>After that, in 2011, the Australian veteran was deployed to Afghanistan on a "mixed" base alongside Afghan National Army troops where he said he became concerned about sexual assault.

>The commission was told that Afghans at the patrol base would regularly "bring in children" and be sexually abusive to them.

>"I had an incident that happened to me prior to going on ... my leave," the veteran said of his time on the base.

>That incident, the veteran said, was when Afghan troops invited him for a cup of tea and offered him what he thought was tobacco.

>The veteran said he consumed the black substance then recalled his pulse racing and "coming to" on his back, with a bloody mouth.

>He then returned to his quarters on the base where he "sort of processed what had occurred", before seeking treatment from a medic.

>"I didn't really want to believe it but I knew what had happened, and then one of the ANA made out a gesture and I knew," he said.

>The veteran said: "My feeling is that I've had a war crime occur to me."

>When he returned from overseas, the veteran started to abuse drugs and alcohol, gamble heavily, and thought about suicide after comrades in his unit took their lives, before he was discharged in 2017.

good one la

Auspuffs at it again

im starting to consciously feel the negative effect of scrolling reels
even after 10mins I notice it making me feel either angry or dejected, even if everything im watching is either funny or doesn't disagree with my worldview (echo chamber type beat)
would love to remove reels from my life but these days its part of being a "normal person" - it used to be "have you seen breaking bad?" and now its "did you see that CEO at the Coldplay concert?"

couldn't be me

do NOT look up Chris Tremlett post retirement

is this a brutal mogging?

*sigh*

it will either be the Manchester Super Giants (link to the city) or the Original Super Giant (link to the old name) second is unlikely as the obviously the first super giant team is in Lucknow, but would allow them to move the franchise around like some Americans play thing.

Its pretty sad to have your sport sold to the highest shidder
This is a point of no return as well. Unless you have a future government that decides it needs to nationalise cricket again, the Indians will be involved more and more and more.

Looking forward to the Trent Punjab Kings

If you think about it logically the Afghans who would oppose their own people and side with the invading army of infidels would necessarily be the worst kind of Afghan. Cricket is a Taliban sport and we as cricketeers should support cricket and what’s good for cricket, not war not pedos not the opioid trade

My findings are that a sportsman should continue playing sport, whether that’s golf or bouldering or pétanque or badminton it doesn’t matter what just do what you like. The important thing is to keep the physical activity levels up and have treat day once a week

YFO pls m8

Can I shock you? I think the increased commercialisation and corporate takeover of cricket is a good thing which will lead to higher standards of play and grow the game internationally.
Much better than a few blazers at the MCC making ignorant decisions over too many brandies.
The standard of English football is unimaginably higher now than in the 70s or 80s. Go back and watch all the back passing George Graham shit

k I'll consider it

football is extremely soulless now. grim if anyone's using the PL as a target

are Nige is cool, ya¿

Don't know why India sees any value in English cricket, their benevolence will just go to waste. Let the ingrates go bust. Invest in the Welsh Premier League instead.

I don't think the higher standards of play in football are due to globalism at all, its essentially the same thing thats happened to all sport... sports science.
Its pretty clear if you just go watch old cricket - none of them pass the eye test and most of them don't even move like an athlete, they look sluggish and a little uncoordinated

>its up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iofiDTgoLaw

>>150210766
Yeah big fan of Nige

watching old Top Gear episodes

The sports science is in place because football clubs became part of a global product with demands and shareholders and commensurate money.
If every club was still run by big Geoff as a way to launder the receipts from his knocking shop cum casino round the back of the bus station it would never have happened.

data science killed football and created the tap in meme
cricket has had a similar issue with everyone becoming le line and length man. you don't really see bowlers who consistently get to 150k+ anymore
sad

It’s technological advancement mostly, and the application of that in several professional sports leagues in multiple sports and at the olympics. Not only physical fitness and injury prevention but also equipment and mental approach. Lots of things people don’t always think about like the condition of the grass playing surface has improved dramatically in the last 40 years. We also have limited actual footage of matches from a certain point in time so there’s a bias in the data there

>>150210884
Aren't England doing the exact opposite? Overlooking line and length aficionados (e.g., Sam Cook) for bowlsmen with raw pace but less talent (e.g., Josh Tongue)

Another example is former Pear Mitch Stanley, who's been in the England development set-up for years despite never actually getting good figures in any professional game, purely because he can bowl at 90mph+

Was talking to some coaches about it, and the thinking is that it's easier for a raw paceman to be trained on accuracy than it is for a line and length merchant to be trained on pace

You can see some footage of Bradman for example and he looks like a genius and then you have to add to that the equipment he was using, things like his shoes and protective gear wouldn’t be as comfortable or effective as modern stuff, the curation of pitches is better now because the science is better understood, his diet would be better now and he’d have better eyesight and reaction times because he’d know how to improve them more efficiently and etc etc

You take Bradman at the peak of his powers and teleport him to 2025.
Assuming it might take him a little time to adjust to the modern game - how long does he need to make the current test team?

>le hits some fours against part-time policeman man was le good
he'd be instantly exposed lmao

Business idea: play a few tests a year on uncovered pitches as a gimmick, like pink ball tests
Batting always looks a bit weird in old footage. Might be the angle of it or the frame rate or something

You have to say something more like if Bradman was born a zoomer, under the same circumstances, his natural affinity and talent would still be there and he’d be brought up throughout his junior development and into his professional career. He’d be test captain

It's funny how we all talk about Bradman so much but theres literally no English cricketer of old that people have any interest in

you are right, but I don't particularly want to imagine Bradman talking and acting like a zoomer

ahhh yea nah like eh i had a stump and shit fr and a golf ball heh fuck nah it was like a fucking water thing uhhh fuck or sum shit, washed as shit cunt

WG Grace is the one I’d like to see. Must be some nerdy way to adjust the averages to show how much his stats would be worth in today’s money
There’s an argument that the whole apparatus of professional sport comes from Grace trying to get paid more

>>150210884
>le line and length
because its just more effective than doing a Harmison.
>>150210968
>Aren't England doing the exact opposite?
yh, there's all this stuff lately about them trying to push for more fasts but the problem is that English conditions have traditionally not suited fasts and for the Championship its still true. Its probably one of the reasons they want to have fewer matches. Its also led to complete meme selections like Tongue, Hull and picking Carse over an actual swing bowler.

It has always been an issue, you have fasts who are just "pie chuckers but very fast" and then guys who are slower but move it. Its pretty rare for a fast to be very accurate and very fast. The other problem is that they've always been prone to injuries, Truman, Holding and Lillie all had recurring problems to name but three.

This is the problem with their plan, as you said a guy who gets 90 >it's easier for a raw paceman to be trained on accuracy than it is for a line and length merchant to be trained on pace
the problem is that they generally have to drop pace to do it, see Anderson, and he never recovered it. I suspect that's true for quite a few. It also begs the reply, why are so few fasts know for their accuracy then and the ones that are its always made a point of?

>>150211311
Hobbs

and they are just batsmen.

When was the last time anyone in /cric/ discussed any of them? also Bert Sutcliffe is a Kiwi

sounds about right. so who else did bert suck?

Herbert Sutcliffe who averages 61 was defo not a kiwi, was a Yorkshireman.

>Sutcliffe was born in the Auckland suburb of Ponsonby to parents who had migrated from Lancashire in 1921.[2] He was a brilliant schoolboy cricketer at Takapuna Grammar School,[3] and spent two years at teacher training college before joining the army in 1944.[4][5]
>He scored heavily in matches he was able to play while serving with New Zealand forces in Egypt and Italy at the end of the Second World War.[3] He served in the cypher section of the army signals unit in Japan in 1946, where he played cricket in Chōfu.

Viv Richards was better than Don Bradman 2bh

so Tendulkar is really worse than several allrounders and tailenders?

He never scored a double hundred and youre calling him a great?

i'll end your tail ifnyou sully the name of my god again bloody benchod bitch

The County Championship is just not a very good production line for elite players.
Didn’t produce a single batsman to average over 50 in tests between Ken Barrington in 1968 and Root debut in 2012.
In that time, Australia had Greg Chappell, Waugh, Border, Ponting, Hussey; India had Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Dravid; Pakistan had Miandad, Khan, Inzy, Yousuf; West Indies had Richards, Lara, Chanderpaul and even South Africa had Kallis and ABD despite being banned for half that period.
I could do the same for elite fast bowlers and spinners, but you get the picture

fuck off you currymunching rat piece of shit

FUCKING KILL YOURSELF SUBHUMAN SHITSHIN

that thumbnail is everyone when sebshit enters the thread kek

Instead of trying to select a team that can beat Australia just select your best players for each position. So you need 4 pacemen, pick your 4 best ones and another one or two as backup. This ridiculous idea that you need these niche players for the Australian conditions never works and is completely unpredictable anyway. How many bowlers do they bring on tour, like 6 or 7 idk, but you will need two spinners and 4 quicks at minimum (SCG for two spinners and Perth at least four quicks). Not rocket science. Silly Poms

>>150211487
>t. hundred shill

>>150211579
done him lmao

It’s obvious that your best quick (think seam) bowler will be better in Australia because the conditions will suit him better than English conditions, so bring him but not at the expense of your actual best bowlers

KABOOM bross
our response to yesterday¿?

if the best 'le line and length' guys are going to be Woakes and Stokes then yeah play/rotate Tongue, Archer and Wood - maybe another fast man if available, maybe Mahmood or whoever else is a similar style bowler

>>150211712
What are you talking about?

>>150211737
not those two individuals, clearly. but your thoughts on wi vs pak ODI yesterday fella?

>>150211661
Nah it has to be Archer and Wood rotated around as both are such injury risks they can't afford to be played in consecutive matches. Then play Atkinson with them who is Englands best bowler atm and averages the best part of 90mph. Then it has to be a stock workhorse bowler like Potts who will bowl 20 good overs an innings as Stokes and Wood can't.

Fasts are important in Australia, everyone knows that, but one of the problems with the India series was there was no balance to the bowling selection.

>>150211764
Didn’t watch it and don’t know who won or what happened. I pretty much only pay attention to ODI when the WC is on, and last WC I only watched two games (Australia’s semi and the final)

I might’ve seen the other semi too, can’t remember really

they could never be allowed in the same side. if Salt and Pepper were at the crease together that is quite literally all the commentators would talk about till one of them got out

The ashes will depend on whether or not pozzies' bowlers will stay fit and how many competent foreign mercenaries the cowardly English can fit into the side to cover for English incompetence.

pretty nice that the Summer Of Cricket won't feature any jeets this year

great thread going lads

why is there such a big break between t20s? fucking get this shit done so we can watch the ODIs

business idea: teach the chinese how to play cricket

>>150211546
never scored a double hundred though
clearly didnt have the endurance to score big, just some ancient bazballer who tired after 8 overs at the crease

cricket. what is it good for?

>>150218797
I need that enlightenment URGENTLY
Already terrified that Saturday will bring another LBW against an off spinner attempting a big slog sweep on middle
Really hope I'll get to face a paceman for once

What's the correct way to play when you come in against accurate off spin after a mini mid-order collapse and with the field in?

That's the situation I've faced, and repeatedly failed in, for each of my 1s innings so far this season

A decent batsman would use his feet to get to the pitch of the ball and loft the ball over the infield, but I don't quite have the bollocks for that

learn the sweep (assuming you're RHB)

>>150223186
Whats the field?

>>150223221
Nothing was going down leg unfortunately. Tried the sweep twice to balls on middle and was out both times

>>150223229
Typically a 6-3, I think. Fairly standard. Man in at silly middle off catching, one at deep backward square and one at deep cover, and everybody else on the ring in standard positions tight on the single

Possibly a 5-4, actually
Mid on, close mid wicket, deep backward square, short fine leg
Something like that, anyway

have you considered meeting the ball with the middle of the bat?

quite simply refuse to ever consider anything really

>>150223298
no but steven required run rate

>>150223270
So scoring on the leg side then. Consider going across your stumps? Not as risky as it looks if you don't premeditate a slog

>>150223298
Only when playing a forceful front foot cut, otherwise I simply won't entertain the idea

>>150223339
That's sort of what I tried, but trapped LBW both times
Possibly didn't move my feet enough thoughever, could be a bit more ballsy and fully step across the stumps to make it a proper leg side shot
Have considered taking a leg stump guard and opening up a bit more space on off though, that feels a bit lower risk

Big fan of inching forward so you’re out of the crease before the bowler delivers so his accurate length ball is now a half volley. Try to do it subtly so the bowler isn’t quite sure you’ve done it.
Most lower level wicket keepers aren’t good enough to stump you, you’ll have time to stick the bat back if you realise you’ve fucked it

>>150223433
Yeah that's a good strategy, anything that throws the bowler off line/length is worth doing
When trying it against spinners I normally get too scared of being stumped though, rock back again, and then find myself off balance when playing the shot
Think it's just a case of having confidence and trusting that you won't miss the ball

>with the field in
literally just slog it to leg lmao it's not hard

Two things.
First thing, t20 double-headers where the teams play back to back (not where there’s four teams).
Second thing, if you’re thinking about what you’re doing you’re not doing it right. If you want to play spin you’ll need to take up some martial arts training, actual traditional martial arts not the gay sports kind, or something like that where you train to forget so everything just happens. It’s called “no mind”

I get confidence to go out to spinners not so much from my own ability, but by knowing it’s not exactly Jack Russell or Ian Healy waiting to stump me. Depends what level you’re playing

>learn the sweep
Exactly why the English have been abhorrent players of spin. VVS Laxman would never

Treating them with total disrespect is a very worthy and viable strategy. They aren’t real bowlers, they’re the pugs of bowlers

>Ashwin recalls Sehwag's not-so-kind quip : 'Off-spinners are not bowlers'

“There was an incident in Dambulla, where every ball that I bowled, first ball I bowled outside off stump, Sehwag cut me. Next ball I bowled on off stump, he cuts me. Next ball I bowled on middle stump, he cuts me. The next ball I bowl on leg stump, he again cuts me. So I said ‘what the hell is happening’. So I just bowled a ball fuller, Sehwag stepped out and slugged me out for a six,” Ashwin said.

>According to The Indian Express, he said, “But then I couldn’t hold myself back, I went to him (Sehwag) and asked, ‘so what should I do to improve’. If I had ask to Sachin, he would have given me some tips. If it were MS, he would have given me a perspective.”

“Viru said, ‘You know what, I don’t think off-spinners are bowlers. They do not trouble me at all. I just find it easy smashing them’. I said ‘Sir you are cutting me’. He said, ‘Yeah, I hit off-spinners against the spin on the off side and for left-arm spinners, I will hit against the spin on the leg side.”

3 lines or less pal

>>150223566
no but steven abbreviate

>just be Sehwag bro
It’s a simple game

>just aspire to be a flat track fraud
yeah nah

My favourite Sehwag memory is the third test of the 2011 series, when he was coming back from a few matches out, and Indian posters on certain online forums were very bullish that now the big man was back the britishers were going to feel it, that Viru was here to teach them some manners, and then he was out first ball to Broad, and in the second innings first ball to Anderson.

kek I remember that king pair and it was the series where England won 4-0 and every defeat was like an innings and 300 runs. jeets really got exposed against swing there

>'Some hit the side net': Jhye Richardson begins road back
>here's your next generation bowling stocks bro
they're producing no openers and have no Steve Smith replacement either. we may not win this series but very grim times for pozgaylians ahead for us to cash in on lads

simply recruit some more singaporian guns for hire

Looking forward to the upcoming ashes as, having zero allegiances to either, can simply watch as a neutral where both sides produce a compelling series. Preferably with an ending where a disgruntled citizen performs a Port Arthur 2.0, taking out players of both sides.

Mad how Ahmed has way better stats than Bashir yet he never gets picked as the token brown spinner

oh sorry, you mean that rehan Ahmed
Sorry got confused

Ahmed has potential to be quite elite based on his age but he won't be because our county system makes any legspinner look amazing without developing much skill. should have just got a long run in the test team and averaged 45 for a bit with some useful batting cameos then slowly got the bowling average sorted mid-career a la Anderson

why would I want to go to North America or Asia?

>>150228637
Central Asia was probably the big contender for this year's trip vs India/Nepal. Other options I'd like to do at some point are East Asia, Central America, and Southern Africa. I guess more of USA/Canada and maybe (dare I say it) Oz/NZ too, but they'll cost money and I prefer to stay in thirdie shitholes where everything is dirt cheap. After those trips I think I'll have got it all out of my system, and I'll never have to leave Europe again

Funny that a bunch of countries that were recently invaded by Russia would want to join a defensive alliance which was created to defend potential Russian invasion. Very strange indeed, a real head scratcher

NATO were creeping towards their border

>>150229926
and how many were overthrown by america

NATO were already on the USSR border with Turkey and the Russian border with Norway. It’s an exceptionally retarded argument not based on facts or truth.
When your neighbours are forming defensive alliances and you’ve been invading some of the ones that aren’t in that alliance, and you’re arguing that the existence of the alliance is a threat to you and makes you want to invade more countries, you must be Russian. And if you believe that’s why they invaded Ukraine you’re an idiot

>>150229990
What are you asking, how many of the formerly communist eastern bloc countries which are now NATO members were overthrown by America? That doesn’t make sense. None of them.
Ukraine had that orange revolution which was supported and probably (definitely) orchestrated by the Americans but they aren’t and weren’t in NATO

ignore the fact steyns got 4x the 5 wicket bags with less than 2x the games. zero 10 wicket hauls for Joel fraudner.
garner clearly isnt a wicket machine, he could just keep the runs scored down

reckon Rabada would be on track to beat him but SA simply hardly play test cricket

Av: 19.82
SR: 42.68
Eco: 2.79

Bumrah is objectively #1 in all formats.

I'm guessing McGrath must beat Steyn if you look at pure stats like that but I'd rate Steyn higher (eye test)

If Jazzy B got to play on the same wickets as Rabada he'd average 11

talking about bowlers not baseball pitchers mate

If Indians weren't so short and weak they would be good at sport

>>150230652
