Davo Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Stuart Broad was fined 15% of his match fee by the match referee, who’s also his dad. Still waiting to hear whether the penalty will be extended to him having to mow the lawns and wash the car. MartinTyler, StringerBellend, pseudonym and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Edinburgh Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I don't mind a bit of (test) cricket. But why do they seem to stop playing every time I sit down to watch it. Came out to watch about 20 minutes ago, should be safe after the drinks break. I see about 6 deliveries. Indian batsman gets hit, gets treated for several minutes and then retires hurt. So that ends their innings and off they all go until .... ? Link to comment

Smoggy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) It’s been a fascinating days cricket. I reckon Paine hasn’t captained that well today. Shouts for Smith to return if Australia don’t get the wickets needed ? Great batting from India though. At one point today it looked like India were going for it.

marron Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 If it didn't last the 4 and a half days beforehand, you wouldn't get the half days like that one where it's all set up. It's afternoons like that where I will still watch every ball; forget those previous days, then I'll tune in and out a few times over that time. But to get to a point like that where anything is possible is great, and, more often than not, you are into the tail batting and will they make it... great stuff. Smoggy and Carns 2 Link to comment
StringerBellend Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Good to see Smith and the Australian have really changed the culture of the Australian cricket team since the SA ball tampering incident what a sportsman he is?

Great batsmen one of the greats for sure, in terms of sportsmanship less so. His tears after the ball tampering incident now look they were because he regretted getting caught not doing it.

btron3000 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Oh here we go. The Poms are out in force to put the boot into Aussie cricket. What a surprise. Today I got my first text about cricket in about 2 years from a Pom mate. Smith's a cheat blah blah. Meanwhile, English cricket fans still drool over a bloke who could have killed someone a few years back and got off scott free. I look forward to the next visit to these shores of the English cricket team, when Smoggy will be a cricket tragic until the first batting collapse. When these pages will be full of banter for about 1 and a half Tests then all will go quiet. Will they still be wheeling out James Anderson or will they have found some other dude who averages 23 with little wobblers under English clouds but gets pasted out here when there is a bit of a challenge bowling in the sun? Or maybe they can find another spinner to retire mid series because it's all too hard? Carns, Wanderboy and Edinburgh 1 2 Link to comment
btron3000 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Great series. It's a pity that India have suffered so many injuries. If they manage not to lose at the Gabba it will be a remarkable performance. Pity Tim Paine acted like a dick yesterday. Apart from that, it's been played in a great spirit and been good for Test cricket. Have really enjoyed Test cricket during Covid. England-West Indies was great (despite the end result ) and the continued rise of New Zealand has been good to see. Hope we get to play them for the first World Test Championship!

btron3000 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Good to see Tim Paine own up to poor behaviour. Showed humility and was genuine. Worried about his form behind the stumps though. And he still can't review, AND he goes up for catches that aren't or misses nicks that are. I think that if we had a ready made Captain in waiting, there would be real pressure to get Carey into the team. Smoggy 1 Link to comment
