Cricket

axar patel not a mystery spinner, just an accurate orthodox on raging bunsens

Watching a Big Bash League game on the telly, Sydney Thunder are 9/14. In the top ten of bizarre cricket matches that I've ever watched.

ALL OUT FOR 15

lol

everything nicked, everything caught. a great day to be a south australian in sydney amirite

great day to be a casual sydney sixers fan!!

triple threat!!!

even worse than Turkey

Flick on the Big Bash for the first time this season and it is 8/10. Turkey, the Thunder are coming for you. #BBL pic.twitter.com/8yiu1pvvmO

oh well after the Test series, they Sydney Thunder get a top-line batsman joining them in David Warn--

Sixers have two Afghan kids in the side, and they both seem to have bowled pretty well today!

As for South Africa, p funny to show up to Australia with a genuinely awesome bowling lineup and no batsmen

Afghan spin bowlers are the new West Indies power hitters of the T20 franchise circuit

It wasn't like Australia were batting much better except for TRAVBALL

if u like bowling, this is probably the test match to watch imo

apart from all the byes of course

lmao S2 of 'The Test' is going to be amazing with the decline and fall of J. Langer Esq.: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/jan/10/a-kick-in-the-face-david-warner-bemoans-justin-langer-contract-saga

speaking of lmao: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jan/10/legends-scott-morrison-used-whatsapp-group-to-cheer-on-pat-cummins-and-justin-langer

the indelible image of JL "riding every ball" is now seared into my brain

Unfortunately, the Afghanistan women's team could not be reached for comment.

Cricket! The only hope for the country.

Wisden Online posting a'BUT the Afghanistan mens players are not bad guys!!' take makes me think that we've really not evolved much since South African rebel tours.

Steven Peter Devereux Smith is only the fifth most disgraced ex-Australian captain now.

Michael Clarke and Today Show host Karl Stefanovic have squared off in a wild fracas in a public park, in which Clarke was slapped across the face by his girlfriend and accused of cheating. Watch: https://t.co/gHWzqXoUeX #TheAdvertiser pic.twitter.com/D7ew4anPq8

And to think that's when M. Clarke was 'classy'.

Cumdog would never

Ponting isn't disgraced at all is he? Gonna check reviews of his wines

quite complimentary. the man can hold his head up

lol bazball

how's the India tour going pal

Great half-century from Peter Handscomb in Delhi.

inarguable

the Bazballers have become the Bazballees

gotta say, even if pato's lot are the beneficiaries, seeing india's anti-cricket pitch preparation tactics backfire this hilariously is very gratifying

Matthew Kuhnemann, your time is now!

Kuhnemannia is real

turning into a bit of a thriller this

Well if the Windies didn't lose two wickets at the start, then sure

anyway replay that Steven Peter Devereux Smith catch please

a pair for Temba, he doesn't seem to have much luck does he

well australia can't fail to chase this

very funny

Well if the Windies didn't lose two wickets at the start, then sure

you thought they'd get within 100 of that target?

travball travball travball

west indies DID get within 100. clean sweep for pato this week

xp his head is where it needs to be... scoring runs

Incredible end to NZ/Sri Lanka.

Was very happy about Justin Langer no longer coaching until he became an Official ICC Event Television Commentator.

he's fuckin unbearable eh

IF I HAD A SON A STRONG BRAVE AUSTRALIAN SON I'D TEACH THEM MARTIAL ARTS ofc I had 4 girls and that's different ofc everyone knows girls can't learn martial arts BUT I'VE BEEN BLESSED A HUNDRED TIMES OVER TO HAVE FOUR GIRLS I didn't keep trying to have a son oh no gosh no

I went to Day 2 btw, nice day's cricket it was too, Aussies didn't need to put any more foot on the throat so they contented themselves with maintaining a thoroughly winning position. There was a fantastic moment with Boland at the end being chucked about 30 garments to sign and getting through about, ooh, 12 of them?

Mexican waves need to be punishable with maiming tho

I hope you enjoyed your day out, courtesy of ICC Global Partner Aramco.

Scotty Boland continues to be the best Top Bloke for a very long time.

He'll sit out the whole Ashes if he has to! (I'd pick him instead of Starc tbh)

and so it hath proven
