>>149916400
yh, get me a few bottles m8

We’re on top of the ladder!

Its been an interesting series. Feels like you can never tell whos winning until late in each game.

Nice shot by Pepper there, a cover drive for 4.

didn't New zealand and south Africa used to be good

Black and white is more like 60 years ago you retard

>i thinks i can be der in bout 45 mmmmm 25 minu...hours i thinks definitely 35 seconds.

>>149916486
>did you hear about the Chinese godfather? he made them an offer they couldn't understand

>100 up for India
Is this, dare I say it, the crucial psychological blow that finally puts the dreaded ‘Bazball’ in the coffin (and I’m not talking about the long rectangular bag in which you transport your cricket equipment)

>>149916507
kek

Hank the angry dwarf was the best whack pack member.

>>149916519
It could be a road. I think if you want to have a bowl you should have at least 4-100, if your best bowlsmen aren't avg sub 20 you made the wrong choice

Why were they keeping this lad out?

Dawson a bit tubby isn't he?

remember Matt Parkinson? he was supposed to be England's next spin god

need to go after him
lets see a wicket dawson lad

Clearly Irish genetics

remember Tom Hartley? Took 22 wickets in India in a series and then completely forgotten.

>ride the train and granny will tell you how much of a slut she really is

For me, it’s Scott Borthwick. But I could just as easily go for Ian Salisbury, Ian Blackwell, Jamie Dalrymple, Simon Kerrigan, Samit Patel, Peter Such.

>>149916629
Matt Coonman and Todd Murphy also took bags in India.

>todd murphy
yer a wizard arry

>>149916629
Tom Hartley currently has 101 not out against Gloucestershire.
Green is now out and that retard Jimmy has sent himself in rather than declaring.

Imagine if Nick Daicos played cricket

HES SOOO BACK BABY

Don’t think Bashir would have done that.

GONE GOTTEM DAWSON

DAWSON HATERS ABSOLUTELY BTFO

Jamie Dalrymple married into the Sackler family, described as the most evil family America, and considered the main perpetrators of the opioid crisis in the flyover states.

LIKE HE NEVER LEFT

kek gill is coming out

booo booo subhuman boooooooo

AHHHHH HAAAAA

Hi there, Mr Gill in?

Hartley now out for 130, Lancs finish on 557

400 up for Essex

what was his problem

just checkin' in fellas x

To be fair, Pingu could be a little shit. There’s an episode where he deliberately pisses all over the bathroom walls

really strong smell of poo in here all of a sudden

>>149916826

WHO SHARTED ITT AND DIDNT FLUSH!?!?

why don't indian players look comfortable against spin
doesn't there game involve a lot more and less seamers

DROPPED
get him out of the side immediately, can't be doing that

dropped the pant-carse trophy

why's Bairstow back in the side?

foakes would have taken that in his sleep

Anderson has removed Cameron Bancroft

oh my fuck
how he drop that

beadyla¿ u in moite¿?? need a SMA weld, total 7 (seven) pieces, fella, tabla x

>>149917013
not sure you will get even bounce of that surface

>>149916991
Quality of English spinners tends to be quite a bit higher than what you might find in the subcontinent

>>149916957
Well, we will have to wait and see.

chuckled heartily at a recent post fellas ngl

umpires call?

booo boo subhuman booooo

USE YOUR BAT SON
>>149917062
back in my day that was plumb fuck off son use your bat

Stokes is unironically England’s best bowlsman.

stupid gill

Huge wicket, what a bad leave

gillty of not playing a shot there

Why didn't he simply hit the ball?

umpire was waiting for Gill to walk
lmoa
twas that obvious

>>149917107

Went for a poo and missed the wicket.

and Essex lost two.

>>149917107
bit of a pants wicket

The /cric/ lads were all chatting shit at Stokes earlier about his decision to bowl but I notice everyone's gone quiet about it now

>we'll have a bowl m8

>took 3 wickets in two sessions
yh really great decision there

the decision to bowl is clearly strategic
Its Old Traford, rain will effect play
playing for a draw with the chance of a win using a quickly degrading wicket in day 4/5

Just got in from work, how's it going lads?
I take it we lost the toss if we're bowling yeah?

hi bmac, focus on the game pal

Muk spelled backwards is…

>>149917401
I am even more north and west than Manchester and it is still really bright here
Manchester is just a grim grim place

>>149917439
Its because of the Pennines, all weather blown from the Atlantic hits them and it rains on Manchester, not a massive amount but consistently, leading to its reputation

how did your internet usernames develop?
>combination of real name, nickname and numbers
>first attempt at unique username (cringe)
>second attempt at unique username. still use that plus a couple of alternatives
this is going back to 2003.

Rain shadow of the Pennines innit.
That and the grim malaise of the populace bringing bad juju to the very skies

>>149917482
my first email address (which is still active) was very cringe, my steam account is still named after the first barbarian I made in Diablo2 and has pretty cringe name
most of my other accounts are named after my priest in World of Warcraft despite me not having played in years.

>>149917482
An original book title that I have genuinely been offered money for (my steam account name lol)

the rest is either my real work email or burners

"whats pants doing, has he gone mad"
immediately think of the blackadder sketch

>Pants

Bit of listeria outbreak over here https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0723/1524968-ready-meals-recall/

Is jaffa an Australian term?

>>149917774
yup
means shooting blanks, as in sperm

>>149917780
Nas said it don't think he meant it like that though

>>149917774
It comes from Jaffa oranges which is where >>149917780 comes from (as they are seedless)

>>149917818
lol, it means a good ball, unplayable
the other meaning comes from a particularly nice seedless orange grown in Australia, hence, no seed

i finally figured out cricket

throw the ball at the stumps innit

Jaffa is is Palastine btw, part of modern Tel Aviv in Israel. They come from there, they were very highly prized as they had tough skins but were easy eating, not too bitter and are sweet.

Its not an exclusively australian term it just means as the other anon said, an exceptionally good ball.

TMS earrape

yeah something clearly not right

>just gonna reverse sweep a fast bowler in a test match

we'll have a pooview thanks

having a hobble now that england will no doubt be penalised for

Drag that bloated corpse off the pitch please

whats going on?

>Injuring yourself trying to reverse a pace bowler
KWABOTY AY

rightly so >>149918077
you don't just go around hurting players without consequences, moite

>>149918114
Pant batted the ball into his own foot and has retired hurt.

Absolute state of old trafford medical services

>needing a fucking cart
weak as piss

>>149918124
how does that work then, does he get to come back in

>>149918125
ikr keKkkkk
paki tier...oh wait...haha..carry on

>>149918131
He's never gonna dance again

pants on head retarded

Jsut got back. What happened? Pant hurt his foot?

>>149918131
no but steven ejaculate iykwim haha

>>149918142
pic related... straight up hurting players this time

>>149918131
If he recovers before the end of the innings yes, but if he's in that much pain maybe he broke his metatarsal.

>>149918125
NHS too busy with 55 year old rapist refugees
>>149918131
It's "retired hurt". If he goes and gets scanned or whatever and it's not broken and he can bat again, he is allowed to come in whenever a wicket falls. But because it's not a concussion, he doesn't get a full substitute, just a sub fielder. So if it was say, India needs a handful of runs to win the game in the second innings he might hobble out. But if they're down by 400 he probably won't.

Is tyrell's the chip company?

unc with his rulebook lmao

why do pakis have such weak bones

>English hopes are surely dead
>The fools painted Old Trafford red!

haven't played Banjo-Kazooie in ages. might have to load it up at some point

going to want 7 more wickets before close

Stokes looks like pee pee poo poo

ooof

lol, wicky goes for hands, captain brushes hands, doesn't look at Smith

>>149917832
>>149917840
It's an Australian secret. I was just wondering if you had them over there and you don't. Yes it means a good ball

>night watchman sent out
On the ROPES

No I will not elaborate further

Why don't they use lasers in the stumps so the batsmen don't have to take guard?

The most interesting things today were the trumpet and the new old spinner

My favourite Australian colloquialism has to be "tripper" as in "absolute tripper that was".

>>149918379
all being planned fella x
AI will replace umpires soon

doing some really terrible farts this afternoon lads, have had to open a couple of windows and get the febreeze out

The lasers will burn the balls though

ah yes more time wasting

10 point deduction to England for this sickeningly low over rate I say

>>149917832
which is ironic because "seed" is also a descriptor for a good delivery.
jaffa, which is seedless, is a good delivery
seed, which is a seed, is also a good delivery

>>149918386
ripper.

England should win an award for creating sports that they constantly get bested at

>>149918587
We have won a world cup in all the sports we invented.

>WTC
>ODI***
>T-20**

>>149918656
Yes we've won the cricket world cup, the rugby world cup, and the football world cup.
No other country can say this.

>*********

>>149918636
Name one sport in which England are traditionally the best in.

>>149918680
>Cricket
Australians dominate, England has same number of world cups as Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
>Rugby
South Africans, Aussies, Kiwis dominate.
>Football
Germans, Argies, Brazilians, Italian, Spanish better.

I mean the rest of the world will continue to entertain your delusions because it's funny to watch you guys meltdown.

>I know bowlspwrson.will.try to get me.out with a short ball with this field placement
>Hah, I will show the bowelsperson who's boss
>Gets out playing a hook or pull
why are batspersonmans liek.dis.fellas??

>>149918780
So what? We have won the world cup in all the sports we've invented and no other country can claim to have won world cups in all three of cricket, rugby and football. We have reached the pinnacle in all of them. You are moaning that our sports are popular around the world and therefore the competition is greater.
The fact that our sports are globally popular and yours aren't is a "you" problem.

England has never won the rugby world cup (league). Australia will probably win the soccer world cup before England wins the rugby world cup (league)

the english are good at eating chips with curry sauce I don't think that's a sport though

The cricket general /cric/?

More like the stinkiest fucking shit!

LMAO

Sometimes if I've not really been checking in on how the cricket is going I like to come to these match threads first to see if I can figure it out. Most of the time it's virtually impossible. Even trying to guess by GOTTEMS is misleading as many are bogus.

>>149920544
All you needed to do was ask.

>we'll have a bowl thanks

GOTTEM

Experimented with a higher backlift at nets tonight after noticing I barely have one at all
Think it really helped me to generate more power and get over my drives much better
But also not sure if I have the balls to try it on Saturday as it leaves me feeling a bit more exposed

just do it
you're a specialist fielder first

yeah go for it better to die on your feet or whatever

sinking a ghost ship on my way to bouldering

>>149917948

>>149921882
>>149921951
Ok, I'll give it a try

Rehan Ahmed has a batting average of 47.3 and bowling average of 16.07 in the county champs this year (thoughbeit in Div 2)

Wonder if he is actually secretly elite

Most sensible plan for the England side in the next few years is to use him and Dawson, gradually phasing out Daws and bringing in Ahmed, while keeping Bashir as far away from the side as possible

FUCKING BASED

>An inquest into the tragic death of Graham Thorpe has heard how a leaked drinking video from the 2021-22 Ashes series caused “catastrophic damage” to the England cricket legend’s mental health.
>Thorpe was found dead last August, two-and-a-half years on from a 4-0 series defeat in Australia, the fallout from which saw him lose his job as England assistant.
>One of the series’ biggest storylines came off the field after police at 6am broke up post-series drinks at a Hobart hotel, that included Joe Root, Jimmy Anderson, Alex Carey, Travis Head and Nathan Lyon.
>Vision of the incident was leaked, and later traced back to Thorpe who filmed it and shared the footage with some friends
>According to reports in the UK, Surrey Coroner’s Court heard during the first day of the inquest on Wednesday that Thorpe was “distraught, horrified, ashamed,” and “terrified” by the leak.

things always seem worse when you're in the middle but surely can't have been worth killing himself over, with the old boys club cricket he could have just gotten a comfy job at county level surely

Honestly don’t understand why atheists haven’t already killed themselves. I would’ve killed myself a thousand times if I didn’t believe there was any accountability.

>>149928738
I'm saying if I didn't believe that I'll be held accountable for killing myself I most likely would've killed myself. Life, existence, would have no purpose no matter what you are doing to cope with it everyone dies and the universe eventually implodes on itself or even before that the sun expands and destroys the earth so there's literally no point in building anything or doing anything at all if reality is merely material and we aren't immortal souls. Why bother, just be nihilistic who cares if you kill yourself there's no point living anyway.
Maybe there aren't actually any real atheists

what was /cric/'s reaction to pant being injured last night?

>>149928817
nah, bunch of cow-bell noises.

https://youtu.be/LLsM5Nn8xjY&t=3554

I’ve never worked out exactly why that Steve Harmison slower ball was a ‘staggering gamble’ as per the commentary.
Australia were still more than a hundred runs behind with only three wickets remaining. If Clarke had picked it it wouldn’t have made much difference at that stage of the game

>>149928836
mature and respectful. it's cric after all

Tuffers doesn't realise there are county games are on and thats why Jimmy isn't at Old Trafford.

The stick that he does must get tiring after 30 years.

If nihilism is true, it doesn’t follow that you should kill yourself or that life is not worth living. If you think that, you’re adding values and oughts through the back door.
David Hume dealt with all this centuries ago in Treatise of Human Nature.

GONE GOTTEM FUCK OFF CUNT

>>149928835
yeah i understood the first time, no need to reiterate with x3 the words. people will be hurt by a suicide. end of story. therefore it's a bad thing to do. don't need a fear of a theoretical post-death repercussion. you don't do it because it's a net negative and a dickhead thing to do

Yeah India ain't making 300

>>149928672
Not sure this follows unless you're depressed and can only think of life in terms of pain

Why not just accept the absurdity of existence and enjoy the pleasures that life has to offer?

Mad how you can just deliberately injure someone and win the match

should have worn his steel cap work boots, not my problem

50 up for Harmo and thats a lead of 300 up for Essex. Reckon Westley should think of declaring.

aaand he's out next ball anyway.

>>149928835
Existence is just ennui my son. What is unbearable about existence is the ease of it. You don't have to be, you just are. Would you rather do nothing or do something, given that nothing really matters? I would do nothing since that's all that matters. It is only you theists who have to worry about cosmic causality. As if the unfathomable fate of a disreputably inhabited ball of mud stretching across the span of billions of years would somehow proffer a bursting bubble of breath with meaning. How absurd to even think of such a thing. You theists and your silly notions. Why don't YOU give it a rest and do nothing.

Eastern "religions" like Buddhism and Hinduism are essentially nihilistic in nature, and should be rejected by educated people
Catholicism is the logical conclusion for the majority of serious thinkers with an IQ of 144 or higher

ffs at this rate India will be batting this time tomorrow as well

Bumrush will clean up as well. Carse is so shit.

>>149929224
would be funny
englel can spread their field wide knowing both batspersonmans will not run singles

the indian team announcement is "we will play with 12 players"

>Here's the official BCCI update on Pant: ????????????????????????: Rishabh Pant, who sustained an injury to his right foot on Day 1 of the Manchester Test, will not be performing wicket-keeping duties for the remainder of the match. Dhruv Jurel will assume the role of wicket-keeper.

Pant is back....

If Pant comes out to bat just keep bowling yorkers at him, might rip the toe clean off

Does India have a lot of Thakurs?

mother thakur!

>>149929383
THA-koor

The Thakurs are famed for having a species of waterfowl named after them, known as the Thak-a-Dack over there.

>England on top
>somehow bindia will get close or around 400

the narrative is won,but the game ? heh...Just needs more time

This series has been interesting in that you have no idea whos winning until at least day 4

Bazball for you

PANTS ARE COMMING OUT

YORKER TIME

The strategy has to be relentless yorkers, surely.

>>149929642
sir her vegano is in there !!

I think its really really bad sportsmanship to bowl yorkers at pant here

its funny because the marketing here really pushes it as Australian.

>bald bearded man with tattoos telling you his bespoke Indian Pale Ale is great because it is hoppy

>Agnew: hope he doesn't cop one on the foot. that would be horrific!

Nah fuck that I'm breaking that 4th metatarsal and take him out for good. He chose to come out.

fuck yeah, that was a solid bouncer

wonder how many the fatty will drop in Scarborough today

i usually drink a cheap mid strength beer at home like rivet gold then go to the pub and drink resches for the rest of the night. then for kick ons i get something easier like -196 lemons or white claws

>>149929696
>the ugliest australian woman

we better not be drinking at the /cric/ meet this summer

>>149929681
yes cask ale for me
that's the USP of a pub. a lot of people don't realise this

>>149929749
marys at the eq? been there a few times its only decent if theres a concert prior

york this tub of lard already

maybe I'm misunderstanding something but why didn't they put in a substitute runner for pant

>>149929793
shitma pant

>>149929793
runners have been banned since 2011

so are you britons getting kicked off 4channel for good?

>>149929830
nothing ever happens

>>149929830
imagine the lack of blogposting

>>149929830
they just have to put an ID in to access it
dunno why theyre worried, the govt already knows very well that theyre a 4ch poster

>>149929847
well at least we know 4chan will never get hacked and leak everyones data

>>149929830
reddit has age verification for 18+ boards so it might be a case of blue boards vs red boards in which case all the pol blowies will be looking for other boards

>>149929860
fuck me, thatd be terrible for everyone

>rain
>stopping the cricket
>in england
>the country that created cricket
how could this be happening?

>>149929847
Its supposed to be enforced already, and you need to ID for the major porn sites if on a uk ip, but they aren't and you can access the pink boards no trouble. Even reddit has agreed to have all UK users submit proof of age.

Said it in another post but the regulator is piss-weak and they are too pussy to do shit, maybe they'll get round to it in 2 years time.

>>149929868
then again 4chan as a whole is already 18+ so it would be kind of redundant

indian commentators sucking off ravindra again

>>149929893
aren't the regulator reviewing 4chan as we speak?
I remember seeing something from mid June about it

>>149929893
tomorrow is the deadline that all sites have to comply with it

damn my situation
and the games i have to play
with all the things caught in my mind
and damn my education
i cant find the words to say
of all the things caught in my mind

well it's been good knowing all of you then

>>149929941
its gonna be us and the peewees
very scary to think about

>>149929941
zachy uploaded his ID weeks ago

>>149929927
What realistically could Comrade Starmer do if gookmoot just said fuck off and did nothing?

>>149929911
Supposedly the regulator Ofcom tried to get in contact with 4chan several months back and got no reply kek, but I think that was more about general "internet protection and review of content" or whatever rather than about the new age check enforcement, and 4chan was always going to be a target because there is legitimately stuff on here thats disgusting. I guess they're supposed to be reviewing the content but they are supposed to be doing that with hundreds of websites.

>>149929927
I thought the deadline was the start of this month? Doubt it will make a difference anyway.

can one of the brits tell me if changing the www to old gets past the age requirement for 18+ subreddits

>>149929968
the man is a literal roundabout
he will do the exact same he done since elected, float shit ideas then back track when everyone tells him to fuck off
I have money on him getting out to a no-confidence vote before next spring

>>149929968
Don't know why you're trying to blame Starmer when it was a Tory piece of legislation.

>>149929968
>Adults wanting to access explicit material should experience a significant change in how they use the internet - while websites that ignore the new laws could be fined up to £18m, or 10% of worldwide revenue.

now i don't know how the UK govt has the authority to fine websites not based here but the fact thousands of websites are complying means there must be some legal basis to it

WAKING UP FROM BAD DREAMS
AND SMOKING CIGARETTES

AND SMELLING STALE PERFUME

>>149929986
because most websites dont want trouble.
its probably not a huge amount of dev work either, I assume the govt has provided a framework for calling the ID checks since theres a lot of security implications that need to be considered (cant have everyone coding their own systems)

Cricket outfits used to look so much better before they had big names and numbers on the back

>>149929968
block the site from being accessible in Britain

>>149929884
they likely played in the ran back in the 1600s

>>149930044
and the inevitable push back from the public will backlash on Starmer, apparently its not his policy but he will get the blame, kek

>>149930018
>We’ll have to implement AV wherever it is legally mandated. It’s not like we have a choice. Legal challenges were our only option — but now, even the courts have been swept up in the hysteria.

>The largest established adult sites, such as ours, will be immediately destroyed.

>We know that only about 10% of the user base will remain after AV is implemented — and the 10% who stay (thanks, by the way) are very costly to verify.

>So much so that we expect to operate at a financial loss.

don't think they can just ignore it

>>149929955
given all the narcissistic blogposting he's done over the years there's probably not a single database anywhere without all his details on

>>149930077
I am actually in favour of it
I actively want more and more restrictions on clear net, it means less spam and bullshit all round, easier regulation and yes, safer for younger people.
The rest will end up on Tor which will then improve Tor in general, bringing it and other similar privacy focused protocols closer to the public

>>149930069
If it works like how it'll almost certainty have to work, you will be able to get around it in 30 seconds by changing the DNS on your router.

>>149930080
don't really understand what this means
are there numerous databases in lots of different places
what sort
what ones am I one that you're not

>>149930145
+ imagine the porno mag economy

>>149930161
lol, i couldn't care less, if I am in the mood to watch porn, i have a choice of several different vpn's
the only difference in my life will be my ability to post here as I can't be arsed searching for a vpn that isn't on the blocklists used by 4channel

kino is back on the menu lads

might be time to start the discord fellas

>>149930224

>>149930177
kek, the news headlines in 3 weeks after ban
>instances of porno mag stashes in woods and remote areas have shot up recently

>>149930244
just to have an account???
we'd just have the discord be SFW since theres literally no reason for anyone to ever post NSFW in a /cric/ thread

I feel like the barrier to entry is far too low now when it comes to people being able to Post online, it lets the worst people take over
We must return

fire up the 'cord

If there’s one thing the British establishment hates it’s children viewing pornography when they should be outside getting molested by priests, school teachers, senior civil servants, Tory MPs and Muslim gangs.

>>149930258
I think that pom made a good point about pushing Tor to develop more
a more anonymised internet is the only solution to the direction the world is heading in

>>149930246
went to know how i could go from buying nuts magazine as a 12 year old to getting ID'd for energy drinks as an adult 2bh

>>149930258
its inevitable, it happens in all systems
lol, the outcry with the advent of the post box and postage stamp was furious, people were up in arms that youngsters could communicate without adults being involved
TOR is the next evolution, AI will soon lock down clearnet, not a bad thing, its such an integral part of life it needs improvement and safety, especially for children, so TOR will progress

>>149929981
If you don't repeal legislation, it becomes yours once in power.

>>149930311
kek
i used to buy single smokes when I was 14
been a looong ass time since I was IDed for anything

>>149930315
I really like your takes on this. It all makes a lot of sense.

>>149930069
you over-estimate how many people use this shithole, and it probably be a good thing for most its users.
>>149930177
this is the thing. all the wankers crying about it but porn isn't illegal, if you went into a shop you'd might be expected to show ID. Idiots these days seem to think the internet is a magic place free from laws and they have a right for things on here, and I say that as someone who is generally in favour of the right to be anonymous on the internet.
>>149930258
this. At the end of the day people with some computer abilities will know how to get round it and kids and retards won't so its all fine.

>>149930258
reminder that only 55% of India has Internet access and a good percentage of that access has been gained in the last 5 years

>>149930405
theres prob only 40 aussies across /sp/, excl blowies that log on once or twice a year

Anyone hear someone swear at the fielder for not rushing to get the ball lol

very maxwell-esque innings from trousers here

>>149930426
In summary, the largest and most rapid additions to the global online community are occurring in:

India

Indonesia

Nigeria

Pakistan

Bangladesh

I cant see this greatly improving the quality of internet user

went lifeboat chippy for lucky
maybe the best in the world

GONE GOT HIM YES HE'S GONE GO ON FUCK OFF MATE ON YOUR FUCKING BIKE

>yes, I will hit the ball straight to a fielder

it gets me every time

Every delivery at Pant should be going right at his busted toe.

how long do you think you have to be on the internet to make it to 4ch?
feel like 4chs position in cultural relevance has fallen enormously in the last 6 years and is therefore potentially much less discoverable now

Reckon the best strategy would be a spinner tossing it up on variable lengths to force him to work his feet and put pressure on the broken bone

>>149930652
There's a good grift to be made from posting random screenshots from 4chan and posting it on Twitter when VTuber drama happens. Wonder how much traction you could get doing the same for /sp/ threads

This shit cunt Dukes ball making it possible for slow medium pacers to get 5 fers demeans test cricket.

>>149929979
I always use old and haven't seen any issues, so I assume it does

>>149930669
He'd smash that literal who spinner out of the park.

GONE

If I'm England, I'm not trying to take any wickets here. Just keep making Pant twist his pants and see if you can't make some bone appear

Lads is it a good thing when Ben Stokes gets a 5fer?

>>149930652
its more to do with the individual than the site in my opinion
you start using different search engines etc, who you talk to, you will find this and similar sites
I know people that have been online the same amount of time as I have been and are still clueless about most fringe sites that have came and gone and here

and there's so much spam garbage for football that it'll be a drop in the ocean and get no traction in between the thousands of morons posting yet another messi vs ronaldo comparison.

>>149930652
It’s difficult to answer this because the children these days are essentially on the internet from whatever age. It’s not like it used to be 16 then 14 year olds coming online, people are giving their kids tablets at like 8yo it’s mental

I blew in from forums back in the late 00s and thought for years forums must be dead what with Reddit and everything. But actually some forums are still going, surely their heyday was in the early-mid 00s.

>>149930677
talking about grift
modern AI is causing betting companies problems due to the ability to track sharply moving prices
that is all

I think the real gap in the market is someone doing jomboy-like breakdowns for non-american sports i.e. cricket, rugby, league
but that's not 4ch related

>>149930746
Jomboy's gimmick is that he just has an American accent.

>>149930746
I saw some old man do "American Reacts to Cricket" videos and get hundreds of thousands of views. The Grade Cricketer also gets big Indian views.

WTF I just missed like 3 wickets after lunch!

>man who can't walk or move his feet scores 50 against the English Cricket Team
narrative has been permanently LOST today by the poms.

>>149930652
4chan has been dropping in relevance for more than a decade. Back in the day transsexuals were a weird niche thing.
Anime and K-pop jpop was niche too. Now all that is mainstream culture. If you want to talk /pol/ you can do that on twitter or the comments section of most right wing media.
And 4chan has cleaned up too. You hardly see actual child porn anymore

>>149930765
not going to lie, I quite like The Grade Cricketers videos - mainly their match summaries after every day of a test

mad how he can bat with a broken foot but not put the gloves over a bruised finger

>>149930784
Should be forced to keep, or have someone who isn't that sub keeper do it.

>>149930790
yeah sub fielders shouldn't be able to keep

dont feel like its happened yet

>>149930845
I've actually never been despite going to Beckenham and Tunbridge Wells , would like to but its sovl factor decreased massively when they built old people flats.

>>149930862
kek it has happened, it just means its too easy to troll ppl about it.
e.g. we don't use that word here mate

couple bouncers to siraj could be the play here

>>149930862
It’s moved a little bit. But when you’ve got people on radio call ins naming the Jew and talking about the replacement, 4chan just doesn’t have the cache anymore. Even your uncle Jim is fapping to traps now

>>149930910
eh just feels like isolated pockets at the moment, though i assume some of the more mundane boards are probably very SFW (i.e. diy)

4chan "culture" is dead in the water, the same b8 threads from a decade ago, retards making the same threads from a decade ago, generals making up like half the catalogue on some boards, no new memes for years, pepe and feels guy are a perfect example of this, idiots falling for the same trolls, porn covering all of the pink boards regardless of what they actually are for, pol posters pol posting on all boards. All the genuinely edgy people who were creative or original left and as a result this place is extremely stale, it isn't a wonder the traffic has been going down solidly since the cough. Place is basically a right wing version of reddit.

people went from trying and failing to not trying, much more miserable

So I crunched the numbers
Joe Root needs 31 runs to move past Dravid and Kallis on the career test runs list, to put him in 3rd.
Root needs 120 runs to move past Ponting into 2nd place.

This could be quite an interesting match in terms of stats.

if i could be bothered i'd have made several of webms of pant this test already
