wonder when they will at least trim down the length of the working day a bit, to at least make it slightly humane.

fucking hate golf lads

golf isn't a sport and neither is f1, snooker, darts etc
but all of those are closer to sport than t20 '''''''''''''cricket'''''''''''''

PVO champ

Last thread was just one retard going on about his flat, then getting baited, tax pension and salary discussion from the blog brothers and so officecunt in Aus and then the usual sebbo the spambot shit. All that must have accounted for about 2/3rds at least.

please let this place die.

snooker is a sport

>he’s back to one of the same several topics he always drones on about
I actually agree that it isn’t a sport but I also don’t fucking care. Go blog somewhere else.

Hate office mongs who demand a 4-day working week and then pretend that their productivity would somehow not change at all despite working less because "muh scientific studies!!!!"

Was listening to that on TMS. Remember the commentator, might have been Agnew or Blowers, shouting

And for a moment was feeling pretty good that >we’d got Langer first ball

Never got his average below 30 again. He’d always been a bit hot and cold, especially away.

Bankbergstein couldn't BELIEVE it when I refused to get either a credit card or an overdraft on the basis that I only want to spend money that I actually have

"B-b-but the overdraft is basically free money?!" he spluttered connivingly

>>149838199
cashback (assuming you didn't mindlessly just go with your bank) and extra protections when making purchases

>>149838326
I mean there's no reason not to get an arranged overdraft.

If you overspend they'll overdraft you anyway, except charge way more interest if it's unarranged. Usually banks tried to dissuade me from having an arranged overdraft if anything.

how can zachy be a diehard fan of Rwanda, Namibia, Uganda etc when they only play t20 and t20 apparently isn't cricket?

>>149837310

online gambling?

>>149838452
It's a psychological trick designed to get you used to spending beyond your means and paying it back (((at interest))) later
I will not fall for it

>>149836266
It’s alright. We Can be Heroes/Angry Boys is much better

>>149838524
guess if you that personality type you should avoid them

for normal people they offer some advantages

told a millennial to use his brain today lads, at cricket.
His problem is he doesn’t think ahead in abstracts, lazy. If you play this shot now the other captain will potentially change the field this way and if you play that shot again you’ll get caught. He did it anyway but was dropped, so I was just telling him don’t do it again because you’ll only get dropped so many chances

Amex is worth it if you fly a lot. Most of my flights to Calcutta to see the wife’s family are discounted with my points.
But it’s also assuring to know you have instant access to £10k whenever you want it. Lots of little worries go away when you know you are always good to pay.

No thanks. I'd rather remain financially sensible so that I don't put myself in that position to begin with, avoiding any sort of complacency or temptation to use money which I haven't actually got.

If you REALLY think about it, cricket is much closer to golf than it is to any other sport.

yes, it's blokes stroking off. give it a rest you massive homo

won't be ditching my mum to go redditering today

>>149838832
better way of having 10k available is having savings

Imagine how many serviceable middle order* batspeople we've lost to golf.
*mid order because obviously golfsmen are the self-seeking type.

Golf has almost nothing to do with cricket

>le credit is le bad
Classic poor man logic. About the level of financial literacy I’d expect from someone who got his mum to buy him a leasehold flat. If you don’t use credit, you are almost certainly paying over the odds in other areas

Bit of a shit performance from my beloved Falcons thus far
Hope my beloved Vikings fare a bit better

I like how you're using 'my' the same way some people use it about a flat they don't own

But enough about zachys proto gfs arse and chest

ffs two wickets lost in that over, I know it’s only two overs after this but they are under 150.

Think Essex might have lost this

>>149842270
isn't that what they're planning to do at the oval? to replace that big gas container structure or whatever it is

>proto gf
Is this a 4chin term for “girl who is not my gf and who I don’t have the bollocks to ask out and just pathetically simp and daydream about”

>>149842320
In fairness it’s not Slurry doing that it’s just their ground is in inner London, plus they have flats around it already.

going to be too hot to travel to an office soon
what happens in places like Australia in the summer? they just go 100% remote?

they are meant to close worksites if it goes above 35 degrees but I don't think I've ever seen that happen. office "workers" usually have aircon so not sure how how it being warm would stop you from "working".

is redditering related to bumdering?

might stick creatine in my tea
probably won't

Well they definitely won’t be playing any cricket round here today. even though it’s now just stopped, it’s supposed to start back up, it’s absolutely chucked it down here.

wouldn't if you cared about your kidneys

hopefully not raining in bard's neck of the woods
he has a game today

There's a bit of drizzle but doesn't look like it'll be enough to get the match called off unfortunately

But I want the tea

golfs on

>Met Office warns of danger to life from thunderstorms and floods
>Pathetic drizzle in the West Mids, not enough to even get a game of cricket called off

It's just not fair

Yes, yes, so maybe I have been whinging all season about not having had a shot in the 2s
But I just didn't want my shot to come against the league leaders who by all accounts are playing 5 divisions too low and have a better bowling attack than anybody in our 1's league

>>149845257
Everyone has portable ACs

Yes, yes, so maybe I have been whinging all season about facing line and length 50mph dibbly dobblers and not knowing what to do with them and saying that I actually prefer a bit of pace on the ball so it goes off to the boundary quicker
But I didn't want that pace to be someone who is widely rumoured to be 80mph+ ffs

Faith in forceful front-foot cut? Faltering

Alright

Never played in my life (went to a school that only did football and basketball for PE (povvo)) and only got into cricket a couple of years back. Would any team take on someone with a total lack of experience?

time for 8 beers

>>149855455
you could probably sub in for bard tbg (just got out for 2 in his village game)

>>149855455
Yh, just go to a small local club. Might only have a couple of nets but would easily get to understand and play. Only issue with starting out it buying gear as it ain’t cheap.

gonna have to get a crown done at the dentists, my off myself instead desu

did anyone ever figure out why he was walking towards the camera

>basketball
was it a very "urban" school?

not him and went to a completely white school where basketball was popular

>>149856554
West Sussex, had as I recall, 3 black kids in our year group of 300. I think they just saw it as a sport that didn't need much equipment so was cheap to have us play

leasehold flats are bit like cricketers
there are good ones and shit ones

I too am from West Sussex

at zachy's flat (just broke in)

There is no West and East Sussex, only Sussex. Independence now.

simply not true

going to my uncles funeral monday lads
found out the mad bastard put a few grand behind the local pub in the lead up to his passing so we get one last piss up on him
nice one

80mph was just as fiendishly difficult to face as I expected, think I played and missed against him about 10 times before he trapped me LBW (by all accounts a dodgy decision)

Had a 75mph from the other end who I also didn't really get anywhere near, but I did manage to slog sweep him off middle for a big six en route to my 7

Asked a few lads in the know what sort of level those guys should have been playing at and the consensus was Div 1 or Div 2 (a long way above the league our 2s actually play in)

Quotes from their players to me as we shook hands after the expected heavy loss?
"Mate, absolutely gun fielding, fair play"
"Well fielded shagger"

(Did drop a catch thoughever - a difficult one, but I think I should have had it)

that's all very good, but everybody just wants to what you got for tea fella...no offence x

You may choose not to believe it, but it happened
I was fielding at short cover and made several good diving one-handed stops, which the spectators were clearly appreciative of
If only the one-handed catch had stuck - managed to parry it up in the air and should have caught the rebound, but my foot slipped at the vital moment (might need to buy some spikes)

>>149863914
>nawljns
applied for rice and beans yet mate

Did take another catch, but it was an easy one and not much satisfaction could be had from it

why would someone call a volcel a shagger

I'm such a good fielder I don't even have to be on the pitch to get compliments, I'll just be walking down the street and passerby's will yell out "nice fielding shagger!"

>>149864231
soime soime...but along the lines of "nice haul shagger, u eetin good tonite huh shagger u"
>>149864140
jambalaya innit queem QUEEM

making 7 and dropping a catch isn't blogworthy and just exposes you as shit at cricket
also you don't know it was 80mph or 75mph so stop adding your own fabricated speeds

>>149855455
>>149856991
Lots of teams struggle for regular players for their secondary sides, and would be happy for the extra player even if it's just making up the numbers in the field to start off with. Sunday XI sides and pub sides could also be an option, if you want an even friendlier and less competitive sort of environment

>>149856138

>>149864554
Got hit with a brutal "Chuck him a piano mate, let's see if he's any better at playing that" today after not getting anywhere near the 80mph* for about 5 balls in a row

Thought about replying with a jovial self-deprecating "Can actually play a piano fairly well, it's just cricket I'm shit at", but worried that might just sound a little sad and so ultimately decided against it and retaliated by playing and missing the next ball too

seriously doubt there's many 80mph bowlers running in in village cricket. probably never even been measured but amateur players do love hyping anyone who's slightly quicker than normal. 70mph maybe, won't start seeing much more until county 2nd teams I reckon

here's a useful demo from Bumrah of what speeds actually feel like and 80 is way quicker than you think - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq_kKZIYAe0

>>149864990
Don't really think the "village cricket" moniker means much desu, because there's plenty of villages around the country who have 1st XI sides who play in an ECB Premier League alongside current pros, former pros, and good overseas players

My league covers two full counties and extends into three others, so the higher divisions (which some of these boys should have been playing in) are a pretty decent standard

Don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that Div 1 / Div 2 standard players could be bowling 80mph

>>149860034

Unfortunately made in the Devonian way rather than the superior Cornish way

>>149865963
I was imagining blackberry or raspberry but strawberry is a fine jam

The very word Devonian sounds weird, some kind of strange ancestrals of the morlockesque types. Unfathomable what generation after generation for millennia after millennia of putting the jam and cream on arseways will produce, some kind of human no doubt

maybe bard should pick up baseball

Honestly not sure if I would even recognise Crawley if I walked past him on the road. He just has a very forgettable aura.

Walkabout

Coming to realise that I'd be so much better at cricket if I were privately educated
At my club I never really received coaching after the age of 12, you just sort of figured it out for yourself as you netted and played matches
Meanwhile these tarqs are getting expert coaching on all the things which I'd never really considered properly up until this season (e.g., guard, backlift, trigger movement, low-risk scoring shots)

>>149876302
The Borrowers (1997)

>>149877112
Yes but those coaches also bummed those tarqs

>>149877166
A small price to pay for proper cricketing technique

>I'm shit at cricket because nobody ever taught me how to make the scratchy line in front of middle stump

>>149877171
I do make the scratchy line in front of middle stump
But is middle the right guard for me, given my strengths and weaknesses?
Maybe I should take leg instead, maximising the number of balls I can play a forceful front-foot cut to?
Maybe I should start outside leg and then have a trigger movement to middle?
The pros and cons of different guards have simply never been taught to me desu, and so I remain clueless

>>149877183
Not really much to teach mate, just sounds like you're not reflecting on your game enough

>>149877221
That's why I blogpost incessantly on /cric/, so that I can engage in co-reflection with the brains trust here

also because you're a boring fucking loser with no friends or future

Hey, I have a future

https://youtu.be/XGgIWp1FN-U?si=h9MP2fwsrP18xhSe
front foot cut doubters please watch
idiots who think the pull and hook are the same please also watch

I was looking for something else he explained about where to take the stance couldn’t find it yet, but I’d suggest you try in the nets (if you can) take up between middle and leg and slide your back foot to leg as the delivery is coming. This will shift your weight to the front and then to the back so you will be able to get forward easier. I’ll have another look see if I can’t find it but anyway I think that will help

Whatever you do you need to practice it so you’re not thinking about it when you do it, you get to where you just keep watching the ball and you move to or away from it and the shot selection should always be the least risky depending on line and length and your own strengths with regards to technique (technique is what some people call muscle memory)

direish lad needs to stop brownnosing both zachy and bard (we pick one team here)
also shant watch and the front-foot cut is a shot but it's a shot for tailenders

>>149877510
VERY good video, Sir Don exposing the forceful front-foot cut doubters as the morons that they are

>>149877510
>>149877530
Annoyingly, barely any of the 1s and 2s bowlers (none of whom are as good as the bowlers I faced yesterday) actually turn up to the nets
80-90% of the balls I've faced at nets have been from juniors, old men, and batsmen who are patiently waiting their turn
Makes it very difficult to work on anything technique wise

one of these days zimbabwe will win a game

If I bowled at you in the nets you’d get cut in half lol. Fucking take up chess or some shit. You’d be done as a batsman, mentally shot. For permanently. I’m laughing right here just thinking about it

I'm a medium pacer but would simply switch to bowling spin and get bard out within 2-3 balls (I never bowl spin). he'd have no clue lol

>>149877875
You one of these lads who bowls 80mph+?
Do tend to struggle against those, admittedly

>>149877887
I would probably be able to detect the change from medium pace to off spin through the difference in your action desu

love my flat

based zachy's mum

Its doesn't really repudiate what I said here >>149834849 about the front-foot cut being for short and wide deliveries (as the ball was short and wide) only though, it just seems an odd choice to make one of "your shots" especially if your not a "batsmen". I guess my inclination if I was playing a cut would be off the back foot.

>>149877887
Pretty sure you'd be 'no-balled' if you did it without informing the umpire, which would pretty much negate any benefit of it.

>every single post itt

>>149878072
we're all in /afl/

>>149877973
Probably wasn't aimed at you
There are people among us in /cric/ who deny the existence of the forceful front-foot cut entirely

>>149877999
You don't have to inform the umpire about a change of bowling per se, only if you're going to switch which arm you bowl with or which side of the wicket you're bowling from (and the latter is pretty difficult to do without informing anybody as the batsman would be in the way)

>>149878077

Really strong smell of poo here.

Here you can see how he moves the backfoot out and behind when facing pace and he sort of rocks back and forth shifting his weight there’s a rhythm to it

Never really got to post my thoughts about the supposed 80mph bowler Bard was to and did face (and then got out to), threads at an end so shan't bother now other than to ask: Did this guy swing it at all or get any seaming off it, or was he just pace?

obviously wasn't 80mph
another one of his fibs (he has many)

one of the most notable being he is 6' 1'' and not in fact 5' 8''

>>149880227
Yeah he was swinging it away too - not massively, but enough to cause problems

Think I faced 9 balls from him - got the bat on it once (blocked the full and straight one), played and missed a block about 5 times (was slightly back of a length and reared up over the bat each time), played and missed a forceful front-foot cut twice (big swing no ding), and then finally got put out of my misery by being trapped LBW going for a sweep (all onlookers said it was a dodgy call)

Was a nice challenge trying to face him but realistically both him and the other opener should be playing 5-6 divisions than the one we're in (they were merged into the league after consistently winning Div 1 in one of the smaller neighbouring league structures, but couldn't jump straight to the higher divisions of ours because that'd be unfair apparently)

Hit the other slightly slower opener for 6 with a muscular slog sweep off middle and so walked away not completely dissatisfied with my performance
Could easily have been a duck though

marks ps5 days are OVER it might be for you but it's not for him and that's ok

>>149881486
Now when you do buy a house (pretty much a necessity once you meet the future Mrs Bowen) you're going to have to pay thousands in stamp duty

Rookie error

How is stamp duty unique to leasehold flats you fucking neek

>>149881732

>>149881685
Because if you bought a house already (and took advantage of no stamp duty for first time buyers) then there'd be no need to upgrade once you meet the future Mrs Bowen, dummy

But I suppose my wages have to be funded somehow, so if you insist on paying more tax than you need to, then so be it

we're taking this one to 1k boys

>>149881774
this is implying some three bed in acomb would be the forever home
