Group 1 Second Round - Sri Lanka, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Netherlands

Nass actually says it too; only non-Aussie I've heard using it as an adjective.

Although he does have family crim-side; his sis has copped the 'strine big time.

 

[BeeGee]

I guess the best scenario for NZ would be a narrow victory to England? Then an England loss to the Netherlands?

That way NZ and SL would go through no matter what the result of their game.

I think.

 

[grecian]

You just know with all the hype Hales is going to have one of his crap innings, and get out early looking clueless.


Tahir will do well against us here, which is depressing in so many ways.

 

[Shri]

And the neck of an alpaca.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hopefully a handy toss to win.

& hopefully we catch rather better than versus the Lankans.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Clash of the beards first up then.

Moeen's far superior, clearly.

 

[grecian]

Important question Brumbers, you've long been a down-sayer in the matter of Amla's beard. Yet what about Moeen's surely it's a hirsute delight?

Oh I see you've answered my q.

 

[MW1304]

Yes Hashim, wonderful.

 

[grecian]

I know slagging off Jade is getting a bit dull, but just what type of ball is that, a kind of slow long-hop, how is it good in any cricket. Talking about the 6 one btw.

 

[wpdavid]

Afternoon all.

Amla vs Dernbach really isn't a fair contest, is it.

 

[BoyBrumby]

It's just like I'm Still Here, Jade's continuing presence.

Can only assume it's an extended practical joke.

 

[grecian]

Oh Jos that's so ****ing poor, and of course the 6 afterwards.

Honestly ever since he moved to Lancashire......

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ah, Jossie, lad. Shocker.

Broad has to bowl a couple of power play overs instead of the usual Dernbach and Bresnan rubbish.

TBF to Dernbach (not a phrase I plan on using often) he's probably been better in this Tournament than Broad or Bresnan, but trhat's because they've all been awful. Genuinely don't get why Ravi isn't bowling more. He bowled all his quota's in the warm-ups, and bowled them well.

 

[91Jmay]

Dernbach offering literally nothing. Broad not bowling himself in the first 7 is really poor.

Reckon we're a bowler heavy with Moeen opening tbh. Bowl Ravi and either a premier bowler hardly bowls, or no one completes their quota.

 

[grecian]

Dernbach is "having a crisis of confidence" apparently, no, no he's having a crisis of being a **** cricketer. So are we all suffering that crisis with him.

 

[Cabinet96]

****ing hell, again. At this rate I won't get to see City score eight at the Emirates.

You never know, he might be the second Dennis Lillee who's just had a crisis in confidence since he was 12.

 

[Spikey]

not sure this england team would perform any worse playing in the dark tbh
