>>77501994
I could believe it.
>>77501984
No some richcunt is bragging about how many times he's gone to watch cricket abroad
reckon root is getting out soon
commentary was the glory days because it was before anyone could see how shit this sport is
don't agree with this anti cricket narrative

You don't eat as much as you think or you're pretty tall.
>>77502522
i'm quite a happy dude really, get sad when im hangover but thats about it. anyone posting on 4chan cricket general is prety lucky lets be honest
>>77502545
I'm about 5'11''. I don't eat that much, but what I do it is bad for me. Fast food several times a week, fizzy drink every day, etc.
>>77502448
well your second one is already wrong, you better start crossing your fingers if you don't want to have egg on your face
>>77502646
bit of disruption in the brainwaves but the underlying intent of predicting a flop was met
>>77502448
Shall not be trusting you in the future after that abysmal prediction
reckon i will have test cricket completely mentally digitalized by circa 2032
have faith
>>77502608
You can eat crap and not gain weight as long as you're not going over your daily required calories intake. At 5'11 and I'm guessing late teens early 20s you will burn a lot of calories even just sitting around.
You are probably unhealthy though and should get some exercise. It will even improve your mood.
>>77502711
I turned 30 in March. I agree that I should exercise or at least do something, though.
>>77502754
alright grandad haha
if 4 wickets don't fall for 50 runs I shan't watch any further
Hope Root will declare now
gold star for robot boy
lads, i'm literally seething, why won't root declare?
Bairstow please score runs
Really shows the disdain Root has for his bowlers when he runs up totals like this
friendly reminder if you've watched a single ball of this innings you are officially a brainlet and need to leave forever

Positive displacement is the first stage of Kindleberger’s model. It refers to some kind of event that creates a sanguine expectation of greater certainty in greater profits for agents in the market as opposed to the normal, pessimistic outlook. These induce entrepreneurs to take a new position in their market that reflects their new outlook, causing them to issue out more debt and equitable financial interests to finance the position. As funding relies on a finite source of money, they may turn to near money (a tradable future cash flow).
Examples of events that created a positive displacement include:
• New inventions being adapted for commercial purposes such as locomotives in the 30s and 40s, automobiles in the early 20th century and info tech in the 80s and 90s;
• Managerial revolutions;
• New products or a change in taste as seen with tulips in the 1610s and property in the 2000s; or
• Opening up of natural resources such as pastoral land in the 1880s and Western Australian nickel deposits in the 70s.
reckon a full strength essex would stomp a full strength nsw at home
Honestly think the Barbados Tridents are the strongest cricket team in the world right now
essex literally have the best bowling attack in the world with amir+harmer
shall be going to bed and dream of a cricket career I will never have
absolute tragedy that we wont see greviousbodilyharmer play test cricket again

But just like when jayasuria left, losing Sanga and jayawdana is gonna hurt for a while

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was handed a one-match suspension after he was found guilty of breaching article 2.2.8 of the player's code of conduct which deals with "throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match".
Jadeja picked up three demerit points for his latest transgression, taking his total tally to six in a 24-month period, thereby resulting in the suspension. He was also fined 50% of his match-fee.
The incident at SSC Colombo occurred when the left-arm spinner fielded off his own bowling in the 58th over of the innings on the third day and hurled the ball back at batsman Dimuth Karunaratne 'in a dangerous manner.'

not sure I believe some of these ultraedges
garbage decision update the drivers
Why do they not use hotspot any more?
>>77517740
I think there's only so many cameras available for use
You'd think England would have them though
>>77517751
Used to use it every Test here, haven't seen it for a while now though
>>77517731
>this amount of self-loathing
therapists are a meme but you should probably explore your head bro
>>77517765
definitely saw it here in the Pakistan and South African series, but I don't remember it in the Indian tour and any game thereafter
Swear Gower and Bumble are going to come to blows before this day is over
>>77517740
It's because it could be set up quickly and the ultraedge of old (snicko) took ages
Now with ultraedge they can set it up in seconds so they use that instead
>>77517773
yeah but that has problems when the bat hits shit that isn't the ball just as it passes the bat
hotspot is literally flawless beyond the time it takes
>>77517776
hotspot was too sensitive a lot of the time too
>>77517808
can you name any times when hotspot gave the wrong decision?
>>77517815
can,t name an exact one but an issue would be that faint edges would get hidden by the side stickers on the bat
Anyone watching this South Africa feature?
>>77517850
yeah
most of them are against the quota system surprisingly
>>77517859
http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/95715/south-africa-cricket-team-batsman-temba-bavumas-23-year-fight-to-play-test-cricket-for-south-africa
good read re: impact of quotas on blacks themselves
>>77517859
Proves that forced quotas don't work. Whites don't like it because they feel they're kept out; blacks don't like it because they feel unworthy of their place.
State can intervene all they want but if the black people dont WANT to play cricket, nothing will change. Give them the opportunities to play at school and establish local clubs and if they don't bother, that's all you can do.
>Jadeja is no 1 test bowler right now
>>77517912
fucking joke
>>77517912
would get heemed anywhere outside the subco
>>77517926
they don't even bother bringing him overseas anymore kek
>>77517916
>>77517926
They should implement a system which gives you more points if you play good in away matches desu
>>77517932
reckon that would just stack it in favour of spinners
>>77517909
Same here, although the black players in the side atm seem to have justified their place. Bavuma seemed like a sure quota man at the start of this series but now I can see why they picked him, he's got great tenacity.
Let's hope they don't make anymore silly decisons like picking phangiso in '15 though
>>77517945
bit worried about the future once Amla goes
there is literally no good asian or black batsmen to slot in there from what I can see
>>77517960
>behardien in the test team
would be tragic desu
>>77517970
they'd unironically do better pinching one of the masakadzas
really is quite sad when you realise that the Zimbabwean batsmen who literally starve themselves to be able to make ends meet as a cricketer are better than the black batsmen in South Africa
hate the mcg
love lords
*farts*
every fuckin time you cunts come over here i tell myself "get good seats for the boxing day test nice and early" and i forget every single fuckin time and guess what they are sold out again and guess who didn't buy tickets

love watching elite players do well
>>77518250
especially when it's amla
don't think there's a single cricket fan that doesn't like him
>>77518245
There's been much worse

Cannot wait for the Ashes
Even if the games are shit, /cric/ is always at its best

can someone post the heave ho hunna meme, I have no idea what it means t bh but I always get a good laugh out of it
Test cricket is easy; outfields so quick and so many men in the slips that all you have to do is make semi-decent connection and it runs away
>>77518282
yeah reckon I could average 60+ if I'm honest
sure would be nice to have gary ballance's prodigious leg spin right now...
>>77518275
over on /afl/
freo is a port city so the team is the fremantle dockers, hence the heave ho shit
unna is something abos say for no discernible reason
the image shows an abo supporting freo
>>77518274
absolutely based
tell me about cricket in ethiopia, got any firey pacers in the works?
>>77518245
don't hate it
alex hales in the runs again
just saying
Which is the single Test team most countries look forward to facing the most?
can someone tell me about Nick Compton's gutsy 120 v Essex at Chelmsford?
>>77518303
Drop Malan and throw Hales in at five.
Find a flaw
>>77518296
There's some rugby here. The British embassy has a club. No cric though
>>77518323
how do we fix cricket in Ethiopia
really need more african gods in cricket
>>77518310

I forgot Carberry
>>77518331
hard to imagine what the batsmen would have been thinking playing that side
if le wayward bowling bitchwide johnmeme could force an early retirement for half the english side and cause multiple mental illnesses from a single series you've really got to wonder what went on with batsmen back then

that footage of brian close facing michael holding without a helmet and barely avoiding a ball in the temple by an inch makes me wince
How overrated is Faf?
>>77518253
I was at headingley for the first ODI and his first cover drive for four got the biggest OOOH from the crowd, he is very aesthetically pleasing
who was the wicket keeper who ducked a yorker and barely played for England afterwards?
HEAVE HO UNNA
>>77518352
not at all since no one rates him
hate /cric/
love r/cricket
>>77518341
yeah men were really seperated from the boys in the black thunder era
based gavaskar was one of the only ones who could hack it against roberts, holding, croft, garner and marshall
>>77518361
chris read
>>77518341
english lads where accustomed to it though as most of the west indians played league cricket over here so most batters would have faced at least 1-2 firey pacers in their youth
>>77518350
>Ponting v Roach
>Hayward v Waugh
>Lee v Chanderpaul
>The Killer v Hughes
Shan't ever play serious cricket lads
>>77518369
Viv versus Lillee and Thomson too. Never wore a helmet and never got flustered
Best I've seen Broad bowl since >60
>>77518372
The bloke who gave me a tour around Lords used to play for Essex back then and has 3 cm scar just above his eye from where he was hit by some no name West Indian
>>77518386
his 5-1 against SA?
>fiery pacer
is this some sort of homosexual slang
facing fast bowling honestly terrifies me and I will unironically throw my wicket away if I have to face a genuine paceman in club games
>>77518407
Fanny.
Whack a helmet on and then use the pace for all your shots. Makes batting easier if anything.

love hashim
>>77518407
the club I play for have a young west indian descent lad who bowls in the mid 70mphs as a 15 year old, he was playing for the 2nds and the bottom 4 batters generally refuse to play a shot to him, he just yorks them and they walk off he's gotten 5 hat tricks this year from it

Jesus this day got boring fast
cricket in japan lads
how do we achieve it
>>77518613
Make a good cricket anime.
>>77518622
this
hate the border gavaskar
hate the frank worrell
hate the warne muralitharan
hate the trans tasman
love the ashes
I don't think Root realises that if we don't bowl them out we could end up losing
C-can I get into cricket lads if I wasn't a Brit colony?
Doesn't matter
The saffers are only half way there
>>77518718
I'll permit it lad
has vaseline on the edge ruined Amla's day?
the penis will win it
love silly point
hate extra slip
>>77518718
you gotta just throw the bouncer like 20 bills to get in though t bh
South African victory still on the cards
Tipping a century from de Kock
Tipping de Kock for a big, big, big hundred
tipping de Kock to make triple figures
If these 2 can get 200 runs I can definitely see SA winning this match
hundred? I think so
Based de kock will BTFO these bongs
love boers

Quinton de cuck
>Moeen
lmoa
Still think Saffers will win in spite of that set back
>>77518833
definitely on the cards
Ali is such a legend
while dooplessi is still in, SA remain firm favourites
6 wickets down is the most dangerous place to be for a bowling side
if anything, taking those 3 wickets in quick succession actually makes it harder for england
>>77518888
poor captaincy from Root
this all comes back to England's decision to win the toss and bat first, baffling decision that has set them up to lose
Even if we win this series we could still be done in for doping so I wouldn't get the champagne out too early
