 runs. OMG

[Punderhead]

We made 20 overs!!!!!!!!! No wickets, and there are even runs on the board!!!

[Punderhead]

I'll just leave this here......

[gubigfish]

3/287 at stumps a much better start, hopefully we can get 500 on the board

[threedogs]

again fat bats and 20/twenty,
maybe even Gillie is to shoulder a bit of the blame lol.
not fussed who wins its all over anyway.grrrrrrrrr

Whats this 60 for 0, I always thought it was 0 for 60

[fracster]

With the Ashes back were they should be, we`ll let you win this one . Good send off for Clarky.

Our girls are tops in all three forms of the game.
Not a great start in the 20/twenty but early days.
Aussies guys are hopeless ,Clarkey who??

[gubigfish]

Good win last night by the boys

[threedogs]

First test on Thursday, any thoughts on "that" pink ball they want to use.
Not convinced its the correct colour if they could get a white dye to penetrate
the leather better it would last longer when scuffed.
Personally I just think its a gimmick, and they should stop changing the game.
Its already stuffed IMO due to 20/Twenty where you score all your runs in 10 mins.
Slowly losing faith in the game, not sure Smith is the man for the job either.

[Chubba]

What????? Threedogs you must be kidding. The day night test in Adelaide will be a outstanding success and the consept will boost test attendances. And as for Smith, he will evolve into one of Australia's greatest captains.

against the KIWI's, surely we can beat them at cricket He He

Wheres all the K1W1s now ha ha ha ha ha ha ??
Or is this all part of a master plan??

@ Tuckertrucker where are you mate its still Aussies v K1W1's
sad you only sent your "B" side lol.

[threedogs]

I can see a pattern emerging with our friends from across the dutch.
They only come out when they are winning,, there I said it,,,,,, he he
They send over a fast bowler who breaks down whats that about.
They must be going through a re building phase, god bless them all,

[gubigfish]

Its all over for an Australian win

[threedogs]

Yeah the tail must of collapsed I was watching at 4 for,, next thing when I flicked back it was all over.
Warner was Man of the Match for his double ton.

Whats next the Pink test???????

[gubigfish]

Nah the WACA shes over here on Friday

[Maxhead]

WOW, Warner 200 and they are changing the ball after 2 hits...lol

[threedogs]

Warner is seeing it like a basketball, but controlled aggressive batting, seems the norm these days
the days of a 5 day test are gone

[gubigfish]

the way the kiwis are batting she will go 5 days for a draw I reckon

[threedogs]

Yeah bit boring imo doesnt help dropping catches either.
it a funny game you just never know

[threedogs]

One dayer just about to start so we'll see how much impact 20/20 has had on the 50 over game.
300-350 was about the max you would score all going well,. Seeing its one against two it may lower that
score ,but who knows eh

[fracster]

I suppose you lot are going to spank us at rugby union again, anything less than a whitewash and i`ll be happy.

What a crap Aust ODI team, still blaming 20/twenty for ruining the game in all forms

[threedogs]

What a pack of Drongos the Aussie captain is ,getting paid $1m plus endorsments
and decides to tamper with the ball to gain an edge, My opinion only but hope they sack him
never to play cricket again along with his hench men, He alone has embarrased every Aussie.
Wanker comes to mind but never been a fan of him or Warner, loved guys like Gilchrist and Symons.
Hope they throw the book at them, this is going to take years to recover from, to Adrian Im sorry
and ashamed of our Australian cricket team, not a good role model for the young kids coming through the ranks
Im ticked off big time isnt $1m a year plus not enough plus extras . If you lose you find out where and train harder to fix it.
tamper with the ball that sounds like school yard crp what advatage if any did they hope to gain. got to go and hide I'm so embarrassed.

[GQtdauto]

Coach was in on it Warner was in on it and captain as well as Bancroft , seeing the video of Lehman calling the shots in this means he must go as well .

[TimE]

Chill pills all around ......................... they didn't molest their grandmothers FGS, just naughty boys who tampered with the ball, like lots of others ............... including the SA Captain and his sugary spit bit.

Dumb yes, hanging offense no ................. in fact the ICC rules say one game suspension for Smith, so in their eyes no biggy!

Would I watch an over paid bunch of sportsman try to win "at all costs", no. Like most "professional" sports I don't give a rats, I'd rather be out in the bush 4WDing !

[threedogs]

Dont need cheats in any sport regardless,one game suspension I think not .
They are calling for a year ban, Never liked the game after IPL and 20/twenty
came in to play

It is all very disappointing, from what I have read over here, the Aussie team are not popular in thier own country, nevermind anywhere else.

Piss poor of Smith and whoever else to let the new be the one to be caught.

Main thing that annoys me is the way Smith admitted it, like it was nothing. Saying that, they are not the first and wont be the last, but for Gods sake, show a bit of sublety.

I think the point thats being missed is that sport at this level is not a pastime, its a business, and winning has prizes and expectations. The guys are no doubt on performance based packages, the sponsors want a winning team for their money. I don't condone what has happened, and no doubt its happened before but gone undetected, however with the amount of money floating around for this entertainment, its turned into a case of win however you can, for all the reasons we probably detest.

The disappointing thing for me is amateur sports look up to the players at this level and think they retain the same passion and sportmanlike attitude that they carry into the game they love to play. Probably the players are miles apart in the ethics stake.

Ball Tampering is a low grade and very common offence but an offence it is.
IMHO the individual country should apply penalties above the ICC.
Strip the Capt and Vice... yes
Send the dickheads home from a test series... yes
Add a few more matches to the ICC suspension... yes
12 months instead of a few matches/month... total bollocks and several magnitudes worse than any other dude has ever copped.

But totally agree that Smith and the ACB handled the whole thing abysmally... only a John Cleese Traning Vid would have got it that far wrong.

Good point... most Cricket balls have been either violently beaten or screwed by up to 22 blokes.

An exfoliation treatment is probably a kindness really.

Makes a very valid point.
