Would you become a T20 merc if you were an international cricketer /cric/?I think I would once I hit 32-33.Get a bit of money in the bank while spending some time in a few nice locations.Play the IPL, BBL, CPL, the new English competition and maybe the Bangladeshi one.Would be pretty comfy.

>>77672728
the main issue with doing it is that if you lose form you can just stop getitng picked up/get less money due to how streaky tournaments are. you are also responsible for employing freelance coaches to keep you going between tournaments. it's probably not as easy as it looks, unless you are a big name in which case you just rock up and get millions from indians

>>77672761
But guys like Luke Wright never seem to have a problem finding a team.

>>77672728
Only once I'd retired internationally and I'd stick to the lower leagues like the CPL, Ram Slam, BPL, the Blast and PSL.

>>77672778
played internationally and was fairly succesful, and has scored plenty of runs in meme20 competitions. the main ones that would struggle is a journeyman that hasn't played internationally. as soon as he hits a slump in form he might stop getting picked up/get paid tons less and it seems like it could spiral unless you manage to hit form at the right time

>>77672728
>Would you become a T20 merc if you were an international cricketer /cric/?

Why aren't there more West Indies fans from Birmingham for this match? There are more blacks in Birmingham descended from Windies than pakis. Are BASED black guys more integrated than inbred paki rapists?

yes and also dont like cricket as much

>>77672819
There's a generational gap, most Afro-Caribbeans gravitate more towards football.Don't hear many young blacks talking about cricket these days.

>athleticism in cricket
root smith and williamson are the 3 best test batters arguably, neither are great athletes. you can be a top-tier cricketer without athleticism

>>77672946
Helps with pace bowlers though.

>>77672946
as a batsman or a spinner
no fast bowler can manage without being athletic. Reckon that's why India never produce any, they have shitty diets there and don't eat meat

>>77672972
But Pakistan have produced some incredible fast bowlers.Hmm, really made me think x

Hope Malan goes for a duck and gets dropped.Sick of South Africans in >my team.

>>77673006
all the paki fast bowlers are from northern pakistan and don't share a lot with the indians genetically, all big lads up there too from what I can gather

>>77673006
Might be wrong but I thought the vegetarian meme was a Hindu thing
I know for a fact Akhtar ate a lot of KFC

Pat Cummins is all pace tbf but he's kind of shit.

>>77673211
All it's done is made it even more abundantly clear how weak the top of the English order is alart from Cook and Root.

>>77673139
amir

Wood is obviously a genuine paceman but he's painfully average.

>>77673213
he's played about three matches in five years

>>77673213
What basis are you claiming that on?
he averages 24 with the ball after playing most of his innings in India

>>77673231
He's got pace but he just doesn't take wickets.Would take him to Aus just for the option tho tbf.Needs to get some County wickets under his belt.

>>77673244
Didn't watch him in India tbf.

>>77673230
t.zachy

>>77673290
So you watched him take 6/70 odd as an 18 year old against a very strong Sputh African side?

literally no genetic difference between the pak fast bowlers and north west indians india just dont produce fast bowlers reckon its something to do with hinduism

lads why doesn't the ball swing in oz

>>77673309
Only in ODIs, just thought he wouldn't have what it takes for test cricket but fair play, I didn't check up on his stats.

>>77673322
Don't use Dukes

They tried it in shield for a few games last season and it was moving all over the place

>>77673318

Nah it's because Pakistan used to cheat to get reverse-swing which led to a culture that venerates fast bowlers. Whereas Indians literally only care about batting.

>>77673346
that too

Tom Helm, the Overton brothers and Josh Tongue are the future of English fast bowling

cap this post

i still have a poster of james hird on my wall

We're just going to start preparing nothing but rank turners and bowl with nobody except Ali and Crane. Gives them the chance to stack this team with even more batsmen

Cook
Burns
Root
Clarke
Hales

This is the way forward.If >we use a designated spinner like Crane, Mo can replace Hales at 5.

crane is a meme

>>77673494
so is Burns are particularly Joe Clarke

>he fell for the Worcestershire meme

>>77673494

People always obsess over young leg-spinners.

England don't produce decent leg spinners, I have serious doubts over Crane.I'm not even worried about his County stats, he passes he eyetest, he's a natural.But I think it's way too soon.

>>77673511
Get serious hype over Dominic Bess though

#elite

>division 2

If you want to get in a England squad especially with the Ashes coming up playing Division 2 you should be averaging 100+

>>77673544
Anglo Saffers are always welcome

>After 6 Championship matches, the 20-year-old off-spinner Dominic Bess has 5 5-wicket hauls, 35 wickets and a bowling average of 16.23.

>watching cricket for the players' personalities

>>77674163
Went up to Nottingham for the Trent Bridge Test. Traveled on the train on the Friday night from the south, weather was nice so kept seeing kids out playing football. As SOON as we got within a few miles' proximity of Birmingham there were no football pitches, ONLY cricket pitches full of brown kids in Muslim skirts.

Absolute dive.

Cricket, to me, is an epic. It is unlike any other sport. Every single match is like a total battle between two teams, with battles within battles all over it. As Ian Chappell said, cricket is not a team sport, it is an individual sport played in groups. It is the sum of one team versus the sum of the other.

T20 is shit. Sometimes I have to walk around it and be like "eh it's okay" as to not offend people but being brutally honest, it's fucking garbage. It's all luck and power, there's no grace or subtlety or finesse. Cricket is elegant and smooth and skilful. T20 is brash and crude and juvenile. Whenever I watch a T20 I see no slips, no catchers, no interesting tactics. I see a bowler bowling a rank full toss, a batsman slashing aimlessly at it and getting caught. A bad ball, a bad shot - a wicket. It's almost always like that. A good ball in test cricket is beautiful.

To me, cricket is insanely unique and all of the uniqueness in it is in Test cricket and only test cricket. ODIs are this lame middle ground that honestly manage to be even worse than T20s at times. If you want wild swinging for the hills and bowlers deceiving batsmen with pace, watch baseball. Seriously, there is basically no difference between T20 and baseball. You want ""tight finishes"" watch basketball. T20 is an attempt to make cricket like every other sport on the planet and it sucks all of the things that make it unique and beautiful out of it. Imagine if golf made all the holes 2m wide and the courses 3 holes long. Imagine if tennis changed scoring to first to 10 rally wins is the winner. Imagine if rugby removed the penalty goal. Cricket shouldn't be about explosions and cheerleaders, because there are so many other sports that do that stuff so much better. Cricket is about tea and strike rates of 42 and leaving the ball and Alastair Cook and seam positions and how many slips you need and complex fluid dynamics. That's why I like it.

In summary, it's the ultimate form of the game of cricket simply because it is the only form that is distinctly cricket. T20 and ODIs were invented to appeal to people who aren't cricket fans, and thus they are often more other sports than they are cricket. Cricket is supposed to be tedious and long-winded and epic and five days and all that shit, that's why it's good. T20 is just a diluted version because not everyone likes that shit.

To me, cricket is the ultimate foreplay. Whenever I bring home a lover, I hand her a bat and I bowl as best I can. The sheer eroticism of trying to defend your wickets from an aggressive bowler drives women wild. The thrill of the hunt and such.

Don't worry, T20 and ODIs are just there to generate money from casuals.

Everyone knows the real talent and skills lies in Test cricket but if you get rid of limited-overs cricket you get rid of a massive chunk of funding for first class and Test cricket.

hopefully malan gets a good chance in this innings to get a few runs on the board
as shot of confidence as jennings has been, if he'd managed to get a 50 in the last match then he could have played himself well in against this attack

They must know there's rain forecast for tomorrow.

Plenty of wickets in hand and nearly on 300, could really up the pace now and get the Windies in as soon as possible.

Test cricket should be abolished lads. Embrace the future

Malan is like the piss-break before Stokes, Bairstow and Ali.

Will be even worse if they stick Ballance back in that spot.

How do lights have an effect on the ball?

>>77675145
>he doesn't know this thread only exists for shitposts

laughingwhores.jpg

>>77675145
what

>>77675158
the light particles make the side of the ball facing up heavier innit

>>77675145
Any cricket contest consisting the West Indies does not count as actual cricket Abdool

>>77675158
i reckon they dont and it just swings more at night

>>77675158

I'm not entirely sure it's that the lights affect the ball, more that it's harder to pick up the moving ball under lights.

Also in general it gets more humid at night which will make it swing more.

>can't even hit the right areas with a new ball under lights

These guys are fucking useless

Y'all not even getting to bat again you cunt

if test cricket were to be split into tiers once Ireland and Afghanistan join what would they be? Imo:-

Top tier
>India
>Saffers
>Australia
>England

Shit tier
>Sri Lanka
>bangladesh
>windies
>zim
>Afghanistan
>ireland

NZ and Pakistan are a bit weird in the sense that they're in a tier of their own

>this thread on absolutely thriving watch
day/night cricket is the way of the future lads

Why the fuck are they letting Kraigg Brathwaite have a go with a 6 over old ball?

Bangladesh will beat Australia brothers Inshallah

>>77675339

I mean you have 6 in the shit tier so just add NZ and Pak to the top tier and then go from there with relagations/promotions.

>>77675339
Might as well slot NZ and Paki in top tier. If it works in tiers then every 3 years or so the bottom 2 teams go down and the top 2 go up.

>>77675361
If Smith plays like he did in India and has for the past couple of years, no. If Smith has a few off matches, yes.
