It was called a bowl off and it was every player taking turns as bowling at a single stump.

-Spiffy- posted:Didn't there used to be a thing where a bowler got 6 balls to hit the stumps the most. Yeah it was called a bowl off and it was embarrassingly bad. Nobody could hit the damned stumps except for Scott loving Styris.

It was great, because you went from "Holy poo poo, did you see that wicket, these athletes are in their prime and can land it on a loving penny! Woo!" to "Huh, it really is just spray and hope isn't it."

It looks like it was a normal wicket and it also looks like it owns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwT9DlQQyME I found two videos both of which were recorded off a VCR apparently

Why do Indians who talk about cricket use Indian words for everything except like Quarter Final, Umpire, 20/20 and poo poo? Surely there is an Indian word for quarter and final?

I think the 89-92 without the writing would be my choice if pressed. I like the slight asymmetry of the one hooped sleeve.

Wasn't the '99 shirt design due to the phasing out of cigarette advertising, with one last hurrah for B&H with the southern cross looking like ciggies coming out of a packet? Much like what Ferrari keeping the not so subtle illusion to their Marlboro sponsorship in F1.

On the topic of bowl-offs/outs, there's this from a few years ago in England (complete with amusing fan quote). I'm sure I remember there being another one in recent years in England, but I'm getting nothing from Google or Wikipedia, so it may just be me getting old. kingturnip fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Feb 11, 2015 |

Late on the Shirt chat but I liked the baseball-esque ones in 92, and also the half vertical stripes one. I had a Victoria shirt in that template, and I really loved it. The recent Victoria one-day shirts have been rat poo poo, and I refuse to buy a Stars or Renegades top because I am not 12.

Lionel Richie posted:Has anyone played Don Bradman Cricket 14? IGN posted:Don Bradman Cricket 14 may bear the name of the greatest batsman to ever play the game, but the finished product is designed to behave less like The Don and more like a certain modern day member of the Australian top order. It’s extremely capable and occasionally brilliant, but with a tendency to undo all of its hard work with the odd baffling error in judgement or apparent technical fault. In short, it’s the Shane Watson of cricket games.

Lionel Richie posted:Has anyone played Don Bradman Cricket 14? I've put a fair few hours into it. The batting is pretty good, and once you get the hang of it, the answer to 'How the gently caress did I get out to that?' is always - "Because I was being stupid." The bowling is also good, but gets really tedious outside of limited overs matches, to the point where it's actually difficult to finish a season as a bowler.

It's good that they had the opening ceremony on Thursday night so that everybody has an entire day and a half to recover from the sheer excitement before the boring cricket starts
