Proper Mannies Cricket

Aye but you can stream it free, and as long as you promise never ever to buy something you see advertised, then it really is free.

F’uck Murdoch and all who pay him.

I hope to **** the rain goes off soon. At 111 I’ve been keeping my feet up since stumps last night, and if I don’t turn the sprinkler on to my tatties, ingins and peas soon, that ******* camel will be raxing off the ootside tap again.

I haven’t watched any today, are they stuck on a nelson?


Dickie Bird must be rotating in this grave ( I presume he’s deid)


Christ , he’s still alive.......sorry pal.

Although, thinking about it now, it was the boy Shepherd who was the superstitious one.

David Shepherd.

He IS deid.

Celebrity Antiques Road Trip on the Cooncil TV+ guide instead of the Lord’s wash-out.

I hope it’s a Windsor Davies/Donald Sinden roup-off. Never The Twain was splendid art, when ITV led the world in its far-seeing, revolutionary commissioning and programming.

A rule that gets on my tits;
“Umpires call”.
After a review, the ball can clip the stumps, but because the umpire said not out, the batsman remains in.
It’s a nonsense.
If it clips the stumps, the umpire is wrong, you’re out!

It’s like saying in fitba “ach he was only a few inches offside, so let the goal stand”.

Aye, it's very stupid. The batsman can be out and not out to the same ball. It's Schrodingers cricket.

[57vintage]

I’ve no real issue with it as ball tracker is not, nor can it be, 100% accurate and that margin of error is taken into account:

“…in marginal decisions where the ball is predicted to clip the edge of the leg or off-stumps, conclusive evidence - ball tracking - must show more than 50 per cent of the ball hitting the stump for an on-field decision of an out to be upheld. Otherwise, it can be overturned”.

England, what a bunch of ****ehawks.

England, what a bunch of ****ehawks.

Absolutely...they've made no attempt whatsoever to chase down 273 in 75 overs. In the last 10 overs Sibley has scored 20 runs and Root 1!

[Jupiter]

273 in a 50 over one day game wouldn't be too difficult, so there was no reason not to go for it.

Second test (of NZ's warm-up) England currently 76-7 chasing 85 to avoid an innings defeat.

Morning Vintage, Morning Everyone.

Exciting England v India 5 test series starts today at Trent Bridge. Eng win the toss and bat first.

Very close tbh. India have a real chance with Stokes and Archer missing. Think it will be a draw, 2-2. Hopefully Rooooooot gets his form back.

India's series for me.
Not sure by how many though.

Ffs, burns gone in first over. 0-1
