Australia have been relaxed and all smiles so far this series. Except like, Smith who's a batting Robot who doesn't have emotion other than sadness he can no longer bat when he gets out. The English reaction to that of "Its a new aggressive form of cricket" through tear filled eyes while snivelling and sobbing is quite the treat.

I can read them, but videos or poorly cropped photos that just click through to Twitter are useless for me. And it's only all the cricket videos about hypocritical dismissals that make me want to see stuff from twitter. It's broken at the worst time, because after this blows over I'll go back to never clicking on tweets again. Edit- Dickheads always complain when sports people speak up about political or social issues and talk about keeping politics about of sport. The main thing that should happen is keeping politicians from talking about sport instead. Amoeba102 fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Jul 4, 2023 |

I love the internet. Some legend on reddit dug this up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVmiw2O_vsY&t=651s Bairstow held onto ball, and did nothing with it, for longer than it took Carey to release the ball at the stumps.

Each year had fitting stock music midis, so Chile 1962 had panpipes, England 1966 had a shameless Love Me Do ripoff, etc. Fun times. My brain has degraded rapidly over the years (I know that's a huge shock), but I've retained some knowledge of pretty much every WC tournament somehow. I could have had cricket instilled into me instead, but I grew up in '90s UK, so cricket wasn't something we talked about often, lol.

Lol Baz is insisting this has fired up the English team. You know, because an Ashes series where you're down 2 nil on home soil (lol, lmao) isn't enough to get you up for a game. Shambles.

lol if this forces them to close the long room to members or provide new rooms for the players that don't involve them waking in close proximity to a bunch of drunk tories.

Ratios and Tendency posted:Scotland have some dude bowling 152 Of course we do: not much else to do in Aberdeen. Zimbabwe out of the World Cup: means that the Scotland-Netherlands game is key: if the Dutch win by more than 36 wins or chase down a target with six overs to spare they qualify; otherwise Scotland do. Honestly it feels like the appropriate end for a World Cup format designed to keep smaller countries out to prioritise test teams: Ireland not close to advancing, West Indies barely any better; the last spot between two teams that if they lose are currently scheduled to play a grand total of 0 ODIs in the next year. They’re going back to 14 for 2027 which is progress: removing the ODI Super League (which guaranteed the Netherlands a bunch of full member ODIs and would have guaranteed the winner of this game) less so. It’s the not so good thing in this: Cricket isn’t designed for teams to decline or rise up: West Indies next set of internationals is a big tour of India with England coming up at home: Scotland have T20Is against Ireland, Germany, Italy, Austria, Denmark and Jersey as part of the T20 World Cup qualifiers and then they don’t know when their next games are.

The money imbalance is crippling. I don't know how they can fix it short of telling India to get tae gently caress, and India would almost certainly take their ball and go home.

As an aside, as someone who very much goes in and out of cricket depending on the seasons, I only just learnt that the massive stadium in Ahmedabad (which will host the World Cup final) is now called the Narendra Modi Stadium because lol of course it is.

It gets better, at the final he will get driven around in a big gold golf cart. Both at the start and finish of play. And probably during the innings break. And between wickets. And overs. Sometimes deliveries.
