Questions to Wood on TMS about fast bowling coming up

>Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced plans to establish and spearhead La Federación de Críquet de las Américas (FECA), a regional body that will "act as a collaborative platform to coordinate the exponential growth of cricket" across North, Central, and South America.
*steps in because tard and spaccy weren't up to the job*

Bummy with the 1.68 econ first spell and a couple of maidens. Reddy is the main man though

This song's been stuck on my head all day
Currently singing it to my cat while holding him in my arms like a baby

The other lads at the club are more racist to the Indian than I am, goes beyond banter at times and I feel a little bit bad for him

As an educated man I make sure to take an active interest in his culture and ensure that he feels welcomed at the club (thoughbeit not necessarily in the country once we develop a sensible immigration policy)

>>149709372
it's after midnight so I guess anything I eat now counts as breakfast?

>direish and diredian immigrants sticking together
wow shocking
I'd deport you both

>>149709456

I might want him to be remigrated ASAP but it's not his fault that he's one of the millions that Boris decided to flood the country with, he's just making a rational decision to move to God's own county (Worcestershire) when he had the opportunity

No need to be rude to the fella while he's here, just need some swift sharp action from the Home Office to send him back

need a coach to come in and completely reverse bazball
bit like trump stopping all the biden things, he'll need to make it his main gimmick and say 'it never should have happened, was a disgrace for test cricket' etc

the (formerly) secret gf has been a good influence on bard's life it seems
would be a lot more unforgiving and racist in that scenario a year or 2 back

we know it's an AI gf mate

4 days off after today for the move
Yes I shall find time for a ghost ship or two

dire gimmick

might watch some cricket too

enjoying my coffee

>the prospect of 4 days of spaccy spamming during the test
grim stuff
do us all a favour and go work on your laughable toothpick arms instead of shitting up these threads

Thinking of buying a cycling machine. Moving to a new house soon enough (not flat haha)

Am a buy it for life type, been eyeing the keiser m3i

>black coffee
dire

>>149709585
hope you pissed on a few anzac graves for me m8

>exercise machine
go outside and do something real you fat neek

Buy a bike instead and ride it to the shops and stuff

Dom Sibley resurgent

Probably lives in a part of the country which has quote and quote """urban youths""" and """aspiring rappers"""

Expensive bike wouldn't last 10 minutes

Limp-wristed poof

>>149709695
yeah bike theft is too common these days + don't particularly want to ride in traffic anyway since bike lanes don't exist in this country barely

cricket resumes

>>149709708
fine then I change my answer to just go out and walk more. You might find some treasure

>steak
>black coffee
the perfect lunch in new soíland

coffee isn’t something I’d take with meal, maybe if it’s a steak sandwich on the go sort of thing where you’re going to be sitting on a bench or something but if you’re talking about a proper steak dinner then no. Coffee before or after for me

>>149709770
And for every civilised person
Coffee with a meal is absurd
Zachy just wasn't raised properly

HANDLED THE BALL!!?

Rather a glass of claret or a beer with a steak. I prefer to drink coffee on its own or just win some shortbread. Don’t know why 4chinners are obsessed with having coffee black.

just realised the tickets i bought for boxing day are in the england fan zone

wouldn't drink coffee with a meal what on earth are you on about

>>149709405
No. I introduced it to /cric/ 4-6 years ago around New Year's and then poosh stole it from me... I have no idea where it originated though. The original, and my 1,000s of other Pepe's, I deleted 3 years back. Oddly enough this is like the third time I've been on /cric/ in like 3 years. I am now leaving.

Fin

>>149709778
Like I said there’s context for it. It’s slightly eccentric behaviour but it’s ok under certain circumstances, perhaps at a bistro cafe where you get your coffee as the meal is being prepared and then you just take another coffee with the meal

>>149709593
got rather muscular arms

>>149709816
see you tomorrow

would love to drink black coffee if I was a neek but I'm not so

>>149709808
We'll treat you ok digger

>>149709818
photogenic evidence suggests otherwise

if you turned all houses into flats there would be no housing crisis

I do what I like and I like instant coffee with milk and sugar. Besides which if I don’t drink instant coffee I get really bad headaches after a couple days

zachy 'I'm posting my v4 vid on my youtube channel in 2 more weeks' bowen

Root is frustrating the attack

>>149709851
This is what they do in my town, it's pretty sad
Grand Victorian family homes turned into 4-5 little shitbox flats

where's the bazball?

all owned by dodgy pakis as well it seems.

>>149709850
KEK he's absolutely boiling at this

>>149709920
good start

yh think maybe bowling first was the right decision if you've got skiddy seamers and your oppo has shit batsmen

having to properly ground this out, coorrr proper cricket

thinking the comment about the England / India styles clash in the last thread might have been a bit of a truthnuke. don't make for very interesting cricket these 2

Not a fan of roiding in plain sight. Keep that shit under wraps, there’s littluns watching

compared to Edgbaston doesn't look like a single pajeet is at this ground

>>149710076
post num?

DROPPED HIS PANT

>>149710132
There’s still a colour bar at Lords. There’s are signs outside the ground saying no wogs no niggers no irish

Pant's gone off for an Instagram break

>>149709808
mental how something like this is actually dangerous in football
barbaric fans

>>149710155
red and yellow i thought

Chris Gayle got some new teeth recently

>>149710214
and a beer

Since when are you allowed a backup keeper? Will he bat? Time was you had to have a player on the field pad up.
What’s to stop us swapping in Foakes for his keeping skills and back to Smith when we bat?
I just don’t like this. Next thing you know, we’ll have an NFL situation where the whole team keeps chopping and changing depending on the match situation.
Fucking seething here. Geoff Boycott is turning in his grave

>>149710076
Repeat it Saar, didn't catch it...

>>149710237
geoff boycott is dead?
damn

just a fuckin kid

>>149710237
"substitutes" shouldn't be permitted in any sport
injured? get off, blame your coaches
didn't play in the final? no medal for you

should allow subs in cricket
makes for more dynamic gameplay
fresh legs are more entertaining than tired ones
evolving game states are more interesting that bogged down stagnant borefests

If a player is injured bad enough they can't play they should be restricted to using the 12th man only, none of this "give Parky a call in Bolton to replace Leachy"

>>149710237
Substitution rules in cricket ain't the reason you been losing tests Anglo....also, Foakes is a shittier keeper than Jamie.

>>149710155
bardbros....

>>149710269
Subs in cricket being allowed to wicketkeeper, bowl & bat? woke nonsense.

Finally a boundary NAD it's a bye, Kek bazball-bros, what happened ?

>>149710273
The biggest cheat to do with subs was the English winning the Ashes because they kept rotating all their bowlers off after a spell so they can recover, and then bringing on shit tier literal who village level cricketers because they were fast & could throw.

>>149710273
>Foakes is a shittier keeper than Jamie.
You literally no nothing about cricket if you think this

>>149710293
>being so bazball you don't even need to touch the ball to hit a boundary

>>149710279
With the amount of cricket happening each year, it was only natural for subs to appear in cricket more prominently

if phillip hughes wasn't allowed to be substituted out after having been murdered in cold blood by sean abbott I don't se why anyone should

have noticed the propensity for australians to accuse everyone else of cheating compared to others
guilty conscience?

mad how im literally 30
can anyman itt explain this?

stop shilling superman, superman has always sucked ass.
he's like sonic but for films instead of video games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt2LHE3oeks
in retrospect this was just good comedy

Do they even give the 12th man in the team sheets these days?

we'll stop shilling superman don't you worry

>>149710293
give me the lowdown on why Indians think about bazball so much. they even waved signs mentioning bazball at the previous two tests.

Anyone seen Stephen Fry?

>>149710353
he's bumming your dad in the toilets

No, but I’ve seen him grill

>>149710401
I’d be shocked

https://youtu.be/xrocrwBVyAs?si=23_OD980HUmlz-5R

mad how 20 posts about substitutes and not one mention of ponting going ballistic in 2005

This is dire when are they going to start Bazzing it

2005 was 40 years ago grandpa

I was thinking about that earlier today actually but it didn't come to mind with all that sub talk.

Gary Pratt is more famous than a lot of players just because of that.

Jeez that looked like it hut the stumps lol. I had it on mute so didn't hear. Off his leg.

One of the things we all love about /cric/ is that it’s a safe and welcoming space for everyone, regardless of sexuality or gender.
So I don’t like that remark mate. Consider that

think you're overestimating how famous gary pratt is

>>149710423
yikes, might have wanted to retire from this board like 5 years ago boomer

>>149710464
mad how i'm literally 30 just mad

I hate pubs that are full of young good looking people

>>149710501
not if he's a woman

what was wrong with using gay as an insult? not homophobic but it's objectively a funny looking and sounding word - it just worked really well

no way England win this match. might as well get ready for the 4th Test

>>149710523
AND THATS THE WAY ITS GOING TO BE OTHERWISE I'LL BEAT YOU UP OUTSIDE A NIGHTCLUB

haha that camerashot with the guy in the way made it look like the advertising board said penis

won't apologise for my piercing insights

i've had loads of gay sex and still say "that's gay" to denigrate something regardless of the co-conversationsperson

if you break down Ben Stokes' career he's basically living of 2 innings: WC final and Headingley
not done much else has he

don't mind a finger up my bum but it has to be a woman's finger

>>149710572
t20 world cup final over

Stokes fucking destroyed those homophobic arseholes kek

>>149710545
Just got to pubs full of boomers.

Why does England have "Whole Earth" printed on their practice kit?

its a sugar-free peanut butter brand, but not very good. there are better alternatives.
more people are cutting down in meat consumption, so peanutbros we rise.

>>149710523
Cricket needs to remain elite and exclusive

ball doesn't seem to be talking much what's the holdup

They’re going to change the ball

i watched the movie sinners. it’s pretty much from dusk till dawn but with niggers.

>40 overs old
>ball is fucked
Dukes should re-open there Kent factory and stop making this shit in india

>>149710589
woke nonsense

>>149710603
I thought it was supposed to be inclusive or something

>>149710619
we don't use that word here mate

we'll have a ball change thanks

what’s going on with Duke balls lately they’re not as good as they used to be, new management?

i watched the movie sinners. it’s pretty much from dusk till dawn but with darkies.

zero England players will reach 100. 1 will reach 50

>>149710634
that's much better.

>>149710627
They're fine but Indians appeal everything, they asked for a ball change easily 30 times the other day before getting one

lots of anger on /cric/ today. suppose this is what happens when you have to watch a 3rpo game instead of a bazball feast. sad

Lol I delivered a parcel to my new address
when I got there it wasn't there(it had been left outside)
thought it had been stolen! (what a start that would have been)
but some lovely old posh fella let me and it had kindly been taken inside
what a relief!
nice cars in the car park as well

I think that was out desu. unless the video had a delay there.

The most important topic in Australian history is the ongoing theft of aboriginal land and the ongoing exclusion of the aboriginal voice from the Australian parliament.
I really think each new /cric/ thread should start with a land acknowledgement

Tried to be more realistic than virtua tennis

i typically acquire gifts for others at least two weeks in advance and the minimum research is whether or not they already have it or someone else had same idea. never failed me once this strategy has.

not accepted cash since i were a teen, i just donate it to the deaf charities.

>>149712391
The guy who complains about not discussing cricket even though we have established that unless it's a tense passage of play it's on-topic to discuss anything as that's what the crowd are also doing in the test

>>149712454
what a waste of money

They’re alright, like TM Lewin. Once you get a few promotions you graduate to proper Jermyn Street stuff. Once you get used to proper cuffs and pearl buttons you can’t really go back

>>149712463
what?

>>149712477
Yeah nothing mindblowing but I needed to update my clothes a bit. My dear papa recognised the brand and said the founder used to live nearby and visited his business back in the day
Thought he was telling porkies so looked him up and he is indeed from around here

Small world

Cameron Winter is a poet

>England not bazzing
>Bindian bowling attack taken only four wickets
What do I think about this test so far chat?

>>149712570
testing

As I said earlier, a grinder. More interesting than one team smashing the bowling apart for a day and a half.

>>149712570
England have a better chance of being competitive when they aren't throwing away cheap wickets for some silly meme meta strategy (which doesn't work) and also batting first is what you should do roughly 19/20 tosses

I've been meaning to say for the past half hour or so that Root is looking good

england aren't good enough for grindy test cricket
bazball is the way

the kiwi seemed alright but don't think he drinks. What a neek
I invited him to a reddit meet on Saturday where he can steal my future missus

Cameron Winter is a faggot

heavy metal is amazing album

Kiwis are notoriously promiscuous, you better watch him. They respect marriage though

I am a angry anti social hateful bastard

>>149712678
same

These bowlers are all tired out

>>149712659
Maybe you should stop drinking so you can get better at redditing

I had to bounce because I want to listen to Cameron winter while watching the cricket
Lovely bloke
Sounded just like Daniel

Top photo my dad's 50th birthday
Bottom photo his 70th birthday
20years just flew
Years flew but we will always have the memories

He is a theologian apparently
Of course he isn't drinking

Stokes appears to be constipated

>bowling first on a blazing hot day at Lords
That would have been a baz too far

Friendship ended with bazball
now sensible test cricc is my best friend

>>149712702
>gay moustache dad
>lesbo haircut mum
>gay son
>fat daughter
>bearded tranny son

We should be grinding on day one. "Bazball" is just a meme word for getting the score up in the second innings, not a new idea.

York, just about, continues to find ways to keep things interesting

No toil on the morrow
Except moving toil (thanks tax payer)

business idea:
basilball

>>149712792
not being able to bat or bowl, standing in too close so as to chase down everything hit through, excellent keeping

They should start beaming Stokes

>england bats sensibly
>bindian bowlers = disappear

funny how vegetables always get stuck in your teeth but fruit never does

opposite for me

stop eating green bananas they're not supposed to be crunchy

Business idea: Post hotties

popcorn and pork
are the two most likely things to get stuck in your teeth

nah its granny smiths for me, your export (grown in South Africa, France, Spain...)

I might be a tarq but I have rented for four years
Nothing has come easy

I had a salad of lettuce, cucumber, olives, tomatoes, and scallions and the lettuce and scallions were the biggest culprits

deploy the tactical bugs

GET THEM ANTS ATTACK ATTACK

Almost feel guilty that I didn't go bouldering today even though I am moving tomorrow
That's how addicted I am

Do you think these things she's holding get stuck in your teeth?

ITS AN UGLY PLANET! ITS A BUG PLANET!

>>149712941
empanadas?

>>149712941
They look like they'd melt in your mouth ifykwim

This would not even bother Australians, such stoic people

same old england

I mean, there is no way I could have made Leeds for an on wall sesh today
Too much to do

>>149712969
wore a meme cork hat at an Ashes test but got no reaction. an Australian here said they probably thought I just wanted to keep the bugs away.

2-1 england, then

>>149712937
I might get a game of petanque in tomorrow morning before the cricket, or maybe tomorrow evening after the cricket

Zachy "not really into cricket anymore" Borewen at it again I see.

>>149712949
Thats probably what they are

I know he’s your captain but you can’t seriously like him as a bloke

>>149712982
Yeah, Aussies don't wear those so they would have definitely seen you as trying to keep the flies off and wouldn't say anything because the joke has to keep playing out. It's like fosters

Hope he stays on 99 overnight

Great pub
Not sure I will find any reason to come here again though as it will cease to be my ends

Imagine having an entire night to plan your hundred celebration

Poot wont get a wink of sleep.

>wearing a necklace over a t shirt
knew I always hated this guy for a reason

99 and out tomorrow

Reckon my grandfather is richer than Ollie popes dad

He's a worse batsman than Ollie pope
But a better one than zak Crawley

>>149712941
>australian gold toenails
10/10

digits noticed

Why would anyone wear a necklace over a t shirt

CAZZIE FILTER:
Without looking it up, name Joe Denly’s two test wickets

Ohh I can't desu

Owning a leasehold flat really isn't renting
I don't know what he meant by this

I will pay ground rent, sure

But houses tend to be quite a lot to take on for a first time buyer, lots of work
Absolutely nothing wrong with a humble YO1 flat as your first buy

>pay ground RENT to the freeholder
>not renting

To add to this, houses are a major facet of the bourgeoisie
Are there any houses in God's own north Korea?
No, I think not

>>149713348
Yes, a tiny miniscule amount

yes if you have a leasehold you have not escaped renting
zachy "not really into cricket anymore" bowen is a massive retard

Can't believe Zachy's been done in by rentberg by the oldest trick in the book

That's a completely absurd suggestion and you know it
From tomorrow I have basically escaped renting

it's not renting it's just a regular tribute to his feudal lord

Had been quite looking forward to watching the Pearsmen on Sky Sports Cricket
This is not an ideal start against bottom of the league

Some of you retards probably think council rates are rent too. No fucking wonder Farage will be the next PM absolute state of you

Does he even have a 900 year lease or he cucked by the extension fees?

I'll flip it for 300k in 4 years
York is getting mental
Changed a lot since even I've been here

council tax, as the name implies, is a tax
ground rent, as the name implies, is rent

but I'm not paying rent am I
I have a mortgage yes
the ground rent is miniscule

I am not going to be paying rent really am I
A tiny amount yes

>>149713517
I can assure you I have a 900 year lease

It's just idiotic to say I am moving from one form of rent to the other
I am really not

If you do exactly the same thing in Scotland it's not called rent (because Scots aren't complete and utter retards).
Whomever said it's a tribute to your feudal overlord is correct, it's literally not rent by the common understanding of the term and arguing about it is like arguing that not eating pineapple on pizza is correct due to the fact that pineapple is a fruit

The idea of Ownership is quite semantic anyway
You think you 'own' something
What does it even mean

The dead own nothing (of material value)

I brown nose the new Ireland posted so that's why I just ordered Dubliners

he's going to feel like a mug in 900 years when his lease is up

Feels nice to have an Irish poster in these parts that isn't a neeky narcissist

I sincerely hope you enjoy it

>>149713669
lol
is the singularity that near?
thought the one benefit of hanging out in this hellscape was that it ends soon

obvs not irish

For me, it’s Araby
Though speaking of Irish literature, did you know Samuel Beckett is the only Nobel laureate to have also played first class cricket

literally me vs v7

>>149713686
I think I will

Quite partial to streams of consciousness

>>149713434
It makes limited difference if I buy a house or a flat
You know this
Got thousands of pounds of furniture arriving this weekend so I will finally own something

And I will finally be happy

finally got the career
the car
the house

now at 40 I can finally start my life

you will own something
and you will be happy

>>149712702
>reverse image
>turns up reddit

predict that zachy will pretend to love dubliners due to his weary bard contrarianism

>>149713039
>great pub
>has wooden floors made to look old
>has posters framed for gigs
>has flat screen tvs for the sport

I know I shouldnt really say this considering my upbringing
but imagine renting somewhere and having to get all the furniture in
that's the reality of life in York
Literally all unfurnished
When you rent somewhere you still have to get all the furniture in

>>149713972
I will love Dubliners because it's a great book

>>149713294
When the fuck did Joe Denly play a test, fucker is like 42 and was over a decade ago.

As I say
Its just metaphysical consolation
I have suffered enough as to not have rich parents

>>149714009same
>last play
is what I meant and he was always shit, who even remembers.
>look it up
>only played 5 years ago
feels much longer.

Good recovery from the Pearsmen desu

Actually hate all the stupid names they give for the counties. It’s terrible in League and Union as well.

laughing at the thought of zachys interior design choices

His interior design choice is having no actual furniture and not even being able to place a mirror on the wall.

>>149714005
Now you are thinking like a /lit/izen. Anyone who disagrees just say they were filtered and refuse to elaborate

>he can’t even put up posters because that would violate the terms of his lease
Is there anything more cucked than renting? Think about it logically

>>149714109
They don't make sense, like wtf do Warriors have to do with Wigan.
The only new one I'm ok with is Leigh because the owner is an eccentric and that's his favourite animal, there's a logic to it

>look at shots of the stands in the test today
>quite a number of empty seats
>look like Lord’s website
>”sold out”
Who the fuck are these cunts buying tickets and then missing half the days play?

>>149712477
>proper Jermyn Street stuff
what would that be?

>Only 240 runs on the first day
It's just not cricket.

don't think your parents can gift you that much money. it's probably joint ownership in his mum's name
every mortgage correspondence he had, mummy would have had to be there and lead

Don’t think I actually fucking care about that goons rented flat.

yes you do. it's the talk of /cric/

>>149714317
they were protesting the lack of bazball today.

Nothing can come between me and my own property
I triumph of the will

I suppose these are coming with me

>>149714729
>shelf of books that normies buy because they're the only things they've heard of

>the conspiracy against the human race
based redditor

This place is going to a weekend to clear out

>>149714774
Good book desu

>deleted it
lol

glad you've deleted those ladies lacostes from your life though

interest in war reflects poorly on a man.

I own too many clothes
Too much furniture
The one saving grace is I have the next four next days off toil

>>149714753
lmao, looks like he went /lit/ and took a bunch of recommendations KWAB
>he forgot 4plebs exists

https://youtu.be/FMi3AGWsm0I?si=U7CokvNlcddhWjZr

So true

>Let's make fun of him because he... reads books!
Peak midwit hours

I am so glad I have the whole weekend to clean this place up
Because it honestly looks like Dylan Thomas boat house

actually we're making fun of him because he's zachy and we're jealous we don't have rich relatives that can nitro boost our life

the bowens have money. lots of it

How is a leased bedsit any different to a rented bedsit?

make sure you chuck your tv in the charity shop as well you phoneposting mong

>>149715238
nice stack

>>149715428
Yeah

>>149715436
Why can't you just be happy for me for one moment?

>>149707912
>>149707912
KWAB

I didn't choose to be wealthy

>>149715564
kek why are they like this?

I happened to be born into a wealthy family
But I didn't choose it

>>149715428
the bowens are tight and don't give any of their money to charity
t. bigger knower

can confirm Mrs Bowen is tight at least

Can't wait to secure the keys tomorrow

>>149715578
I always believe /cric/ posts

Send me the basslines of the future
My good sense doesn't win me any wars

Time to sleep
Another day of toil to follow
Some of us have to work for our meals

the bowens are landlordbergs who aren't passing any work ethic down the generations
meanwhile bard's mum was some direish migrant that came over on a boat, popped out 9 sprogs then worked her way into oxford uni
literally good v evil

>>149715698
Here ya go la
https://youtu.be/6xb898sQtu8?si=HEPp59lKFLQv-muG

I could beat the shit out of either of them

I don't have toil tomorrow
I am picking up the keys

Reckon his flat is one of those care home ones
Seems to be suffering a bit of dementia
Repeating himself the poor sod

>>149715756
bard mum is laughably poor

>>149715860
I have never felt more mentally engaged in my life

has zachy actually proven he has any wealth?
every pic of his current abode screams lower middle class

>>149715894
*IQ gets into double figures*

ok I've unironically just given Heavy Metal by Cameron Winter a spin
no idea what I'm in for but this better be good

Love takes miles
Love takes years

>pozzie hours

whos the cazzies now?
