Cricket Crap

[Meth]

we thought you'd be better off not knowing about it

I'm not sure that you're incorrect

Brett Lee said he has been to India over 100 times

Doubt gets to 20 were for actual playing cricket (inc for Australia and IPL)

Has anyone been playing the streaker trivia game on the fox cricket app?

Yeah but keep forgetting it. You basically got to have your phone on you at 1 and 7 ready to play. I have remembered it a few times at 5 past and you're already timed out.

Not quite "go f*ck yourself San Diego", but...

Gold.

But also probably shows a bit of why he might not be in the side. Although I'd be shitty too in fairness. Hell with tact though, good stuff

 

[Bazal]

One for the New Zealanders...and their stalker, I suppose.

Impressive.

Been going through a few stats looking at the big four batsman of the last era

There isn’t much splitting Tendulkar, Lara, Kallis and sangakara.

The only way to set them apart from each other is by taking the following into account

Kallis also took near on 300 wickets

Sangakaras average was over 70 when he stopped wicketkeeping aswell as batting

Lara has about 1/6 the amount of “not outs” as the other 3 premier batsman in this list due to the batting lineup he was part of, this drastically shifted his average downwards

These three elements probably put all of them above Tendulkar even though he scored the most runs (from the most games)

Ponting, jaywardne and devilliers are next tier down


I just can’t find the wicketkeeping and post wicketkeeping components of sangakaras career, anyone help me out?

It feels like he was a batsman only for just as long as he was a batsmen/wicketkeeper

I'm hoping this is the right place to post this but apparently from next summer forward we're limited to FIVE tests.

Therefore nz 3 and Pakistan 2.
Then Afghanistan 1, India 4 in two years.
Ashes stays at 5.
Then we get Saf 3 and WI 2

Don't go to India until late 2021 - almost five years from early 2017.

ODI series limited to THREE matches.

IDGAF about a Test championship.

And who pays for missing revenue from the 6th tests??

India touring here for tests in a again in couple of years? Really?

We are going to South Africa for tests early 2020? Serious ?

LOL

Kick us when we are down why dont you

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I thought CA were trying to encourage SAF back to 4-5 tests in Australia too.

The whole schedule is shit.

 

[Twizzle]

We dont want them interfering with the T/20 cash cow.

What does a Test championship have to do with T20?

Honestly sometimes I think a cricketer could fall ill at home in the off-season and T20 would get the blame

Yeah I saw the FTP today and could barely believe what I was reading.

CA should be dissolved and a new organisation take over cricket admin if that’s true.

The ICC are now in control of Test and ODI scheduling moving forward, though.

Other countries are down for more than five tests a summer. You don’t think the host board has some say?

They probably do, yeah. But it's another timing thing too I suppose, and we have no idea of the full story.

They've been talking about us potentially being forced to tour SA or NZ over Xmas/NY for a while now and take part in their Boxing Day fixtures, for example. What if an average split of 3/2 Test match series means that we get away with touring those places earlier/later in the season and hang on to our own marquee fixture?

I mean, I think CA should be dissolved and rebuilt regardless, don't get me wrong. I just feel that something like this smells more of the ICC "levelling the playing field" (for their own favoured nations) than anything else.
