LFC Cricket Bashing Thread

If closing a couple of threads means you get as mad as you did, imagine what will happen when I close this one

 

More musings from the Test...
Steve Smith is the Jim Furyk of Cricket, doesn't look pretty but he's effective..
England look listless in the field, Ashes in the bag, I sense the urge to make it "4-0" is no longer there, I think they just don't want to lose this one and that will do.

 

Over 450 now, declaration imminent surely.

 

492 for 9 and the declaration arrives,the Aussies will be looking to make England follow on
to force the win.Still 23 overs left today,lights are on.

 

I don't like to say I told you so, but I did claim Woakes was crap before the squad was even announced

Can't believe they're playing a week team and giving the Aussies a sniff at winning a game. Should have gone for Tremlett ahead of Kerrigan and kept Bairstow in.

Or Luke Wright

 

Cook's gone for 25. Terrible series for him, a batsman of his class.

 

116 - 1. Root has his 50. Both him and Trott are batting ****

****ing bellend Root gone...caught by RHC...

 

You couldn't make it ****ing up It even worked the other way round, the stupid ****.

 

Trott's gone. 176 for three

 

Run rate of just over 2

You'd think they'd try put on a decent showing in the final test. Try and go and actually win the game rather than just give up and try bat out 2 days for a draw.

P.s Woakes is ****

 

Rain,and lots of it.Inevitable draw

 

Aussies tried t make a game of it by setting a target for England to chase. Think that's good, gives the crowd some proper entertainment rather than both sides just playing out a boring draw.

140 to win from 23 overs with 8 wickets left. Cook & root both gone.

 

Played a mini test match today boys (2 innings each play all day) and got the following (I don't play regularly, some of the other play for local clubs):

4 overs, 2 maidens, 7 runs and the key wicket which bowled them out.

Batted: 1st innings, batted for 2 hours when we were under pressure (30 odd for 3, only 7 wickets each) and got 47 off 68 balls.

2nd we needed 124 off 15 overs and I slogged at everything and was out for about 10.

Well happy! Match was drawn.

Wish I played cricket as much as I have football, could have been reasonable.

 

not bad bow, sadly i haven't played cricket since school days.

enjoy the beers after, or still there lol.

 

Cheers mate! Down the pub in an hour or so

You gotta love cricket.

 

Their second innings I bowled 3 overs and they scored 9.

Pretty good economy.

 

I played one season of cricket; I can't bowl and although I had plenty of power with a bat I rarely got runs However, I was a pretty good wicket keeper (shame I never got a chance in a game) and I used to have a good throwing arm too (which meant I was always stuck on the boundary )

 

Good stuff

 

I'm far from the biggest cricket fan in the world () but that ending is a disgrace!
