The Cricket Thread

We don’t do easy do we?

This England team is basically Tottenham. Why win easily when you can do it in a manner that shortens the lives of your fans?

Credit to stokes too. Truly exorcised that final over in the T20 final.

Jesus fucking Christ. He's a kid. A rookie. Given the ultimate responsibility. And you call him "pathetic".

Shaking my fucking head. You should be banned from enjoying the dopamine effect of a magnificent result. Shaking my fucking head...

Calm down sugar tits.

Games swing, you live in the moment... he bowled 3 poor balls and brought it back at the end.

They clearly aren't us as they actually won the thing.

I know fuck all about cricket but I do know my Kiwi neighbour who has been annoyingly loud today is now very quiet

But gives them a memory that will last a lifetime

I might need a few beers to settle my nerves after that. Christ.

Unbelievable stuff. So many twists and turns late on, what epic viewing.

I'm wrecked!

Watched every ball of that, heart was racing at the end... gutted for New Zealand as they were superb.

I can't quite believe what I've just seen. If a match like this doesn't get someone into liking cricket then nothing will.

Winning the World Cup by one run, on the final ball of a tie-breaker over with a run out.

Wonder what odds you'd have got on that before this kicked off?

Would have been hell on if they had lost it. World number 1, at home and then the ICC allow the groundsmen to prepare a flat pitch that England notoriously struggle on.

We might win something. One day.

There's two ways of "living in the moment".

You can have empathy and exhilarate/despair in the fluctuating fortunes and extreme pressures brought on elite athletes and revel in genuine sporting moments of tension and brilliane.

Or you can be some fat **** on the internet ranting at clouds.

You are clearly the latter.

You owe that "pathetic" kid everything, mate.

 

[ajspurs]

Wow, I've never even liked cricket previously but that was incredible, thoroughly enjoyed it. What pressure for some of those guys at the end there, they coped with it so well!

Oh insults, really mature of you.

Well done boys, that sounded exciting.

Wasn't even 1 run, was 15 each, England won by more boundaries during normal play and the last over I think.

"pathetic Archer"

Critiquing his poor bowling...

 

[theShiznit]

That's left me feeling like I've got withdrawal from something but I don't know what it is...
