Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread

WA will not win.

I reckon you are on the money.

Must be hard to keep focused when you have a whole day to bat out and a 450 target

Need plenty of reverse ramp shots.

Wouldn’t put it past Whiteman

Come on Greeny!

Crossing my fingers for Banners to carry his bat.

Is this a dead rubber now that it looks like Victoria can’t lose?

There are two games to go, so definitely not a dead rubber.

Oh true, I thought it was the last match for some reason

One day comp only plays 7 games. The Sheffield Shield plays 10.

We need NSW to hold on for a draw and we need to do the same, to keep both Vic and Tas in striking distance.

Hopefully rain continues

Rain stopped play there by the looks of it? So that will increase the chances of NSW holding on

I'm not sure what the context is here, but I agree that umpire's call should be done away with. What even is the point?

Either use the technology, or don't. Sure, there's still a margin of error, but the margin for technology is far smaller than that of a human's.

I'm sure it won't be long until all umpiring will be done remotely by AI anyway. Cricket will probably hold out for a while because 'the umpires are part of the tradition of the game'. But eventually the authorities will remember that the game exists for players, not umpires.

Yaasssssss Green

 

[Dazzler9]

And Bangers too!!

Tassie got what they deserved.
They could've really made it interesting but they decided to kill the game by giving us a ridiculous target.

Did they drive a steamroller on the wicket after the first innings? Seemed like there was plenty on offer for the bowlers early on but from midway through day two it turned into a road.

Hopefully Greeny will take a lot of confidence out of that

A flat deck but both have average bowling attacks.

And might've been an entirely different game had Cartwright not put down Jewell.

What was the chance like? He’s normally pretty good in the field

I only heard on the radio. Put down a straightforward chance at first slip I think it was.

Head height, pretty much straight at him.
