CRICKET General Cricket Discussion - 2023/24

[Sproj]

And Harris finally gets out to a bad ball. Absolute trash innings.

 

[Allo]

Heat girls are largely stinking it up in the Spring Challenge final

Can’t wait for another season of Larris absolutely bottling it when we need it least. Should’ve moved on from her after the Final loss to the Strikers where she did the same thing she always does

Starc giving Kellaway a right old working over here. Be interesting to see if the kid can break the shackles because he has looked timid against Starc all day.

 

[Sproj]

50 to Kellaway. Hopefully he can go on with it and get to 3 figures to break the shackles.

 

[Allo]

NZ need 107 to win

Already 1-0 after the first over

 

[Bull Shark]

Suddenly our future batting has some green shoots

JFC our top order is going to have to play the collective season of their lives to give us any chance of beating India this summer

These Indian quicks just ask so many questions

It’s really why you would really question the wisdom of starting Konstas against them. I’d save him for the next series.

Bumrah in that kind of form is so good to watch. NZ did really well to win by 8 wickets.

Boland gets Konstas cheaply.

Yeah they could've easily been 5 down after his first 3 overs.

 

[Bull Shark]

I really hope he makes me look stupid for saying this, but I think Steve Smith is cooked..

It’s not just the numbers on the scoresheet but the nature of his batting.. he’s struggling to get the ball off the square

His weakness has been found out, every bowler now knows it and he can't fix it.

On a different note, this innings either good or bad, will show a lot about Davies. His team is in a lot of trouble, can he make runs in difficult situations?

On another further different note, O'Neill has to be getting close to the Aus' squad. I love the way he wobbles the ball both ways and can also bat pretty well, a very handy future number 8.

 

[Fernando]

Some return dates:
Spencer Johnson - October 25 one day match
Jhye Richardson (played club cricket on the weekend) and Lance Morris - WA wants them playing red ball cricket before the BBL break
Xavier Bartlett - says he'll be fit to play the T20 series next month vs Pakistan

Yeah it's not looking good. The bit of hope is the 91* at the Gabba vs West Indies, he batted on a different level to the others against some brilliant bowling.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Boland gets Konstas cheaply.

One of the worst LBW decisions you will see

Yeah just saw the replay, oof.
