Thread: Cricket scores around the world

^ Indeed, but as i said India fooked up with 4 seamers - pretty dumb leaving Ashwin out but its a bit of a road

Odds before the first test...

^ I'd make Aus favourites, Eng will likely lose Anderson and possibly Stokes before the third test.

in other news

Aus looking like they are in the driving seat in the Test WC final, should have a decent first inning score on the board later today.

I made them favourites and got trolled by the usual cricket explurts.

I believe the Aussie bowlers have the wood on all the Pom batsman apart from Harry Brooks and he stands between another easy Aussie series win.

The Aussies on the other hand have an opening partnership problem and why Warner is still there amazes me.

Broad has his number and will knock him over every innings.

Anyway lets knock over the Indians and then move forward to upset the unwashed hopefully good summer weather.

Well that's obviously complete bollocks.

One more time: Australia haven't won a test series in England for over 20 years.

What is obvious Anderson is fecked, Stokes is unfit and the3 rest will be cannon fooder for the Aussies.

I always base my claims on recent form but some fuckers go back 20 years to make predictions.

Anyway le'ts get it on and may the best side win the most coverted Cricket Award.

Oh, you can have the most 'coverted' award, no worries.

Whatever that is.

A great second day for the Aussies with India 5 down and still 300 odd runs behind.

Great start by India chasing 444 to win. Brain fade by sharma followed by pujara fukin up makes this look like an Aus win.

Eazy Peezy for the Aussies in the end winning the game by 209 runs and therefore becoming W.T Champions.

Bring on the Ashes.

Well, Smith was England's biggest problem last time out here, and so far it looks like that won't change.

Sunny, bright and dry for the first two days, so win the toss and bat, please Ben.

Smith is a great batsman. Let's hope Root finds his best form.
My sofa is ready for the weekend.

I'm expecting a new one to be delivered tomorrow morning.

Boland looking ordinary, unlike last week.

^^ Looks like you're on for the hatric, Cyrille!

What else did you predict?

Head drops Brook.

That could be expensive.

I can’t think of anything else I predicted for a hatrique though.

Maybe England winning the toss and batting counts as two?

Not so sure about that now… but happy for you blokes to get a bit cocky

And shortly after dropping a catch, Head fumbles the ball and helps it to the rope.

Oh dear.

Mark Taylor describes Travis Head as being ‘not a natural catcher’.

And suddenly Brook is 32 off 32.

And out! What an unusual dismissal!

Been a bit bereft of sport on the telly this week.

England win the toss and bowl.

Thai women played the Netherlands at Volleyball last night. The tallest nation in Europe v. the less tall from Asia with the anticipated result, although hard-fought and the first half was very close.
It is supposed to be on Channel 37. We got some build up and at start time the screen was replaced by a 3BB notice that it could not be shown due to 'rights issues', which probably meant they couldn't afford to pay for it. So there we were, bereft. The gf found it somewhere on YouTube.
