are you lost mate? this isn't /mlb/
you don't belong

Joined some training lecture meeting and it turned out I was only 1 of 4 people who showed up FFS so I can't just leave otherwise they'd notice

about a year ago i had a very upsetting moment, i was listening to idioteque by radiohead, and i realised that one day i will die, and no longer be able to listen to idioteque. ive legit been terrified of death since then

Can’t wait to get /bbl/ up and running in a few months

Zachy just innocently enjoying his new little shoebox and countysperg seems intent on bringing him down
Not cricketing behaviour if you ask me

I’ve gone off radiohead recently on account of their absolute lack of support for cricket. It’s a shame really some good albums, and I feel a little bit like it’s how I’d imagine finding out the sausages I enjoyed last weekend at the neighbours barbie were actually homemade from roadkill swan

>>149810174
i literally just sharted liquid poo from my arsehole

baby swans, goslings as it were

>bard with a little jab because countysperg sperged out on him for making a thread (how dare he?!) once
kek based

Zachy will throw a fit if people discuss mortgages but it's alright when he starts talking about leaseholds
Really makes you think

Why didn’t Zachy buy a house? Then it’s a freehold, and you get a garden, don’t need to worry about upstairs having tap dancing lessons or the service company billing you an extra hundred quid a month for ‘sinking funds’
You can get a three bed in Perivale for £550k

>>149810250
What was my little jab?

If I do a little jab, you're gonna know about it (I used to spar with Dillian Whyte back in my boxing days)

>>149810266
Grandpa Bowen is a miserly old curmudgeon and actually hasn't given Ma Bowen much of his ill-gotten wealth

She's a lady of humble means despite her pretensions to grandeur and can only afford a leasehold

Either that, or she simply doesn't love Zachy enough to buy him a freehold (I bet she'd buy freeholds for his siblings, they're the better Bowens)

>>149810277
Might have to give you a little jab for the chaos you're wreaking in /cricket/

Wonder if Ned Bowen has a freehold

Pozzie vermin out lol that's a good one

speaking of, certain man needs to stop ducking bard and sort the boxing match
gives it a lot of chat but never commits. can't just rig it like the poll and flat purchase mate

Are any of these related to former Notts seamer Mark Bowen?

It would be silly to agree to the boxing match, Bard being half Irish and with greater reach will easily beat him

Nothing weirder than the Irish larping as oppressed colonial subjects. They were an integral part of the United Kingdom with their MPs sitting in the House of Commons, not a colony in any meaningful way, and they participated voluntarily in all the atrocities of the British empire, for example the Jallianwala Bagh massacre which was ordered by an Irishman, Reginald Dyer.

Lots of heart shown by Robinson and Jacobs to lift NZ to a solid total of 173. NZ were in danger of tottering to a below-par score when they were 70 for 5, but they've been street smart in their partnership. Against Muthusamy, they took their time. Against the change-of-pace seamers, they were watchful. And when their eyes were set, they accelerated. A total of 63 scored off the last five overs. Also the Highest sixth-wicket stand in T20ls against SA.

South Africa's bowling was good for most of the innings but they couldn't finish the way they'd like. Time for their batters to have a crack in a few minutes.

>Durham have proposed a radical shake-up of English domestic cricket, including a rugby-style Grand Final to decide the County Championship.

>The county has addressed members, external with a change to the domestic structure and schedule in a bid to reduce player fatigue.

>The proposal, which Durham said has been developed along with other counties and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), suggests the current two-division championship should be scrapped.

>It would be replaced by two upper divisions of six teams each, and a lower division of six teams.

>The top team from each upper division would play in a five-day "Grand Final", which Durham claim would become "the first £1m domestic red-ball match".

Don't mind their idea for the T20 Blast (three regional leagues of 6)

Don't like the idea of two upper divisions of 6 for the county championship though, that feels a bit stupid - should just have one top league of the very best teams

Mixed feelings about the idea of a cup final style final at the end of it - oppose the idea on principle, but admittedly a spectacle like that could help to re-grow interest in the domestic game

I don’t know why they have to be “regional groups” with same with the current format, why don’t they just randomly selected the groups?

Either have the T20 blast as three groups of six with 10 games minimum each where most of the games are played within the hundreds spot. Or have it a a league with two divisions with promotion and relegation and play throughout the season (but they would want to keep a finals day)

Thinking about mortgages

Counties and fans will want to maintain their regional rivalries (e.g., Roses derby, Pears vs Bears), as those are the big money makers.

Think that'd be a north group (Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire), a middul/SW group (Pears, Bears, Northants, Gloucestershire, Glamorgan, Somerset), and a Southeast group (Essex, Middlesex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire, Sussex). That feels about right in terms of quality in each group, although maybe the north one is a little stronger

>>149820807
I get the regional rivalries excuse but I think one of the problems is it makes it rather boring, having the same opposition year in year out and most of these counties face each other in the championship and the one day cup anyway. I would rather the teams were drawn after being potted based on the previous seasons result, similar to how it is for football tournament draws.

Yeah I see what you mean. I guess extra arguments against your idea is that regional scheduling makes it easier for fans to attend away fixtures and reduces some of the travel burden on the players, but I do take your point that the current set-up means certain counties barely ever play each other, which is a shame

Obviously, the solution is to simply axe the H*ndred and all these issues get solved without the need to keep fucking around with the tournament structure and scheduling, but no chance of that happening any time soon, sadly

Today's mission:

You should put up Zachys rent just for the lols. Then say you need an extra £1k on top of the service charge for ‘Demagnetising the guttering throughout the demesne’. He won’t have the minerals to challenge

Reminder that The Open is on right now
Its good to support European golf because they've lost the golf culture war heavily to America

the ground rent is 150gbp a year fixed
and the billed for extra repairs stuff is a bit of a meme
there's plenty in the kitty from the basic service charge (about 1k a year which is pretty good), and the building is really young and in good nick anyways

as if generally when you move into a house you haven't got to spend thousands on work yourself anyways

this is great news for /cric/ seeing as golf is our second sport (some may even argue that it's our first sport)

yeah I'm thinking bard's restructuring of county cricket chat is slightly more relevant than spaccy's rented flat chat in terms of a cricketing general tbqgwy

cricket is just golf with extra steps

That’s why you get a good surveyor and deduct the cost of any needed repairs from the offer - late in the process of course so the seller has no choice but to accept.
When you rent they have you over a barrel

Imagine what sort of transformations we could achieve if the ECB just had the good sense to sack Rob Key and appoint me in his stead

Mad how £35k is considered a relatively good salary in the UK but way below poverty tier in the US, even though the cost of living is actually lower over there

what if someone ate rob key

Britain is a poor country with a wealthy city state attached. That’s why the Scots saw sense - without the subsidies they’d be Latvia tier.
Thoughever US is the richest country apart from meme tax havens like Luxembourg or Ireland so not the best comparison.
This is why so many people have tried to eat Rob Key: poverty and desperation. But Rob always ends up eating them first. When he has absorbed enough power, he will challenge Mike Gatting

jesus /nrl/ is a shitshow tonight

>they seethe uncontrollably
haha

Personally I believe in they should allow fire at will employment in this country. I know our Great British workforce is hungry to seek out that competitive edge to drive productivity to its limits. I for one would relish the competition, as well as the darwinian thrill of putting someone else out of the job.

>>149822126
Don't think I've ever met any civil servant (or public sector worker more generally) who would care about that at all
It's an obvious statement of fact that the jobs are taxpayer funded (although it's unlikely that your contributions amount to much, given your salary)

>>149822145
Agreed

Such employees would be preferred over the likes of /cric/ketsmen under this highly unregulated laissez-faire work paradigm.

We badly need American business practice in this country, especially hire and fire. Would solve a lot of our problems. Hiring people is such a fucking faff. And once someone’s in six months you have to keep them in perpetuity. We moan about the public sector but most private firms are just as bad when it comes to inefficiency and waste, and the lazy mindset is not restricted to civil servants.
The net result is we just get poorer and poorer

Andre Russell is retiring lads
was a ridiculously talented player, 90mph bowler who could hit it miles - shame he focused on non-cricket

who?

Andre Russell

Dre Russ

>>149822269
Still gutted I was dropped from the 1s the week my side played his when he was playing club cricket here as an 18yo

Finished with a pretty ridiculous average for both bowling and batting, unsurprisingly

At my club they still tell the story about when some racialist from another team called Dre Russ a nigger after he got hit by a short ball
Had taken 0-10 at that point but took 8-1 afterwards, or something like that anyway

If 16yo me had played him?
Dre would have learned the meaning of a forceful front foot cut, that's for sure

Wow another week gone, just like that

zachy on Thursday and Friday. he's a weekend welshie weakling and from yorkshire on the other days. supports all 3 teams in county like a complete plastic as well kek

I support Sussex only
certainly not rorkeshire

is zachy playing the tough guy again?

if you own a flat in yorkshire you'd support them but I suppose it's a bit different renting. not really 'from there' as such when you're a tenant

if he was a time-travelling surgeon who rented he'd be david tenant iykwim haha

>>149823081
when you play 85mph bowling you can barely see it but it actually hurts your hands if you manage to block it out
mad how Russell was probably jogging in at 80mph and got these numbers

bard be like "time to spend the next bank holiday weekend reading through the entirety of these T&Cs before i send for Pen #73 and sign my full name and favourite colour at the bottom of the document"

yeah, the step up from 130kmh to 140kmh is pretty significant in terms of perceived pace. once you get above 145kmh youre relying heavily on instinct built from years of batting.
I faced 160 on the bowling machine (full outside off) and you really have little hope - facing some Brett Lee chin music must be up there in terms of sports danger

>>149823395
People who faced him said he was bowling late 80mphs even at that age, but it's not like there was a speedo at the grounds so it's difficult to say if that's true

Team I'm against on Saturday has an 80mph+ bowler apparently (again, difficult to know if that's true) - only ever faced one bowler that quick before

>>149823395
>barely
doubt you're that good. you pretty much can't see 85mph if you're a standard village cricketer. the better batsmen could probably survive 80-82 I reckon but nobody really knows the speeds. doubt most people will encounter 80 often until they get to pro level (simply don't believe the above post)

>>149823333
meds then bed

>>149823477
Fastest you faced in club/grade cricket?

>>149823548
I survived three balls against the guy who bowled 80-85mph (two runs off the edge, two play and miss) before getting out to the 60mph shitter at the other end
Does that make me one of the better batsmen?

few bowlers who were consistently above and around 135 like lachie ferguson and ed nuttall (Canterbury bowler)
bit hard to say really because its all anecdotal and hard to compare with a bowling machine (because it always feels quicker in the nets)

>140-142kmh

>>149823709

Fancy a game for our 2s on thweekend?

Never had proper speed guns at the levels I’ve played. But when you know, you know. The difference between a fun challenge and not seeing it and realising that you inadvertently backed off to square leg without even realising you were doing it. Brain just nopes on out of there.
Good bit in Trescothick’s biog about teaching him to play faster bowling. Because his hand eye coordination was absolute god tier he’d never had to think about it, could hit anything - until he got to the higher levels and the pace found him out.

>>149823991
ffs

>>149823982
I'd be curious to face faster bowling more often desu, because you're right that a lot of it comes down to instincts and hand-eye coordination
Best shot I ever played was a cover drive for 4 against an Aussie overseas, but I didn't really have to think about it
Put me up against some 55mph shitter bowling straight and a good length and I have no idea what to do with it

>>149823982
I think you just have to accept your fate, like really come to peace with the idea you could and likely will get hurt
theres really not much you can do if youre out of your depth though, can be quite an embarrassing experience

>not much you can do if youre out of your depth though

You can tell anybody who will listen that the pitch is complete shit and kept stupidly low / reared up off a length (delete as appropriate depending on nature of dismissal)

Always worked for me

Never wore a thigh pad when batting
Just feels too restrictive
Wonder if I should give it another try

>>149824282
I left one that hit middle and off halfway up, pretty much a perfect half volley because I just didnt pick it up properly lol

>>149824297
gotta use this style if you can, those big slab of wood single thighpads are shit

>>149824309
You've not quite got the hang of this la
I think you'll find that you got bowled by a rank half tracker that basically rolled after pitching and Steve Waugh himself wouldn't have been able to play it

>>149824327
Yeah I think you're right desu, the shit I've tried reduces my mobility too much, but ones like that seem a lot better

if you were getting real serious youd buy one of those really small arm guards from that company mark chapman started
fucking all the pros have them but I don't think theyre even for sale in stores

It must be similar with boxers. They must sometimes discover in the first seconds of round one that the other guy is too good.
But cricket is unique that it puts up shitters against the elite. The boxing equivalent of Chris Martin didn’t have to fight Mike Tyson

Interesting that Hick's son never expressed any interest in the game whatsoever

the shivnarine scranderpaul

I’ve been giving this some thought for the last few weeks, and tonight in particular it felt properly appropriate, because that anon is right. I can, and have (to the best of my knowledge), been making positive changes in my life to shake off the depression that has been coming and going for the last two years, but how could I ever have made a full positive change if I hadn’t made the most fucking obvious one - stopping coming here.

I am resigning from posting on /cric/. And 4chan, completely. For those who say it’s impossible to leave, ask the people from /mu/ that I left abruptly one day when I had had enough. It’s been nearly two years since I first came to this part of 4chan, during Brendon McCullum’s 302 against India, and almost one year to the day that the infamous Autistic Memespouter first noted my presence here. It’s been a ridiculous year, since that day, starting with people not having a clue who I was and shaping me up to be the next goose, before the dox, and everything shifting towards my personal life. It’s weird, up until the dox, most of my friends, including Ivana and Hugh, knew about it, because it was totally hilarious, but as soon as it became about them I stopped telling them. Still surprised no one ever found out. Maybe in a few years I’ll pull this back out and laugh.

In a way this place has helped me a lot, because in times of serious darkness I could still find companionship and happiness here, but in many others it is toxic. I’ve almost completely become desensitised to personal attacks. There have been some (You)s that I have received that could honestly drive a man to suicide. Really horrific, personal, disgusting attacks from disgusting, bitter people that somehow I just shrugged off as “banter”. A softer man would have killed himself, and I am not exaggerating. The fact that I can honestly read some of these posts about me and my life without feeling anything is incredibly dangerous.

The “no friends” thing that I’ve been talking about has always been a bit of an exaggeration - there are four friends I’ve had for this whole duration, none of which you have found out about, but at many points they grew distant due to disconnection. At times I didn’t feel comfortable talking to them about my feelings, and with the exception of one who is in my band, I would frequently go months without talking to them. They all had their own girlfriends and own lives and didn’t have time for my shit, so I had no one to vent to. I guess that’s why 4chan is so great, because I could vent to you guys. I will say this right now that some of you know more about my personal life and thoughts than any of those friends, just because I had no fear in telling you guys. When you tell someone who you have a positive relationship with that you’re struggling with depression, they immediately see you totally differently, and the positive relationship could disappear.

I did eventually, in mid-December, tell one of these friends about my depression, a guy who coincidentally is studying mental health as a degree. That was coincidentally the week where everything looked up a bit. You guys may mock me for cheating my way into this job, and you’d be fucking right, but sometimes it’s just what you need. A shitty, undeserved chance to get better. That same day was the one when I asked not one but two girls out, something I had never properly done in my life. Call it cliche but that was just a small gift of the universe to pull me out, and I’m going to try and use it to get out for good. I didn’t deserve that job, but I’m not going to waste it.

I do honestly believe I’m going up in life, to the point in which you guys telling me I’m still depressed has motivated me to make this move, because you’re wrong. Yeah, it’s a cunt move to be ignoring Ivana like this but what I’m hoping is that by the time I get back to uni I’ll be fully better, and I’ll be able to form a less toxic relationship with her. So I need to properly make changes to my life. I’m quitting my shitty music blog and joining a real website. I’m working two jobs, my band is playing shows. I’m going to make more friends and stop being a judgemental cunt. And finally, I’m leaving this place. I love it, and I hate it. But as everyone who comes here knows, it is not a place that a mentally sound person resides. It’s why everyone knows that Reality Christ isn’t real, because if he was actually that great, he wouldn’t be here. Anyone who pretends they are okay whilst posting on 4chan is kidding themselves. And so to be truly okay, I have to let go of this place. It saddens me, because I do enjoy talking about cricket here, but my plan is to get some real friends to talk about cricket with.

I’ve had some great times here, of course, although “great times on 4chan” sounds a bit depressing. I honestly don’t think I’ve had to contain laughter as much as that time we raided /mu/ at 2am, and other classic moments like the reveal that NotGoose was a redditor and 60 all out were classic.

Statsautist, I know some of the things you’ve said about me. I know that you are afraid of ever meeting me because I will be able to use those things against you. I won’t. You are evidently just as troubled as me, and if you’ve convinced yourself that you aren’t then I really feel bad for you. Same goes for Krazykrezja. You occasionally seem like a cool guy but then I remember that you’re like 27 and on 4chan. Autistic Memespouter, I don’t know who you are. There was a point in which I tried really hard to find out but I’ve stopped caring. I hope you do something worthwhile. Reality Christ, stay based. We all know you’re bullshitting but I seriously admire the effort behind your art, and what fine art it is.

To anyone else from here who wants to keep in contact, you know how to reach me. I will not dox you, no matter who you are. I have the identities of four /cric/ posters who have not been doxxed and they have been completely safe, because I’m not a cunt. Even statscunt and krazykrezja, as much as their revealing would be glorious. I’ll be at most of the Auckland games this year, and am always keen for a pint down at /The Fox/ and a bit of banter. Trinibro and Pak weeb and the britbong posters, you guys are all cool, sorry if us southerners shat everywhere. I hope you guys don’t hate me, but you probably do.

>>149823477
>youre relying heavily on instinct built from years of batting
this is correct. I've read the pros have an idea of the length before the bowler releases and decide their shot during the first 3m of the ball's flight. It's then on autopilot or with a late adjustment like opening the face for the really good ones (international level players).

>>149823583
>the guy who bowled 80-85mph
proofs?
also 'front foot cuts' aren't in the manual because you can't really play them to bowling of this pace, unless it's a fluke edge or whatever

>it was much too quick for me so must have been 80mph
narcissistic neek at it again

And lastly, I’d like to make a confession, which a couple of people have worked out. I know absolutely nothing about cricket. I loved it when I was a kid, to near autistic levels, but from the years of 2006 through to 2014 I did not watch a single game. I decided last year that I should start watching cricket again because my life had become too music-centric, in that everything about my personality had something to do with music. It was originally supposed to be just a side thing, that I just started following it again like normies do with most sports, but after the doxxing I got sucked in. My entire life became cricket because I was lonely and needed conversation and that was all I could get. The Durham meme? The “Daniel knows everything about cricket” shit? Absolute tosh. Even in my exile from the game, I played Cricket Captain for a bit, and Durham was my team, but nothing more than that. I am a true filthy fucking casual, and that’s totally okay. Because having more cricket knowledge is not something you should be proud of. I’m not really proud of the mass of knowledge I’ve gained this year whilst pretending to not be a casual.

Good night.

lmao shameless bard trying to claim mercenaries. beggars can't be choosers I suppose but this just means Worcs has been even worse than I thought

late to some of the earlier discussion but about the body protection stuff, I always hated wearing anything other than the bare minimum pads, gloves, box and helmet, would not be able to bear anything else. If your getting hit in the thigh or body a lot then it’s a skill issue.

>the pros have an idea of the length before the bowler releases
yeah you can pick up the length before the balls released by watching the release. its minor differences, but shorter balls are released later and it gives you an extra few ms to decide a course of action
I think this is why bumrash is so deadly, the different release point is so alien (malinga would've been even worse to face)

get in

there’s t20 cricket on tonight

Think Bard might be a manlet as he keeps going on about his favourite shot as the “front foot cut” but surely a cut shot is for wide short pitch deliveries. all the talk of it implies he’s facing a lot of short bowling, maybe the bowlers aren’t adjusting their pitch to his height.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's unironically 5' 9'' but has found a way to delude himself into think he is 4 inches or so taller

perceived height is incredibly inflated
people think im 5'11 but im 5'8 (and a half)

I'm bang on 5 11 (measured at last work medical)

brothers put an offer in on a based leasehold flat as well

Buttler is 34, which is within peak years for a batmsan
Old manderson is admittedly almost 43 but he's a freak who was still returning elite Test figures right up until his forced retirement last year, so obviously he'll still be good at county level

mummy bowen very generous these days
ask her if I can borrow a tenner mate

hungry lads

Bard has long levers

This actual has been said about me a few times this season, but usually in relation to my fielding
Limbs stretching out in all directions to prevent the ball from making it past short cover

>6" 1'
Actually after I posted that I remembered the south america photos where you didn't look that short.
>Dolly didn't have any domestic team before Worcs, we made him into the player he was
Sorry but this isn't the case, he was already known as a very good cricketer in the Cape Coloured leagues, had captained the non-white SA national side and it was a concerted effort on a group lead by John Arlott, the old TMS commentator, to get him to England and he had already played as a pro in the Lancashire League for several seasons before playing for Worcester by which point he was already in his mid-30s.

good for bouldering that

>photos
bard only posted on photo where he was crouched down and just happened to '''''find''''' a Worcs flag up a mountain in Chile and certainly didn't place it there himself

I genuinely am 6"1, and that's a real measurement instead of a "inflate it by a couple of inches to impress women" measurement (very common among blokes)

I will contend the point on Dolly and admit I don't know a massive amount of Pears' history prior to when I first started attending in around 1996 as a 4 year old

We've always been a comfy small county with few international players and that's ok, it makes it all the more meaningful when we do actually produce an international talent (although the only one of those I can think of who's actually from Worcestershire itself is Josh Tongue, nobody else local has made it to England for decades, as far as I know)

In a salt flat in Bolivia rather than a mountain in Chile desu
And I didn't bring it with me, I was just as surprised as you to find it there
Would like to do a trip to Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia at some point because I hear it's stunning, but it's also quite expensive apparently

technically I have a garden in the communal area outside
a smallish patch of grass
I could in theory get a deck chair out and start sucking a designer cider but not sure how well that would go down

Any cricket on?

>>149835776
Yeah there's an intriguing round of T20 fixtures tonight
Need unlikely wins for Derbyshire and Yorkshire so that the Pearsmen can sneak through

kek everytime someone mentions that photo I remember that Aus anon who came up with a theory that bard never really went to South America. was a weird gimmick that one

>>149835785
unfortunately T20 is only a step above T10 (which is a step above The Hundred) on the cricketing ladder
shan't

You might want to check your lease. Some landlords don’t allow the consumption of alcohol on the premises
