i see no way for england to win this series

1 bong, yes?
Most excited I've been for a Test in a while. Cock is literally on Pooicide watch right now. If even Poo Peeland were laying out the bantz against Amir then he hasn't got a hope of coming out of Australia unscathed.

the patrician opinion
i think pak will win here at lords just because pak will be raring to and england will be caught off guard having not played good opposition in ages, england will win at old trafford
but then pak always beat england at oval and edgbaston could go either way, especially if its overcast and amir has got into some good rythm by then
>>69538158
STRONG
>>69538158
test cricket in england is objectively brilliant sport
baseball is better then pyjama cricket no doubt but i think test cricket might take the take
>>69538161

Good job lads. You should all be proud.
>>69538173
>implying amir will play 4 tests
someone will offer him 2 kitkat chunkies and a toblerone and he will be bowling no balls every time someone in the crowd blows a whistle. gone after 3 back to prison to have his boipussy examined
>>69538184
* the cake
derp
>>69538173
all depends on Amir and Azhar tbqh
if they fire, then Pak win Lords and the series could go either way. If England win Lords then the series will be ogre quickly
>>69538184
>baseball is better then pyjama cricket no doubt but i think test cricket might take the take
proxy off daniel
>>69538191
I could go for a Kitkat right now, but not chunky that's shit.
>>69538184
I've never watched a live cricket game in my life. Do you think I would enjoy it? Considering the fact that my favorite sports is soccer, followed by basketball, football, then baseball. Not in any particular order, mind you. I just love sports in general
>>69538207
to fully appreciate it you have to have an iq above 115, judging by your favourite sports i would give it a miss
Pak @ $4.50 is value for a small
DNB is $3.20 but a draw is very unlikely because no rain is forecast and both sides dont have great batting
Can't say for certain though till I see the pitch in action. Won't be committing to anything until I do. If Pak bat and England get early movement put your house on them

So its a Pakistan v Pakistan match?
>>69538207
If you enjoy baseball then yeah. The atmosphere is fantastic, and changes a lot depending on where you are. The english games are hilarious because everyone dresses up and drinks champagne, there'll be a section of this game in which they'll zoom in on the drunk section attempting to pop the corks onto the field, it's a meme tradition of this ground

William Ball (or Balle, c. 1631–1690) was an English astronomer. He was one of the founding Fellows of the Royal Society. He was appointed the Society's first treasurer on 28 November 1660, and served until 1663.[1]
He was the eldest son of Sir Peter Ball and his wife Anne Cooke, daughter of William Cooke. He became an ardent astronomer, and he gained ownership of a twelve-foot telescope. In 1655, when the Rings of Saturn had apparently disappeared due to being seen edge-on from Earth, Ball and his brother Peter observed them as a band (or "fascia") upon the planet. The same year he established the rotation rate of the planet Saturn.[2]
In 1660 he fell 30 feet onto hard ground. This accident left him in continual ill health. In 1666 he retired to his estate in Devon and in 1668 married Mary Posthuma Hussey, they raised six children. Managing his family's estate together with its distance from London left little time to follow his scientific interests.[3]
In a summary of Ball's observations of Saturn in 1665, his colleague Robert Moray remarked that there appeared "not one body of a Circular Figure, that embraces his Disk, but two.".[2] This cryptic remark resulted in the mid-19th century in a claim that Ball had observed what is now known as the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings, ten years before Cassini did himself, and that the feature should more correctly be known as "Ball's Division".[4] However, actual examination of Ball's drawings of his observations does not support this claim.[2][5]
The crater Ball on the Moon was named after him.

indeed
Pitch outside rule gone WHEN?
whats the point of the pitching outside leg rule when you have HawkEye?
i get why you need it at amateur level and for human umps, but its unnecessary at this level i think
Will Pakistan score a run?
>>69538792
"""""negative tactics"""""" apparently
I think it'll go soon. They got rid of the pitch outside off rule like 40 years ago

lol no it wont
stop trying to be controversial aussies
>Ball bowling a solid 10k faster than Broad
>>69538788
when scottish fucking shits stop trying to cripple the goat
>>69538803
my understanding that the pitch outside leg rule was there because umps struggle to make accurate decisions because of the angle.
also negative bowling as >>69538802 said
maybe im wrong, im not a cricket umpire. just seems like a redundant rule at this level to me
lol
is masood elite?
>>69538753
Drowning seems to be a constant risk in Bangladesh.
>>69538823
doesn't matter, the lbw law is nicely balanced as it is, i think changing it up would make it favour the bowlers too much and would encourage faggy leg side bowling

Who rung the bell lads?
>Jake Ball's nickname is "Bally"
Oh boy english cricketers and their inventive nicknames
Why not something clever, like "Strike" or "Bearing"
>>69538823
>In 1932 the game was hit by the famous bodyline controversy. Harold Larwood the exponent of this alarming bodyline technique claimed justification of his method due to the frustration caused by the then LBW law. He suggested that the only practical move to neutralize his leg theory was to alter the LBW law to allow "Out" decision if the ball would have hit the wicket even if pitched off the wicket on the off side
So the outside off rule only came into being because of bodyline.
