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

[Suitman]

Isn’t that all that matters to me. It’s shit. Just like Union and A League. I still think I’m in the majority unlike you.

I like all sports, except AFL, American football and that violent wrestling punch on shit that Fox love promoting.

 

[Suitman]

Nothing has regressed as much as Yawnion, sadly the Windies are an absolute rabble.

Indeed.
Test cricket is still the best form of the sport, regardless of how bad some nations are.
T20 is an absolute blight on the game.

I don’t like those sports either but that new slapping sport has to be the most stupid sport ever created.

I think American Football is the best game of all. I think it's better then league. The skill level and tactics are just amazing to watch.
It's a hard game to follow if you don't understand it properly. Those who do don't see it as stop start.
I like it cause you never know what play will be next. I feel like in league to often we know ita going to be a hit up. And a bomb on last.

MMA I find terrible. Boxing is so tactical it's a shame this sport has kinda killed it. A bit like T20 and test cricket. T20 is slap and tickle.

Im a huge fan of the NFL and even I think it is very stop-start.
If I’m not watching the Niners I will usually watch the condensed versions of the games.

Cricket is slow, yeah, but there are also a lot of tactics involved as well, especially in Test cricket.

Interesting stat coming out of the cricket commentary yesterday

The over 23k crowd day 1, was the highest day attendance of a test at the Gabba for Aust v WI.
Could be beaten today being a public holiday

Considering this is the 14th test at the ground between the nations , and apparently no one is going to test matches any more these days like in the past, its quite an achievement

 

[Twizzle]

Windies wagging thier tail atm

 

[Incorrect]

Watching that catch and the celebration by the Windies took me back about 35 years.... As much as I hated getting towelled up by them back when I started watching cricket in 84/85 until 1995, it's great to see them putting up a fight here...

100%. I am going to unhate you. This is a good post.

I am loving this test. More night tests please. Go the Windies. Go the fast bowlers.

I would not have predicted this 5 year ago but I think Uzzy is my favourite player these days. I like the way he plays.

No shit Sherlock.
There's a reason why he was named international test cricketer of the year for 2023.

Gee whiz is a hard slog going to watch the cricket at the ground these days. 85 bucks to get in, seats are uncomfortable, 14.50 a Bundy ginger beer, 12 bucks a 4 pines.

6 bucks for water and 7 for a coke, by 5pm it was a 2 drink limit. Then you have to sit around a bunch of feral, uncouth loud mouth bogans who are shitfaced after a few hours. It was my best mates young blokes first time to a test match and he was so excited. Poor kid had beer tipped on him twice and the DH behind us refused to apologise and then wanted to punch on for being called out for his Shitf**kery. Poor kids first day of test cricket was ruined by inbred POS. I think next year I’ll stay home.

9/10 mate

Get 10/10 if you didnt wear a hat and your bald head got sunburnt in the first session..

Looks like a pretty shitty crowd.

Looks like a pretty shitty crowd.

I get the vibe it's a really hot and humid day up there may have turned a few away.

Seeing as the commentators have been talking about it all day how oppressive it is.

It's only 30C with 83% humidity. It ain't Darwin....ffs!

This is a great Test match. It has the hallmarks of having a nail biting finish.
