Re: The Official Cricket Thread

The effect of sledging? whered you get that from lol. Batsman dont sledge bowlers its the other way around
i think HyperBole meant that Broad sledged Yuvraj and got Yuvraj worked up and copped a 36 run hammering as a result

Yea but bowlers sledge batsman all the time and its not like batsman are hitting 36 run overs all the time. It was just incredibly inaccurate bowling and really good batting, didnt really have anything to do with sledging LOL. Anyone who suddenly gets more motivated to demolish a bowler just because they were sledged is not really a professional

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

I cant believe Eoin Morgan lost his ECB contract to joe root last year, hes 10 times as good as joe root, really should be batting the middle order for england, especially after trott went home could have promoted stokes to 3 and had morgan at 6. Joe root should hang himself for the shot he played tonight. 15 overs 70 runs 7 wickets in hand, england should have costed but poor shot selection and execution cost them big time.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

^Morgan lost his place in the test team to Joe Root. I actually preffered today's match rather than the 300 run fests. It was a proper contest between bat and ball and very tight. I think the highest scorewas only 55 or something by Bailey which means you had to bat very well to score and that 6 rpo is actually difficult. T20's no thanks, prefer tests allday

Andrew Flintoff said something to Yuvi. And then he hit those 6es.

Ayy Jennings, what's that ECB contract?

and wtf happened with England today
Yea but even after flintoff said that stuff, broad didnt have to bowl so poorly lol. Heaps of batsman get sledged but none of them magically start hitting 36 runs off an over. Im just saying the fact that he had an argument with flintoff didnt really have anything to do with how many runs he hit off broad.

Every year nations hand out contracts to players to form a squad etc etc and last year Morgan lost his contract to Root so england must have thought root was a better option for england going forward but i honestly reckon morgan is tonnes better than root, has so much more to offer but that may be biased cos morgans my favourite cricketer. The last time he was in australia he played really well in the one day series hes so good to watch.

Yea england should have won today they choked really bad, they let themselves down. Were on top for like 85% of the match but lost it when it counted. That was some serious bad luck for bopara as well, if he doesnt get out they probably win

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

True. Maybe from now on England should reverse their batting order so that the batsmen who can really bat will be there at the end when they are required lol.

Yeah I know T20 is not real cricket. My real motive is to meet the players afterwards. Watching them play is a bonus.

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

Bopara played well yes but the rest flopped again as usual. England rely way too much on morgan and buttler (apart from yesterday). If they make the runs they go close to winning or even winnnig the match but if they get out cheap then England cant win. Also Bopara was smashing em cause he had no real pressure on, come on 33 runs from the final over youd say to yourslf i cant hit 6 6's so may as well have some fun and try to swing as hard as i can?
