KKR just fell in a hole the last 10 balls. Suddenly behind the rate
nearly 8 overs in, KKR need to go for it or the game will slip away. No wickets lost, but Darren Sammy and the spinner are killing them
... and Viyer ploughes a straight 6 off the last ball of the over. That shit was important y'all

Things 2021 has taught me
Tim Paine has a fucking big mouth for a guy who is of Lee Germon/Todd Blackadder levels of "not good enough but there by default"
Tim, you're not really good enough to be playing test cricket, let alone captaining the proudest cricketing nation on earth, try shutting your fucking mouth. Also your super-serious tough guy promos for the Ashes are cringey as fuck.
Yes England will get rolled, but it's got fuck all to do with you, and a lot to do with Steve Smith, and those 4 really fucking good bowlers.

Ouch !!!
Apt though. He appears to be the classic pussy with loads of tough mates to fight his battles. At least the NZers had a bit of humility to go with their lack of talent…..and at least Clarke with all that ‘broken arm’ shit had considerable world class batting talent to back his shit talking up.
You forgot Labuachagne. He goes alright.

Former England Cricket Captain and current BBC pundit Michael Vaughan in hot water for a sentence he may or may not have said more than ten years ago.
Thank god cancel culture have found another English cricketer to have a go at.
Seems like a slightly dumb but reasonably innocuous comment but then again there’s so such thing as those nowadays is there ?

Mitch Marsh has for some time been a bloody good T20 cricketer. He's basically the best player in the BBL, and his play in the World Cup should have come as no surprise.
Throughout this time, Mitch Marsh was correctly viewed as not a test match player
until now, because dipshits gonna dipshit. The drums are beating for an ashes recall, replacing Green, who was pretty bloody good last season.
Now, look, the first thing to admit is these drums are being beat by such noted cricket visionaries as Michael Clarke and Mark Taylor, who, while successful captains, appear to be absolute spuds as analysts. Someone who actually knows stuff, Alan Border, doesn't see it as a great idea.

This photo makes me happy.
How many greats can you name ? I’ve never seen so many in one pic.
I’ve got Warnie, Lara, Pollock, Tendulkar, Donald, Ponting, Akhtar, Murali, Walsh, Sangakkara, Jayawardene, Hayden, Sehwag, Kumble…..a few I’m not 100% on.
Andrew Symonds and Jonty Rhodes are in the pic as well.

Just been reading Ray Illingworth’s obituary. There was a pretty amazing stat on the 1970/71 Ashes series. 7 matches (one abandoned) and the home umpires apparently did not give one lbw decision in favour of the English bowlers. 😳

Do you think the poms can use that as an excuse for the series going on now ?

@catogrande digressing slightly ... during one of the previous tests this series I heard Chapelli who is on the ABC comms team (and sounding old
) waffling on about how l, on a given tour to South Africa some time in the 60s or early 70s, the home umpires were "very patriotic".To be fair he didn't bring up the topic (it was someone recalling what he said at the time), but obviously the absolute height of irony.

The, actually quite valid, excuse we will be using is that we’re just a bit shit.

God knows but I’m thinking that it’s probably a combination of things. Do we have the cattle firstly? Are we giving them enough first class cricket or are we hell bent on chasing limited overs glory? Is our coaching up to scratch? Then the big one - selection.
