Smorgasbord posted:NZ expected to get the 2019 Boxing Day Test at the MCG, first time since the 80's when Morrison was robbed of the winning LBW on McDermott by a cheating Aussie umpire. This sort of disrespect for the umpires is not on. I would expect better from a Kiwi, as you guys are apparently the nice guys of world cricket. No Australian would call an umpire a cheat.  Maybe you guys could learn something from us?

Fantastic delivery though, would've only knocked two stumps out of the ground so clearly not out was the correct call.

Seams posted:its an india tour so every Test is going to be played on a road, just like last time. Yeah, but who in the Aus. team is there that can take advantage of said roads? SMarsh? Khawaja? A returning Renshaw? I know it's not the hottest of takes, but India must be salivating about teh prospect of finally beating Australia in Australia. Which will make it all the funnier when they gently caress it up somehow.

Looking forward to the return of the typical boring Adelaide test Virat Kohli is a fraud, and crowds are gonna be down because there'll be no after-work attendees on Thursday and Friday and get hosed if they think I'm getting up as early as it takes to get in Saturday and Sunday, and I'm a member. But mostly, Kohli is a massive fraud.

I mean the ECB also made the sound decision to rest Stokes for a T20 in Durham without warning the club, so he was plastered all over the marketing and a lot of people got pissed off. Of course, then he managed to get himself rested from international cricket for months shortly after so good job all round

quote:Australia have called off hosting Bangladesh later this year for financial reasons, arguing that it no longer makes sense to play top-end matches, usually played in north Queensland and the Northern Territory, out of season because they get "swamped" by the major football codes. At least there's honesty about the reason..

So it's not financially viable for Australia. Fair enough. But what about the money that Bangladesh Cricket were going to get from the tour? Money that they need a lot more than Cricket Australia. What of the Bangladeshi broadcasters and their lost income? This is saying nothing of denying the Bangladesh players, (who beat Australia last time they played), exposure and experience on the world stage. gently caress the arrogance of 'the big 3'. The Bangladeshis should be paid compensation money for the cancelling of the tour. BrigadierSensible fucked around with this message at 02:01 on May 10, 2018 |

Don't drag England into it with the BIG 3 poo poo. If Bangladesh were scheduled to play here then they would have. One of the few beneficial things about Sky owning cricket in this country is they pay for that sort of thing regardless. I must say it's actually loving amazing that Australia of all places are straight up cancelling cricket tours because they're not "commercially viable". Pack it up lads, don't bother with THE HUNDRED, clearly we're the only ones left.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/23461969/terms-culture-how-got-point-know "When I first became an Australian cricketer, if Allan Border had asked me to tamper with the ball I would have, because I would be too scared not too," Langer told Channel Nine. "The difference is that Allan Border would never have asked me, and Bobby Simpson (coach) would have killed me. He would have killed anyone who brought the game into disrepute.

So instead of the tests vs Bangladesh that Aus. cancelled, it looks like they are going to play T20s instead. At some later, yet to be confirmed, date.

Malahide had drainage issues in the past, I hope they're able to at least bowl one ball. Radar doesn't look promising though.

I'm checking in on the BBC's live scorecard every fifteen minutes or so, and Ireland are probably going to lose, but it's good that if a team comes over to tour England, they can also do a mini tour of Ireland as well edit: 163-6...

Something like that yeah, I mean from a logistics point of view it makes sense, while also allows Ireland to actually get used to test cricket. Now if the ECB could get over this hump of only playing seven tests per summer...

quote:Fox Sports have added another five superstar commentators to their cricket coverage for the upcoming summer, with Mark Waugh, Mel Jones, Mike Hussey, Isa Guha and Michael Vaughan signing on with the pay-television broadcaster. I like Mel Jones and Guha but I really don't think much of Fox's commentary lineup. I hope they end up with Warne just for the delightful Warne/Waugh combinaton though
