**The Official Cricket Thread** (serious)

[JasperBedford]

5 days of toil coming down to 1 wicket and a handful of runs, in a series only played once every two years. Magic fleeting moments that make the slog of test match cricket worth it. Like skiing on ice all year for one day of earned turns on fresh powder that makes an entire season

Thus endith the sap story.

Here we go!

[gangaslayer]

australias final wicket has made 213/1 while rest of team has made 348/18

Aw man I can't watch. If this was game 4 i'd be having a nervous break down. Then that happens.

[CHUNKUK]

if aus lose it better they lose now, if they get out with less than 5 runs needed it will crush them

[Doomster23]

Under twenty needed... My god this is intense.

Yer it's early days, but Agar does look like he'll be a good player for us.

When fully fit and able to bowl more than the odd short spell Watson is a pretty good all-rounder.

I thought of Watson but unfortunately his body has let him down. Never made a consistent run and doesn’t make big scores

Love watching him when on song though. If only he had better luck with injury

Yep! it really is the only form of cricket anyone really cares about (besides world cup)

[FunSize1990]

One of my housemates put a tenner on at 11-1 when it was 210-9

And he is out.

[CHUNKUK]

[G_Train]

Can't give it out surely!!

[Psychotropic]

[gangaslayer]

****ing DRS

[FunSize1990]

Definitely an Edge.

I dunno brahs. I just feel empty about that.

[CHUNKUK]

well played Australia srs

[Doomster23]

Where's the ****ing benefit of the doubt?

[FiLL]

First thought was he edged that (Could certainly hear it), unlucky.

[Shantheman]

Fuah.........

[G_Train]

fuk broad that *******. Hit the cover off the ball and didn't walk, cost australia 21 runs. Australia should have won. That drs didn't seem very conclusive imo.

ffffffffuaaaaaaarrkkkk

[FunSize1990]

On a positive note. Dar will never umpire an Australian game again lol.

[sunnyTEE]

Im getting down on the fence on boxing day a piffing a full stubby at that rosey cheeked ******* broads head

[JasperBedford]

Seemed like an edge to me, first thought. Sounded like a nick, there was a small hotspot. Snicko as well.

Recently I've watched lots of matches that have had that nick sound from the stumps and the ball has been nowhere near the bat. I dunno.

Shame to end on DRS. 4 more to go though lads.

Edit: Aussies complaining about players not walking...
