I Dont' Like Cricket, Oh No, I Love it, Yeah

[I'm a loser baby...]

Yay us!

Amazing re all those going off early. Smith is just pure class.
Maxwell is rubbish.
Coulter-Nile a surprise packet.

My lol aussies was a dig at people lol'ing at other teams having a bad day not the aussies themselves .... i always find it amusing when people love a dig at other teams but take offence at those others teams giving it to us

 

[strider]

How much did Gayle get? 0 from 2 balls or 100 from 20 balls? Did he blush?

 

[Twizzle]

When did the Windies become good again?

last night when they played us, we tend to play teams back into form

Lol. Mate you should see the match thread in the cricket forum. More Aussies giving it to the team than anyone else!

Great win but.

Yeah but f**k England.

 

[JokerEel]

Smith takes a break for a year comes back and is still the best player in the game..

 

[strider]

Yeah but f**k England.

Well yeah ... f**k the poms, the sth affers and the indians tbh ... sheep shaggers need to pull their heads in sometimes too .... at least the silly lankans have been knocked down a notch

 

[Bazal]

Bangladesh have sent the Poms in.

Only hope of winning I think, England are insane on the chase but can struggle to set a score.

 

[Bazal]

Opening with spin with Shakib as well...slick captaincy, Jason Roy especially hates spin

 

[Bazal]

Jesus, England have lost twice as many wickets as anyone else vs spin in the first five overs since the last World Cup. That's a mental stat

 

[Bazal]

Other players did stupid stuff too! But Moses is our main kicker, with smith our second kicker. Smith was still out there and was able to take pressure off him, losing gutho didn’t affect our kicking game but yes our attacking structure.

Smith rarely kicks for us, since coming back in the 3 games he has made 1, 6 and 0 kicks. Tonight he made 2 kicks. He is never really a main kicking option, Moses is, the opposition is aware of that and losing gutho made no difference to them targeting Moses. He should have kicked better.

Steve Smith shouldn't have to kick, he's a number four batsman FFS.

That sort of shit should be reserved for the tail, kicking the spinners away so they can bat longer with the set bat

 

[Bazal]

Is Warner in the 6 an option. Chris Gayle would be as effective as Kane Evans

Warner is a 9, surely. Nuggety. And also a complete merkin

Chris Gayle can't move, so Evans has a slight edge. Would take O'Shane Thomas in the front row but. Imagine supporting a man named O'Shane!

 

[Bazal]

Oof, Jason Roy gets squared up badly by Mortaza...could have been ugly for the Poms that

 

[Bazal]

Ranga Bairstow is playing a dangerous game here. Looking to cut Shakib off the pegs.

He's a skiddy customer, good way to get yourself trapped in front.

 

[Bazal]

We just need more TPA’s.


Our coach and his team are awesome. We just need more TPA’s. It’s what’s holding us back. Nothing to do with or fraud of a coach who should be homeless.

Yeah I don't rate Langer.

Would love to see us bring back Buck, even if just to see Warnies reaction in the media.

 

[Bazal]

I think if we are gonna do anything this year like make the top 8, next few weeks is the time to do it, we dont have a bad draw coming up

wether we can is another thing, still have some hope

lose to the showponys and canberra next two weeks , we are probably shot for the year

The problem is we need to be top four to make the semis mate, and I'm not sure we can do that with only two strike quicks and Aaron Finch as captain. Plus Stoinis and Maxwell in the middle order.

Just missing balance.

 

[Bazal]

England are wrestling this back. Some good smart batting from Roy especially, which is a bit of a surprise. He's played to his strengths and taken the quicks on, and been surprisingly reserved against Shakib. Bangladesh need a wicket shortly or these two will be set and ready to attack. They gotta bring another quick on for Shakib soon

 

[Bazal]

Here it is, as predicted they've had to bring Mustafizur on.

Will Roy and Bairstow launch here? I reckon they'll come hard at the pace bowlers, target the mid-on and midwicket boundaries.

 

[Bazal]

Boom, Roy goes big straight down the ground!

Sounded like a cannon off the bat
