Warm Up Games

Jesus Christ Smith gets more power on the slice over point for 6 than any dude in history. Freak.

That's meant to be the sucker length, for God's sake. If someone then pumps you over gully for maximum, **** you.

 

[BeeGee]

Smith looking ominously good.

 

[Spark]

Hahahaha

Agree with everyone questioning the Stoinis hype. Am a fan but ever since he was tagged as the WC hope, he's been ratshit with the blade. Get him out.

 

[Spikey]

Do you really lose that much for getting Maxwell to bowl instead of Stoinis? His bowling record isn't that different.

It's more you use them together to get to 10 based on conditions, etc. Having only one in the team means it's (x) and Finch/Smith to get to 10

Just like Australia to be dogshit for 3 straight years and then turn into world beaters just in time for the World Cup.

 

[Spikey]

just quietly, I don't know why TPC is booked in for the number 4 spot. Get him up to 3, Warner opening, Marsh at 4. Usman unlucky.

They just showed the Hong Kong vs India game in the Asia Cup in between innings.

Was so much fun watching it. Awestruck Anshuman Rath shaking Dhawan’s hand as Dhawan walked in to bat. The massive smile on Ehsan Khan’s face after getting Rohit Sharma and Dhoni out. And then that incredible 174-0 partnership between Nizakat and Rath that had Rohit shitting himself.

Such a pity we won’t be seeing much of that during this ‘World’ Cup.

Bump ball I think from the front on

Lol really?

 

[Spark]

wtf

 

[Burgey]

Maybe he caught it one handed, in which case fair play

 

[Spark]

i'm bewildered, that really obviously came off the toe off the bat and bounced

 

[BeeGee]

Um... What?

 

[Spark]

I mean it doesn't matter but geez I hope that's not the standard of umpiring we're going to be subjected to over the next month. That was obvious after about three seconds.

 

[Burner]

Hopefully we get pitches like this in the actual WC. Bit of variety will be good.

 

[Burgey]

I see neither Starc not Cummins are playing today.

 

[Howe_zat]

There should always be a runout on the last ball.

A real throwback innings where one bloke making a quality ton won you an ODI. Needs a team now, dunnit?

Still, can't be a bad score and talk of it being 30+ short is just the expectation of England's batsmen talking.

Talking about the NZ IND match btw.

Davo on Cricket Legends. Great stuff. He’s such a gun bloke. Was awesome to have him speak at presentation nights.

Australia’s attack is very very moderate. The deck looks a little on the slow side but I don’t know that NCN and the myth that is the Dorf are capable of exploiting it.
