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

[King-Gutho94]

Like, it's one thing to employ that vexing "field spread, give the senior batsman a single and hope to bowl to the bunny" field when you're talking about the senior batsman being a top or middle order player ... But Aamir is a f**king #9. He's a f**king tailender. Pitch the f**ker up and aim for top of middle and off or the edge of the bat and set the field accordingly.

Australia have no idea how to bowl to the tail.

It's infuriating as you say just bowl line and length. If it's good enough to get the top order out it's sure as hell will get the tailenders who can't hold a stick out.

If we're fair dinkum (and the weather holds out) we should win this in four days.

Meanwhile in South Africa.... 23 wickets fell on day 1 of the second Test. India went from 4-153 in their first innings to all our for 153... Yes, they lost their last 6 wickets for zero runs...

Shows how pampered batsman are these days, unless it’s an Autobahn they shit themselves.

South Africa were just preparing for there Z-grade T20 Domestic comp that starts next week.

Can't bat more then 20 overs.

Sandpaper Man with 34 - probably a fitting (and hopefully last) innings for him to disappear into the sunset.

test matches can have 2 innings per team

test matches can have 2 innings per team

I'm thinking we win this without needing to bat twice...

 

[Twizzle]

well let's get a first innings lead first

Or hope the whole thing doesn't get rained out... storms rolling in from the west.

Shocking shot from Khawaja for that dismissal....

Rain or Pakistan for the win IMO.

Pakistan will find a way to lose.

2010 at the SCG they lost from an impossible position fixing the match.

We were basically 8/40 in the 2nd innings and they let Huss get 130 and Siddle bat for 4 hours.

Then got rolled for 130 chasing 170.

I'll be at Strawberry Hills hotel at 9am for the 1st beer.

Sticky floors and and a few schooners before going in and watching us bat all day.

Pink day is really an awesome day to go too every year no matter the weather.

Dress up in a pink hawaiian shirt and pink socks. Everyone gets behind it and i reckon not many families haven't been affected by Breast cancer at least once during some stage of there lives.

My grandmother had it in 2002 and beat it and still alive today.

Hope the weather holds out for you.

This is an interesting test.

Yep. 5 for 10 runs will do it. Our tail is quite fragile at times.

 

[Eelogical]

2-1....lol.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Test cricket is the king.
