Nybble posted:Recommendations on podcasts, especially tactics focused? Would love to understand how teams are shifting their fielding coverage, or how pairs of batsmen communicate on when to run? Saw a few hiccups on the latter - seemed to be some implication from the commentators that Kohli was shouting at Green in Hindi which lead to some confusion. Re: language confusion. There was an incident a few years back when recently retired lovely human being Davey Warner was yelling at a pair of Indian batsmen to "Speak English!"

yet another first innings score of basically 200. Even that bum KL Rahul has realized that it's better to get out in <10 balls than putter around. Seems like the data boys have finally won. Reminds me of the NBA after everyone realized 3>2.

as a self professed data boy (again, see my first post) - what is this about? better for some players to just swing for the boundary and get a couple of big scores vs maybe getting a few singles and dots before the wicket?

Cricket has historically been a game of slow building and grinding down the opposition. Even in the short form games there has often been a focus on building a "platform", spending a decent portion of the time providing a relatively slowly built score with few lost wickets that later players could then thrash about to turn into a winning one. That is increasingly being abandoned in T20. The benefits of building a platform vs going balls out basically from the off are not showing themselves, especially on franchise T20 wickets that are frequently not helpful for the bowlers. You might get all out sometimes, but you could lose anyway if you misread the situation and score too slowly for too long.

just came across this and it is an absolute thing of beauty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI8RxWoE5G0 Joe Root takes 5/8 (!!!) to help England bowl out India for 145 and leave England facing a first innings deficit of 33. England would lose the test by 10 wickets

Was impossible to look away because every session felt like a collapse was imminent. Axar Patel turning Barristow inside out over and over was the best part. Pant is back playing IPL and does not look too good. He wasn't exactly the best T20 player before his injury though. Hoping he can start playing tests again. e: he ended up making 50 at a respectable strike rate but until that last over it was choppy BWV fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Mar 31, 2024 |

I think the idea is basically that run rates are so high these days, spending 5-6 balls to get your eye in, settle the nerves, and see how the wicket’s playing could cost your team 10-15 runs, which you’re unlikely to get back over the innings - especially if several batters do this, it really adds up. Plus that lower-scoring period puts on extra mental pressure, as you’re aware that you could’ve been 10-15 runs better off.

There was also an idea that if you lost 3-4 wickets in the powerplay you would lose, which is still true but not to the point where just consolidating wickets is a good play.

I was flicking through the TV and noticed some test cricket was on, and couldn't immediately think of which series. Well, Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka normally escapes my attention and the Bangers appear to have forgotten to turn up, too. They're getting pasted.

He's definitely chucking it when he wants to. Trouble is what can you do? He gets called for it and then gets tested but 'remodels' his action and gets cleared to play again.

So if I were to want to vaguely follow County Cricket is there anything super important to know? Are there any big reasons to support one side over another considering I don't live in the UK? Any side to absolutely not support for.one reason or another?

You should consider supporting Somerset or Lancashire for the laughs, to see what happens when two promising young spinners (Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir) are stuck behind much more experienced spinners (Nathan Lyon and Jack Leach) and end up rotting in the 2nd XI.

Lyon is only playing 7 county games now because cricket Australia have decided to gently caress him over and manage his workload despite him flying his family over for the English summer. They've also put Xavier Bartlett on a contract and revoked his approval to play county which is bullshit too.

From my memory of that incident, Warner 100% knew what they said, his "say it in English" was trying to get them to repeat it where the stump mics would catch it. It was the summer after Clarke's "broken fuckin' arm" aired and I think Warner was trying to get the Indians in similar trouble.

On these tracks it just doesn't make sense not to use at least 6 wickets. Every team has 8 legit batters so finishing sub 200 for 3 is destined for failure. Rajasthan made it look closer than it was, as they got the required rate around 6 by the 14th over. I don't get it. Every year I read more about how analytics and spreadsheet jockeys are becoming more important and yet the same teams consistently gently caress it up.
