Hi, newcomers to /cric/!
It seems you have stumbled upon our nifty old sport. You're probably wondering: what the hell are these guys in whites doing? Why are they playing with a paddle? Is this a new meme? But did you know that cricket has been played for over 200 years? Wow! That's really something. Here's something that might help you understand the game more:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_cricket
And while you're here, it's best if we introduce you to some of /cric/'s finest memes so you don't feel left out :) Here are a few of the classics:
>Is David Warner related to Shane Warner?
Referring to 2 famous Australian cricketers, this is a humorous play on words of current Australian batsman David Warner and Australian spin legend Shane Warne(spin is a form of bowling that you'll come to know and love). The similar personalities of the two players also makes this amusing, as it's likely that they are probably related!
>Will Smith score a century?
Another delightful play on words. Here we're referring to current Australian captain Steven Smith, and the question is whether he'll score a century. However, this question is always answered with "Will Smith is an actor m8", a reference to popular African-American actor Will Smith, someone I'm sure you're familiar with!
>Daniel
Daniel is a cricket fan from New Zealand well known for his idiosyncrasies, such as his worship of progressive rock, the English County Championship and infatuation with average Slavic girls(surely a step down from the babes you have in Europe or America, haha). It is common to reply to New Zealander posts with "hi daniel", as a reference to /cric/'s most popular Kiwi.
>Holly or Ellyse?
This is an ongoing debate as to who is the better looking female cricketer: Australia's Holly Ferling and Ellyse Perry(who represents Australia in both cricket and soccer - wow!)
There's so much more in /cric/ to offer! Stick around!
Cheeky attempted yorker there by Rashid. Just a bit too full this time.
>>63296328
What a revolutionary thinker. You'd normally think that only fast bowlers bowl yorkers, but old rashyboi is miles ahead of his time
>>63296328
this gets me every time
>>63296333
He bowls some surprise short balls too. Always keeping the batsman on his toes.
>>63296327
>actually taking the time to write this out

we could have bsa: the thread
>>63296343
Rashid, through his in depth understanding of trigonometry and calculus, determined that bowling a short ball will increase the distance it spins and has been using this technique to great effect.
Can anyone stop this madman?

>>63296685
what the fuck was going through the selectors' minds when they chose three spinners for the fucking English team
even with subcontinental pitches, it's dumb as fuck
>>63296697
Same with trying to play moeen as an opener
>>63296697
they needed to balance out the smart decision of picking up Taylor with a dumb one
What is this?
>>63296742

at least he didn't get out to ratshit's bowling
Nigga.....
and there was rashid's famous short ball™
>>63296797
Dunno what happened with Lyth desu.
Straight after he got dropped I remember he played a Yorkshire game on a bowling wicket. Literally looked 10x as good as any other batsman and bossed it.
Maybe just buckled under pressure

Don't think it'll stick to be honest.
Isn't it supposed to dampen reverse swing as well?
>>63297170
yeah it will probably be a disaster desu
the ball doesn't do nearly as much as the red ball after like 15-20 overs because lacquer comes off completely, but on the other hand it's easy to take wickets around dusk with the new ball due to visibility

If he maintained that across another series then it'd be time to leave, but when you're able to smash a double century against Anderson and Broad I think there's a case for you to stay in the team

>>63307264
>> 5 Tests (including boxing day)
Nope. They're coming in November AGAIN and I promise you they won't get more than 4 tops. Don't underestimate how little Keket Ausfailia give a shit about anything other than TV $$$

exactly. >We don't give a shit about Rugby and >we still knocked them out of their OWN World Cup.
Literally is far worse than >60
>>63310661
No it isn't. They don't care about rugby either. The rugby equivalent of >60 would be if the wallabies scored four tries within the first 20 minutes in a home bledisloe test.
>>63310780
it's not the magnitude of the defeat that matters. >60 was during an away Ashes so it wasn't that big a deal. They got knocked out of their OWN world cup infront of their OWN "fans". If >60 happened in Brisbane or Sydney I'd agree with you, but it was in an away series so is therefore nowhere near as bad.
Just as >5-0 was nowhere near as bad as getting knocked out of their OWN World Cup.

>>63310937
>you now remember the 2010/11 Ashes series when whole sectors of the stadium were abandoned as England blew Australia out in their own backyard
desu no one here honestly cares about rugby, they only remember it even exists when Six Nations or World Cup come around. Even though they don't really care much (aside from the possibility of actually winning something).

>>63311057
No one expected us to really win. Even in the group game vs Australia most of the PROPER newspapers said we were gonna struggle due to tactical differences.
Just a meme on 4chan to cherrypick crappy tabloid headlines to make us look like we think we'll win everything. People here really don't think like that.
>>63297264
These filters are the best thing in years, for 4chan.

that is an absolutely disgusting lineup
I honestly think >we will lose to the kiwis

it is >our worst team in decades but its unironically the best lineup we have. The only argument you could really make is Bancroft for Khawaja.
What else are you going to do, throw Travis Deans in because of one game?
But we'll beat the Kiwis anyway (or draw because of rain) because >our bowling is better. Especially the spinner
what time does the test start tomorrow?
>>63312952
I love how the whole "being nice" thing actually makes the australians really really mad. Like more mad than any regular sledging would. There was that one interview Brad Haddin did in the WC when he was like "them being nice is fucking horrible how fucking dare they try to shake my hand after a game fucking disgusting"

Elliott's innings in the final was one of the best from the entire cup and was the only salvageable thing from that shit ass performance. He literally did nothing wrong and Haddin was just being a tool
>KP blamed Prior and Swann for the shitty English dressing room atmosphere
>Everyone accuses him of being a self-obsessed insecure whiner
>Swann and Prior leave

>>63313836
>Johnson=Pattinson
Shiggy wiggy woo, Johnson on Australian pitches is the best bowler in the world
>>63313960
I'm basing that on the fact that Burns can't possibly be worse than Hughes was
It was literally PJ Hughes c Guptill b Martin everysingle innings
>>63313974
Assuming they roll out the same Channel 9 mandated roads as last summer, Johnson will be neutered just like he was last year.
Pattinson was fucking gun in 2011/12 before all his injuries, you're showing how casual you are.

I genuinely unable to watch the West Indies play because of second hand embarrassment now
When will the ICC axe them and promote Afghanistan, Ireland, the UAE or Netherlands, lads?
>>63314364
In four years, but Ireland have to play Zimbabwe both home and away and come out with at series draw or win. Seems easy, but they fuck that one shot up then it's another four years.
>>63314364
What I think is more shocking is that the boards are still treating them like a proper big test nation. They got more matches against you guys and England than we did.
What I think they should do for some of the associate nations is make at least one FC fixture part of every tour they do. It could be a full mock-test against a country's almost full-strength side, or a match against a domestic side. Like Ireland touring SA and Aus next year should play against the domestic teams as a first class game.
I feel half the reason they're hesitant to raise anyone is because it would be such a jump from doing fuck all to playing lots of tests, if they play 4 day games regularly then it won't be too bad.
>>63314501
this is probably the best idea
if you tour England, you have to play Ireland; if you tour Pakistan you have to play UAE, if you tour Australia, you have to play New Zealand
>>63314567
They should just use Ireland for warm up matches instead of the counties
Especially because it seems the only counties who actually claim those matches are the real shitty division 2 ones

i suppose they need another experienced player in there, but home series against NZ and WI seems like a good time to blood a young guy
>>63315875
Yeah and Samit Patel has more FC centuries than the entire England batting order except Cook and Bell. Experience that isn't international don't mean shit.
If he's good at home then that's fine, but you can't pick a guy with 8 tests on the basis of "experience" or "seniority", that's fucking retarded.

>>63317015
Do you remember the last test? No one expected them to get past 200 in the last innings either because of the pitch on the last day but they got to 312
>>63317041
M8 the last test was on a fucking road this one's been turning since day 1.
>>63317041
the difference is, this is the deciding test and England have a long history of choking
It comes down to Bell and Bairstow tbqh, if either of them manage to make it out of the nervous forties, England should be set.

They were literally blocking though, not actually going for anything. The only reason they got to 300 was because the innings was like two days long.
If you actually unironically think that England are in control right now you're just wrong. It's advantage Pakistan by quite a bit.

Hi, newcomers to /cric/!
It seems you have stumbled upon our nifty old sport. You're probably wondering: what the hell are these guys in whites doing? Why are they playing with a paddle? Is this a new meme? But did you know that cricket has been played for over 200 years? Wow! That's really something. Here's something that might help you understand the game more:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_cricket
And while you're here, it's best if we introduce you to some of /cric/'s finest memes so you don't feel left out :) Here are a few of the classics:
>Is David Warner related to Shane Warner?
Referring to 2 famous Australian cricketers, this is a humorous play on words of current Australian batsman David Warner and Australian spin legend Shane Warne(spin is a form of bowling that you'll come to know and love). The similar personalities of the two players also makes this amusing, as it's likely that they are probably related!
>Will Smith score a century?
Another delightful play on words. Here we're referring to current Australian captain Steven Smith, and the question is whether he'll score a century. However, this question is always answered with "Will Smith is an actor m8", a reference to popular African-American actor Will Smith, someone I'm sure you're familiar with!
>Daniel
Daniel is a cricket fan from New Zealand well known for his idiosyncrasies, such as his worship of progressive rock, the English County Championship and infatuation with average Slavic girls(surely a step down from the babes you have in Europe or America, haha). It is common to reply to New Zealander posts with "hi daniel", as a reference to /cric/'s most popular Kiwi.
>Holly or Ellyse?
This is an ongoing debate as to who is the better looking female cricketer: Australia's Holly Ferling and Ellyse Perry(who represents Australia in both cricket and soccer - wow!)
There's so much more in /cric/ to offer! Stick around!
>>63317227
i think daniel needs to fuck off desu. brown dog maymay should be used
Social club/panda man here. AKA the person who sparked the BSA meme almost 2 years ago.
I am honestly very pleased with the direction this meme is taking. I far prefer it to the previously-used "FUCK OFF AMERICANS FUCK YOU IM NOT A PANDERER GET OUT" which was used for about 12 months immediately after I put the meme into affect.
I am interested to see the path it will take from here.

Hey BSA. I'm sorry you didn't get that joke, it's a meme from /cric/, /nrl/ and /afl/, which pretends that one of the other numbers (in this case images) is the unique IP number! It's a funny joke that the communities make on each other, each trying to say that they are a better "community". Of course we're all one big family over here in the southern hemisphere, it's all just a bit of banter haha :)

hello friend :)
there are often people in the stands, as the sport is very popular (in fact it's the second most popular sport in the world!)
When games are hosted by Pakistan, they're played in the middle of the desert in a distant land called "United Arab Emirates" where they don't have a home crowd to support them, and the field is too far away for anyone to get to :(
For test games set in a local arena, there are many onlookers!
Please, feel free to lurk in /cric/ and learn more about this wonderful sport :)
