Smith better get his 100 quick or Haddin is going to take the rest of the runs.

-Spiffy- posted:It looks like it was a normal wicket and it also looks like it owns What the gently caress is that language? 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?

adamantium|wang posted:I still have no goddamned clue why 9 use their HD channel to broadcast 70 year old movies instead of sports. The cost of broadcasting sports in HD on their secondary digital networks are greater than the money their advertisers would be willing to pay for slots on a secondary channel once they realise the Australian TV audience wouldn't watch games not involving Australia. Compared with the cost of $0 for pulling a lovely old re-run out of the library of crap with lovely advertisers that pay them too much for the slot, it's probably financially not entirely stupid compared to the possible risk of making more money broadcasting Zimbabwe vs. Bermuda to an audience of 5,000 and pissing off their advertisers who get no return on investment, if they can even convince any advertisers to pay premium for sports because if they can't then they run the risk of devaluing the advertising on their telecasts entirely because they'd have to drop the costs which could set a dangerous precedent for the rest of their coverage. Casual Australian cricket fans won't watch other teams play unless there is nothing else on. During the weekdays the viewing figures would suuuuck and during the night they have to compete with the latest episode of My Kitchen Rules and poo poo. They are still co-facilitating the broadcasts for international markets so then again you're probably right. Of course all that aside, it's probably wrong and Nine are probably just run by monkeys pushing buttons.

RideTheSpiral posted:I say missing three runouts, colliding for a catch in the outfield and getting hit for a six to lose in the last over is pretty close to a choke imo. Yep. Choke as gently caress. ODI cricket best cricket. I'll be supporting NZ against Australia. gently caress my place of birth I'm supporting the good guys.

Best case is they plug away from about 2 more overs of Kohli feeling it around and then get another wicket and the game will be back to square. Starc has to come back on now.

Sheesh I dunno what I'd do if I was Clarke. If you bring on Maxwell or Watson you run the risk off letting these guys get set, but you can't just bowl out the strike bowlers this early... When do you bring on the 4th/5th change bowlers? I think I'd bring Starc on for Hazlewood and try to keep them restricted at one end and bring Maxwell on at the other who they'll try to get after...
