Cricket Season Thread

Watched on Prime a doco called "test " close up and behind the scenes coverage of our last Ashes tour of England and was shocked at the hate and vitriole directed at the Aussies by the Poms
It was horrible and started at Edgbaston before the Lords Bairstow incident
The widespread hatred directed at our guys was profound which makes Cummins and Lyon's partnership to get the last 54 runs while 8 down all the more fantastic
The Poms will argue that they cop it when out here but I am convinced it's not in the same league

Did you forget about that?
Remember those upper crust inbred child moleterers who call themselves Lords carrying on and swearing at our players as they walked through the common room?
The crowds during that Ashes series were the most vile bunch of scum that’s ever presented themselves as sporting fans.
They had better hope that next summer isn’t a record breaker for heat…the fully liquered up Aussie crowds are going to treat them like shit.

Apologies guys and gals if it has already been covered.
Worst commentators: Kumar S from SL
Makes me sick how he pretends to sound like a Pommy.
Bro, just quit already

No, I don’t believe we have covered that.
I see you’ve not posted it in the rumours thread, so I will take it as fact.
Did he commentate during the recent series in SL? If not there’s more than one knob SL commentator.

You have to laugh the Pommie Plodders lost to Afghanistan overnight and that is the end of their tournament which has been their usual humilhiation.We play Afghanistan tomorrow for a semi final spot.

Good stuff. India should win it as they don’t have to travel like all the other teams. Which is a huge advantage over the other teams

Unfortunately the BCCI rule the ICC because they provide most of the money to cricket.Like most sports money is the biggest danger to fairness and equality

They will be really hard to beat. I think we lost the last time we played them. This is a real danger game for us. If they win, we're out, even if England beat the Saffers.. They'll been on 4 and us on 3 behind S Af on run rate.

Agreed because this one of the weakest sides we have ever fielded imho.

They beat us in a T20 game.
Never an ODI game. The last time we played them was Maxxies amazing double century on busted legs game.

Thanks for the correction. I just remember Rashid Khan going off his head at the win. Forgot it was a T20. Still think they'll be very hard to beat.

Yeah, they can play.
In that game where Maxwell went beserk, they had a bloke hit 129 not out against our premier attacking lineup and their bowlers tore through our top order - which was also a more credentialed lineup than we have now.
Itll be a tough game for the lads and a good test.
