>>149558612There’d be more fours with larger gaps between fieldsmen if the boundary was of a more appropriate diameter and there’d be more chance of exciting 3s and 4s all run
England had the rope pulled in because they want to really baz when they get in to bat.
Of course this means everyone will be out for 12 or less but hey at least 4s are entertaining
more like woakes nonsense if iykwim
>all run
fukin cringe glad when the 'dred starts and you test babies fuck off
Stupid shot. He’s tempting to kill his wicket
if the bowlers get to change the ball the batters should get to change the pitch or at least do a heavy roller

>hits a six over the extremely brought in boundary rope
boring
>places it deep between two fieldsmen and they’re coming back for four all run as the throw comes in this’ll be close
not boring
>>149558716It’s the bad kind of autism
>the boundary must be symmetrical (for no reason)The best course is no boundary rope but since we must evidently have them for wh&s then they should not be less than 2m and not more than 3m from the natural boundary
Personally I don't think it should be a six unless you hit it over the fence. The ropes should only exist as a means of preventing injury to fielders, and a ball that goes over the ropes but stays on the ground should only be a four.
>>149558716On TMS they said this morning that it is nearly as far in as they bring it for the women's game. Only reason is that England can choose where it is so it must be part of their gameplan
If you’re injuring yourself on the fence which is 2m away from the rope that’s a natural selection issue imho
what a car crash of a shot
Objectively hitting the ball out the stadium should be 6 and out, think of the damage done to the ball landing in the car park
six should also be a dismissal like in back garden cricket
caught in the crowd should be out, gets everyone interested in the game a lot more
>caught the Singh-Khan trophy!
>>149558788We had a rule, into the pool on the full was out. Onto any roof or over any fence was also out and in all these scenarios the batskid had to retrieve the ball himself

just won 4-0 4-0 at tennis
barely missed
>>149559129kirdblt (kek it really do be like that)
Only circumstance in which I'll welcome them to my green and pleasant land
300+ and it's moral victory for India
no, I don't think India will be able to take a single wicket. sadly
and we were having such a nice yank free thread
nooooo the screens are too bright
Just returned from some exercise. Appears I missed a few wickets.
Why are britpakis so much better at getting into the England cricket team compared to brindians?
business idea: start the fucking game an hour earlier
business idea: if you can't take strike get off the fucking field
>>149559646good question!
>>149559646Poverty, brindians usually focus on getting gainful employment such as doctors or dentists. Britpakis focus on sports, fail and end up either as takeaway workers or uber drivers
>>149559585how did you start the second set without finishing the first?

really strong smell of poo in this thread
>>149559817>t. smeller and dealer of it
guys this new ball looks out of shape, they should replace it
If the batswielders don't want the ball replaced all the time they shouldn't hit it so hard
>>149559788short set format
ausgaylians clearly still thinking about the last ashes test too much. feeling guilty because they know they got away with one thanks to the rain
Why would anyone play girly sets when they themselves are not a man
Doesn't add up
>short format "sport"
incredibly grim, dire even.
Poms don’t like rain because none of them can swim
That reminds me, during the last test Bard teased an information reveal about himself (likely that he is either married, divorced, gay or all 3)
Did anything come of that or is he an utter utter coward on the level of the coward Joe Root
Bard is a priest. Father Bard
>>149559970he brought it up again recently
he has a secret gf. didn't (You) the post that claimed this and he normally (You)s everything so pretty solid proof
>>149559953nobody wants to play 3 full sets after work in some casual ladder league
kek did bowen get exposed at tennis AGAIN? can't do anything about those unathletic welsh genes I guess
do noodly arms help in tennis? i don't play summer activities aimed at casuals
>>149560057no I won without dropping a game
better at tennis than bouldering desu
you're not at all good at bouldering mate, stop deluding yourself already
vastly better than you thoughever
he's very good at bewildering
>>149560142even that's probably not true. you'll only be slightly better due to doing it for years
I’m thinking it’s a bit of a road and England have done alright to take 5, India will be satisfied but also gave away a couple of wickets being retards although on the other hand Woakes should’ve at least one more. Nice day of cricket
basically any decent sporty person could master v3 after 2-3 days training so you basically start at v3 and then you're at around zachy level who's maybe v3.3 or so
this irish fella really loves woakes
>you
>decent sporty person

Tennis is a funny sport you really do have to know what you’re doing more than being athletic but you still need some athleticism if your opponent has some. I only played it a bit but my Grandmother was a club member and we used to watch it together her favourite player was McEnroe.
Zachy would easily beat any of you plebs who’ve never even walked on a grass court and wouldn’t even lose a point I’d wager
it's not a very accessible sport tbf
really hard to pick up as sports go
>>149560206He showed a bit of passion, shame he also ran out of puff and gave up on it
>>149560208ok I realise it's a touchy subject so won't carry on
v4 soon mate, before 2030 for sure
thats why the yanks had to invent pickleball for the fat neeks
basically an easier version
zachy's not tall enough to be that good at tennis
don't think there's ever been a quality 5'10" men's tenniser
pickleball is shit it’s the sort of rubbish should be kept for toddlers to have a bit of fun before they’re old enough to not injure themselves like tee ball or french cricket. It’s literally what we accuse them of having done by turning rounders into baseball.
If adults want to play lazy tennis they can play half court
zachy only plays first to 4 in tennis because 4 (v4) is also his limit in bouldering
and he's known locally for his fourhead
>>149560285Michael Chang, just ottomh
rod laver was 5’8 (I had to look it up to check)
zachy is tall enough technically speaking but the issue is at least 1 foot of that height is his ungainly forehead so he doesn't really get the same advantages
need a /cric/ intervention / brainstorming sesh
toothpick arms and welsh genetics - what sports can such a person have some success in?
>>149560307padel is shit as well
>>149560569there is unironically zero sports you are better than me at
I am better than all of you
310/5 isn't that great for the batsmanning team on this road desu. it's about 50-50 right now
there are sports yet to be introduced to mankind that i could heem everyone in this poomunity at
mental how it would now cost over a grand a month to rent the flat I have bought
york rental market is dire

>old with the old
university of loife
obvious typo of sorts you fat neek

mfw mummy buys me a flat in old rorke town

>>149562701zachy's a very lucky boy
don't want to hear any complaints about his life on /cric/ ever again. not even in the top 10 most oppressed posters here (neither is the other civil servant btw)
Why does this general get all the pooftahs?

Money talks, Crawley walks (to the pavilion)
for those of you who don't know zaky c's dad is far richer than zachy b's grandpa
what sort of pajeet tier curating you got planned for this pitch bongs

The average MLB player would demolish cricket

baseball's '''''''rep''''''' in the comparison was ruined years ago. also YFO you fat fuck
Big fan of Reeves for blubbering and crashing the pound just as I send a couple of clients a couple of invoices on dollars, more money for me
>Bungledesh
Match fixing or are they just THAT shite?
>>1495647417/5 is not unprecedented. Match fixing is very difficult and moreso the more people involved in it
Mad how the only win Essex have had all season is the one they had to cheat for against the Pears. By rights, they should be bottom of the league
the name pears is very neeky
pears are one of the best fruits
but it also makes you think of bard's nemesis - women
...yh rate pears but also mangoes, jackfruits, blueberries, pomegranates etc etc
>>149565731he has one of his own now
posted this earlier
>>149556038
>>149556038noice. what's she like fella¿
last night was quite boring watching
need some bazball tonight pls
>>149566027it's an AI
only way to get someone to laugh at his jokes
makes sense he was banging on about ai being the future an awful lot
/Cric/ would be so much better if someone just gave Mrs Bowen a wire coat hanger to use back in 1988
>>149570627Real cricket starts at midnight fella
India will still be batting at tea
Stokes has fucked this one
Strip his captaincy and hang Root for good measure
>>149572182pop down to perth steam works mate they'll fix your void
checked the score. india appear to be winning
>Its another 3.5 days of boring batting on a road episode
thanks for the update (unironically, im not watching the game (too busy listening to black sabbath))
it's not about winning or losing
it's about having fun
Australia should forfeit the match on ethical grounds if shamar is selected
checked the score. india appear to be having more fun
the best boulderer is the one that has the most fun
>>149572328what he do to you
nothing can come between my coco di mama sandwich and coffee breakfast sitting in front of the art museum (location subject to change as won't be as convenient when I move)
can someone explain to me the relationship between bouldering and boulders
>>149572384Zero, boulders are large rocks usually found outside
Bouldering is done inside on plastic walls while attached to safety lines so you don't fall 3 feet and graze your knee
