3rd Quarter Final - Australia v Pakistan (20th March)

[Flem274*]

played well to the lesser bowlers but ewwwwwww can't bring myself to praise the king of the free ride.

 

[thierry henry]

yeah, but kevin pietersen and abdv. i mean yeah it looks worse but it's not like all batsmen don't look terrible when they get hit in front having gone across their stumps

H8 all dat **** tbh.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

how? you're trying to hit the ball

Because you're intentionally putting your body between the ball and the stumps.

 

[Spark]

this is a bit out of nowhere but i really, really dislike listening to peter walsh on grandstand

 

[morgieb]

Yeah if it wasn't for Wahab this was a quality knock from Watson.

And a lot of batsmen would've perished very early if they were peppered like that.

(although given this is Pakistan, they also probably would've been dropped)

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Bit tough for the pakistan bowlers when the opposition knows they start with 12 wickets not 10

 

[Spark]

H8 all dat **** tbh.

i applaud the consistency tbh

Because you're intentionally putting your body between the ball and the stumps.

but again, why is it comparable to a situation which runs on entirely different logic

 

[thierry henry]

I srsly hope I don't have to put up with this Maxwell **** for another decade. So gross.

 

[dermo]

Because you're intentionally putting your body between the ball and the stumps.

any umpire who thinks like this should be sacked immediately

 

[viriya]

India, please beat this team, Aus have won this **** enough for a good 20 more years already...

 

[Pothas]

Well this has been a lot of fun but it should have been so much more.

 

[Dundalis]

I'm bitter and/or an old person about this batting tbh

You are drunk. It's wanker or old person. No and/or either. Old people just being old. Calling an old person a wanker is just disrespectful.

 

[Daemon]

Because you're intentionally putting your body between the ball and the stumps.

he's not doing it with the intention of his legs blocking the stumps in case he misses the ball though, he's doing it because he wants people to bowl to his strengths.

 

[Gnske]

Who's the bully now Wahab?

 

[Spikey]

Smith to probably get out before watson

a regular wise nostradamus here

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Who's the beardo on the laptop?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

i applaud the consistency tbh



but again, why is it comparable to a situation which runs on entirely different logic

because it's not completely different logic? In both cases the batsman is trying to use their body to defend the stumps. Umpires hate that **** because it makes their job hard.

 

[Spark]

jesus christ that boundary is short

 

[Furball]

I want to know if Spikey put money on Watson top scoring.

 

[GotSpin]

Oh boy. Piss off he says!
