Azeem Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Indian Chief Selector resigns after alleging Indian players take performance enhancing drugs to remain fit that don't get screened in dope tests. I think this is prevalent in all major sports. Human body needs some recovery time that scheduling of elite sports can't afford. Apart from your super professional footballers I bet 2 out of 5 elite footballers do take dope at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I saw the 1st three wickets drop and fell asleep; unfortunately it looks like I missed a good day of cricket. I'm not the biggest Nathan Lyon fan for but it is hard not to be after a day like that Edited February 18, 2023 by Spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sets it up nicely for the rest of the test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azeem Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 In Pakistan, if you are giving trials at grassroots as a fast bowler you would get max 3 deliveries to impress. Three other cunts would clock faster than you if you don't and then wait for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 The brand of cricket that we play in Test format now, we'll always be at risk of losing as much as we win, but I'm fine with that. We're on the right path. It was a poor start to the 2nd innings that cost us ultimately. Nearly dug ourselves out the hole but credit to the Kiwi's. It's not like we've ever robbed them of a win is it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed the company as much as the cricket to be honest. Was there with some family and seems to be a regular thing we use this as a day out then go for good after. Perfect day.

Lucas Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) First day of The Ashes, can't beat it. Cricket feels more geared towards the T20's, Hundred's and ODI's in today's climate but this is the absolute pinnacle of Test Cricket. Blazing sunshine, full house, that whiff of ale, the roar for a boundary, this is what it's all about. Gutted I couldn't get a ticket this Summer. Let's hope the weather stays beaut, causes little disruption, no unforseen injuries to anyone, and we have five absolute belting tests. One things for sure, you get the impression each test will only end in a draw if there's disruption which bodes well for an exciting series.

Administrator Stan Posted June 16, 2023 Administrator Share Posted June 16, 2023 One of the most unluckiest dismissals I've seen in Harry Brook's wicket. Ridiculous, really. No one scripts that, not even the Aussies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Sir Joseph Edward Root. A master of his craft. Well played sir. Bairstow looked in unbelievable nick too, really disappointing he didn't go on. Very bold of us to declare at 393-8 on Day One, not necessarily sure I agree with that. Especially as I felt with Root starting to smash a few after his ton and Robinson chipping in, we left possibly 30-40 runs out there. But that's how we roll under Stokesy's leadership. Probably may feel justified I guess if we were to nick a wicket or two before close of play tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted June 19, 2023 Administrator Share Posted June 19, 2023 Loving this from England, especially Root. 3 ramp shots, and one of those to start the day off with England have to get as many runs on the board now with the poor weather due tomorrow. Try and get a big enough lead to potentially put Australia into bat in the final session? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That target for Australia looks worryingly short to me on a pitch like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
