What is he up to right now?
i see no way for england to win this series
>>69538138
playing DBC14 tbqh
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.
>>69538149

>yeah it could really go either way
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
>>69538162
>>69538163
>>69538165
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
>>69538222

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

>>69538398
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.

pitch outside leg
Is Jake Ball related to My Sweaty Balls
fucking umpball
>>69538268
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
>>69538792
what the hell do you mean?

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.

Rashid is decent but he's far too inconsistent in first class/test matches.
He would just be a liability while Moeen at least plays the stabilisation role once in a while.

no experience of the conditions in england, which are essentially the polar opposite of the UAE. pakistan are that high in the rankings because they play a boring attritional brand of cricket on wickets that suit it, good luck grinding a team with the #1 and #3 ranked bowlers in the world in favourable home conditions down. just because your dad is from shitskinistan and you know how to say 'curry and chips please mum' in urdu doesn't mean you have to be blinkered about everything
>>69543182
this pitch is slower than uae, the sky team confirmed

and no pak is way more free society than india, all your marriages are arranged and life is literally hell for everyone except the very rich, no woman would marry a stinky indian man without a gun held to their head after all, whereas young people in pak enjoy actually quite free lives overall. india is a complete shithole, all muh muslim memes aside way worse than pak or bangladesh

I don't get what's so progressive about drinking alcohol, smoking pot, putting out and being a degenerate in general. Why would you even think doing such decadent stuff makes a good life?
If the educated youth of pakistan are like you lot I really pity your nation. No wonder it's gone downhill for you since Independence. Same exact thing happened to Islamic Spain, people fall into degeneracy and the nation goes to the dogs.
I don't feel like posting an essay at this time of the night on how to fix your nation but you can't do it by aping the west. On the contrary Islamic institutions and Mosques need to actually educate the people in Quran and Islam so that they don't become cannon fodder for the terrorists.

Exactly what I meant when I said pakis need to be educated in Islam and Quran so that halfwits like you don't fall for terrorists' propaganda. I bet you believe ISIS and Taliban are how muslims supposed to be. Go read some tafsir and the prophet's seerah.
It's going to be Indian Islamic scholars and Indian muslims who you depend on to fix your 'nation' I guess. Literally all Islamic revivalist movements have started in India, being the bastion of the religion in the subcontinent while being a minority.
You took our language and culture so it doesn't come as a surprise that Indian muslims have to step up to teach you religion and nation building as well. Can't wait for your banana republic to crumble so that we can take our rightful clay back.
Friendly reminder Pakistan WILL win this test series.

its indisputable that in cricket Test matches have a larger skill gap than pyjama. In pyjama:
>Zimbabwe beat Australia
>Ireland beat England
>Netherlands beat England
>Bangladesh beat England
it happens every now and then. When was the last time a proper shit team beat a good one in a Test match? Zimbabwe beat Pakistan but other than that I can't think of a single instance over the past decade
