Anyone into the cricket?

alistair

14 wins out of 19 for Stokes. Some record already

rhouses

You guys have gone pretty easy on me lol, I’m still sick to my stomach thinking about pope and Hartley. Properly ruined my Hyderabad memories (the food was insanely good at least).

Along_the_Wire

rhouses I can’t take sports-based piss-taking very well, so I tend not to give it out. Apart from Liverpool, Man Utd and City. And Spurs.

rhouses

You lot probably won’t have anything to do with it, I choked up a little watching the Mitch marsh acceptance speech for the Alan Border medal. Wish we had more players like that, makes you wonder about the soft af, social media manufactured, money obsessed, shit heads playing for India.

Smallman1

You forgot Arsenal.

Absolute clowns.

Along_the_Wire

Smallman1 Don’t mind Arsenal, got a lot of mates who are fans. Flares did his very best to derail that situation.

Smallman1

Bashir in for tomorrow.

Shoaib that is, not Martin.

Along_the_Wire

@rhouses - crowds awful again, is this the beginning of the end for test cricket in India?

rhouses

Along_the_Wire Slaving at work haven’t watched much. Besides the fact people actually work on Fridays here, all the Tests are in the boonies. Hyd’s the biggest city in this series and that’s not saying much. Have no idea why they didn’t go with the metros. Even the overlord’s stadium in Ahmedabad isn’t getting a match.

baggers44

rhouses i assume its to financially reward the smaller venues as part of some opaque deal.

rhouses

baggers44 maybe a PR play for the BJP, under the guise of the BCCI, if I’m being cynical. There was a full on Congress (opposition) campaign or some shit in Hyderabad during the match, the BJP home minister’s son is the BCCI secretary (google him looks like a gnome, jay shah), he was on every single poster promoting the match with Jay Bhai under his pic lol. Translates Brother Jay. The school kids going in for free also, that could have easily been a play for votes.

Along_the_Wire

I think it’s because India don’t give a fuck about test cricket

alistair

Crawley showing positive intent. Fun watch. Done well to reduce India to 396

Along_the_Wire

The commonly spotted Calypso Collapso has made a big appearance

rhouses

That bumrah pope wicket made me feel slightly better.

Along_the_Wire

Shame about losing that wicket, but the great thing about this England side is that you can’t rule out an England comeback here

rhouses

Along_the_Wire needed 450 to feel safe. Game on.

alistair

He’s flawed but I can’t help but like Crawley. Great panoply of shots and full of self confidence

Smallman1

Have just seen the highlights.

Can’t believe we’re still able to see Jimmy doing the business, absolutely incredible.

alistair

rhouses not with Bumrah. Game has gone.

Along_the_Wire

alistair there’s a chance that this team could actually win this. I’d much prefer wins to be standard regulation stuff, but there you go. Didn’t give them a chance in the first test and look what happened?
