By hiding at long leg or third man and hoping the skipper forgets you’re playing.

248-3. Gonna take some chasing is that.

WTC final starts tomorrow. Aussies by an innings.

It’s disgusting to see all the white people on here wanting to see the black people get battered.
I believe Enoch Powell was a big cricket fan too.

Eleven off the second over and the run rate still went up.

Darran on a cricket thread. No idea what he’s said cos he’s on ignore but I bet it’s inane bollocks.

Sad to see Labuschagne bat this morning, no confidence at all, probably doesn't even warrant a place in the Glamorgan starting eleven at the moment.

Good he’s a prick. Good start by the Saffers. I’d love to see them win this.

First time for Marnus opening for Australia.

It's made no difference - he's still batting like a Cvnt.

Tea ...

Aus 190/5

That was a jaffer from Rabada. Off you pop, Pat.

It's all about franchise cricket nowadays, I'm afraid. Batters no longer have the ability or inclination to build an innings in the longer form. Nicholas Pooran's retirement from international cricket is just the start. Test match cricket is on its last legs.
