*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2024 (white ball tour)

Aus back on top. Nature is healing.

Okay please explain why 8-64 is a notable number. Getting a bit sick of this actually as it seems as if any number qualifies

8 for 6 four

A truly glaring pattern is present here. So, for this exercise, 8-64 works...however, 8-74 doesn't.

See, that's not difficult.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Meanwhile don't forget some of us are getting sick of it when numbers are meaningless to anyone but you two

That's the beauty of the forum. We can ignore if we don't like a particular thing. All's fair and democratic.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Furthermore, we don't post every single one of these...on average during a T20 innings, the most would be around 10 postings, if the stars align well enough.

It's not a high percentage.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So we can ignore you and Ashley posting random scores during game threads, how do we do that?

I believe there is an ignore function. Also, you can just scroll away from the numbers.

RXN score: 1414

@ashley bach what sweet irony

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Okay thanks. I've now ignored you both. Pity as I'm a huge west Indian fan and love your insights but I'd rather not keep getting the random scores every game

It's okay. We all don't have to be one-dimensional.

When Lance Cairns hit 6 sixes in an innings at the MCG against Australia in an ODI it entered folklore because that kind of power hitting was such a rarity. Nowadays somebody hits a 6 in the ‘hit and giggle’ slogfest that is T20 and the response is “meh”. Everybody is smashing 6’s, constantly, all the time. There is no longer any sense of awe around ‘power hitting’, and the expressions on the batsmens faces mirror the utter banality of T20 slogging. A 6 will be smashed, the batsman will continue to chew gum and look bored. Only the disingenuous commentary teams continue will the ADHD infused charade of acting like they’ve just witnessed something utterly extraordinary as the ball sails into the stands for the umpteenth time. T20 has a problem now: attention spans. Will endless monotonous slogging continue to hold peoples interest, or will the matchless drama that is test cricket make a timely resurgence as cricket loving people gravitate away from the mindnumbing slogfest dross.

Can't read too much into a 7 over match but I have feeling the soft middle order will be found out in a tournament again

A QLDer getting angry at numbers.


Just a normal day in paradise.

 

[Starfighter]

How about just a smidgen of honesty? Too much to ask?

It's an advertisement. They want people to come watch. Do you think 'watch two over the hill sides scrap it out on (probably) terrible wickets' is a good pitch?

I know complaining about everything is your raison d'être though.

Can't believe someone would be like that, right Starfighter

The much-reviled India test series promo just got another airing on Kayo, to the disgust of the entire nation. Give them another call @Skyliner

 

[ashley bach]

JFM 18(9) incoming

 

[ashley bach]

That should of been taken Naseem was fast asleep at third man

 

[ashley bach]

Rauf again on

 

[King Kane]

Rauf again on

He has halted the Aussies momentum again with a couple of quick wickets after they got off to a fast start, he's having a good tour.
