>>63319002
ahaha
>>63319128
Peter Siddle?
>>63319117
desu we have plenty of other people who could replace him, just England selectors are so fucking dog shit and never give chances to some people while giving crappers 30 chances before dropping them.
and all the analysts shill him like, "hurr he's got experience you can't discount, it's bad to drop people with experience"
Wish they were more ruthless like Aussie selectors tb h, at least people on the fringes for like 10 years (like Hildreth) would've gotten a chance to develop internationally.
>>63319127
didn't you see his stoic 40 last test mate, he's locked in for another year
unless you want the troglodyte Lyth or meme hales to replace him
>Muslim and Bell out
It's like pottery

Can anyone tell me what the fuck is wrong with the English selectors?
>Mo-meme opening the batting
>Bellend even being close to the team
>3 of the worst spinners in world cricket
>Not selected Plunkett instead.
We still have a chance with Root, Cook and Taylor but I don't think they'll be able to get 250 by themselves
fucking hell lads, maybe I should renew my English passport and bat at 3
STOP GIVING PART TIMERS WICKETS
Malik needs to retire, he's not bowling to a test standard
>>63319155
>they've already used and discarded all the openers
>bell sucks all their dicks before every series
>literally the only spinners we have
>plunkett a shit
>>63319155
Moeen's batting is constantly shilled by the admin and analysts even though he's never really done anything to warrant it other than looking rather "graceful" sometimes. Hales did terribly in the ODIs so that's why they probably tried Ali instead.
Bellend has "experience" so they just won't drop him.
It's a "spinning" wicket so they meme it up, rather than really looking at their actual bowling lineup and realising that good seamers on a spinning wickets are still better than 3 shit spinners
Plunkett has a fairly meh record, almost 40 average but he probs would be better than these inconsistent spinners. Problem is spinners need to be consistent to build up pressure. With Patel and Ratshit you always know at least 1-2 bad balls are coming every over, they just wait for it. Not international quality but I can almost guarantee they'll bring Rashid to SA despite performing terribly in literally the perfect conditions for him here.
Problem is that England selectors don't rotate their lineup enough. They give people way too many chances at the expense of hopefuls. This means we CONSTANTLY lack viable alternatives with experience. England selectors hate debuting people during bigger series such as SA and Australia, so they just keep their "experienced" but terrible players, which just reinforces itself because they still don't have much experience spread around.
how many overs left tonight? 4?
>>63319188
moeen frequently rescued collapses/turned competitive scores into strong scores in the ashes, he was probably our 3rd best batsman
wew time for umpball lads
>>63319198
Yeah, but while batting at 8, not opening the innings.
>>63319198
facing a tired bowling attack and most of the time he was just getting cheeky 30s and 40s
completely different from batting in the top order
>reviewistan
>>63319215
That's why he shouldn't bat in top order
>england would be 4 down now if not for umpball
baka desu sempai
>>63319236
>implying Pakistan haven't had chances on umpire's ball clipping
Glad to be back in a /cric/ thread after a dece absence.
Also glad the season is back underway. Team is 4-1 and top of the table. 14 Season runs and an average of 7. I'm feeling it.
>>63319173
>>63319188
They could've at least called a decent seamer for this test. Playing 3 spinners on a seaming track against a subcontinent side is nothing other than class A autism.
this was the last thread before the australian summer

I have no idea why the ICC is sinking so much money into America when they're LITERALLY NEVER going to get into cricket. They find baseball boring, cricket's as good as dead there.
The money would be better spent in Ireland, the West Indies, Nepal, Afghanistan, the Netherlands or wherever, so long as it isn't America
>>63320009
Those countries would bring in less profit for the icc.
>>63320044
What revenue are they expecting out of America though?
There's no chance of long term profit, and the attendance is going to be UAE tier
Sure , America has the potential for boatloads of money, but the chances of tapping into that is next to nil
>>63320009
just a quick cash grab from the brownies fampai
>>63319968
>"No one one wants to get out, and the bowlers also don't want to get spanked. So it will be a good contest," he added.
>>63320009
While I agree the ICC is useless at funding cricket in developing countries, putting money into the US isn't necessarily a bad idea - Cricinfo's second biggest market is the US.
>>63320244
>Cricinfo's second biggest market is the US
Huh, that's a surprise with how the curries seem to be the only ones making tweets and posting comments. I'm guessing that's mostly expats?
>>63320406
Yeah, all Indian/Paki expats. It will be interesting to see if they can develop a decent local scene or if all the second generation kids end up playing American sports.
>>63320656
That's a good point actually, expats are generally responsible for developing the sports in the Asian countries
I don't know what other sports they'd turn to though, they're hardly built for NRL or basketball, and baseball is declining in popularity

Anderson can hold a good line and length, the corridor of uncertainty. Yes he's nowhere near as effective in swinging conditions but you can't really discount that consistency.
English spinners will a feast for the SA batsmen.
Finn is unfortunately past his prime, I don't know how well he'll work. He's lost a lot of pace nowadays, and his only good performances have come in heavy swinging conditions. Wood's pace might be more effective this time around.

Hi lads!
Oh boy I sure am excited to see the summer of cricket get under way today with very tough series against our neighbours New Zealand beginning on Channel 9™ at 10:00am AEDT. All of our favourites including Slats, Tubby, Brayshaw and Brett Lee will be featuring in the commentary box once again, to bring the joy of cricket to every Aussie house this summer!
I sure hope you've all got your KFC™ ready for lunch! I for one will be enjoying a delicious Large Zinger Box™. Can't beat that taste!
burnsy is start to pick it up a bit
Australia and New Zealand in
The Burn Supremacy
I am genuinely angry that I was fooled by the 3 NZ autists in /cric/ into thinking that this would be a tough series because of Southee and Boult being "elite" bowlers. I can't believe I fell for that shit.
>clapping the batsmen for hitting you for four

This thread is moving too fast :(

>>63332251

>>63332212
Oh yeah and how many wickets have you taken lad?
Australia has taken 0 (zero) wickets
Tub spot on for the first time in years, Craig is a lot like Swann.
Good spinners who'll get keked in Australia.

Sorry for being insensitive to it, i didn't know.
>>63332303
I've noticed many Australians (mostly normies) love to shit on the commentary team but never offer up any better suggestions as to who should call.
Litmus test is their opinion on Mark Nicholas. Apart from the Siddle hat-trick he hasn't done much wrong and is a really good author on the game. Only casuals hate him
>>63332357
so are we going to keep a general going for people to post in about both games, or split into two threads? one general sounds comfier tb h
>>63332349

>I've noticed many Australians (mostly normies) love to shit on the commentary team but never offer up any better suggestions as to who should call.
Yeah, this was pointed out a few times last summer too.
Mark Nicholas and Mark Taylor are unironically good commentators.
>>63332400
Morphitt, Ponting and Waugh are all terrible commentators.
>>63332376
Hussey is great, he is simply a massive cricket nerd. Ponting is also good, though lacks any personality. Warne is colourful, but surprisingly good. Tubbs of course. The grandstand regulars are also quite good
is ronchi unironically better than watling?
>>63332376
The Siddle hat trick was based as fuck, only buttmad ausfailian keket bogans think that wasn't a great thing to say

Decent relative to Slats and Healy.
Bumble and Nicholas are top tier. Harris, Huss and even Lee still need a couple more years to work in to it.
Warnes the best captain we never had so his brain is packed with knowledge. Goes on tangents too much though.
