Is test cricket usually this calm and quiet or is it just the English crowd?

Burn Down Canberra posted:Rogers can't play the short ball either so he ducks it or gets hit. And presumably doesn't have a back that will snap in two from a stiff breeze. Clarke's been coasting on captaincy alone (and fielding I guess) for quite a while now. edit: i'm not watching right now, but that sounded like an odd review to try.

There are also instances of people being ejected from Lords for being too noisy. Its a shitheap of a ground.

Are there supposed to be commercials between overs? I'm watching on ESPN3 and haven't seen any.

The gambling adverts are the best, especially the in-match bets they offer, considering the slight mess Cricket got itself into with spot fixing.

Josh Lyman posted:Are you talking about the two IPL teams that are suspended for match fixing? I saw something about that the other day. That's the most recent example, yes. Then there was the three Pakistani Cricketers, including the Captain that were banned from Cricket for match fixing - happened in 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_cricket_spot-fixing_scandal And then Cricket allows adverts from Brokers to be run during the coverage

I've never seen a cricket in match bet though, they all seem to talk about tennis or football e: isn't Amir about to finish his ban? I'm usually pro-perma bans for spot fixing, but it seemed that he wasn't entirely willing and just kinda forced by his captain IceAgeComing fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Jul 17, 2015 |

Haven't seen those for a while but they definitely happened. [edit] Amir was definitely the "least guilty" I felt. Such a shame he got caught up in it all because he was a really good bowler.

Why are they pretending 2/87 is a good session for England in the context of this match position? Thy are even less likely to win now than they were at the start of the day.

Fourth wicket! Australia will be out in time for the pitch to quicken up and bowl England out twice (after a follow on)!
