Sack the Board: the Cricket thread I

In the Pakistan vs England Test, they are using the same pitch as the match that finished 3 days before. Can’t remember that being done before. I guess they have tried something different hoping it will disintegrate and spin a lot.

Pakistan also only picked 1 pace bowler and 4 spinners. Pace bowler got injured batting, so only bowled 3 overs so far + England took 5 wickets from their pace bowlers, so obviously something for them in the wicket.

Perhaps they are on to something?

Either way at least it’s not another runfest

Fair to say that India haven’t started well against the Kiwis. 9 for 42 at the moment. 5 ducks so far

And done for 46.
Kiwis in front none down after 15 overs.

South Africa beat Australia by 8 wickets

That confidence was misplaced

Pakistan beat England, probably putting England out of the hunt for the World Test Champs.

India making a better go of the 2nd innings. Two down halving the 356-run gap.

Pakistan cricket is dead, bazball is the best thing ever, redefining the entire world, god bless the king

You were obviously drinking whilst watching King Charles arrival at Sydney Airport.

Hopefully a bacon sandwich will help tomorrow.

I love how Tim Southee outscored the entire Indian team in the first innings.

Lol and Kohli goes last ball of the day after wasting time changing gloves to ensure there wasn’t another over.

Kohli caught behind on the last ball of the day after wasting time like a Costa Rican footballer. Warms the cockels

Somehow despite the 46 and having NZ pile on 402, India looking ahead in the game and might have rain cost them. Theyre 3/344 with Khan 125* and Pant 53* both set and scoring quick

India on the collapse again, 7 down only 85 ahead now.

And thats why test crickets so great. Check the score again after an hour and its a completely different game

107 for the Kiwis to win. Day and 22 overs left.
Pitch is definitely worn…

And on other Kiwi news.
In under an hour the Kiwis have the chance to wrap up the Americas Cup. Currently leading 6-2 in a best of 13 series.
Don’t mention 2013 of course.

And light called after 4 balls in the Kiwi innings.

And 10min later it is absolutely ripping down like a good old Sydney storm

Has to be the greenest WACA pitch I have seen

It looks like they forgot cricket was on and just quickly mowed at 7mm this morning.

WA went from 1/44 to 2/52 to 10/53 (run was a wide too). Beau Webster got 6/17, and hopefully the all-rounder spot for the first test

Such a strong WA side as well, crazy.
