The Ashes

Could have been worse, they had no chance on the Gold Coast

I'm heading to the cricket Monday with Troy, the Gabba is a great ground to watch the cricket

 

Good luck and I hope you have a great day, but I suspect you’ll be watching the covers go on and off all day.

They really shouldn’t bother with the Brisbane or Sydney Tests. Just play them all in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart.

 

What ??

And never go near civilisation ???

 

I am SOOOO over this bloody weather! Whatever happened to the late afternoon thunderstorm followed by next morning blue skies?

 

Well it rained on the way to the cricket so turned around and went home

India got lucky .... imagine if we had 5 full days

 

Took a Greek to make Test cricket exciting

 

Exactly, imagine if the Italians get involved

BTW if you slow Mo Bumrah's bowling action you'll see he is chucking !!!!

I rang channel 7 to inform them that they should slow Mo his action AND they stopped the video just before he chucks the ball!!!!

I'm calling conspiracy

****ing cheating Indians.... It's Muraltherin all over again

 

What a bunch of sooks the Indians are, now they're targeting the wives of Head and Cummings on social media

 

Do you actually know the rules? He doesn’t chuck. One of the best bowlers I’ve ever seen, actually.

What is channel 7? Is that what the peasants watch?

 

You probably believe Muralitharan was a good bowler as well

Bumrash is chucking

 

Murali was a good cricketer and is a thoroughly decent human being, although there will always be some questions over his action.

There is no question over Bumrah.
And if you weren’t such a tight arse lefty and had Sky you’d see the analysis of his action (instead of watching ads for the latest reality show) which clearly shows he doesn’t chuck.

I thoroughly enjoy watching him bowl and expect he’ll ultimately be regarded as one of the all time greats.

The fact he averages under 20 despite bowling on mainly Indian dust bowls is extraordinary.

 

Whom is Cummings?

And one of our good friends and nurses at work is best friends with Travis’s wife.
What are they saying? (Social media is for morons as I’ve said many times).

 

It's been brought to light on that doyen of Aussie reporting News.com,that on various social platforms various Aussie players and family are being targeted for cheating re the DRS stuff.
FFS it was a Bangladeshi 3rd umpire reviewing the play that made the decision FFS!
Here is channel 9's take:
"Snicko's creator BBG Sports explained why no spike showed up even though Jaiswal clearly edged the ball.

"That was one of the glance shots where there isn't any noise so Snicko shows nothing, only ambient noise," Warren Brennan told News Corp after the incident.

"I checked with the audio director and he said there was no noise either. Probably only Hot Spot could have resolved that one."

 

So they’re targeting Travis Head’s wife for cheating?

Makes sense.

 

It's got me stuffed why Bolo hasn't got a regular gig in our national side.
Ditch Hazelwood IMO.

 

Ditch Lyons and Kwajah

Put two boys in as openers

 

100% disagree with Lyons going,Zampa and Murphy aren't as good.
75% agree re Kawajah,he needs a rest.
Definitely bring in some young blood...all the rest are over 30YO.
Definitely shut that Greek kid up until he's earned the right to be cocky,one half a good slog ('cos that's what it was and needed to rattle the Indians),but they had his measure in the second inings.

 

Bolo's on fire.

 

Bloody Pant

 

Finally someone who knows about cricket.

 

Steve Smith's got Cindarella Syndrome

 

**** me, here we go again.
Why do they bother playing any cricket on the east coast?
Absolutely hopeless.

 

What happened? the grass grew?

 

Is it ever not raining in Brisbane and Sydney?

Just play all cricket in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Hobart and be done with it.

 

Not rained here on the GC for days ..... and who would travel to Sadelaide to play cricket ?
