The Cricket Thread

[SMH]

RIP Dave Callaghan. One of the best county cricket commenters on the BBC circuit.

Absolutely frightening batting line-up, woakes, stokes , rashid , plunkett bowling too it's a stunning one day line up really.

Probably still won't win the World Cup next year !

See the Aussies and South are having quite a fiery series !

David Warner involved naturally..

Just found out that Northeast has pissed off to Hampshire, wtf? I do miss the old WAK site

Then immediately shoehorned into the Lions side in WI without having even played for Hampshire.

If that's not a classic example of ECB favouring players from certain counties I don't know what it is.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Not the first time Kent have been screwed over by Hampshire

Lose in the final to India or Australia no doubt. Yep hope South Africa destroy the tossers

Kevin Pietersen has retired.

England getting slaughtered in the first test in Auckland, NZ won the toss and England are now 18/6.

 

[claret50]

[Luke_1884]

Time for new leadership and a culture change. They need to solve this world's biggest middle order infatuation too.

 

[Krazy8]

This is what happens when you drop James Vince. At least he guarantees us 20 runs.

Scotland and Ireland fail to qualify for the World Cup - bit like the football!

Irish blew their chances against Afghanistan.

Scotland were robbed and so unlucky with the weather at the same time. Oh well look forward to 10,000 afghans in the ground where they play now.

 

[RavenBish]

As bad as England are, at least they're not embarrassing themselves quite as much as the Aussies in South Africa. What a weird collection of absolute weapons they are.

 

[Super_horns]

What has Mr Bancroft been up to ?

The cheating bastards. Smith knew as well. Apparently it's the 'first time', how do we know that? They should be heavily punished.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Of course it's the first time, angels the lot of them.

I can't stand the fucking aussies in any sport.

This must be the most odious cricket team of all time. What a farce this SA/Aus series is.

Maximum penalty for ball tampering is a 1 Test ban and 100% match fee fine. Hilariously.

The icing on the cake was the message getting to Hanscombe on the pitch, and subsequently hiding the tape down the front of his trousers before emptying his pockets for the umpires. So cynical

 

[ValiantRob]

I bet that Bancroft has some very smooth bollocks.

 

[Super_horns]

Smith and Warner have resigned it seems and Smith banned for one test - maybe not enough of a punishment?

 

[The Southbank]

"Davie Warner is over the hill, came second to Sonny Bill...."

It's the maximum punishment for ball-tampering.

 

[blademan89]

107 all out , fucking brilliant news, set of wankers

 

[blademan89]

40 overs remain to scrape a completely undeserved draw

 

[Super_horns]

With that shot I think Stokes thought he was playing for New Zealand!

Done a lot of good work and then threw the wicket away .
