Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

non-sc countries will use/respect spinners one way or the other

??

How will reducing fielders in the deep help spinners in a t20? If anything it hurts them more than pacers.

they will have to play spinners to avoid being penalized for slow over rates

over rates like spinners

I don't think any team is changing it's bowling structure regardless of this. I could be wrong but I think all this is gonna do is hurt spinners and will eventually be removed as a rule.

What a day of Test cricket. Straight from the BD game to the India one. Can't believe I got any work done tbh

Funny memory of my childhood was Steve Waugh on a tour of India, a spinner through the ball at him and he caught it and threw it back at the bowler. I think it was only in a tour game but it made the news highlights

Chennai 3rd Test , 1st innings 2001 Test.

People somehow watching the BBL though. Imagine tuning into that to watch anyone other than Tim David.

 

[cnerd123]

Anyone watching the BBL instead of the Tests should shoot themselves tbqh

Ebadot stealing Boland's thunder was the best thing that's happened over the past few days.

A very good business opportunity - If someone provides quality live commentary on YT/other streaming services, people will not mind shelling out a few bucks for it.

I wouldn't mind paying to listen to people like Nasser Hussain, Atherton, Grade Cricketer, etc. coz the current lot of commies are really bringing the overall experience down. And this issue of bad commies is not limited to cricket, there are other sports too where fans are not happy with the quality of commentators(forget fans, in UFC even the fighters are not happy with the commies).

We need independent commentators to raise the bar, that's the only way broadcasters will be pushed to improve their quality.

“If the Indians don’t want to play by the rules, don’t come,” Queensland’s Shadow Health Minister Ros Bates on India’s reluctance to travel to Brisbane for the fourth Test.

Also: Novak Djokovic granted COVID-19 vaccination exemption to defend Australian Open title

 

[cnerd123]

so to kick of 2022 we had:

BD beating NZ in NZ in a Test
Thakur taking a 7-fer
Che Pu hitting a 50 in just 62 balls
Khawaja return to the Aussie XI

maybe this year really is the end of times

It really would be complete if one of our batsman makes a double-century in tests.
