Monkeys Fist 42205 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The real question here isn’t the cup snake, it’s Mr. Stick Legs there- did his shorts shrink, did his legs grow? What’s going on with the tan/white band there? Also, why is Peter Jackson, by the rail. drinking pints in the Oz end, when he should be fielding Beatles questions in his house in Hobbiton? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with the English affinity for tradition in mind, you'll all be happy to know that the long tradition of the English losing at the GABBA seems well intact. Even your best friend, rain, seems powerless to help you. *Oh Britannia!* (God, I hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass.) Also, it was definitely a good toss to lose yesterday. Day 1 Gabba is a batsmen's paradise but the weather was muggy af and it was always going to hoop around early doors. But there is ZERO chance an English captain ever chooses to bowl first at the GABBA again after Nasser's gaffe in 2003. If there was ever an opportunity for it, though, it was yesterday. First ball showed that and the lack of resistance afterwards confirmed it. The most resilience I saw all day was from the pisshead who refused to move when the cops and two lots of security guards came to remove him from the ground after they felt de-manned by the size of the mightily impressive cup snake he'd built during the rain delay. fight me irl you fucking bastard how DARE you come on here and mock us 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions will be asked about batting first and not picking broad or Anderson. The pitch was green, rain was forecast. Not that that excuses the standard batting capitulation Completely agree about the conditions, but understand Anderson not playing as he will be more suited to Adelaide D/N game. Why Broad wasn't picked though, to have a first up go against Warner under leaden skies. Picking Leach has been shown to be the wrong decision. Already hit out of the attack after a few overs. We were always likely to lose this game, especially batting first. Batting second would have been the best chance of a draw, with the rain interventions likely. Also, Stokes overstepping is the <insert name here> dropping the Ashes moment. I don't understand why he was so far over and more importantly why his previous 3 no balls weren't called. If one or more had been, he may have moved his mark. He may not have bowled the same delivery, but ... At least the Perth test has been moved, so I don't have to put myself through the gloating when it ends up 5-0! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21868 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I wasn’t expecting to wake up to that reaction. Thought we would have lost by an innings by now so fair play to Root and Malan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken 119 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 It has been raining like shite here. You haven't had a chance to acclimatise. I can accept that that's why you were shite in the first innings but you lot have put all your money in the ODI side and T20's haven't you?

No coincidence that the test match side has suffered as a result. Can’t see us making much of a contest of this series. We really needed Archer fit and firing to stand half a chance. Robinson has been a good find and might do well with his extra bounce and consistency but our test batting has been flimsy for a few years now. Still searching for the next Cook/Strauss/Trott at the top of the order and we don’t have a quality spinner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 It’s the best format, obviously, but they’re probably thinking about money I suppose. I do like an ODI but T20 on anything but county level can feel like a waste of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken 119 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 The money is in The Indian PL. If your name is called you are guaranteed a million minimum. So the grassroots are just thinking "what should I learn to do this". That's modern day cricket man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
