The Cricket Thread

[Skinner]

Still in this, Coles, Claydon and Tredders capable of cameos.

 

[lordofthepies]

Come on Kent, you little beauties - you can do this!

 

[blademan89]

Come on Yorkshire feeling confident now

 

[blademan89]

What an over for Kent. They are now in charge

 

[Bobbin']

That's gutting.

That last decision looked poor to me.

 

[blademan89]

Get in there

 

[lordofthepies]

Damn

 

[Matt_]

A shame such a good game had to end with such a dreadful umpiring decision.

It was close

 

[blademan89]

Damn

How's it feel to be completely dominated by your nearest rivals pretty much forever

 

[Matt_]

It was close

Close to hitting a fourth stump maybe, nowhere need hitting leg.

 

[Bobbin']

Yeah that decision gets worse everytime I see it.

Can't have little old Kent causing an upset, never mind.

I must admit I thought it was missing. Not a shocker of a decision though is it if it was missing were talking an inch or 2 not easy for the umpires

 

[blademan89]

You'd of probably lost anyway at that point. Great game though top effort from you lot against that side

 

[Bobbin']

Possibly, would like to have found out though.

Absolutely, they were excellent, just a little frustrating knowing that we could and maybe should have pulled it off after doing so well to keep you to under 260. No shame in losing to that side though at all.

 

[Bobbin']

Fucking Surrey win off the last ball too, aaaarrrgghh!

I think you should of won to be fair you did all the hard work for 90 overs. Good to watch though good game of cricket delighted were at home next Sunday too bank holiday Sunday in leeds and this Saturday in Birmingham happy days

For much of the time I've been in to cricket, Lancashire have been the better team in all formats so Yorkshire being really good is pretty new to me.

 

[Skinner]

Facking Yorkshire, pissing cricket fans off since, well forever

 

[joethegill]

Just got back from Canterbury, and all I can say is that I'm a proud man of Kent this evening. Really feel we should've gone on to win in honesty despite the early collapse (Billings has made a bit of a habit of it annoyingly, and DBD going so early was a kick in the nuts), and bar some frankly bizarre umpiring, we would've.

But, as said before - can't have little old Kent knocking out the media darlings from Yorkshire can we?

 

[Camborne Gills]

Having finally sobered up, I think we were on the wrong end of some marginal decisions, Tredders being by far the worst.

But having read that Wharf and Mallender are both Yorkies, what else do you expect?

God, I hope Somerset win it now.

We won't win it anyway next week's semi final from the team on Thursday we lose root,Bairstow,rashid,Willey and Plunkett no way we can recover from losing the 3 odi players who have played 90% of our matches

 

[Camborne Gills]

So basically, you had your strongest side for one game in the whole competition (and both umpires) against us.

That said, I would prefer Slurrey not to win.

Yes. 1st time root and bairstow played they played 1 t20 away at Lancashire but we lost that. I think the umpires decision were very tight it's not as if they were absolute shockers if I remember rightly rashid had one that should of been given out but wasn't. I suppose we got given the benefit though.

 

[Pilgrim Meister]

Northants through to the T20 final, won by 8 runs

 

[blademan89]

Disgraceful from root that like he doesn't want to be here and wanted to be out shocking 8 balls

 

[RavenBish]

Another piss poor showing from Notts, just like the Rose Bowl the England lads come back and don't deliver - for someone who launched his career off T20 heroics, Broad really is a horrendous limited overs bowler. It was nice to see Duckett do well though, despite the fact it was also one of the luckiest innings you'll see as he chopped it onto his stumps about 4 times and got away with it - pundits again bottled the Eoin Morgan topic by claiming there's no place for Duckett in the England side currently.

other observations
1) How can anyone not love Mark Wood? I just hope his ankle holds up enough for a long England career across all formats.
2) The state of Levi and Kleinveldt is fucking embarrassing - how can you look that horrific as a professional sportsman? They're not funny little chunky lads like Patel - they're morbidly obese messes and it's shown in some of their fielding. It amazes me they're allowed to get away with it.
3) Graves and the ECB must be spewing at two of the skint counties making it to the final ahead of them making another push for a Franchise system.

To be perfectly honest, none of them were complete howlers apart from Tredders at the end, just really annoying, when we had battled back from 60 odd for 4. Let us win the last 4 CC games and stop Chavsex winning D2 (maybe). Anyway, looking forward to 4/9 on Sky.

 

[Super_horns]

Rain seems to be winning the day in other test matches across the World!

 

[Camborne Gills]

Because they are being played at the wrong time of the year.
