Official Cricket Thread Part 302

[Axver]

Well, you need to include a certain Robert Mugabe in that indictment, Cobbler!

 

[coolian2]

Well apparently I'm getting well wasted tonight. Will throw on a Blackcaps shirt, hit the piss store, and really hope we don't fuck up.

 

[coolian2]

And we're killing it

 

[coolian2]

Hmm. Tonight may kick off

 

[cobl04]

The Vics are fucking demolishing a NSW team that has eight players with Test caps, include the captain and his 2ic.

Yep, this looks promising.

Wish we'd had pitches like this when Australia last visited.

Hahaha. Suck it NSW.

We did and we lost the fucking toss twice.

How good is this finish!

HOLY ABSOLUTE SHIT

That was incredible

 

[cobl04]

Wow. That run out is amazing.

But that last ball was a wide.

 

[coolian2]

Wow. That run out is amazing.

But that last ball was a wide.

I think it swings outside the guidelines after the batsman

 

[Axver]

That's fucking ridiculous. Holy shit, that first runout. Love Tiripano's reaction.

And New Zealand handily wrapped up the Test against Pakistan this morning. I now wonder if our debutants can keep playing like this or if they've both just played the best games of their careers.

 

[Axver]

OK, can all the people saying Smith and Warner are the only batsmen with guaranteed places in the Aussie side fuck right off now? Usman Khawaja, everybody.

 

[coolian2]

Fuck this is going to be a great finish in Hamilton

 

[Axver]

I assume it's going to be a draw. Not nearly enough time to take 7 wickets.

 

[coolian2]

Run chase was on up until I opened this thread.

 

[coolian2]

Tom Latham at silly point was some of the funniest accidental comedy I've seen in ages. Taking cover before the ball is even bowled.

 

[Axver]

How much time left in the day? An hour? Five wickets left...

 

[coolian2]

~20 overs

 

[coolian2]

Fuck me this just got interesting

 

[Axver]

Looks like the new ball is doing its thing. Come on lads!

 

[coolian2]

An hour of "can we??"

15 overs left. Apparently stumps won't be pulled until they're bowled.

 

[coolian2]

My god that ball is moving like crazy

 

[Axver]

An hour of "can we??"

15 overs left. Apparently stumps won't be pulled until they're bowled.

12 overs now. 4 wickets. Oh please can we have a traditional Pakistan brainfade.

 

[Axver]

Of course, Pakistan are the sort of mercurial team who could also conceivably somehow find these 143 runs.

 

[coolian2]

Not to mention New Zealand are the team that concede those runs

 

[coolian2]

Another one! The tension!

Beers are in the fridge. Either we win the test or the series, both deserve a drink.

 

[coolian2]

Oh my another one!!!

 

[coolian2]

And again! Race against time right now

 

[coolian2]

You must be fucking me. What the hell.
