LFC Cricket Bashing Thread

Changed that to Two Test Matches for you

I feel the long format of the game is losing its appeal just because its so ****ing long.

T20 and One day (and the new 100 ball) will keep the game going as they have exciting finishes

 

****ing bastard unbelievable

 

Apparently the ‘6’ should have been a 5 as the throw cake in before the players crossed. England winning a World Cup on a controversial decision... where have I heard that one

 

It was the Bat of God.

 

I'll file that right underneath Alan Green's "And this final is over" at 2-0 in 2005.

 

If it had been a different decision, the rest of the game would've been different, as determined by chaos theory, so NZ might've won or England might've won without the need for the superover. "It wasn't actually a penalty, therefore the losing team won" is Scottish logic. And the Jocks were left crying into their Irn Bru again.

 

Funny you should mention the sweaties, MFG. I was born and bred in Liverpool and love LFC. However, cricket is the game I was very good at and consequently, I've always loved it more than football and on a par with LFC. My Dad played for Liverpool CC at Sefton Park. Sitting through that yesterday was harder than sitting through the penalty shoot-out in 2005! I thought I was going to kiff it

I had an interview this afternoon and called in at the Cheese on the way home. There were several reprobates sat outside, and I aske d couple of them if a couple of them if they'd seen the cricket. The resident sweaty spouted up and said the England team were all foreign and it was a ****ing draw anyway. I just told him to ****ing google it

 

File it wherever you want
I am a living jinx
I take it for the team

 

After the high of the WC... we come crashing back down to earth with a typical England performance

43-7... against Ireland
Were gonna get ripped apart by the Aussies.

 

just saw your post turned over from tour de France just in time to see wicket number 8 now 58-8

 

Jason Roy’s 5 isn’t looking too bad in grand scheme of things now. Promising debut

 

holy **** 67-9

 

make that 68-9

 

The fun of cricket eh

 

not sure the England team are having fun tbh.

 

Good job we batted first so we aren’t out all day in the field during 37 degree heat.

 

England taking Health and Safety seriously. Two day test match due to the heat

 

What the holy ****?

 

Ireland showing how it’s done

 

Who's been preparing Lords wicket's, clearly someone who hates batting.

Second match in a row where its favoured the bowlers and low scores.

Ireland's 100 run lead sounds good, that is until you hear that England only scored 85. Likely neither team will get over 200 (maybe just over), which is weak in test match.
