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

Nothing Maxwell does is "incredible" Athers, it's all just unpleasant and somewhat disturbing

 

[Furball]

Yeah but he's intentionally moving into that position, which leaves him cleanly in front of the stumps. Ergo, he's intentionally moving in front of the stumps, which blocks the bowler's target, a strategy which isn't going to be view favourably by umpires.

When you take a stride forward to drive through the off you're intentionally putting your body between the ball and the stumps.

i mean "intentionally putting your body between the ball and the stumps" is the basis of like 95% of sensible batting techniques

I don't think Wahab understands how sledging works

There might be a video he can watch on the plane home that explains it to him.

 

[Gnske]

Never in doubt.

 

[NUFAN]

Watto glorious win.

When you take a stride forward to drive through the off side usually the ball is out side off stump

 

[Spark]

he was there at the end

 

[Fusion]

Congratulations Australia. Obviously the far superior team.

 

[thierry henry]

you say this like there's an actual intelligent strategy to it

Not much of a sledger in general tbh. Even less of a fan when it involves the bloke who is hopelessly losing the game of cricket trying to "win" the sledging war by bowling a bouncer and then calling the batsman a mother****er

 

[Spikey]

Clarkeh is wearing track suit pants. HAS HE DONE ANOTHER HAMMY>!>!>!

 

[Spikey]

great now we cant drop finch and move watson to opener because he's made the middle order his home or whatever rubbish

 

[GotSpin]

Boom boom Watson

Not always, and are you saying no bowler has ever seamed one back in?

 

[Redbacks]

Watto #happyface

There's a difference between that and literally just standing in front of your stumps... really not sure what there is to not get here

yeah I'm done with this

 

[OverratedSanity]

Too easy in the end.

you're just weird tbh

 

[viriya]

Shami please wipe that stupid grin off Watson's face.

And then proceed to get **** on by AB/Baz.

Thanks very much in advance.

 

[Spark]

for a complete thrashing that felt strangely close for a lot of it
