/cric/

Frankly my knowledge of test cricket is literally unparalleled

I have keenly followed every test series from ~2003 onwards, and can recite the score of every series even further back than that to about 1965 off-hand, thanks to online research since then.

Aside from being a statslord, I also have a mental montage of literally 10,000 test match dismissals: the bowler, the catcher, the path of the ball, everything

I am an admirer of the finer nuances of the game and have a deeper understanding of certain cricketing concepts than any of you can even conceive.

Honestly, there isn't a a single name of a cricketer you can throw at me that I won't have some kind of opinion of, I am even an enthusiastic follower of cricket beyond the test world and take nearly as much interest in a scorecard from ICC World Cricket League South America Region Division Two as I do from any test match

I would go as far as to call myself an eternal scholar of the game

Nice one I need to discuss the upcoming cricket

The decade of the 1890s marks the golden age of Philadelphian cricket. This was the period in which the most well-known players from the team made their marks. The first match of the decade for the Philadelphians that is classified as first-class was played against a team of English Residents. This fixture had been played annually from 1880 to 1883. This was the last time it was played, and the only time it featured a team specifically named as the Philadelphians, who won the game by six wickets.[11] In 1891 a team led by Lord Hawke visited from England, playing two matches. The Philadelphians won a high-scoring first match but the tourists won a low-scoring second match, Sammy Woods taking 15 wickets.[12]


John Lester maintained a batting average of 33.14 in his first-class career
1892 saw Ireland visit Philadelphia. The teams each won one match, with one game drawn.[13] This series was notable as it was the debut of Bart King, who would go on to a successful career bowling for the Philadelphians. The following year saw the first visit of Australia since the game in 1878. It visited on its way home from a tour of England. Australia fielded a strong side, but the team was tired after a long tour and trip. In spite of this fatigue, the Australians chose to face the full strength of the Gentlemen of Philadelphia. On a small ground at Elmwood, the September grass was coarse and rolled very fast. The Australian side, fielding first, dropped many balls and could not cope with the short boundary. They allowed the Philadelphians to run up a total of 525 runs. When the Australians came to bat, they had hoped that they were recovered from their journey, but they soon encountered Bart King's developing swing.

>>77657024
reckon WI have it in the bag

The side was all out for 199, and King took 5 wickets for 78 runs. The Australians followed on and were all out again for 268, allowing the Gentlemen of Philadelphia to win by an innings and 68 runs. This win came about with the help of Bart King's batting and, more importantly, his bowling. The Australians won the return match by six wickets, but the Australian captain, Jack Blackham, said to the Americans, "You have better players here than we have been led to believe. They class with England’s best."[14]

In 1894 a second team led by Lord Hawke visited from England, playing two matches. Lord Hawke's XI won the first match at Merion with the Philadelphians coming back to win the second at Germantown's Manheim ground.[15]

In 1897, the Philadelphian side toured England for 15 first class matches. Though the results may have been less satisfactory than hoped for by the promoters, the tour was arranged mainly for educational purposes and few of those on the American side expected to win many matches.[16] Previous tours had tended to involve amateur English sides with a low level of competition. In 1897 a schedule was made including all of the top county cricket teams, the Oxford and Cambridge University teams, the Marylebone Cricket Club, and two other sides, though only a few of the counties thought it worthwhile to put their best elevens onto the field.[16] Starting on June 7 at Oxford, the tour lasted for two months and ended in late July at The Oval. While it initially aroused some curiosity, many English fans lost interest until Bart King and the Philadelphians met the full Sussex team at Brighton on June 17.

In the first innings, King proved his batting worth in a fourth-wicket stand of 107 with John Lester.[17] He then took 7 wickets for 13 runs and the team dismissed Sussex for 46 in less than an hour.[14] In the second innings, King took 6 for 102 and helped the Philadelphians to a victory by 8 wickets.[18] Despite the excitement surrounding the team's performance, the Americans did not fare well overall. Fifteen matches were played, but only two were won, while the team lost nine and drew four. The other win of the tour came against Warwickshire.

This tour was followed by a two-game series at home against a team captained by Plum Warner in which each team won a match.[19] Warner again brought a team the following year, this time winning both games.[20] The decade was rounded out with a tour by a team captained by Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji. This team won both matches against the Philadelphians in 1899.[21]

Some of you may know me as ManWithNoName on bigfooty.com/forum. I'm a prolific contributor to the cricket board and was the first bigfooty user to report the Phil Hughes tragedy.

I've been visiting this place for a while know and I'd like to quickly address a couple issues.

First, the amount of misogyny and downright disgraceful woman hating comments I have read is quite frankly disgusting. I'm a proud feminist, and if you want women to have basic human rights then you're a feminist too.

Secondly, racism towards the our brave and powerful indigenous athletes has left me without words. In particular, the tragic treatment of Adam Goodes recently and the comments made by some 'people' on here was despicable.

This place is absolutely vile. This is my first and only post. If you want to contact me and hopefully apologise, PM me on bigfooty and I'll get around to replying.

#OnThisDay in 2009, Zimbabwe's Charles Coventry scored his maiden ODI hundred against Bangladesh in Bulawayo. It wasn't just any century though.
With 194* off 156 balls he equalled the then highest individual ODI score by Saeed Anwar. Sadly for Coventry, Bangladesh won the match with a record chase anchored by 154 from Tamim Iqbal.

"Don't reconsider your future. South Africa needs you. Your performances against England in the Test series were the best I have seen you bowl in a very, very long time," Donald was quoted as saying by Titans' official website.

"Give him what he wants. Let him retire on his terms. We need him this summer. I have not seen him bowl this well for many, many seasons. There's no doubt, Morkel is world-class. It is just a shame that he did not take bucket loads of wickets in England because he deserved it. He beat the bat on countless occasions without reward," he added.

Morkel is in his mid-30s and had recently acknowledged that he was nearing the end of his career. "After this tour we'll see. I'll sit and speak with Cricket South Africa and see where they see me featuring," he said.

"But I love playing for this team. It's not rocket science that they probably want to start looking, in white-ball cricket, at the 2019 World Cup. Am I going to part of those plans? If I can be around to help the younger guys find their feet, so be it. I'll do that. For me the main focus is this tour and then we'll go back and see how we go."

Pakistan Cricket Board has issued a show cause notice against Umar Akmal after his outburst against Mickey Arthur, the Pakistan coach, on Wednesday (August 16). Akmal was unhappy with Arthur's behaviour towards him and lashed out at the coach at the National Cricket Academy.

According to Akmal, the alleged incident of Arthur asking him not to turn up at the NCA happened soon after he had recovered from a knee injury. "I had gone to England for rehabilitation of my knee injury," Akmal said in a press conference on Wednesday. "After I recovered, I went to the NCA to start working on my fitness and training. But the coaching staff doesn't want to work with me at all. When I asked why all those international coaches didn't want to work with me, they responded that they wanted to prioritise working with players who had central contracts. I said that I too am an international Pakistan cricketer, and if my fitness is lacking - and I admit that along the way my fitness has been found wanting - they should help me.

"I then went to talk to the chief selector (Inzamam), but he referred me to Mickey Arthur. Arthur took me back to Inzi bhai's room and started scolding me and using bad language in front of Inzi bhai, which I found demeaning and insulting.

"It's not even my fault, and I find it painful that anyone should be allowed to swear at me. I accept my fitness isn't up to the mark, and I am trying to work on it, and I asked to be allowed a trainer to help me. But Mickey said I shouldn't even have come to the NCA, and should be playing club cricket instead."
"He [Arthur] shouldn't be swearing at me like that, it is like he's abusing all of Pakistan," Akmal said. "You look at any cricket match, and you'll see he's swearing at one player or the other. I want to reveal this to the public and to all my fans. I request the chairman [Najam Sethi] to take this issue very seriously. When the head coach is allowed to swear at someone whenever they wish, that is unacceptable.

"I want to tell them that even when I try to do something good, I am prevented from doing so. When I take pictures with my fans, they, too, tell me to work on my fitness, and I feel they are right. But now I want to rectify this, everything is being snatched away from me. Why do academies exist? They exist to correct our mistakes. Now you should tell me what to do; I am a Pakistan player."

Arthur, though, was quick to rubbish all the claims made by Akmal. "Umar Akmal wanted to use Grant Flower's services for batting. I told him he must first earn the right to go and play club cricket since he is not under PCB contract anymore." Arthur said. "He needs to prove himself before he uses our support staff.

"I never stopped him from using the academy; told him not to use services of our support staff until he earns the right. Akmal cannot expect that the support staff, who are for contracted players, are at his beck and call. Nobody there should be taken for granted."
