Official Cricket Thread Part 302

Here we go. 24 to win now. That's also the total number of people in the stadium, including the teams. Weird. I expected it to be packed.

Got a stream up. They're certainly loud even if there's not that many of them.

I'd forgotten how ad-riddled these streaming sites are. How the hell do people use the Internet without AdBlocker?

 

[Axver]

Oh nooo!

Brilliant review. I was certain it would be umpire's call.

If Sabbir can drag Bangladesh over the line now it's going to be one the greatest innings in their history.

 

[Axver]

Oh, catastrophe, Sabbir doesn't even get the chance!

Test cricket is so, so cruel.

First Test starts on Thursday I think, vs SA at the Gabba.

XII:

Warner
SMarsh
Khawaja
Smith
Voges
MMarsh
Nevill
Starc
Siddle/Joe Mennie
Lyon
Hazlewood

How Mitch Marsh keeps getting a gig is beyond me. I'm not sure why we have to pick an all-rounder. Pick an extra batsman ffs. Put Burns up to open and bump SMarsh down to five.

 

[Axver]

Not sure how either Marsh manages to remain in the team.

 

[cobl04]

Shaun deserves it. Has 130 and 182 in his two most recent Tests.

 

[Axver]

He was so shit for so long he should never have been allowed to even get into a position to finally perform. Took a spot from more able cricketers.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Bangladesh/England series still tight. Bangladesh leading by 244 runs with 3 wickets in hand, going to be an extremely tough challenge for England.

 

[cobl04]

But they've batted well and Bangladesh have bowled poorly and now it's advantage England.

And all of a sudden it's 6/149. Mehedi Hasan is 18yo - and the rest of his career won't be as good as this obviously - but he's got 18 wickets at 15 in two Tests, and with four wickets still to fall. Incredible.

They would have absolutely smashed us.

 

[Axver]

He nearly got another! Just overturned on review.

Shit I'd love to stay up and watch this to the end but I need to be up early.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Shakib just took 3 wickets in 4 balls. Wow. Missed out on the hat trick but nailed the one after that.

Imagine if Mustafizur was playing!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Bangladesh win! Massive result for their cricket.

Imagine being a 19 year old and getting 12 wickets in your second test!

 

[cobl04]

I want to cry

[Axver]

Hahaha such an awesome result. Ten wickets in a single session, madness.

 

[cobl04]

what were those videos vlad?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Highlights posted hours after the match. The first one had all the post-match celebrations etc.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

This is also good.

Graeme Cremer hit a ton for Zimbabwe

 

[Axver]

Shit, good start by Australia, getting two wickets within the first four overs.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I give up on this cricket summer already.
