As an American, I know everything about cricket, no seriously, I mean there is not one thing I don't know about it, the history, the players, the grounds, countries and rules. I can't even begin to tell you how many people I have pwned in my 10 years on /sp/ but let me tell you it's a lot, a hell of a lot. For all intensive purposes I should just hold back some of this mountain of knowledge I possess, my mind is just a powerhouse of cricket facts and figures, but what can I say I like to educate my fellow /sp/artans, surely you've all seen me relentlessly push /cric/ on /sp/ for years now and seen my superior knowledge of the game and seen my sharp wit and clever use of greentxt at play. Surely you have seen me post picture after picture of stats and facts that prove how GOAT Australia, Sydney, cricket and myself are, an it's all been for you fellow brothers, I know you all respect me an have huge amounts of admiration for me and my posting abilities, as a great man once said, I'm responsible for 90% of sports posts on /sp/, well I said it but you know it's true anyway. I'd just like you also to know I'd appreciate it if you asked my permission when starting a thread about cricket, Olympics, any Australian generals or anything really, to be safe just run everything though me as I am the man around here, Please could you also tell all the new trips that I am the example they must live up to an to follow my lead of informative and interesting posting skills, well I'm off to play some WoW

>>69577704
i posted in another /cric/ last night and someone told me to not watch tests and just watch t20s.

I'm bedridden with the flu this weekend so might as well post in this seemingly empty general
>>
Hello is this the /bundesnina/ thread?
>>
>>69577730

Well T20 is fun but it's also meme cricket, strategy goes right out the window and you swing for 6's (home runs) every time. Test Cricket is the purest form and you have to balance defence and offence to build up a decent score, losing all 10 of your batters with only 150~ runs would be a catastrophe.

It's a pretty relaxed sport with lots of banter though

>>69577730

Just got into cricket myself, it is the comfiest game there is once you familiarise yourself with all the rules (like leg before wicket lbw)

>Test cricket lasts 5 days
Why do they allow this. People have things to do with their lives
>>
>>69577795

It doesn't necessarily have to last 5 days but that is the maximum time allowed for each team to complete 2 innings, if time is up and the innings aren't complete then it is a draw.
>>
>>69577795
thats sort of the point

it was originally made by British aristocrats who had nothing to do during the day and needed something to fill the week up

Okay, but test matches are supposed to be more tactical?
I mean, I've watched some World Cup matches (the one that happened in Aus/NZ recently??).
I remember Australia had this one really fast bowler named Starc who was fun to watch.
I'm also Indian by ancestry so I know Virat Coolie and Sourav Ganguly and the other guy who is good who retired.

Overall I enjoyed watching Starc the most, fast bowling is actually pretty damn enjoyable.

There is a T20 World Cup and an ODI World Cup.

Was the one in Aus/NZ in 2015 T20 or ODI?

>>69577907
Starc is a tall, handsome wog and the best bowler of his generation and as you said a 145+kp/h bowler. He is much better than Amir who is struggling to hold 135 kp/h

the three best bowlers of the current generation are literally all Australian (Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins)

That was ODI.

It's literally no different from like a 5-match series in baseball. It needs to be that long because otherwise a true winner can't be found. I really don't know why people get so hung up about it when so many sports have like 5 or 7-match series.

ebin meme, ethnicity doesnt actually mean anything in Australia. I'm from a European family and I grew up playing cricket

most aussie kids play all sports. they only one they are really forced to pick between is soccer and either rugby league/afl depending on the state.

cricket and the football codes do not compete at all. There are two wogs in the current Australian Test squad, one paki and whatever the fuck Nathan Coulter-Nile is.

Good. My hatred for Pakistanis grows now. I find it funny how he's still able to play after being implicated in a fucking scandal like that
>>
>>69578179
It was for an american journal, and the guy writing it's american. I do feel like the American sports fans are missing out on a pretty enormous story with Amir. His entire arc is straight from a dramatic sports film.

>>69578193
It's because he was elite, and as much as everyone wants to shun him for his actions, tons of people just want to watch him being elite again.
>>
>>69578193

spotfixing, not matchfixing. its quite different

he deliberately bowled no-balls. whilst obviously still corruption, what he did had no real (direct) impact on the outcome of the game. match-fixing would be alot worse and require a far more concerted effort

They have Teavana here, which is a sort of Starbucks for tea. They sell some loose leaf teas which are actually quite decent.

Go in. Buy tea. Leave.
I can't control the clientèle.

In all honesty, though, Americans really are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Very open and genuine. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome, even if the results don't quite match the efforts. My neighbors respectfully now refer to association football as "your football" instead of "soccer".

(I work in Raleigh, North Carolina, which is in the South.)
>>
>>69578404
Yeah people from North Carolina are very nice. Raleigh is actually a super nice area, I had the opportunity to work for a branch in my company in Raleigh-Durham's research triangle area. Very pretty place with nice people from what I hear. You live in one of the nicer parts of the country (by nicer i mean how the people act). Take a trip north to the New England/Mid-Atlantic area where I am and people are kind of assholes desu.

I completely agree but honestly it unsettled me a bit because I couldn't tell if it was genuine or not. American customer service in particular is world-class and I could never tell whether them being so polite and friendly was genuine or just a contrived effort to get extra shekels. Possibly both really

I'm only talking about the big cities btw. In the mid-west it was definitely genuine. Some of the best people I've ever met are from there

It's a very interesting place. Basically every American redneck cliche you can think of is true

My sister went to highschool in Nebraska. I remember when visiting there was literally 1(one) nigger in the form. I remember at lunchtime him walking past the table I was sitting at and about half the kids snickered and made a bunch of crude racist remarks. sad!

Upcoming Test Matches and how you guys can help me!

I don't know if you guys remember me or not but I'm the user from about two or three months ago who's an American interested in cricket and wanted to invest some time into actually watching matches.
For the first time it what seems like ages and i have a free weekend coming up and saw that there's two very interesting test matches and I need your guys help to decide which one I should invest my time into since I have the availability to watch both. The two choices are between
Day 1 Test 1 : West Indies vs India
Or
Day 1 Test 2 : Pakistan vs England
Which do you guys think is more interesting to watch/has the better story lines for an American with no allegiances to any of the teams involved?
>>
>A few years ago, Nair tuned in to an Indian Premier League match to watch his favourite cricketer – Adam Gilchrist – play and happened to see Sunil Narine bowl for the first time. The West Indian off-spinner took a bag of wickets and greatly impressed the then 15-year-old Nair who started to follow him closely. Nair was already a fixture in NSW's state under-age squads as a batsman who dabbled in part-time leg-spin, but, inspired by Narine, he switched to off-spin and started trying to teach himself the carrom ball.

wow, a talent already ruined by the IPL

havent seen this kid play yet either, be interesting to see how he goes

West Indies and India are 2 of the most uninspiring test teams although they have quite exciting white ball styles of play.
Stick to England vs Pakistan.
>>
>>69581500
England vs Pakistan makes a great match-up because England is full of memes while Pakistan is a far more measured, conservative form of play.

It's pretty much the antithesis of what the two countries are like in reality.
>>
>>69581539
the fact that Pakistan is pretty damn good at Test cricket and laughably rubbish at pyjama memes is a feat of great irony

it makes sense.

The playing style of test cricket hasn't fundamentally changed like pyjama, meaning Pakistan can still follow the ways of the past and remain successful.

The same conservatism and inability to adapt with the rest of the world dearly costs them in pyjama, particularly when it comes to fitness.

because the wicket has had 4 days of deterioration. There's already uneven bounce on display. Messi will cause England trouble

ODI/T20 pitches are deliberately prepared as absolute roads to maximise runs scored. Not so in Test cricket
>>
>>69582362
Because the pitch has taken a battering for 3+ days.

>>69582362
No shitty field restrictions, no shitty white ball that doesn't swing or spin

pitch quality mostly

also maybe something to do with field placements i guess, not really sure because i dont know much about pyjama cricket

>No shitty field restrictions
wtf does that have to do with anything. the fielding restrictions stop the captain putting all the fielders on the boundary. no sane captain would ever do that in Tests anyway unless the opposition was 0/300 or something

you're right about the ball though

Cuckfield to save the day with a flawless century desu

>>69582442
Had two shit games in a row, Ballance scored a hundred. Ballance was millimetres away from being picked over Compton in SA so I think he was always next in line. It was still an awful selection though, they should be prepping Borthwick for the India tour.

Whats the score? My capped internet is to slow to load the score on cricinfo

36-2

>>69582454
you still havent given me one good reason why he shouldn't be picked

do you honestly believe that at the present moment in time Alex Hales is better than him or there is a better alternative sitting somewhere in County cricket?

No it's just a retarded decision, and is never going to happen in a million years so there's no point in even considering it. If Cook gets suspended for his over rate I might agree for a one-off but England aren't going to bring in a stop-gap for this kind of series.

>>69582488
Stokes, Ali and Woakes all have FC averages higher than any of the other wicketkeeping options.
>>
literally what is the point of on field umpires anymore. we should just let the third umpire do everything

8 inch long. 6 inch around. foreskin should be there but not not too much of it, should smooth out nicely behind the glans

>but England aren't going to bring in a stop-gap for this kind of series
why not? its the perfect type of series for a stop-gap. Chris Rogers was fairly useful for Australia when he was brought in as a stop-gap for the Ashes. Misbah was given the captaincy @ what, 38?

you develop players in the gimme series' against Shit Lanka and New Zealand. Play proven players in the important matches

I would support it, for meme purposes, but it won't happen. Don't even think they've thought of it.

He hasn't impressed me at all, but then again you can say that about half the English team that ended up being good.

Give him the summer before writing him off. Drop Ballance's skinnyfat ass though.
