A Cricket thread

Seems user ‘xcx’ has been pretty quiet on the instagrams lately (well, since the end of england’s first innings at the gabba)…

It’s 9-fer already. Done by midday?

An American gamer reviews the ridiculously bad Ashes 2013 game. Lolz.

lol’d hard

oh man, so bad (game) and so good (commentary).

Anyone else losing signal in Melbourne, or do I have to get up on the roof? All the other channels are fine. Radio’s on in the meantime. Maybe a good thing; more efficient bike fixing.

Kind of expecting this to turn out to be bullshit, but in the meantime: holy shit.

digital or analog? depends on where you live too. I know there are a couple of digital drop out spots in northcote

I’m a bit sceptical of comparing Tendulkar to others. Not wanting to take too much away from him but how many of those runs were against shit test teams?

isn’t that a lifestyle choice, man?

^^think it’s more the numbers aligning being kinda weird.

and you’ll find everyone plays against shit teams and good teams.

Correct. Nothing to do with Tendulkar per se.

Fucken…caaaaaaaarrrrrrnnnnnn

Hate to be Cook right about now.

I totally missed that. Still, from a curmudgeonly point of view, I think there’s too much international cricket on these days. Ashes is about the only series I get really excited about. Don’t get me started on the ‘World Cup’ or 20/20.

Likewise. And only the ones in Australia. So I pretty much get into 5 matches every couple of years. #seriousfan

The Ashes is always good. I don’t mind the One Day Cricket - World Cup, but only from the semi finals onwards. The only interesting thing in the early rounds is seeing some ex-pat, living in Holland or somewhere, make a ton against one of the big teams.

Should get to see us clean up today and, thanks to a good dose of the flu, it’s the first time I’ve watched a full test match in ages!

C’mon Aussie

was 8-349

now Rogers has caught one deep … 9-349

One more wicket & that shitty little cup is back home

All out, Ashes are home
