OMMGGGGGGG Broad totally screwed them!!!! Yesss ahahaha I was just gonna say that!!!
He's good with looks, the ball and even the bat (high score 160 against pak in the test match batting at like 8--whata freak!!) (Ain't many players like that! Apart from Coulter-Nile ahahah.)
Lol Aussies are gonna lose on Australia day ...

i think HyperBole meant that Broad sledged Yuvraj and got Yuvraj worked up and copped a 36 run hammering as a result

Yea but bowlers sledge batsman all the time and its not like batsman are hitting 36 run overs all the time. It was just incredibly inaccurate bowling and really good batting, didnt really have anything to do with sledging LOL. Anyone who suddenly gets more motivated to demolish a bowler just because they were sledged is not really a professional

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

I cant believe Eoin Morgan lost his ECB contract to joe root last year, hes 10 times as good as joe root, really should be batting the middle order for england, especially after trott went home could have promoted stokes to 3 and had morgan at 6. Joe root should hang himself for the shot he played tonight. 15 overs 70 runs 7 wickets in hand, england should have costed but poor shot selection and execution cost them big time.

Andrew Flintoff said something to Yuvi. And then he hit those 6es.

Ayy Jennings, what's that ECB contract?

and wtf happened with England today

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

Is anyone going to the T20 match at ANZ stadium England vs Australia?

 

[crazy_paki123]

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

^Morgan lost his place in the test team to Joe Root. I actually preffered today's match rather than the 300 run fests. It was a proper contest between bat and ball and very tight. I think the highest scorewas only 55 or something by Bailey which means you had to bat very well to score and that 6 rpo is actually difficult. T20's no thanks, prefer tests allday

Yea but even after flintoff said that stuff, broad didnt have to bowl so poorly lol. Heaps of batsman get sledged but none of them magically start hitting 36 runs off an over. Im just saying the fact that he had an argument with flintoff didnt really have anything to do with how many runs he hit off broad.

Every year nations hand out contracts to players to form a squad etc etc and last year Morgan lost his contract to Root so england must have thought root was a better option for england going forward but i honestly reckon morgan is tonnes better than root, has so much more to offer but that may be biased cos morgans my favourite cricketer. The last time he was in australia he played really well in the one day series hes so good to watch.

Yea england should have won today they choked really bad, they let themselves down. Were on top for like 85% of the match but lost it when it counted. That was some serious bad luck for bopara as well, if he doesnt get out they probably win

 

[enigma_1]

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

True. Maybe from now on England should reverse their batting order so that the batsmen who can really bat will be there at the end when they are required lol.

Yeah I know T20 is not real cricket. My real motive is to meet the players afterwards. Watching them play is a bonus.

This is torture

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

are you a pom? cause they suck big time atm, almost no hopes for the world cups coming up

 

[enigma_1]

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

lol nope. Their players are hectic though. Bopara smashed like 8 sixes bro. You aint seen anything yet..

 

[kaz1]

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

at the end it was pretty close, it was the dropped catch from root that cost the game

 

[enigma_1]

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

Truesss. And Broad was totally smashing em man!
Until he smashed his own wicket - well it looked like it lol

 

[enigma_1]

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

Do you guys watch every game? ahaha dw I do

 

[crazy_paki123]

Re: The Official Cricket Thread

Bopara played well yes but the rest flopped again as usual. England rely way too much on morgan and buttler (apart from yesterday). If they make the runs they go close to winning or even winnnig the match but if they get out cheap then England cant win. Also Bopara was smashing em cause he had no real pressure on, come on 33 runs from the final over youd say to yourslf i cant hit 6 6's so may as well have some fun and try to swing as hard as i can?
