Thread 150647189

Eng v SA in a bit

YFO

BBLWFO

Can we make this a ‘mick free zone? No Aussie samefagger, no Zachyposting, no Bardposting or britjeet posting? Just cricket discussion and photographs of Aneet Padda

what does O D I mean?

>Aneet Padda
meant isa guha iykwim haha

No cricket for the foreseeable future so we might as well not bother with this thread

is aussie samefagger the 'ickname you've coined for anyone with an aus flag who laughs at a sebbo post?

Haven't shaved for about 4 weeks and now I'm wondering if I should just grow a big beard again

at the very least you should be shaving your shaft every couple of days, balls don't matter but shaft hair is frowned upon in some circles

i'd ban shaft hair if i was prime minister

Not interested in being parts of circles like that

Given the choice between gimmickposting and commenting on the meaningless ODI currently underway, I will continue to gimmickpost thank you very much.
That’s the devil-may-care attitude and refusal to be bowed, the sheer tenacity that has won me the freehold of a three bed house in Perivale while you fester in your provincial bedsit

the Perivale neek lied about leaving cric until the ashes then?
shame, was looking forward to not having his neeky aura around

coming up with a console design to store my records and to place my amp, speakers and turntable on without looking like shit is almost impossible
literally the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life

>theres no funny auss-ACK
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oawMfCMLkHU

first and foremost your speakers and turntable shouldn't be anywhere near each other

>>150647995
show us what you've got so far

we're winning
series are a meme btw. if you win last you're basically the title holders - like in boxing

>>150648040
all have to have be connected by cables don't they

GONE GOTTEM
KICKED THE DUCKETT

>>150648044
haven't gotten very far mate can't see much online that doesn't look like dogshit

Reckon that was actually Zachy pretending, wearing another man’s skin

>>150648073
not an issue, but speakers being on the same piece of furniture as the turntable is

Would be better if there was deanoball on this weekend too so I could justify sitting on my fat arse watching sports all weekend

The Vitality T20 Blast QFs yesterday were quite fun to watch, and the ODI today is fine too, but would be better if I could combine that with some deanoball in a multi-screen set-up

Next weekend we've got the T20 finals day and a full round of deanoball again but I'm visiting family and they'll probably want me to do things that aren't just sitting on my fat arse watching sports all day

>>150648101
yeah that makes sense when you point it out
makes the job even harder but thanks mate I appreciate the advice

have you got a setup to share?

That was an absolute dolly

DROPPED THE CARSE-STEYN

>>150648106
state of this consoomer
>I watched non-cricket and then I followed it up with a sesh of non-cricket and some more non-cricket
dire

Suppose I could try alcoholism, indoor climbing, and relentless persona posting on /cric/ to pass the time on weekends instead, seems like that's working out really well for certain men

decided I will have a separate stereo setup to the tv
tv I'll stick with the soundbar I guess

>>150648226
i feel like its worth the effort to set it all up

>>150648206
lmao bodied that noodle armed freak

Rented a holiday cottage overlooking Lulworth Cove so I can take some thirst trap pics. Gotta farm that aura on the ‘gram

>>150648145
I live in filth surrounded by empty beers and cat hair, but recordwise, Numark TTX into a Soundcraft Notepad 12 into JBL LSR305P & JBL LSR310S under the desk.

well done fuckhead you posted an image in the thread and ruined the streak

>>150648293
I was not aware of the community's goals regarding this

>>150648250
Couldn't you have just taken the photos without paying literally trillions for a UK holiday cottage rental? Or just stolen someone else's photos? Not like anybody will reverse image search your 'gram desu

Thank you for supporting the Herefordshire economy

Here nor therefordshire

An astute observation

>>150648287
would love a full deskbro zone but space is at a premium unfortunately
barely enough space for my guitar gear including the jc40 I think you recommended to me years ago lol (still loving it)

*clean bowls bard for a golden duck*

Step into the mind of Joe Poot

>>150647838
haha ikwym haha iykwim haha
wouldn't mind getting a whiff of their butter chicken breasts and thighs iykwim haha

>>150648229
it's probably something Ill return to in a few years when my record collection gets so large that it needs a new piece of furniture built

>>150648426
Honestly? Seems unlikely because I generally look to block the first ball (due to fear of getting a golden duck) and don't typically get bowled against slow bowlers if I'm blocking

What I would recommend is throwing down some non-spinning shit on middle and leg and I'll try a big hoik across the line ang get trapped LBW for a golden

Who's winning?

*switches ball into left hand, bowls left handed and clean bowls bard (who has run to hide in the pavilion and exposed his stumps) first ball*

Business idea: pavilion named after bard at lords

the neek pavilion

ynr Sonny Baker

ynr i'd give ellyse my diamond dick iykwim haha

>>150648420
hah, yeah that was me and glad to hear it's holding up, got any over the top pedal setup going?

the fact is jacob bethell might be most talented cricketer england have produced in a generation

>>150648508
Would only work if you could bowl with frightening pace and bounce
But that's exactly how I'd play anyone bowling north of 80mph desu, just take a guard a few stumps outside leg, loosely dangle the bat in the direction of the ball just in case, but ultimately be glad when getting clean bowled
Shame I didn't get to face Dre Russ back in the day, because that's exactly how I'd have played him

>>150648515
As a humble man, this would be a bit much for my sensibilities
Maybe just rename the Ladies Pavilion at New Road after me instead
(While ensuring that the ladies continue to toil in said pavilion, baking their lovely cakes for members to enjoy)

Your Sonny Bakers, your Simon Kerrigans, your Kabir Alis

Thought that was the Australia breakdancing girl for a moment

South Africa need a few more specialist fieldsmen in the team

The South African tarqs in my team got into the habit of calling me "Jonty", which was a nice compliment

That was rhyming slang anon. Jonty Rhodes - Chodes

wtf I knew those tarq cunts were secretly mocking me

You know very well that every upper class Sith Ifrican would bring back apartheid tomorrow if they thought they could get away with it

>>150648788
>>that was rhyming slang
>1 result

>>150648826
and?

carse is a bit of an odd surname, isn't it?

jacob twinkle is prob the 3rd best batspersons

Bethell is shite, just an old school slogsman who will get completely found out in Test cricket (with a an occasional 87 (54) against Sri Lanka to keep getting him selected)

settle bethell

business idea: play an XI comprising of Ian 'Bish' Bishop and Shoaib 'Bash' Bashir in partnership with Corbin Bosch

South Africans aren't clever enough for rhyming slang

Not a fan of the racism ‘mick. No room for that in /cric/

as long as it wasn't mixed double mate
obv don't expect the men of /cric/ to be that unathletic and effeminate but you never know

>rainbow nation
bunch of faggots

Oh my god I can’t believe he actually said it lol!!!! Mums going totally freak out!!!

might watch the tennis later
bit of a boring sport though

>>150649912
womens is fine
this isn't acceptable

which saffer hurt you direishbro?

tennis isn't that boring desu. also cricket's sister sport due to the biomechanical similarities between fast bowling and serving

K E S H U

cricket's sister sport is croquet for obvious reasons and it's obviously not tennis that's just silly

>>150650036
it's football
football during the winter
cricket during the summer

>>150649939
Thinking big two. Also thought Roddick had won more

kek, innovative stuff

mental midgets done it again innit

australian rules football was literally designed to be played in the cricket off season

harry forgot his thinking cap

>>150650097
correct
t. afl expert

>>150650059
True if by football you meant rugby (preferably league). Soccer is a ponce sport for gronks, I like it but it's almost the antithesis of cricket

>>150650097
yeah, by one '''''nation''''' lol

>>150650134
png play

football is the purest sport

Think you may have meant one state

kale,.onion, spinach, Swiss Chard, potato mixed bhajji in 5 fellas
x

>>150650168
it's far bigger than rugby league
I'm not victorian

If you were going to start a tier list of "Is it a sport?", football would be S+

that's 3 kinds of green, I approve

football is boring
No nuance
about as deep as it gets is how actively to close down players
proper thick persons sport

if there were no fast bowlers cricket would barely be a sport. probably about golf tier, just above snooker 2bh

tabla.x

Brook is a genuine mong

>>150650198
You're delusional. I will not discuss this with you because I like you and don't want to make you sad today

snooker is way better than g*lf

were on track for 450
lost the story now

>>150650232
I'm sure you know more about Australia than I do lmao

Not liking golf is like not liking vegetables, one day you'll become an adult

actually golf is more fun to play and requires far more skill and athleticism
imagine calling a pub game a sport lmao

>gilf
ummm...

golf is literally the least fun thing on earth

if zachy can be redpilled on London being elite - as he was after meeting Japanese Tarzan last week - he'll eventually become redpilled on golf
probably never even tried it

We'll put an ipad in the cart for you, lil fella

>watching a dead rubber pyjama
unironically insane

I don't believe you actually hate golf and I'm with him >>150650306
It's like saying you don't like carrots when you're 7 just for no reason just didn't feel like food should be orange today or whatever

>>150650391
dad used to drag me around golf courses occasionally and I never had a good time. Just felt like such a chore

>>150650361
no it's lots of fun. banter with the lads when walking innit
also very difficult sport so you never quite 'solve' it the same way you can with others

It's only understandable if you have some kind of beta-c intolerance and they taste weird for you and that's fine don't eat them

golf has to be played to be understood

conversely snooker has been solved so many times they had to invent meme trick shots and mini-games to keep people interested and it's only the 8 surviving boomers who still care about it

not a sport at all
it's hitting a ball with a stick then walking a bit.A solo activity you do in a group, no actual engagement or contest really

we're not talking about bard's club cricket career

yeah well that's the thing with snooker being solved the challenge is not knowing what to do but being able to do it both mentally and technically

>>150650499
not true
a good golf course is carefully designed to present easy and risky options to players. a player safely in front may take the easy option, but a player behind may take risks to catch up etc

>>150650427
sounds like you were just carrying his clubs about (for free I bet, kek based dad) and that's why you seethe about it as an adult. reckon if you'd play it now you'd catch the bug

i just don't really believe you I am afraid

last post was to the Aussie

>>150650648
doubt it deano

some deanos are actually alright people you know

there was a poll in a certain social group I am in to decide which outdoor cinema film to watch, and 10 things I hate about you won annoyingly (no prizes for guessing which gender was primarily responsible)
I just don't know if I can do that, watching 10 things I hate about you once is arguably more than once

there was a poll in a certain social group I am in to decide which outdoor cinema film to watch, and 10 things I hate about you won annoyingly (no prizes for guessing which gender was primarily responsible)
I just don't know if I can do that, watching 10 things I hate about you once (which I have) is arguably more than enough

>>150650740
so true

that emergency alert hardly lived up the hype

neek detector (presumably) just buzzed when scrolling through /cric/

Any Deanos in?

Not upper-class enough to know (more of a humble lower-middle-class sort of guy) but I imagine the sort of girl you get at tennis clubs is the nice sort of posh totty you might otherwise observe at Exeter University or Clapham High Street

So I fully respect Zachary's decision to only participate in mixed doubles matches now (even though the standard becomes a bit dire when women get involved)

That said, can't imagine it's very fun to be in a relationship with one of these bints, imagine that's the sort of woman who keeps you constantly obsessed with making lots of money to keep her in the lifestyle to which she is accustomed

love cricket
love golf
love squash

don't care for sex

I've never played mixed-doubles desu
Wouldn't rule it out, but it's a lot to commit to if you prefer singles anyway, and also play and men's doubles

>>150651442
enlightened lad here

Rank the racquet sports in terms of tarqness

Reckon I could definitely become a golf appreciator if it were cheaper
Give me a membership for £500 and I'll go for 2-3 rounds per week during the summer and once per week during the winter, should be pretty easy to fit in as a flexi-time wfh chad
Imagine a round by oneself after toil on a summer evening is a nice way to de-stress

>>150651518
Tennis (still the reserve of the upper classes) -> Squash (very tarq adjacent) -> Badminton (only really played by Asians and retards (of all social classes) who want the thing they hit to move more slowly) -> Table tennis (similar to badminton, just Asians and autists) -> Pickleball / Padel (trends that will disappear soon, not very tarq-y to latch onto a trend)

>>150651677
Whoops, meant to (You) (You) >>150651504

>>150651504
tennis is the ultimate. basically polo tier taq in the ''''United States'''', here it's tarqy but not quite as tarqy

I would say squash is more tarqy than badminton. Padel and racketball are both so reddit I don't even care or have a formed opinion, both just exist to accommodate mounting obesity really

>>150651677
>>150651753
They say great minds think alike

bhajji turned out great btw fellas x

i meant pickleball not racquetball
as indicated I really just don't care

squash is more fun than any other

no it's not
it's slapping a ball against a wall like a mong. basically why I also hate padel
don't get to hit nice loopy topsin shots

challenge any squash hater itt to spend 10 minutes on the squash court and not enjoy themselves

try dismissing squash on the streets of cairo
you will not escape with your life

new a very nice young man who died on a squash court. Long before certain vax btw. Squash is like that very intensive

table tennis is the best game for amateurs out of the lot (excluding padel which is played in rest homes)

Knew a very nice young man who died on a squash court. Long before certain vax btw. Squash is like that very intensive

>>150652181
Pakistan used to be good at squash lol. Not sure what happened there. They used to have three sports- cricket, squash, hockey. Then they decided they only had the resources for cricket but still aren't very good at that for some reason

every country has that story where a squash ball is the the same size as an eye and some squash player (aka fag) got his eye popped out and the ball was in the orbit?

this is quite mad when you think about it
history and real life in general is nuts

Nothing "mad" nor even particularly interesting or noteworthy about it

china has historically always been on top of the world we are just coming to the end of a brief anomalous period where it was not

it's all AI mate
you think Putin looks like that? you think the powers that be are using the deeply cucked chatGPT over their own Chinese developed AGI?

nature is healing you could say

bought a mahirishi shopping bag for my brew York cans

Reckon england are favourites here

should have just turned your 300 quid ''''''coat''''' inside out if you needed a binbag you /fa/let neek lol

sensible amount of money to spend on a coat

Shame Archer doesn't play for the country he's actually from
Cricket needs a resurgent West Indies, and - though permacrocked - he'd still be their most dangerous bowler
Think you could rotate him well with Seales and Joseph in a pretty threatening bowling attack desu (thoughbeit lacking a spinner)

the maharishi raincoat proper makes ol neeky wings seethe. Probably has intrusive thoughts about it while watching the chase
doesn't realise its literally the perfect jacket for this highly changeable micro climate I inhabit

t. too poor to afford climate controlled central heating

that has little to do with what I just said

>the perfect jacket
>looks shit
>ridiculous price
it's not about cost as such just that it's not justifiable to spend it on that shite

fascinating how much interest there is for 3I/ATLAS

post your idea of a raincoat that looks good, ol Max 6 pulls

Only a fool would write off South Africa from this position

nah not falling for that because you'll say it's shit regardless
anyone who isn't terminally on /fa/ and uses their own mind can see the maharishi bin bag cop was an utterly dire decision

bard's charles tyrwhitt overcoat absolutely mogs zachy's binbag

>>150652928
go on..I may have something to say later...

maharishi raincoat and bards neeky marks and Spencer's tier overcoat serve completely different purpose
doesn't really work as a comparison
I probably wouldn't meet my grandfather at cornus wearing a mahirishi raincoat

>>150652996
so true

>>150653076
no but steven rain iykwim haha

>>150652979
it was an 'entirely dire decision'
such strong words about a jacket for changeable weather
bit of an uncanny Umberto you. Do you need a hug?

>max 6 pull ups
simply couldn't be me
did 7 the other day just to prove the point. probably had another 7 in the tank as well

I can do 25

>turn game on
>notice the score

>fourth wicket goes down
Did the saffas phone in sick or something?

Me? 26

i've been and it's more interesting than colombia or some SEA shit

>>150653522
How's the cuisine? Not convinced it's better than a massaman curry desu

being in Colombia is definitely as close to a higher meaning as one can find on Earth
what could well happen is this life will just end. And it will be like a light bulb switching on and off. And there won't even be anything to remember. Although, nothingness is undeniably, evidently unstable

If it were me facing Joffrey Archer I would simply take a few muscular strides down the track to him and dispatch the ball right back over his head

It's not difficult

>>150653597
viet food is absolutely dire
thai food great
Chinese-indonesian food really good also
Malaysian food alright I guess but not as good as some of the aforementioned

>>150653620
dude weed lmao tier insight

i am not sure death exists desu
crunched the numbers and it doesn't seem likely

>>150653661
I quite liked Viet food desu, although agree that Thai food is better
Banh Mi a nice pseudo-Western alternative to constant noodle or rice dishes
Pho, Banh Xeo, Bun Cha, all pretty nice choices too

It's been tough on you, comrades.
It's not been tough, chairman.

This could actually be the biggest ever ODI victory, which I guess would be marginally interesting

South Africa have already won the series
Cant think of a more meaningless match than that
Genuinely need the padded van treatment if you are watching

that Cameron winter- nausicaa song actually so good
almost restores hope in the future

this is a simulation I think

>>150656743
Deja Vu is when another version of you, in another dimension, is dreaming what you're doing. It's when your two consciousnesses overlap that you get that brief feeling. You ever dream and it feels so real? You're experiencing another you in another reality and they experience deja vu.

Had a massive feed of takeaway curry and can’t exactly move right now. I keep telling the missus you should have rice or naan not both and chips but she gets mad about it and says I need to eat more. This is why there’s so many fatties over here. Anyway it was pretty good and there’s leftovers

Lamb rogan josh, chickpeas and spinach, garlic naan, pilau rice, some very sour lime mango chilli pickles, and some apple fig chutney (from the fridge). She wanted pappadums too but I put my foot down

Got the shits

speaking of insane spin

>>150679784
why is baz in there?
is it an XI of good players of spin?

5 matches (bo3) yesterday, could've been 6 but received a bye from smashing the group. Final went to 3. Rollocking start to take the 1st but my partner got jittery in the 2nd. Reassured her and pulled away in the 3rd for all the marbles. Received a nice set of goodies too. Feet in absolute shambles but the sporting mind was satiated.

>Jeet Patel
Not convinced that's a real name

>>150679857
we aren't exactly known for our spin bowling pedigree
baz has thrown down a few half decent leggies in the nets over the years and that's been enough to put him inside our top 11 all time spin bowlers

>>150679784
>Ross Taylor
Doesn't even play for NZ

the convicted felon chris cairns

>>150679890
reckon that had to be made by an indian then because they have tried to erase history by ignoring Ajaz Patel who decimated their unwiped asses

Jeet means victory. Just as India that is Bharat lifted the T20 Cricket World Cup in the Caribbean and just as I lifted the XD trophy yesterday

Love /brit/ seethe makes living here amusing will be having a little chuckle to myself

I'm going to have to stick up for the kiwis here. The Ranfurly is really good it gives a lot of teams a special occasion match and I like the idea of linear champions and challenge games and stuff

Winning the t20 wc is about as impressive as gold medal in rugby 7's

Haven't you got to get back to your job as a gay porn fluffer sucking paki cock?

Having picked up some pyjama wickets in a dead rubber with the help of massive scoreboard pressure, we need to ask the question: could Jofra Archer be key to the ashes?

Having scored a pyjama hundred in a dead rubber after having done fuck-all the rest of the entire season, we need to ask the question: could Jacob Bethell win the Ashes single handedly for England?

Currently watching cricket while picking up a wage from the taxpayer

Notts have all four former Pearsmen in the side against us today

Umpire in the Essex game is a blind cunt

I’ve seen enough: Joe Root will score a number of runs down under. Put your house on it. This latest hundred has convinced me

Reckon I need to find a cushy job that I can coast in for 10 years while not picking up any new skills thus putting me in a future predicament where I haven't upskilled and struggle to find a comparable salary

So tell me about your career goals anon, it sounds really interesting.

Damn keeps happening, went to get a cup of tea and missed Gay getting GONE. Soft dismissal really caught easily at mid-wicket

You didn't miss Gay getting gone then, he'd just popped to the kitchen haha

keKkkkk

first man in /cric/ to listen to Can - Live in Paris 1973

>>150681489
I actually listened to it back in 1973, although you probably won't believe me

>>150681586
t. james murphy

that joke was just for the musicheads out there
don't feel upset you didn't get it britjeet

sweaty, u aren't the only criccy to liek krautrock..o me dayzz

it is quite good though
more of a free improv than anything structured but that was how all good can songs were at the time

doesn't hold a candle to the big 3 but an enjoyable listen. better than delay at the very least

tommy fleetwood started playing golf left handed on youtube and then won an event finally
reckon bard should try batting lefty for a while, might unlock something in his brain

michael hussey did that

and david hussey didn't
proof is in the pudding

Between Nothingness and Eternity: now there’s a great live album recorded in 1973

can rendered jazz meaningless with the release of tago mago sorry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dZbAFmnRVA
imagine telling someone you liked jazz in an era where this was being released. or even today. seems like music is still playing catch up to can

Can never had the rhythm section to pull off what they were aiming at. Could have been different with a Lenny White or a Billy Cobham on the stool

>that's an expensive piano
consider yourself ignored lmao

kek he really did say that

>Can never had the rhythm section
stupid stupid post
can are famous for the drumming

you can immediately tell britjeet hasn't listened to a single can song with that post alone

>can’t tell bass from a piano
>still in his mojo magazine krautrock phase
Not a good day for the lad

>>150681812
kek imagine ever giving a take on music ever again after this and expecting anyone will care

Not listened to many drummers I reckon

like songs with melodies and riffs.

the decline of the sax solo and the decline of society are demonstrably correlated

As a community, /cric/ have always been great admirers of Wayne Shorter. I’ve said this many times

Mad how I started posting about Can because I was sick of the Pavement gimmick and now some of you are actually listening to Can. I could make you do anything.

Bard, I’d like to have an ashes series bet with you. My proposal is if Australia wins 5 nil you give us an acoustic rendition of Land Downunder and if England merely wins the series I’ll sing God Save The King or Jerusalem or Land Of Our Fathers or whatever else you prefer so long as it’s parochial. What do you think? Perfectly fine if you don’t want to bet or want to negotiate the terms of the wager.

Also this I don’t know if you know it but it reminded me of you and I thought of the bet because of this song

Mad how I started posting about Musique concrète concret because I was sick of the basinski gimmick and now some of you are actually listening to Musique concrète. I could make you do anything.

speaking of monging out, you were probably smoking hemp when you dropped a month's bedsit rent on that bin liner cacket as well lmao

Build a vinegar trap for them, plastic drink bottle cut across the middle then place the top half upside down sitting in the bottom half and put a half inch of vinegar into the bottom of the bottom half (apple cider vinegar works best on the ones here). They'll die off soon as it gets cold, make sure you've no rotten fruit or veg hidden somewhere, that happens sometimes you forget the bananas or some idiot puts something on top of the new potatoes and they aren't stored correctly

Feet still in shambles from my victorious XD exertions, the competitive training begins this week

Thats not really up for you to decide

william or thomas pynchon fella?

intelligent enough to understand both
and dare I even say the CMcC

>>150699673
It's true that Joyce is the ultimate pseud filter, but not in the way you think

A true intellectual reads Ulysses and calls it out for the incomprehensible shite that it is

A pseud will spent literally years reading it, completely failing to understand it (due to it being incomprehensible shite), but feel pressured to pretend that it's some great work of art because otherwise they'd be forced to admit to themselves and others that the years they spent reading it were a complete waste of time

Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian" cannot be considered in any way shape or form to be "mainstream" literature (a designation which should be reserved for the likes of John Grisham or Colleen Hoover)

That he is well known amongst the literati does not make him mainstream

If I went to my relatively educated peers at the University of Exeter and said to them "Say, what do you think about Cormac McCarthy?", I'd wager that 90% of them will grunt oikishly and respond "Who?" (most people read 2-3 books per year, maximum)

reckon Synecdoche New York is the Ulysses of film

ITT we thank the generosity of Indian cricket investors for saving englund county cricket from the corruption and poor administration of englunders

Thank you India

>>150700176
Synecdoche, New York (2008) is a work of unparalleled genius
Ulysses (1922) is incomprehensible gobbledegook that it's not worth wasting your time over

Compare that nonsense to the raw genius of Synecdoche, New York (2008), which is at the same time comprehensible and compelling whilst also being deeply complex and provocative

looking good, only just over a hundred less than Durham with 7 wickets spare.

>>150701139
t. low iq coomer hedonist

Finnegan’s Wake should be put into a film. It can be explained but you’re like to be called a pseud on such attempt ‘‘tis a filter. He’s talking about the Liffey River being old and how the waters flow out north round to Finglas and I suspect he was drinking absinthe at the time of writing, it’s rather impressive

>Ex-Nepal PM wife Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar dies after Gen Z protesters set their house on fire
these mountain niggas can't get a VPN?

How the Normans did invade from there on invitation and as enemies of love and he compares them to old Dev (in ambiguous terms so he doesn’t get disappeared for his troubles)

>ask about which county match to watch
>no reply
>REEEE WHY THE OFF TOPIC POSTING

remember when that guy from nepal invaded the pitch during the CWC with a pepe shirt? only time /cric/ got famous and it's been memoryholed

qatari cricket in shambles

Nepal must be cleansed off commie shits and Hindu Rashtra reinstated

Joyce said of Finnegan's Wake
>You are not Irish', he said, ' and the meaning of some passages will perhaps escape you. But you are Catholic, so you will recognize this or that allusion. You don't play cricket; this word may mean nothing to you.
so if you don't understand it it is a symptom of not understanding cricket

sad!

bard is an irish catholic cricket fan so is LITERALLY the target audience and still got filtered lol

>You are not Irish, he said

Ireland pulled one back

I think cricket was better when the fast bowlers wouldn't bounce each other and I don't know what happened exactly but obviously somebody started doing it then everyone else started doing it too and now cricket itself is more dangerous than it was before and I don't see how there was any actual strategic benefit in that strategy

Probably a load of nonsense

>>150705563
>Bloom has apparently been a fan of cricket throughout his adult life. >In Penelope Molly recalls him in the days of their courtship "standing at the corner of the Harolds cross road with a new raincoat on him with the muffler in the Zingari colours."
>Citing Patrick Hone's Cricket in Ireland (1956), Slote observes that the Zingari were "an amateur cricket club with no home pitch, and thus a 'nomadic' club" (Zingari is Italian for gypsies).
>The colors worn on their club caps were "green, purple and pink with alternating yellow stripes."

>>150705970
They're a real amateur cricket club, apparently
Would be quite cool to be a member of a nomadic amateur cricket club
Quite difficult for somebody who doesn't own a car though, admittedly

>>150706545

Hearing the difference now isn't the reason to encode to FLAC. FLAC uses lossless compression, while MP3 is "lossy". What this means is that for each year the MP3 sits on your hard drive, it will lose roughly 12kbps, assuming you have SATA about 15kbps on IDE, but only 7kbps on SCSI, due to rotational velocidensity. You don't want to know how much worse it is on CD-ROM or other optical media.

I started collecting MP3s in about 2001, and if I try to play any of the tracks I downloaded back then, even the stuff I grabbed at 320kbps, they just sound like crap. The bass is terrible, the midrange is well don't get me started. Some of those albums have degraded down to 32 or even 16kbps. FLAC rips from the same period still sound great, even if they weren't stored correctly, in a cool, dry place. Seriously, stick to FLAC, you may not be able to hear the difference now, but in a year or two, you'll be glad you did.

I've been in 3 car crashes
All 3 of them were caused by people hitting my stationary vehicle
