Thread 149636472

here's your cricket bro edition
play restarting in a few minutes at a sunny Birmingham
England need 536 with 7 wickets and 80ov remaining

Aus v WI also on later

YFO

YFO

just looked in the direction of Birmingham and cant see a thing

Certain man should only be used as the first two words of the sentence
dire execution of gimmick otherwise

>dangerous conditions for both team with wet pitch / outfield
>would normally take another few hours to dry
>the ball will be seaming miles so we must get them back out there right now sarrrs don't make us leave in the middle of the series again
same old rigdia

certain toothpick armed man

>>149636472 (OP)
bad bake
aus vs wi is the more interesting game and you didn't even give it the grace of a score

>>149636543
this thread will fly along and that game won't start until the next one so didn't bother

if we didnt have good infrastructure:
>1. pitch would still be drenched
>2. no Indian immigration
save Britain, divest in British infrastructure today

good, ive had it with you poms

>>149636594
excellent game that
almost as good as dragon quest viii

I like you zachy and support your interest in that game unlike most here
but BLC05 is simply the GOAT

If you played Final Fantasy as a kid youre probably a nonce

tummy hurts

>kid
FOY
I mostly played Tekken 3 as a child

ive never really watched cricket, trying to get my head around the format and tactics
will england just play defensively so it ends in a draw?

what makes "kid" an americanism

>laugh at the indians for not winning the match because of the rain
>rain stops
>immediately lose a wicket
kek

>target: 608
kek

For me, it is

jesus fucking christ he was lucky that wasn't aiming for his HEAD you can barely see anything out there
get some torches out there and get them off the field

>From Middle English kide, from Old Norse kið (“young goat”), from Proto-Germanic *kidją, *kittīną (“goatling, kid”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *gʰaydn-, *ǵʰaydn- (“goat”) or Proto-Indo-European *gidʰ- (“kid, goatling, little goat”). Compare Swedish and Danish kid, German Kitz and Kitze, Albanian kedh and kec. The sense of child has been in use since the 1590s as cant, and since the 1840s in informal use.[1][2]
not seeing it being an americanism tbg

gonna play brotherberg
the showdown of the century
doubt I will win

Jamie Smith is a kino cricketer
Don't enjoy watching midget Duckett, faggot Crawley, lesbian Root, down-syndrome Brook or peewee Stokes
But Smith is kino

Reckon instead of copying Smudge's nickname, we should call Jamie Smith "Fudge" since he looks like he just came from steamworks

Root looks like an upper caste Norman.
Is that why he's called a lesbian? Refined facial features?

Are England going to lose 5-0 to Australia this year even though Australia aren't even that great of a team anymore?

reminder zachy didn't acknowledge his brother until a good 5-6 years into his /cric/ career but would talk about his sister often. something strange going on there

>>149636934
Nah
Surely not
The Australian team that rolls out this summer will be 2010/11 tier

what's the most uncricket-like name of a test cricketer
Hilfenhaus?
you'd expect that name second in line for the cyanide rations in the bunker, not at the crease on a civilised green

now that poohit and poohili are gone, reckon BGT is as good as ours again

>>149636934
god I hope so

WHy is Bumrah playing this match?
Why isn't SKY playing the series?

>>149636997
He plays well with a colon full of cum
If he hasn't had his fill in a while, he comes off the boil
DO NOT ask me how I know this

>>149636997
he's played over 50 test matches

isn't Hilfenhaus Ricky Ponting's cousin or something
aus posters can confirm

>>149637002
Bumrah isn't playing.

SKY is not a test player, like not even close to being one.

Absolute shitter these days

>>149637039
already worked him out last game
he's the classic 'heel' in wrestling terms and leans into it. he's not the best cricketer but he's kino to watch - sort of what Andre Nel tried to do but Siraj is much better at it because people love to hate him more. Triple H tier

don't think either Sashit Memedulkar or Shitcky Memeting had defining innings like that

There’s probably some herb you can grow in pots that repels them. I’ll have a look for you

>>149638857
eucalyptus, mint, lavender, citrus, alliums

>three Tests going on simultaneously
soul

mint or lavender is easy indoors in pots. alliums are the family of onions and garlics, some of them are ornamental or you could put some garlic for example in a window box, you’ll have to research what suits you.
eucalyptus and citrus you can grow them inside in pots as bonsai trees or just keep trimming them back they’ll be fine, you’ll need a bit of research on those too.
I think the simplest easy and quick way is get some mint and/or lavender in pots put them by the windows and see if those geckos are offended enough to go away

Bazball doesn't do draws

If "Mankadding" is named after someone, why isn't an underarm delivery known as "Chappelling"?

Wish zack would bring out the shitjeet gimmick again

Overarming was invented by Eric Bowlsman

windies sub-100 4th innings score incoming

strange that looked high to me

Stumping a batsman who has clearly grounded himself and believes the over to have ended should be known as "careying".

This could be a kino chase by the windies. Great match.

>>149640067

don't (see 1st and 2nd reply ITT)

carvery > restaurant roast

>>149646111
so true
basically my point

and asterisk by that result, as people literally drowned to death in Texas during the rain-hit test. deeply disrespectful to the children who died.
>>149645500
it's a long way home for them all the way down the road
>>149645936
it's a summer activity here and our fourth "sport" at best, what are we meant to do when our current strat is to hamstring ourselves against a nation of 1.4bn.
>>149646111
it's a dying "art" because all it takes is a single elderly family member turning veggie due to propaganda she (or he) read online and its not worth the effort doing a roast every week, and so the skills disappear. so some people go out and have it done for them.

love a walk followed by a roast

>>149646266
why did you do it then

basil heard thunder
he's absolutely shitting it poor sod
think the trick is not to comfort them because then they think there is reason to be scared or something

>>149646280
What the fuck are you banging on about now you dickhead?

>>149646326
banging ur mum

zachy = basil
thunder = the prospect of bouldering in yorkshire gyms on weekends because you know who might be there

>>149646313
there is reason to be scared though, lightning strikes and wind and flash flooding. Basil is right

There is nothing wrong with reddit

Why do India get a home match in a tour?

England have the best opening partnership in world cricket since 2024, they average 40

>>149646313
>think the trick is not to comfort them because then they think there is reason to be scared or something
dogs are ultimately not that clever, its best to comfort them.
my dog started being scared of sudden noises so i let her sniff an item before i open it up (package, bottle, box, etc) so she knows it's nothing.

>>149646407
Reassure him that he’s fairly safe where he is and nobody else is going to do anything stupid like go fly a kite. Dogs are funny, we used to have a rottie (guard dog) that would chase the thunder barking and leaping into the air trying to bite it, protecting us from the storm by fighting it

>>149646547
i guess all the people there will have no choice but to live in the UK then

noticed the direish flag constantly leaps to spaccy's defence
might have to bring back the noticer gimmick at this rate

>>149646544
He’ll smell it on you. Just pat him and calm him down and yeah you can say exactly what I wrote he’ll understand by your tone and mood and scent if he doesn’t know all the words

genuinely can't wait to buy loads of Tarq furniture

on mummy's Amex card

>>149646604
the Welsh and the Irish are bros is all

Why dont you guys discuss politics and conspiracy theories all the time?

>>149646640
explain why zachy and bard constantly seethe at each other then

>>149646585
yes :)

is habitat really tarq? would think of it as more upper echelons of the middle class myself

The two faggots should meet up and have a boxing match

>>149646659
this poobate is over. bard plays cricket and follows many formats including FC. zachy by his own admission is "not really into cricket anymore". he should fuck off.

bard is the protag
it was already decided by his many wins (ending the shitjeet character by exposing his lies about his cousin, the freethinker greentext post etc). not even going to mention certain literal who and his attempts at rigging the poll

bye bye

thinking about making a cricket related post

>>149646713
never said that

>>149646756
wasn't rigged. Your boyfriend lost. The Australian old guard looked out for me

The Bindies

>bard plays cricket
he's a team mascot, which is arguably half a step above zachy watching it in his bedsit
>follows FC
nobody cares lol. that doesn't mean anything when he follows t20s enthusiastically (loses lots of points for this)

Your fielding today was amazing, and you are so ripped

>>149646813
>>149646779
lying rat

>bedsit
not for much longer

>>149646779
not me

>>149646888
lying rat

Bard and his cocksucker can have a tag team match againat Zacharias and whoever he can find to be his partner

being THAT into t20 is (mildly) eccentric not reprehensible and certainly not condemnable.
also on the other side there are levels to following the cricket, the least of which is knowing that it’s on

unironically wasn't me
I play a bit of tennis yeah (singles to a reasonably high standard) but that post wasn't me

>wasn't rigged
funny how the poll link got posted and bard had a quick 4 vote lead before it 'somehow' became a 2 vote deficit after a long bit of inactivity

>>149646958
lying rat

based bnob has spaccy on the ropes here

>>149646958
Why's this bloke so obsessed with you anyway?

>bowl good length
>take wickets
This is the trvth

73/5 seems less than ideal my dear black boros

he actually thinks I rigged it like Georgia 2020

>>149646996
no idea

Ian Bishop is the Sun Tzu of pace

>>149647058
which part of Wales are you from?

now that the dust has settled let's admit that this bowling attack >we're putting out at the minute is utter shite (Woakes opening? no spinner and a bunch of who-tier bowlers with 10 tests between them?) and any runs scored against them are ridiculously overrated

and yes I'm allowed to say bowling attack

https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/149572390/#149576214
Kek that is obviously him.
You should just admit it Zachy.

Chris woakes was being used as some sort of strike bowler first test
Really weird
I think >we basically have no bowling resources at all
Not sure why Ollie Robinson isn't playing desu

We've basically done to him what Pakistan have done to abbas. I think we don't consider him fast enough but he's way better than Josh tongue and that tattooed up saffer

>>149647134
Woakes has something but he needs to be able to maintain it for the whole spell, once he can do 5-6 overs and not take an over at the start to loosen up he could be really good. If he can’t improve then he shouldn’t be opening but aside from Archer who’ve you got?

>>149647156
unironically isn't

>>149647149
you're wrong

I'm not zachy and even though it looks bad for him because he often posts tennis blogs, there are multiple tennis watchers in /cric/. I know because I'm one too (wasn't me though)

Autism

>>149647210
Why lie?
Not like your posts are EVER cricket-related anyway. Your transition to r/bouldering failed, you crawled back here because you at least you know you are the poomunity's punching bag and its better than having no mates irl.

literally just posted a cricket related post you neekazoid

>>149647134
Woakes is a steady first change bowler who gets in the team because he can (could) also bat a bit. his batting has gone south lately and he's not opening bowler tier. the rest are such shitters that stokes has been looking decent again

>>149647317
Saying "you're wrong" is not cricket-related, sorry pal.

and I have around 11 mates actually

I don't think your VPNs count as mates x

>>149647362
based bard at the end of the Worcestershire u16 trials

>>149647345

>>149647178

neek

>>149647378
kek that was mean

>>149647387
Incredibly basic takes made after being accused of no longer being interested in cricket, hmmm really makes me think.

turns out (you)'re wrong
because it's impossible for any guy to have more than 3 actual mates. you could have 4+ associates but only 3 mates. also impossible to make new mates after 28

>>149647420
better than any of your takes
boring neek

Do pozzies really? Kinda grim ngl

it's kind of impossible to make friends after 27 years of age yeah
stranger things have happened but it's very rare

>>149647453
Non-sequitur, because at least I still follow cricket You just """"""""suddenly""""""" show an interest in discussing it instead of blogging after saying you are "not into cricket anymore". You lost cunt.

>>149647493
it's easy in london but you chose to move to a place where the average age is 64 so of course it'll be hard

worst grimdies

swear certain man claimed to have made a proper mate at the bouldering gym who was going to become his right hand man
not sure how that fizzled out

>>149647495
Im still massively into cricket even though game's gone
Follow every test match and comment on them here frequently
I EVEN go to county games

I still believe in Project 2025: The zachy & hiba reunion

>>149647518
yeah I kind of accept that, and I have made peace with it somewhat
London just isn't part of my DNA

>>149647536
oh yeah I actually have tbf
well reminded
don't use certain man unless at start of sentence though

you just used certain man 3 words in

Vicpoorians using a single slice of bread instead of a roll.

grire. why have this series at all?

>>149647672
and it’s not even buttered

Lot of fat neeks ITT at the moment

>>149647662
They need to fuck off. They aren't a test nation's clacker

>>149647680
At least Alzarri Joseph went pure Windies T20 with 13 (4)

>>149647680
cheeky statpad sesh for Aus

Windies aren’t far off though. The attack is good and the tail bats alright, if they had a couple of good batspersons they’d be right up there.
The captain is a good captain, and this is only his first series as captain

Sausage in bread not a sausage in a roll
Hot dog goes in a roll

The difference has been the middle orders, Australia has Head and Smith and Carey. Literally what the commentators are saying as I type

>>149647770
Poor cope

>>149647770
Hot dogs go in buns mate not rolls

>>149647680
in my humble view, there's not point of having any Australian series unless Kath is involved

Send me the basslines of the future
My good sense doesn't win me any wars
And crazy only let my brown hair all over the goddamn floor

>>149647809
Same thing

Shamar Joseph currently raping Gary

Come on west Indies
Score some fucking runs

>>149647790
I won't argue with you, especially if you're West Australian

>>149647888
They aren’t the same they’re made differently

would be hilarious if Aus only win by double digits from here

>>149647943
Look up hot dog roll, its the same thing as a hot dog bun. I don't know why you're trying to argue with me.

>>149647962
I would deeply respect that kind of last two wickets rearguard action

this tennis player jarry must be the biggest tarq ever
peruvians are meant to be 5 foot 6 and brown but he looks like something from a Nazi laboratory on Titania

>>149647977
There’s no such thing as a hotdog roll, it’s a bun. It’s not even an argument. Buns and rolls aren’t the same thing

>brown eyes
>nazi
he also looks very latino
strange post all round

this tennis player jarry must be the biggest tarq ever
Chileans are meant to be 5 foot 6 and brown but he looks like something from a Nazi laboratory on Titania

>>149648041
You're being very pedantic

he doesn't look south American desu
zero native in him

rather depressing series for west Indies
just no batting whatsoever
Australia have looked shit and West Indies have just been that much worse

the fact that /cric/ isn't calling Cameron Winter shit must mean they rate him

>>149648072
Not really, this kind of thing leads to greater misunderstandings and confusion and hindrance of the purpose of language which is fundamentally to exchange ideas. You’re alright I feel better getting that off my chest please enjoy your coco pops

>>149648208
He isn’t shit, I’ve only seen two of his songs though.
Been playing that Foxwarren song Bruce posted a few days ago

*be's elite*
especially for 40 quid off Amazon

>>149648208
people just ignore your shilling now (you probably just copied it off /mu/ as usual anyway)

Excellent weather

It's ogre Windies bros

why are modern batshomosapiens so awful
era of flattest tracks as well

>>149648410
don't really browse /mu/ desu so not really
It came up on my Spotify recommended
I had seen the album cover before and I thought it might be some kind of zoomer cloud rap kind of thing
turns out it's just great throwback music with really good lyrics
like a good version of nick cave

>Coach Brendon McCullum said England "probably" made a mistake in deciding to bowl first during their 336-run defeat by India in the second Test at Edgbaston.

>"I think as the game unfolded we probably looked back on that toss and said 'did we miss an opportunity there?' and it's probably fair," McCullum told BBC Test Match Special.

>"We didn't expect that the wicket would play quite as it did and hence we probably got it slightly wrong."

lol

not really sure where west Indies go from here

Doesn't look good for the Ashes for Britzoloids

>>149648628
They're playing Nepal soon m8

ah yes Nick Cave
half of the decent music talent to have ever come out of that nation (Tame Impala is the other)

>>149647757
right¿ have been saying this a lot, but we need liek an Erasmus in fc cricket, worldwide. only way minnows have a fair chance ngl

>>149648840
ok
enjoy your shitty dance music you sober neek

>>149648976
have you tried Jandek, fella¿

>>149648927
Something like every county/shield etc from the test nations side takes on one minnow youth (u23s or younger) and he joins the squad for training and if he’s any good and ready he might get a few games. Only issue is it takes a spot from a local youth, but it might be alright and the benefits of exposing those young players to those coaches for the good of cricket

just gave basil a generous helping of my mums home cooked fish pie
he's absolutely loving it

hes purposely not eating the peas I chucked in with it though and licking around them

>>149650360
Yeah, sending the lads that are captains is also brilliant as they will certainly return as better captains. It’s some real once in a lifetime life changing stuff. Either way, alternatively you send the best player you have and he comes back better

Is it too soon for an

Almost all of their channels are banned here, why are these niggers still making videos about India.
No one here even knows when or whom they play against.

oh have a day off bnob you little weasel
always backed zachy as he's the only one who attends /cric/ meets irl and once attended on his own then went back (proper protag behaviour). bard takes loads of mental health breaks and once said everyone on /cric/ was a loser, or something similar and thinks he's above meeting irl. he's also washed up as his 32 year old eyes and reflexes have taken away his front foot cut and he now just posts about wanting to go to india and sniff poo

>always backed zachy
because it's obviously you replying you fucking mong
imagine being so unpopular on /cric/ you have to be your only supporter lmao

>>149653634
