A Cricket thread

go the other way, put some tunes on the turntable.

Such a good pair of hands

Ed Cowan was killing on ABC yesterday evening. What a dude.

teams playing for a draw are fucking boring as shit.

Well, a 31 ball century in SA and this from David Warner - kinda thing you expect on the Frankston line eh (sorry that maybe harsh on the frankston line):

“A few of the boys said something to him and when I went over to say something he sort of said something in their language and I said ‘speak English’, because if you’re going to say something for me to understand theoretically, I cannot speak Hindi.”

but what if he only needs to understand it practically? Then Hindi’s ok?

I’m surprised he understands English.

“Fucken speak bogan mate!”

I was taught how to say “Shut your mouth, you talk to much” in Hindi. Whenever I’ve tried it out though, no one has understood me.

HMC sent this coz he knew I’d appreciate it.

never a truer word fucking spoken.

“It’s all about being the matiest mates who ever mated.”

I was always a bit meh about Michael Clarke, but his commentating is absolutely top notch. What a legend. The interview I read in Harper’s with him and his wife also helped.

that’s exactly what I sent to james after I got the initial text.

World Cup!!

Good article. Does anyone even listen to CH9 anymore? Those muppets do my head in, we usually have it on mute with ABC radio commentary.

I agree with all of these words.

So glad you showed me this yesterday. There is a longer clip where te commentators say “the kitchen fridge is open, he runs like a gazelle!” and I promtly shat myself laughing.

Ireland looking a chance against the Windies…

100% chance. Fark!

It was real nice of channel 9 commentators to mention there would be 44 games in the next 14 days and then promptly not televise any unless Australia are playing.
Fuck you channel 9 I don’t like watching Australia play cricket I like watching cricket in general you useless pricks!

Agreed. Was shattered I couldn’t watch India/Pakistan.
