RIGGED RIGGED RIGGED

first choke of the day

>wake up
>throw away your wicket
is there a worse sensation for a batsman/woman?

Should something be done to tone down seam movement? The human eye cant actually track the ball it's basically predicting it so it being able to move more than a bat length but at a completely unpredictable amount because of the wobble it's a ball you cant play

me thinks the Australian Cricket Team would benefit from some more runs here

I'm telling you, they need more balding cricketsmen

>>149151926
you can track the ball pretty easy under 140km/h.
it's only as you near 150km/h that you lose the ability to see the ball and starting playing with only your instincts
t. played cricket

Starc can farm the strike here and get fifty

Batting Gazza

cameron green should have got some runs

score some fackin runs

>>149151943
proxy off zachy

Starc ton here would be nice

Got my pants tucked into my socks and my shirt tucked into my pants

>hazlewood continues the tradition of #11's only getting to 99

>>149151979
tuck your head in cunt

>>149151979
crisp

a quick 80 here from starc and australia will be in an okay position

>>149151979
love winter

>>149151979
wearing nothing but my boxers atm

>it doesn't snow in austra-ACK
Then why can I see my breath inside huh?

see how he just left that ball, that's how you do it

The commentators are acting like the saffers will will waltz to victory with this total, but they were lucky to make 130 in the first innings. What gives?

aus haven't hit a 6
based bavuma hit 1
sa should win by default

>>149152024
They're biased fuckheads. Nasser is alright though he looks a bit like an ugly woman and should grow his beard out

Morning lads, only tuning in now. What’s the pitch looking like? Predictions?

>>149152024
they reckon the pitch will become slower and therefore give the saffas a chance to chase

>>149152024
SUNS OUT

>>149152024
law of averages, eventually one team with have a decent innings

>>149152024
best girl

>>149152014
he's just like me :)

>>149152036
He'd look like a goat fucker if he did that. Right now he can pass for an ugly, swarthy Englishman.

Just take a moment to reflect on how kino it is to be watching test cricket right now.
That is all.

>>149152024
are they seriously writing us off?

>>149152064
Yes, but they have been doing that since Khawaja got out in the first innings.

>>149152037
>Predictions
South Africa will lose. Australia is unquestionably the greatest cricketing nation.

>>149152037
I don't think the pitch has changed at all the entire match to be honest
I think south africa to lose 3 early. Look good, scare Australia then suddenly collapse 60 runs out

>>149152056
what's even better is we're watching /sa20/ chads play test cricket

>>149152064
did you hear Haydos before the game?
he literally yelled "AUSTRALIA HAVE BOTTLED THIS" into the mic during the preshow

>>149152079
hayden is a loser, always grumpy, richie would never

>>149152024
pitch eases up at lords on day 3, but this is not regular circumstances
plus I wouldn't really be backing seth chokefrika in a final in a 4th innings cgase

>ywn a boomer strayan who spent $30,000 on a 3 month holiday to England because the kids don't deserve an inheritance
it's not fair bros

>>149152056
dont think i will

>>149152091
they know its worth it because things are "much chipper" here compared to back home

desu I regret not attending this game
I would have trolled the pozzies so bad about sandpaper and have them seething

>took 30 minutes to mention alyssa healy
slow today.

>>149152077
just wish they had brought the /sa20/ shawties with them

>seething biased pom commentators
Turn this shit off

>>149152103
aren't you in the middle of an economic collapse that's leading to an incompetent far-right government that will make it 100 times worse, within a few years?

>>149152099
We should have stuck with that kit for ODI/T20 cricket. That was the kit that had an aura of invincibility.

>>149152117
what are they complaining about now?

>>149152075
Seems about right if I’m being honest, but I’m still optimistic

>>149152105
I've never understood the sandpaper thing desu. Ball tampering was a very common thing before all the cameras got involved. Atherton did it, Tendulkar did it, Cronje did it (and worse), Akram did it. Why does every other country act like it's so evil all of a sudden?

Bought myself a limited edition hello kitty plush today.
When I was at the check-out, the shard-fiend chick (you can tell instantly by the voice) at the register next to me said to her boyfriend "aww, look what he's buying for his daughter".
I opted not to correct her.

i remember kerry o'keefe always mentioning how some punter put on a bet that michael clarke would score 20 test centuries for australia when he was still in club cricket
imagine the odds early on for nathan lyon surpassing glenn mcgrath in all time wicket takers

Starc looks determined to score a century here
Hope the boy from Bendemeer can stay in

HAZLEGAWD

based nose picking elites

HazelGOD

>they were 73-7
ban SA from finals

This final wicj

watching test cricket at night doesn't feel the same

Hazlewood has now outscored Khawaja for this test...

McGrath/Gillespie innings incoming.

>>149152165
I quite like it

Rabada looks like he needs a line

>random muzzie flight attendants next to the band of obvious pedophiles
why

>>149152165
Watching cricky at night in Winter is the best.

>>149152165
maybe if you're on the wagie sleep cycle

11 runs until Aus win the story

why do all other nations dislike australia? What have we done to deserve this

>>149152180

>>149152128
I tell you what no way I'd swap positions

>>149152190
theyre seething because ausGODs dominate cricket

If you see a swarthy gentleman with a beard and immediately think of bestiality that's a you problem

Based smithy. The antipodean brotherhood
>the australian intellect

Graeme Smith is very delusional, especially for someone who has been retired a while now.

To be fair, this would be a kino run chase if SA were able to sack up for it

>>149152190
They're jealous. When we see someone doing well we admire it and wish to make ourselves better. When they see someone doing well they want to drag them back down. That's the difference.

Hazlewood rock solid?

>>149152190
Win too much. That's all it is. This team coming clutch isn't an accident. They've had their fair share of failures, but that's why they're knocking on the legacy of the 90's/2000's Aussie team now. The four horsemen of the apoocalypse in particular gets on people's nerves.

ummm Ausbros have you considered if Hazlewood and Starc are looking good the pitch has probably flattened out considerably???

>>149152207
>240 runs on day 3
>kino
It should be expected. Would be a massive choke not to get it.

no way! really?
oh no!

>>149152215
It hasn't though. These retards were saying yesterday was a good day to bat and day 1 arvo was a good time to bat. They're full of shit and delusion

Why don't South Africa simply just take the final wicket?

>>149152222
Please don't call soccer football. You're embarrassing us.

>>149152215
might declare for a half-hour crack at the end of day 4.

>>149152215

Why were the Boers such sissies?

it must be emasculating knowing that your captain makes dwarfner look like hes 6ft 3

outside the line anyway
>>149152265
Have England been any good since that World Cup in Australia that fucking Cronulla fuckwit Mat Rogers cost us with a terrible clearance? I remember France made a world cup final a while back.

>>149152230
Bowlers know whats coming as they bowl themselves so they just bat until they get bored

>>149152257
You should read more Banjo Patterson. There were Australians on both sides

>>149152257
>committing war crimes on behalf of suzerain state in an unjust war
Same ol ausies

who reaches their century first lads?

>>149152301
there were no crimes, it was boer and british lies

Ian Smith best Smith

>>149152301
Killing non-uniformed terrorists isn't a war crime.

Can't beat a summer's day, test cricket and a bit of painting right lads

>>149152301
You could have just fought a proper war away from civilians.

Why do you cunts have to be such edgy headcases for? It isn't nice

some say thousands of interned Afrikaaners lost their lives after being locked in a camp with an australian and subjected to endless hours of his whinging

RABADA IS GETTING BUCK BROKEN

>>149152294
In my city we have a giant statue outside parliament commemorating those who died valiantly dragging crying Boer teen guerillas out of the scrub and shooting them in the back. Now the Boers crawl to us for a place to live. They know we dominate them. Truly buck broken.

>>149152314
bit dark mate

>>149152302
South Africa (Extras)

did someone say war crimes

>>149152314
Nice brushmarks. Use a roller.

The Boer wars were based
t. Anglo south african

> two dudes run through the entire boer army

> saffers cry about "crimes" because got smashed
> british also cry about "crimes" because they actually lost the first war to the boers and were embarrassed at how two aussie dudes won it so easily

>>149152315
Like in the veldt?

Ausfailia are going to lose fuckign KEK

going for a shit
a wicket better not fall

>>149152314

Is this achievable natty?

>>149152360
Wtf how rich are you?

If I were a cricketer I would crack the bowler's skull with my bat

250 has to be too much right?

Bring in a part time bowler against tailenders, always works.

You could put a backpack on bavuma and he'd look like a schoolboy next to Jansen

>Bring in a part time bowler against tailenders, always wo-REEEEEEERRRRRR *BOOOOOM*

anyone get a pic of those girls

>>149152389

>>149152368
That isn't that hard to obtain man, just move out of the city :)

>250 lead
saffas have lost, just don’t have the chops. But this pitch is getting easier to bat on Big Chef proved right again

>>149152371
It's not only runs but time. Resting the Aussie attack and waiting for the pitch to break apart. Every minute counts

>>149152327
having your rank & awards stripped except for the victoria cross because it's an award that never gets stripped is incredibly kino

>>149152376
>>149152389
Part time bowlers don't get many chances so they always bowl to get wickets. Meanwhile the front line bowlers spend about 2 hours bowling bouncers to the #11 to intimidate them.

cricket commentary isnt as fun without skull making fun of ian smith for being fat

>>149152366
He really fell for the whole crusader cosplay didn't he.

>>149152403
The attack is batting lel

>>149152327
my hero

He called bavuma rabada cabcel him

>>149152404
He lost the Victoria Cross by offering it as collateral to the guy (his former boss) paying his lawyer fees as he keeps losing court cases about not being a war criminal.

Is anyone on cutie patrol?
No ones posted any cuties from the crowd yet...

>>149152403
playing the bowlers too long might backfire. everyone knows starc bowls shit when he's tired. only worth it if they bat the whole day and have a rest for tomorrow.

>>149152430
you missed the four blondes five mins ago

>>149152422
He should have just shut the fuck up and the whole thing would have been totally buried by the Liberals.

>>149152437
Real English roses those were.

YJK Rabada has a huge BBC

Im keen to play west indies and england who don't have that 2 freak bowler who takes 10fa every match and does 7 over spells

>>149152451

>>149152446
Bloviated bowling credentials? I do.

you guys see what zachy just posted in the discord?

There's always at least one cunt who just stands up and wrestles the game away in the aussie side that's why they're ELITE

yes his toothpick arms somehow get more toothpicky over time lmao

>>149152479
thought he had the before and after pics mixed up haha

So Australia have won the WTC again, but at what cost.

>>149152477
Carey is NEVER the top scorer in the innings, so Starc or Hazelwood were always going to kick on.

Starc undeniably should've batted above Cummins for his entire career, but such is life with Cummins being captain and selector (thoughbeit)

>Historical accuracy
>Depiction of Boer force sizes in Breaker Morant
>According to the South African historian Charles Leach, the film "overexaggerrates" the number of Boer commandos by the metric of between 10 to 15 times as many as there actually were[27]. This enabled dramatic scenes in the film, such as when Harry "Breaker" Morant is the sole Australian soldier "heroically"[27][28] defending a copse from the onslaught of hundreds of Boers in a 30-minute long scene that does not correspond to reality.

gotta have the titans v manly nrl game muted instead because fox league commentary makes these cunts sound like Rhodes scholars

WOLLOP

Hazelwood slog sweeps what beauty

Australian isn't a race
they're mostly a Chinese / Indian / Irish mix

>>149152814
Doing it completely backwards.
You have the cricket playing in the background while you do something else, and look up to watch the television when something happens/the ball is being bowled.

Can mute the television and have the radio going for the sound though, since they're typically a second or so ahead.

>>149152733
lmao. they're still 20 overs away though.

>>149152844
>Mostly Chinese/Indian
Cunt all of your major cities are over 60% Asian, here it's only 20%

Almost just off-topic posted but caught myself lads

>>149152761
saffa wags surely?

>>149152859
definitely bongs because of the quagmire chin

>Mulder ad on my stream
wtf he's doing a lot at once

>>149152862
quirked up whiteboy with a little bit of swag

no such thing as off-topic posting during a test match
the camera pans to anything and comms talk about it so the whole world is related to test cricket

>>149152867
Oh sweet, thats good to know.
Well I was just going to say that I definitely do the stinkiest pisses itt

no that's me i'm afraid

>>149152866
every pom i've seen at bush doofs

>>149152814
I usually do this but I'm not fully paying attention today so need the comms on. Real hit or miss crew on comms today. Broady sounds like he could be a good commentator someday which is good because cricket desperately needs fresh blood

>>149152864
Doesn't mean they're not the saffas wags lol.

Just seen Saul Kripke in the stands.

>>149152897
RIP ear drums

why didnt kp play for south africa

>>149152896

business idea: Markam putting some sandpaper down his trousers

reckon the saffas are just mindbroken
pitch will suddenly get a lot more juicy when cummies comes on to bowl

Starc can get a 50 AND a 50 partnership with a two here.

ets sopposd to be da lest wicket you're sopposd to be out by now we want to beT et as not feeR

>>149152952
good for the side wagging cus the other 3 bowlers are way more fresh
terrible for the side fielding cus the annoyance and fatigue builds in addition to loss of hope, SA are just going through the motions atm

>me listening to the cricket on mute

LIT AS AV A BIT YOU SHIP SHOGGING BESTURDS

>>149152977
KEK

>>149152952
Plus. Always plus. The fielders in the dressing room get energy from the play, you get runs and the opposition get shitted off, get antsy and then when they come out they're overconfident and think they can smash 6s and get out easily.

>saffer maiden
we have lost the story

>>149152970
>>149152985
Or getting gingered up and ready to swat tf out of everything?

Anyway, took a long lunch to watch some cricky. Think Im sober enough to return to the office now. See you all in a bit

We’ve won the story. Give us the mace right now.

MITCHELL STARC WAS ABLE TO SCORE RUNS ON A ROAD, WITH A NUMBER 11

Will Starc?

>>149153025
I know you're lurking and will post again in more favourable circumstances. Am onto you mate

HAHAHAHA

starc should open the batting and bowling

If Starc and hoff can take the piss on this pitch line this then the saffas should be able to put together a decent score

>Mitchell Starc
>HS: 99
ohnonono more like Mitchlel Shartc lmao

Story 1: 230
Story 2: 250
Story 3: 270
Story 4: 200 in the innings
Story 5 (incoming): highest innings total in the match

RUN 280 GIVE IT UP FOR RUN 280

>>149132696

Thinking a double ton isn't out of the realms of possibility

>>149153040
I reckon if I give it half an hour we’ll have taken the last wicket. I just hope we’re not 3 down by the time I return

>>149153050
>He repeats, notably more nervously than the last time

>you now remember brainlet cazzies who hated Starc and wanted him gone from the (test) team

LE FUG LE MIDGELL SDARG!!! :D

At too many burritos and now im doing the thing where some comes back and you have to swallow it again

new ball doing plenty on this pitch
SA will struggle against Cummins again. him and rabada are too good for both sets of batsmen on show desu

Half century for starc, a win for all left handers around the world

>>149153062
double tea, yum

>>149153058
better to crash and burn than to fade away. Have fun at golf or whatever you're actually doing ;^)

>>149153062
where is too many burritos? haven't heard of it

>>149153062
do you make gollum-like "burrito" noises as your stomach brings it back up?

psychological pulverisation going on out there

the fucking lips on that one in the crowd

Is Alastair Cook always a regular on TMS? What happened to Boycott?? What's going on???

Fucking Hazlewood

I'm an alcoholic

That's lunch

KP is coping so fucking hard LMAO

More like Stuart McGillarkham.

>>149153096
so is ya dad

AHAHAHAHAHA PATHETIC
NOT ENOUGH RUNS POZZIE BROS YOU BOTTLED IT NEEDED 300+ PITCH IS FLAT NOW

Australia have won the moral victory

Didn't South Africa drop Starc last night just before stumps?

>>149153122
yep

for me it's watching the boomer codgers in the long room DESPERATELY trying to get eye contact with the players as they walk past

I wish there were more dickheads on this SA team. I want to hate them and enjoy pulverising them like I used to

Starc 50, 280 lead and batted out a full session with just the bowlsmen, story completely won here

>>149153122
quite a few drops

Business idea: Love Island, but on Cricket Island

>>149153120
thanks to the totally non biased groundspersons

south africa out for 94

>>149153122
SA tradition when the going gets a little tough

>>149153096
Fuck, I don't even remember making this post

>>149153183
I haven’t met enough of them to gauge then like that. It’s not like poms and jeets who are in your face with their fuckwittery non stop. Saffas are invisible and they don’t really care about Test cricket anyway

>>149152909
Unironically because having too many whites in the team is racist unlike based Jonathan Trott who had an English parent and wanted to play for England since birth

hard to hate any teams other than india and england tbqhwy. others just don’t give a shit about tests anymore.

>>149153332
this, it's honestly kind of sad seeing teams like sri lanka or the windies getting btfo in a test match.

>>149153312
scran innit

Redpill me on this test cricket stuf

>>149153208
Played footy with a couple of twins from SA and they're old man was full white supremacist. Like I heard him use the word 'kaffir' unironically about some sudanese kids and I posses myself laughing.

fagbla x

>>149153364
It's good, great even. What do you want to know?

>>149153364
Best version of the game but dying since the younger generation likes people smashing the ball and fireworks.
The fanbase are all boomers+ who are dying off.

>>149153332
Afghans, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and NZ all care about tests, they're just shit. Ireland's team does but not the country. WI, bangers and zimmers don't give a fuck but its been like that for ages. Even most of england doesn't give a fuck, its a tory sport there so only the small upper class cares.

the redpill is YFO

>>149153394
Half those sides are scheduling less tests so they can play more Twenty20s. In regards to England, pretty sure they paywalled it after the 2005 Ashes so killed all the goodwill and hype the sport had.

>>149153394
I care about tests. Irish people get confused because both teams wear white

imagine how good the cricket would be with japanese vendor girls walking around serving you beers on their knees

>>149153390
Do they always play for like five days? Or does it get called off early if the other side can't come back? Or is it always possible for the other side to mount a comeback?
>>149153392
Is this the WC of Test cricket?

we care about test cricket but it has to be of bazball type
not this boring shitshow put on by these 2 where they can't even go at 4rpo

>>149153394
>Even most of england doesn't give a fuck, its a tory sport there so only the small upper class cares.
there's a much bigger "cricket? LOL" attitude here among our non-cricket fans compared to all the other cricketing nations, yet we turn out the hardest for tests. weird innit.

fuck off sebbshit
shame on cazzies for taking the bait

sebshit talking to his proxies again I see

The noodles were good. Had two packs of chicken koka, a tin of shines sardines, couple squirts of sriracha, pinch of dried tarragon, two pinches fried onion, drizzle of sesame oil, and kikkoman around the edge of the bowl, ate it with chopsticks

Fuck Britbongs. Heem Britbongs. Hit Britbongs for 6. Stump Britbongs. Sledge Britbongs. Spit on a Britbongs crease. Catch Britbongs. Send Britbongs back to the pavilion. Taunt Britbongs. Wave a new ball in the face of a non-striking Britbong. Review Britbong mistakes. Charge Britbongs. Bounce balls at Britbong skulls. Whip the bails of Britbongs wickets. IYKWIM

>>149153446
A lot of games these days don't last the full 5 days because a result happens before then (players are losing the ability to bat for a long time).
If the captains agree that neither team will win, they can end the final day one hour early but that is very very rare.
Its a real tactic to play for the draw if you are losing. If you can bat until the end of the 5th day then the game is drawn. Result only happens if the chasing team get the runs or the defending team gets the other team out (twice).
Yep, the world test championship final.

Good day

What's the difference between fictional and fictitious?

do you think they should make test cricket a 3 day game? serious question

t. BCCI

>>149153500
fuck off michael vaughan

Are we really that unpleasant?

>>149153499
fictional is completely made up, fictitious is actual events not being related correctly or truthfully

Hope SA don't make us follow-on

every game featuring smith and / or warner post-ban is MASSIVELY asterisked. SA have the story

GONE FUCK OFF

you seem pleasant enough

OUT
BACK TO THE PAVILLION

>>149153525
It goes back to the film Muriel's Wedding (1994)

South Africans give off a tradie-like energy

Do t20 teams regularly track down 282 like Pollock said?

GONE THAT'S OUT

>>149151779
I'm in here

its a fucking road lads

Yeah its the world cup but its only been a thing since 2019 so nobody knows what it means yet

How prestigious is this? I'm assuming Australia cares more about that Ashes thing I always hear about than this.

>>149153565
Bizarre film I’ve only half watched with my girlfriend and her mom who love it for some reason

>>149153623
Not prestigious at all, just a marketing gimmick that the ICC invented a few years ago. It literally only exists for TV revenue.

>>149153623
Yeah the Ashes is the pinnacle of cricket.
This is the second biggest prize in cricket though, and has the potential of becoming the biggest if the ICC can sort out the scheduling and format.

GONE GOTTEM
