Lucas 3,828 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) 16 hours ago, Spike said: The Australian media is cannibalising Pat Cummins. A terrible game and Australia cricket has become a crisis, of course England can’t just have a great game as a home side with favourable conditions, Australia has failed, it is 100% Cummins fault, not the fact Lyon is injured and the four best batsmen in the world are nibbling at every edge and LBW. How bizarre. I think Cummins has been great tbh, he's got a lot of calls right and to get on his back after one game where they've been absolutely rinsed so far is beyond harsh. Really carried himself well I think and I have to say, I think it's pretty difficult to captain as a main bowler too and yet I wouldn't say it's taken too much away from his bowling. Let's be real, Warner's not got going all series and nor has Smith or Marnus to an extent. A century for either only glosses over the fact they have given their wickets up far too easily IMO. Perhaps only thing I'd be critical of is at Old Trafford, you always pick a spinner. It's a given. Appreciate Lyon is out but so is Jack Leach and we're using a part time spinner in Mo, surely they had to show some faith in the lad that came in at Headingley.

It’s just a cultural difference and media mindset. Australia takes full culpability, it’s a huge introspection into criticism, questions are asked of the players, everything of the team is a problem and needs addressing. Look at the English media, it’s far more extroverted and vain, we’re unlucky, the weather ruined it, the rules need to change, why can’t we play at night, why can’t we do this, cricket has died, and so on. Australia attacks itself, England attacks everything else. Cummins is in question, Stokes is above reproach; despite the score being 2-1. I find England and their current bazball ‘heroes of cricket’ mindset to be absolutely bizarre, the mental gymnastics are mad. They act as if Australia doesn’t even exist, it’s a storybook about England, they are the protagonist and everyone else is a plot device to work through.It’s all Id and ego has without superego. But in saying that Australia eats it’s players alive, the treatment they get verges on unfair a lot of the time, how they treat Warner and his wife is unacceptable and quite misogynistic.

Spike 5,106 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I had to turn off the BBC radio commentary that is the ABC right. I don’t know who is talking but the two are simply mocking Marnus for no reason. Bring back Isa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,397 Posted July 31, 2023 Administrator Share Posted July 31, 2023 England draw the series but that just had to be for Broad. Fair play to him finishing like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Stuart Broad was the one to start the rally to ban Ajmal after he played a whole season in England. His most career defining moment is getting hit for 6 sixes by Yuvraj. On the other hand this guy is the David Alaba of cricket. Can play any role in all formats with both bat and ball.

Administrator Stan 18,397 Posted August 1, 2023 Administrator Share Posted August 1, 2023 Broad the only ever person to hit his final ball for 6 and get a wicket on his final ever ball. Quite a special feat when you consider the odds of it happening are extremely slim. 2 hours ago, Beelzebub said: His most career defining moment is getting hit for 6 sixes by Yuvraj.

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 This is the last serious ODI World Cup. De Cock Stokes and many more to retire from this format after this. It won't be seen as the biggest competition anymore, the T20 Championship will be as big or even more for next generation. The T20 WC will now have 20 teams means small teams will have more incentive to play in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think if there was a limit to how many overs one player could play in it would encourage more risky batting and would attract more people. I don't watch cricket but watched the world cup final and the super over was very entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaheen fucked up there. Should never run on a misfield, and Nawaz was too far down back in his own crease to even think of a run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
