1st Test: England v Sri Lanka at Leeds
May 19-23, 2016 (11:00 local | 10:00 GMT | 20:00 AEST)
No IPL losers allowed
>>67688005
Shut the fuck up krazykrejza
>>67688079
Measured your hairline regression today Daniel?
torn on whether or not I should buy tickets for the Pakistan ODI series lads
I don't expect it to be remotely competitive
PSA
>>67688378
good bet, i'll hop on it as well but my only concern is the weather which doesn't look that flash.
Leeds in May........................
Otherwise Shit Lanka will lose inside 3
>>67688211
Don't for the ODI series. Pakistan are laughably bad at ODI cricket. Wait for their tour to England to see whether they will be competitive in Tests. I think their bowling is good enough but their batting is dog shit.
mfw /cric/ threads are finally back

>>67688378
Literally giving money away at this point. Do they have odds for the game not lasting 4 days?
Is Kramer /Cric/ approved? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoLPLsQbdt0
Could a comedian from your country call out an abo or a coconut the same way and not have his career ruined?
>>67688986
Nope. Englel's odds to win the series are only 1.12 though.
I don't think they pay much attention to cricket odds since so much of the cricket fanbass aren't allowed to bet.
>>67689032
Depends
Chris Lilley did shit like that all the time, but it was always in character. I remember people getting furious over the first episode of Angry Boys when it came out though.

Don't worry lad, Poo Peeland are upping their game. Next season they are hosting Bangladesh. NZC are working really hard to finally get Kane past that 50 average :^)

I'm glad Lara wasted an entire Test match against England just so he could get his record back.
It triggered my autism that the highest score came against fucking Zimbabwe.
>India are UNIRONICALLY playing ANOTHER Test series against Zimbabwe AND playing 4( F O U R) Tests against the Tendies followed by like 17 Home test matches in a row

>Might that determination have contributed to the problem? While AVRC is, 90% of the time, genetically inherited, is it possible that his training regime - and nobody hit the gym harder than Taylor - might have asked too much of his body? It is too early to say for sure as tests continue to ascertain exactly what happened and what limits will be put on him after the operation.

>Offspinner Sunil Narine and allrounder Kieron Pollard, who have not played international cricket since November 2015, have been picked in West Indies' squad for the first four matches of the upcoming Tri-Nation series against Australia and South Africa, which starts from June 3.

Nope, Chameera is a meme and Bitchstow and the rest will slap him around because he doesn't have a single decent delivery except for the bouncer.
Chameera looked good against Poo Peeland ""batsmen"". But then, Shittle and Jackson fucking Bird looked good against PP bats"""men""".

>>67695958
my problem with Burns is that he can't play the moving ball to save his life. He scraped through the PP tour because Pooult and Shithee bowled nothing but cross seamers. He'd do fine in Sri Lanka, since their bowlers aren't anything to write home about, but I see no point in developing someone that flawed. I'd much rather see SMarsh statpad his confidence back. I still maintain he could be an excellent player.

>>67695918
unsure about Hales, his leaving has been really good in the county game so far this year, but he still likes a big waft and at headingley at least he should be punished for it, it's gonna be cloudly with rain later on today supposedly so the new ball will hoop around if england bat first. I think england will score 400 first up, and skittle sri lanka cheaply. anderson might be useful for once just because of how much it swings at headingley, and hopefully gets some sort of confidence back so he doesn't get kicked out because he's been terrible for nearly a year now

>England will host a day-night Test, according to England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves.
>Australia held the first day-night Test against New Zealand in November in the hope of attracting larger crowds and a peak-time TV audience.
>"You can't turn your back on it, it will happen," Graves told BBC Sport.
>"We just have to decide when it is going to happen. We're doing a lot of work on it and we'd love to see day-night cricket."
>In a wide-ranging interview to be broadcast during Test Match Special's coverage of the first day of the first Test between England and Sri Lanka at Headingley on Thursday, Graves also said:
>Live Test cricket will never again appear on terrestrial television
>Two or three counties were prevented from going bust in the past year

Hello lads, I'm now a rugby fan

>Live Test cricket will never again appear on terrestrial television
That's fucking shit, should kill himself
>Two or three counties were prevented from going bust in the past year
No shit. Need a third division (non-first class) with all the minor counties and prom/rel, only way to keep the bottom few competitive. Also probably allow 2 internationals per side. Tons of SH players want to do county, but there are only 18 slots, would improve viewership and quality of play.
>A revamped T20 competition will not be themed on franchises but could have city-based teams
Not necesarily a bad idea, bit shit for the small counties
>Test cricket is safe so long as governing bodies move to protect it
"safe" is not the goal
>Counties should look to hold day-night first-class matches
I personally think the day night thing is fine.
>>67696062
Skill, technique and intelligence.
T20 exists for women and West Indians.
>>67696079
>England will host a day-night Test
Wouldn't this be problematic for you guys and just plain unnecessary? I haven't been to Englel for years but iirc the sun doesn't go down until quite late which would make the final session awkward.

The Basedbies are the best Australian Rugby team you seething fucking casual. NRL is for degenerate bogans and AFL is for Cucktorians.
>>67696111
They're not needed in the UK.
There's no point in doing a day-nighter to attract larger crowds when every day of every test match anywhere in england is played in front of a full house.
The stadiums get reliably filled.
So with no larger crowds to be had, Its purely for TV audiences, and that TV audience has to pay fucktons of money to even have the option of watching cricket. The TV paywall is why very few people care about cricket in the UK. Your average normie here doesn't even know who Alastair Cook even is.
On top of that you've got all the impracticality of a day-nighter in England, like dew forming early.
>>67696152
watch Fire in Babylon
from 1980-95 the West Indies were unstoppable and one of the most terrifying teams to play. They just kept on shitting out quality batsman like Lara and Viv alongside some of the best fast bowlers to have ever played the game
their cricket board is now a piece of shit that fucks over their players and all their talent runs off to T20 leagues like the IPL instead of playing for the West Indies
>>67696172 is one of the best meme players in the world, and he's played a total of one (1) tests for the West Indies

David Warner is the smartest international Cricket player in either tests or limited overs. Not only that, but David Warner is more intelligent than both Barack Obama and Thomas Edison. Do you think I'm joking? I'm not.
Warner scored a 42/50 on the Wonderlic intelligence test. A score of 20 is consistent with average intelligence. To convert a Woderlic score to IQ, double the value and add 60. This means Warner has an IQ of 144.
To add some context, this means David Warner has a higher IQ than the following individuals:
Thomas Edison
Abraham Lincoln
Thomas Jefferson
Barack Obama
Bill Clinton
Adolf Hitler
Here are the Wonderlic scores for other relevant Cricket stars:
Alastair Cook - 35
Kane Williamson - 33
Stuart Broad - 28
Virat Kohli - 28

the whole idea of it is you put the opposition on the back foot and keep them there by having a guy scoring fast. unfortunately they fail to factor in the fact that the duke ball hoops around early on in england, meaning you have to have an opener who can survive that. works a lot better in places like australia where the movement is less exaggerated so you can play at more balls, more about technical skill there rather than discipline in leaving

>>67697568
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Nobody really knows. It's like the emperors new clothes, everyone is just pretending. Those that are most committed to the act can make a living out of it, but deep down they know it is all a charade.
Reminder that the only reason krazyreddit keeps saying "sri lanka are shit, they'll get destroyed" is because he refuses to believe that they are anything above a minnow team, because >we beat them, and the only teams >we can beat in his narrative are minnows.
He literally refuses to believe that Chameera isn't pretty good and will DEFINITELY refuse to believe that based Tanaka isn't hot shit, for no other reason than because of his disdain for achievements made by New Zealand, and particularly Kane Williamson. Nothing makes him rage more than GOAT GOATiamson making BASED and ELITE hundreds against Based LankGOAT, so he has to endlessly spout about how bad they are, even saying that England (the other team he HATES) will "demolish" them.
He is being proven wrong right now and is literally seething.

>Is the hitter trying to direct the ball a certain direction
yes
>>67697755
Thank you for watching our sport. The batter (not hitter, though I can see why Americans such as yourself would call them hitters) tries to strike the ball in a certain direction depending on his own assessment of the fielders' positions.
>>67697755
Right now he's more trying to defend himself. It's a combination of not getting out as well as scoring. If you try to score off every ball you're not gonna last long and that's shit.

stokes is a bit inconsistent as a seamer, would be useful to have another one in a perfect world right now. don't think the management trust ali to bat at 7 though, the side could be filthy if they gave him a chance and he stepped up
>>67697799

Mostly the same as baseball, except for bowled, and no strikeouts.
Based fat cabbie time lads
>>67697827
I think with Ali in the side they should push Stokes to focus more on his bowling than batting. He swings it fuckloads on occasions, and with older balls too. I feel like he could be equally as good as any generic 3rd seamer with some effort.
>>67697843

>>67697868
If you understand baseball it's pretty simple to grasp, the thing that confuses americans most is the names for things, so just find a glossary of terms. The weird names are part of the fun though.

>>67697827
>I want to say yorkshire, but it's gonna be warwickshire I reckon unless the overton's rip sides apart from somerset
Somerset are looking like serious darkhorses, the batting is finally starting to come good and theyve got one of the best attacks with Gregory and the overtons (plus an inform gren), once it starts to turn in july Leach will start to become a handful too
>seems pointless

nobody quite knows what to do with stokes, he's super inconsistent right most of the time, goes between scoring heaps of runs to duck after duck, runs a team through then doesn't take a wicket for a couple of tests. they could well do that but nobody has a clue what to do with him really

I was only pretending to be retarded. I wouldn't actually drop him here at all. Series in India coming up for England so he'll be important for that as well. But I'd drop him the instant England arrive in Australia.
Also Bell should be the first player re-picked for Hales.

>>67697905
Also remember that Durham won that without their best bowler.
>>67697925
Borthwick also played a bit over here in the winter, apparently to work on his spin but ended up batting at 4 for Wellington who have a much better spinner (Warwickshire's brave Jeetan Patel). He only played for half the season but got two hundreds, including a not out one in a total of 220 odd. Didn't take many wickets I don't think. I like the guy but I don't think they'll pick him, partly because the England management seem hell bent on making him stay as a leggie.

I'd be surprised if Anderson hasn't retired by the time the 17-18 Ashes comes around, he turns 34 in a couple of week ;_;
THe problem Bell's got is he hasnt scored many runs in the CC this season whereas a lot of people around the circuit have done, Bell-Drummond, Robson, Bairstow in particular have scored a bucket load already

Yeah, I'm starting to feel like this new toss meme is forcing the clubs to churn out roads
There have been like 12 double centuries already it's fucking nuts. And at least 75% of matches drawn. I don't understand why they ONLY made it "bowl first" as a choice. It stops people from preparing greentops but instead pushes them towards roads. I think they should just let the away captain choose, full stop.
>>67697981
Who are the best up and coming quicks in England? I don't follow county cricket but it looks to me like they have plenty of batting depth and talent but not so much on the bowling front. I've always rated Bread and Finn but beyond them I haven't seen anyone I like. Jordan and Woakes are dogshit. Wood is average and made of glass anyway.
>>67697991
Anderson worries me because he seems like as he gets older he'll end up like steyn and hang about but be injured all the time

you can, but england are fortunate enough that they have a lot of seamers coming through so wouldn't make sense to hold them back, the overtons and currans in particular should be playing regular international cricket in the next 18-24 months
>>67698009
agreed, i cant see the rule staying much longer
somerset have 5 draws out of 5 :/
>>67698016
Jake Ball who is 12th in this match is considered dece
Overton, I think J is the better one
And then there's Rushworth, but he's 29 already and looks 35 and is kinda fat so won't get picked, despite being easily the best.

>>67698023
anderson has a pretty good injury record doesn't he? does a lot of yoga and all that shit so shouldn't do a steyn.
plus, he doesn't bowl as fast as steyn, so he'll hopefully get injured less as well.

Ball, Wood (although as you mentioned hes made of plywood), Curran x 2, Overton x 2, Gregory, Gurney, Coles, Footitt, Harris, plus the current incumbants of stokes, broad, finn, etc
The real issue for england is there is absolutely no spinners whatsoever...
You've got ali who's currently in the side,
rashid but hes blown every chance hes had in the squad and then its liam dawson (similar to ali hes a batsmen who bowls) and then adam riley but hes been playing div 2 and not done spectacular
>>67698045
>Foxtel actually not going full jew for once and charging extra for it.
It must be because they completely dun goofed with the EPL
>>67698050
county cricket is literally luck. if you get cucked by the rain it doesn't matter if you're the best team or not
>>67698066
>>67698009
>>67698028
well if there are more roads in CC that should help spinners develop atleast
spinners are never going to get a go if everything is a greentop
So from what I'm seeing, the bowler(?) Gets pretty pumped if he bowls out the batter (sorry if thats not right term.)
So is this pretty rare i assume? Not like a strike out in baseball which is common
>>67698048
>does a lot of yoga
what a fucking wanker
>>67698088
for top order batsmen, yeah
once you crack into the tail they're all shit and can't hit the ball to save their life
>>67698087
Very true, it doesn't help that we are nearly half way through the red ball season and its the midpoint of may when wickets will still be soft and green (especially after the wet winter weve just had)
This situation will only get worse when Div 1 becomes an 8 team division next season - 14 game season and we are already 5/6 games into it...
>>67698038
stop bodyshaming you literal piece of shit
>>67698026
word is he's unironically considering throwing his hat back in the South African ring once the 3 year cooldown is up
>>67698048
>so shouldn't do a steyn
Steyn had a pretty good record until 12 months ago. Age just fucks you sometimes
>>67698101
Ok so the lineup is simmilar to baseball then,
Do the bowlers get to bat? Or is that just for the people in the field
>>67698088
Definitely a lot rarer. Because a batsman can only bat twice in a match generally they work really hard towards not getting out, by only hitting balls that are easy etc, so tricking someone into getting out or beating them is pretty good.
BUT, bowlers are forced to bat (no idea why, it's just historical) and they're super shit at it so generally get out fast, though there are some hilarious meme matches in which they've done really well.
>>67698122
Makes sense. Pitchers generally are shit at the plate as well
>>67698122
>no idea why, it's just historical
it's one of the best parts of the game
>>67698088
It's also worth remembering that if you can't take 20 wickets in a game, you'll never win regardless of how good your batsmen are. Wickets are celebrated because they're one of the most important parts of a game.

>word is he's unironically considering throwing his hat back in the South African ring once the 3 year cooldown is up
Yeah they all fucking hate him though. Also, there's less around 2 years left
>>67698183
given the current state of the SA lineup I think they'd be happy for anything
>>67698107
What are your thoughts on making CC 3 divisions of 7, and throwing in some minor counties? I know that seems like a pretty short season but pretty much every other country only has 5-8 teams in FC and deals with it pretty well.
I kinda like the idea of a third division that isn't first-class level for the minor counties, you could even throw Scotland and Ireland in there and see if they're good enough to actually reach Div 1.
>>67698195
Yeah but KP's white so he probably won't play anyways.
ffs, he lost his place to Gulam Bodi when he was starting his career
>>67698145
This was honestly one of the defining moments of my childhood. I liked McGrath and Gillespie so much that I was literally cheering them on. Looking back on it it was probably one of the darkest days of NZ cricket, particularly the collapse that followed.
>>67698195
imagine if he comes back over >here, blows >us the fuck out and gets his ECB tattoo out and starts waving his shirt about
>>67698150
Do you say 20 because it would be actually impossible to win at that point or are just saying thats a shit score
Also, wickets..
Is is it right to say that if you bat first and abd are winning at the end then the difference in score is by runs?
And then if you bat second and win you win by wickets? (I thought this was the batters left)
>>67698183
January 5th 2017 is when he wouldn't have played international cricket in 3 years...
January 12th SA have a test vs SL
MY BODY IS READY
>>67698213
I remember watching Gillespie's double century at my mate's house. We were just laughing through the whole thing
>>67698229
in almost all cases, in order to win the match you need to bowl the other side out twice - which means taking 20 wickets
>>67698231
The cooldown is 4 years iirc.
He could however argue with the ICC and get back quicker if he actually tries. Ronchi went from Australia to New Zealand a lot sooner than that.
>>67698202
I think it would be an excellent idea, the issue at the minute is the top 5/6 minor counties sides are miles ahead of the other 15-20 sides and the bottom 3/4 CC sides (Glamorgan, Leicester, derby etc) are miles behind not just the div 1 sides but the div 2 sides as well...
Allowing the minor counties better access to play against FC counties will only make the game stronger but will also help develop grassroots level cricket,
Booting the minor counties out of the C&G trophy and taking cricket off free tv are the 2 reasons why participation is at such an alltime low
>>67698120
Everybody bats. Typically your opening batsmen are specialist batsman and can't bowl for shit, they bat first against the new ball. The ball is harder to play against at the start of a game until it softens up a bit from being hit about.
Then you have all rounders who will bowl a bit and can score decently with the bat against an old ball.
Then you have a couple of specialist bowlers who are probably shit at batting but might wildly swing and score a few.
>>67698242
I remember this too, think there was an NZ game on at the same time, because I remember them interrupting every over break to give us updates
the angry red men will save england

gambling degenerates BTFO
tell me about Vince
>>67698258
Thats weird how you keep the same ball. Mlb games go through about 100 balls a day. Any time it touches the ground they get a new ball to keep the game constant.
Oh shit its back on!
>>67698284
It's part of the autism. There are certain types of bowling that only work when the ball is new/old/smashed to bits/pear shaped etc
Bowlers unironically get really mad when the balls get lost because they have to change it
>>67698284
the bowling team has the option to change it for a new one after 80 overs (480 deliveries)
>>67698284
the ball condition is very important to cricket, it changes how it moves through the air and how easy it is to play
>>67698250
I just had a look, apparently you can play for another country after 2 years, Boyd rankin played a test in January 2014 for England but was then back in the Ireland squad in March 2016 for the WorldT20
>>67698202
What about 3 divisions of 8
18 FC counties
and either:
a) 6 minor counties
b) 3/4 minor counties (cornwall, devon, bucks, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands)
>>67698276
England will still win
>Vince finally scores a run
>>67698295
>80 overs (480 deliveries)
>>67698284
The two things that change throughout a test match are the ball and the pitch.
Over 5 days the wicket (the bit of the ground you bowl and bat on) will deteriorate and age. This changes the way bowlers will bowl and how batsmen will bat.
The second thing that changes is the ball. After 80 overs the bowling side can choose to get a new ball. Different bowling styles are benefited by different ball conditions.
>>67698301
Yeah but Ireland isn't a full member. Dirk Nannes played for Netherlands and then Australia within 2 months. The rules are different for transferring between full member countries though.
James vince is the greatest cricket player I've ever seen
>>67698301
would be keen to see ireland and scotland in the FC system.
>>67698215
>>67698183
He won't be 38 until he is eligible for Seth Efrica
>>67698301
I'd do this, and then have a 4th division for the rest of the minor counties that's split in two north/south.
>>67698355
KP won't play for SA. He'll be way too old and white.
>three wickets down
>Hales still in
>>67698355
He's anyways filthy rich because of all the domestic meme20 he plays so I don't think he cares too much about playing international cricket again.
Would be funny to see him play for South Africa against England though.

Don't even start.
>>67698440
he rates anderson at home though, especially in these conditions
broad and anderson will wrap up the Sri Lankan innings in no time
>>67698439
Don Bradman is unarguably the greatest batsman of all time and arguably the greatest sportsman of all time
However, Adam Voges, who averages 95.5, is widely regarded as the new Bradman and is indisputably the best batsman to have played the game in the last 60 years

>STERKS
Will England be all out before Hales gets his ton?
BEN STOKES
YES
inshallah england can still salvage a score
sri lanka have always been a safe pair of hands
pakistan would have dropped most of these
Man even pop outs are celebrated pretty good!
Its refreshing from baseball, the batter cant show any emotion or everyone gets butt hurt andthe pitcher might bean the next time up
>he thinks Sri Lanka will win
>hales not getting out for single digits against the moving ball
not sure if i'm actually seeing this lads
Post your face when Hales manages to carry his bat, something that neither of Australia's """""""""GOAT""""""" opening pair EVER managed to do
FFS.
>>67698500
There are lots of interesting characters throughout cricket's history. Bradman is one of them, WG Grace too
How is bairstow as a batter?
>>67698531
>andthe pitcher might bean the next time up
What did he mean by this?
>Hales half way through carrying his bat
Where did everything go so wrong lads?
>>67698534
clearly cheating
>>67698529
holy fuck could you be any more casual
Shit Lanka literally threw the series against Poo Peeland because of their U-12-standard fielding
literally no brown team is good at fielding. India are slightly better than the other because of the IPL effect but still shit
>>67698546
was laughably terrible a year ago, but he's decent now
>>67698551
Hitting the batter. In baseball he gets a free base if he gets hit by pitch but the pitcher will send a message if his hes butthurt that the batter flipped his bat on homerun or some stupid shit.
>>67698559
