3rd test: Australia v Pakistan @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2024 (Warners last test)

[Pippen94]

Rugby Union is as boring as sitting in a nursing home listening to 90 year olds repeat themselves.

Current rugby is boring. Somebody explaining rules of that sport wouldn't be a bad idea tho..

 

[hineyrulz]

Why?!

 

[Fangs]

Sigh...

 

[gUt]

weak

Bad light in the middle of the day with flood lights on. Test cricket hates itself

 

[Bazal]

Batting averages when opening the batting as an opener and he is ranked 13th.

Katich averaged 50 as an opener and we threw him in the bin at 35 because he was choked Pup in the SCG Dressing room.

Well he was thrown in the scrapheap cos he was 35 and had just blown an ACL or something from memory, but yes him being a raging lunatic didn't help.

Not worth having blokes like that in the dressing room. Pup (fairly) cops it for being a pretty poor man manager and a pretty divisive character, but blokes love Kat for literally throttling a team mate. Not only that, a young fella in a side where he was an old pro?

A good skipper would have sat him on his arse and sacked him that afternoon tbh.

Bad light in the middle of the day with flood lights on. Teat cricket hates itself

We are the converted when it comes to test cricket. But I'll say this.....compared to other sports around the world, test cricket certainly does its challenges on many levels. This is the sort of thing that just hurts test cricket.

Ridiculous stoppage. The batsman were having no issue seeing the ball. The rain will come now I bet.

 

[Sphagnum]

People throwing their horse blankets out of the cot over the light rules that have been around for 500 years

 

[Twizzle]

turn the f**king lights on

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Should have sent Lyon out to the boundary, his illuminous bald dome would have provided 70 billion lux.

 

[Fangs]

Back in 18 dickety 9 people had no problem watching a 27 day test match.

Times have changed. Light stopping play when we play day/night cricket is flat out ridiculous. Change the colour of the ball to a rainbow for all I care.

 

[_snafu_]

Are we reduced to having to watch the Super Smesh in inzid?

 

[gUt]

So they stopped the game for long enough to allow the rain to come in during what would have been the tea break.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Fortunately for Warner, he is liked by some powerful people in the media. He could so easily have been cast aside like others who have done the wrong things in the past.

He lucky being an unpopular bellend is a prerequisite for his future employer.

 

[THE CHAMP]

So a boring sport also make use of boring officials as part of their boring coverage. Thanks for reinforcing my point.

Christ can you be a bit more sour when you post next.

 

[Sime_11]

was it true that the umps offered Pakistan (during bad light) they can keep playing but only slow pace/spin can be bowled?

why should the bowling team be restricted?

 

[THE CHAMP]

Well he was thrown in the scrapheap cos he was 35 and had just blown an ACL or something from memory, but yes him being a raging lunatic didn't help.

You know why he did that to Clarke yeah?

 

[This Year?]

I feel like this question needs to be asked.
Is test cricket racist for not being played in bad light?

 

[Chins get the wins]

We'll see the death of test cricket and rugby league in the next 20 years. What will be the point of living?
