Also covid itself can leave huge marks and lead to long term heart and lung conditions so this is no anti covid comment. It's just absolutely critical that we all get out and start exercising again and putting our well-being first and try restore our baseline to our pandemic levels. Yeah definitely that and not 40 straight years of drinking, eating pies, smoking durries, and doing lines that did him in. Definitely the pandemic's fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUFC 1,503 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 2 hours ago, Spike said: He was a drunk, a sleaze, a womaniser, lazy, arrogant, and a really shit commentator, but he was our wanker and the only guy in cricket that I loved to love and loved to hate at the same time. I enjoyed getting angry at his nonsensical commentary because he was such a glorious cunt. I like Australian commentator's, especially Warne. The English treat a bit as they don't want to upset people, apart from boycott. I found the Aussies just say it as it is. Watch Warnes video on Saeed Anwar, he shows some really good cricket knowledge. Also he shagged a peak Liz Hurley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie 3,253 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 2nd greatest ever spinner, greatest ever leggie, turned from a chubby aussie battler into a plastic ken doll with all the surgery and hair treatment, and never gave up the 28 year old male life, dying in a thai resort.

Toinho 2,210 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Rod Marsh and now Shane Warne My dad said Rod Marsh was all class. As for Warnie I grew up watching him, I grew up trying to spin the ball like him, what a character and what a legacy he left on the game.

Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted March 16, 2022 Administrator Share Posted March 16, 2022 Pakistan giving the 506 run chase a brilliant effort. Babar now has the highest test score by a captain in 4th innings in test cricket history (187*). Will be immense if they can pull this chase off.

OrangeKhrush 296 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Bangladesh won the toss and bowled first at kingsmead. nobody does that and they know why. Kingsmead on day 5 is like a day 1 second second hour pitch in India. turn, fizz and irregular bounce. a nightmare. Maharaja 7/32 and harmer with 7 wickets on his return led a depleted S.A. team to a mauling of the bangal tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush 296 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 a comprehensive win again by 332 runs bowling Bangladesh out for 80 this time, our standards dropped as they were bowled out for 54 in Durban. this is a south Africa team without Makram(no loss), Russie vd Dussen, Rabada, Ngidi and Marco Jansen. Ryan Rickleton showed enough to replace Markram who is out of form. Harmer and Maharaj took 28 of the 40 wickets and both added runs with the bat. Mulder and Williams will make way for Jansen and Rabada. Nortjie, Ngidi and Olivier are the alternative seam options. Elgar Erwee Pietersen RvdD Bavuma Rickleton/Verrayne wk Maharaj Harmer Jansen Rabada Ngidi/Olivier/pretorius can go 2/3 spin and seam or 2/2 or 1/3 with an additional batter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a very strong squad to be had as above.

Can somebody do a short summary of rules/gameplay/scoring etc, please? Do you know what format of match it is? It'll differ if it's a Test Match, One Day International (ODI) or T20 match. General rules in any format: 11 players per side. Each side plays an innings - in Test matches, each side gets two innings. The side batting first will aim to score as many runs* as possible The side bowling first will aim to get the batting side out by 10 wickets** and restricting them to as few runs as possible The bowling side will bowl 'overs'. An over is where a bowler gets 6 balls to bowl at the batsman. *Scoring/Runs Batsmen can 'run' in between the stumps after hitting the ball. This can be any amount of runs - generally 1, 2 or 3 as the fielding side will often get the ball back to the bowler or wicket-keeper. 'Boundaries'. Two types. A four is where the batsman hits the ball and it gets to the 'boundary' on the perimeter of the pitch after hitting the ground. A six is where the ball is hit and goes over the boundary, without hitting the floor There are also 'extras' such as wides, no balls, leg-byes. **Wickets Various ways to get a batsman out include: Bowled out - the bowler hits the stumps and the bails (on top of the stumps) are removed Leg-before-wicket - LBW - the ball hits the batsman infront of the line of the stumps without hitting the bat. Caught out - the batsman has hit the ball and the fielder catches it without hitting the ground Run out - the fielding side has thrown the ball to the bowler or wicket-keeper and the bails are removed, with ball in hand, before the batsman has made it back to their crease. T20 is where you'll get the most fun and fireworks - there's more likely to be big hitting from the batsman and that's usually what excites the crowds these days. It lasts 20 overs each innings. ODIs are 50 overs each side. Test Matches - hold a bit more tactics and strategy and are much longer, lasting over 5 days. A purer form of cricket! The best, in my opinion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is impossible to replace the Kallis, AB and Amla but it's up to 6th is younger group and the emerging talents like Brevis, van Tonder, Roelofson etc can shape a new future core. this team has some good experience to in Bavuma, Elgar, Russie, Harmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
