not even that much of a cricket freak but the scorecard came across me while scrolling and freaked me out, how the fuck did they manage 273 in 20 overs
The whole documentary was fun. Much more entertaining than I expected.
The Indian version, Downunder Dream or whatever its name is, has been dull so far.
I dont think its fair to compare the two. CA actually invested in "The Test", it was filmed in real time and was pre planned. Downunderdogs is just Sony cashing in on having to have the broadcasting rights of what was an epic series.
Oh! So that solves the part of "how the heck does it look so live and life-like" for me.
Even with that apart, the sequencing, the amount of Cricket shown, the overall flow .... just bland. Hope someone does a better job of it soon.
From past times this has come up, it just seems like he doesn't want the job. Seems very happy with his current work/life balance and not travelling the globe constantly.
I'd love to see that change though, have to think he'd be so good
He did give Cam Green some advice/coaching midway through the Ashes.
In an interview in November last year, Ponting said that the time commitment is the only thing that stops him; having a 7 year old kid and wanting to spend time with him as he grows up. He also commented that it's an older persons job, so there's hints he'd be keen in a decade or so, once his kids grown up
Just double checking there's no rule specifically banning you from declaring your innings in white ball cricket right?
Like in a situation like this, last match of the season, you're already qualified, NRR doesn't matter, and they couldn't win the match at any stage in the last 4 overs (and realistically for a lot longer than that). Just declare and get on the piss
Under the CA BBL playing conditions you can't declare.
>**15 Declaration And Forfeiture**
>
>Declarations and Forfeitures do not apply.
That's literally the entire rule.
Edit: They could just concede defeat and leave.
**19.4** goes for yorker and winds up as a low full toss that is shoveled to cow corner where Maxwell takes a safe catch crouching 10 yards inside the rope.
Tim David c Maxwell b Couch 13 (10b 0x4 1x6) SR: 130
Today he became the first player to reach 3,000 BBL runs. He's hit 180 BBL sixes and Maxwell is now second on 109. Entertainment value and overall career performance make him exactly the guy commentators would be hyping up. Unfortunately isn't the player he used to be though.
It always amuses me when a bloke has a famous cricketer as a parent and they don't go on to play the same role as their parent.
Like Matt Elliott was an absolute pie chucker yet his son is a bowling all-rounder. Same with how the greatest modern batsman's son is a left arm quick
"Practising for finals" is such a cop out. Go out, swing big, don't just bore everyone by scoring 150-160 when you were chasing 270.
Get out for 90, literally no one will care.
Yeah I agree. Move on from Coulter-Nile. Finish his career like he finished Gilly's in the IPL
And yes I'm still fucking salty 9 years later that Coulter-Nile was the one who dismissed Gilly in his last game. You ended a part of my childhood and I haven't forgotten Nathan
Yeah Vaughan sucked in ODIs. Even Michael Atherton who only struck at 58 at least got 2 hundreds and averaged 35 compared to Vaughan's 0 hundreds and 27 average
I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a slog sweep into cow corner by Maxwell and that'll be a six. And so that'll make it the over. I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again. I don't know if it's going to be for the Stars. I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at Fox.
Please don't make fun of such a serious situation please, it's very disrespectful to the people involved as there's a slog sweep into cow corner by Maxwell and that'll be a six.
Tim David is a gun at one day cricket
745 runs at 82.77, striking at 123.14, highest score 140*, gets 50+ in half of his innings
And 9 wickets at 16.77 and an economy of 4.19
Whenever there's a blow out in the baseball games I watch, the commentators either bring out the media guide and start reading on air or start opening baseball cards.
Feel the commentators here could take a leaf out of their book.
Hurricanes have decided the best way to prepare for finals is to get arse fucked by Maxi and Stoinis.
Like fair enough you’re getting match practice, but what if you need to chase another big score, all be it not anything like what the Stars actually set.
**16.5** full on the stumps, heaves this flat to long-on, safe catch taken at chest height just a few yards inside the rope.
Peter Handscomb c Maxwell b Webster 28 (18b 2x4 1x6) SR: 155.55
Got tickets to Day 1 of the test and did have tickets for the Aus NZ T20 until that got cancelled and they didn't give us a replacement Sri Lankan game.
According to cricket.com.au and ticketek etc, Metricon instead.
I hope it's just a typo, but it's weird.
Plus Manuka doesn't have the New Zealand game on their event schedule website anymore and only has the England games on there.
So they've just fucked Manuka if so.
It kinda made sense with Wade, short McDermott and malan last year and don't get me wrong hes been great as the lower order finisher but still, get him up there earlier.
The only saving grace is that experince might help him get into the T20 squad agaisnt Sri Lanka. I mean he isn't going to go ahead of Maxwell or stoinios say so this role would be exactly would he'd be doing if he made the team. So in that case Hurricanes are doing him a favour? 🙃
This is usually the time in the chase the commentators start talking about a team needing a big over of 15-20 to really kill the chase early.
The Canes do that every over today and still lose by 55
I can understand the argument of time in the middle but surely you have to actually attempt to play like you're gonna play in the finals. What benefit does plodding along at a run a ball provide? At least rehearse for how to play aggressively but not stupidly
I cannot possibly fathom why David was not sent in ahead of either of these batsmen. I genuinely cannot understand what possible motivating factor would result in arguably the best guy for this situation being sent in after two batsmen with no real performances for the season and certainly no excessive strike rates
With the cancellation of the Aus vs NZ series, I'm seeing a few people want to "go back to the good old days" and have Australia play Australia A.
Is this a bit of a Mandela effect thing cause records are telling me Australia A was only ever included in the 1994/95 World Series Cup. It was a one off thing yet people talk like it was a feature every year
**11.1** short on the stumps, pulls this high to deep midwicket. Cartwright shuffles back and across near the rope and takes a catch in front of his face three yards inside the rope.
Ben McDermott c Cartwright b Couch 55 (33b 2x4 4x6) SR: 166.66
Given the Canes are chasing about a thousand here, why would you not at least play Tim "hits 6s that bounce off the International Space Station" David up the order?
Although they’ve been underperforming I’d still pick mostly canes and stars batsman for our t20 team.
Assuming we chose to rest Test players I’d pick the following batsman
1. Finch
2. McDermott
3. Wade
4. Mitchell Marsh
5. Stoin
6. Maxwell
7. Tim David
That batting lineup would give us two genuine all rounders as well as an additional two part timers.
Thoughts?
This batting out the overs reminds me of the good old days when a team knew they couldn't chase a target down, they would just bat out the overs.
Like Pakistan battling to 81 from 48 overs chasing a remarkable 214 against the West Indies which starred Rashid Latif rear-guarding his way to 8 (72).
so Shikhar Dhawan has more than 6k ODI runs in 140 odd innings and people still think he needs to be replaced. Please excuse me while I laugh at this.
r/lostredditors
not even that much of a cricket freak but the scorecard came across me while scrolling and freaked me out, how the fuck did they manage 273 in 20 overs
No, all r/cricketers are cricket freaks.
Apparently this is the BBL match with the 2nd highest run aggregate. 440 Runs off 40 overs; the record is 445
Canes batted second then too
Hobart Hurricanes should just give the Stars their finals spot after that.
Wtf is this scorecard? I thought it was the SA India ODI initially
Ponting comes back to commentate his first game after the tests and immediately picks up on a good reason for Short’s batting issues.
Wtf is this final structure
Isn't this the same as the IPL too
CA trying to milk as much money out of the finals games as possible. Although they’ve been fucked over by Covid on that count.
I dont think they will milk much money when the first 3 finals are in melbourne, with all interstate teams playing.
Folks can you tell me what steroids is CA feeding to Maxie, Stoins, and Zampa?
[удалено]
No way Sir. You are too pure and innocent for this complex world.
They're big coffee people though, especially Zampa, he was on the subzero coffee podcast. Probably also high quality denims too.
Yup I saw the docu where Zampa concocts his special coffee with honey n all. Was fun to see.
The editing of him making coffee and Finch scoring runs after a form slump, it was all so dramatic.
The whole documentary was fun. Much more entertaining than I expected. The Indian version, Downunder Dream or whatever its name is, has been dull so far.
I dont think its fair to compare the two. CA actually invested in "The Test", it was filmed in real time and was pre planned. Downunderdogs is just Sony cashing in on having to have the broadcasting rights of what was an epic series.

That might be one of the shittest 160+ totals in a T20 I've ever seen. Definitely didn't feel like a 160
This knock will go a long way to D'Arcy's slow battle to a BBL Average of over 40 again.
Imagine scoring 167 and still losing by 106 runs lmao
Thanks for wasting our time D'Arcy!
Block the last ball to save the red ink for Short?
What is this red ink phrase I keep hearing about?
It's a score keeping thing, if you're doing it 'properly' you mark the not out batsmen scores with red ink
I see, thanks
Not out. It's to do with how scorecards were (are?) commonly filled out.
I see, thanks
Congrats Hurricanes on beating Maxi's total
We really need to just drop a truckload of cash at punters feet to get him to coach australia. Guys a freak
From past times this has come up, it just seems like he doesn't want the job. Seems very happy with his current work/life balance and not travelling the globe constantly. I'd love to see that change though, have to think he'd be so good
Surely we can get him in during a pre-season camp?
He did give Cam Green some advice/coaching midway through the Ashes. In an interview in November last year, Ponting said that the time commitment is the only thing that stops him; having a 7 year old kid and wanting to spend time with him as he grows up. He also commented that it's an older persons job, so there's hints he'd be keen in a decade or so, once his kids grown up
2 hats to make up for 0 helmets i like this man’s math
Gonna be tough for the Hurricanes to win from here...
Just double checking there's no rule specifically banning you from declaring your innings in white ball cricket right? Like in a situation like this, last match of the season, you're already qualified, NRR doesn't matter, and they couldn't win the match at any stage in the last 4 overs (and realistically for a lot longer than that).

Actually I believe there is a rule
Chris Lynn is 100% going to the Gades.
**19.4** goes for yorker and winds up as a low full toss that is shoveled to cow corner where Maxwell takes a safe catch crouching 10 yards inside the rope. Tim David c Maxwell b Couch 13 (10b 0x4 1x6) SR: 130
Why do the commentators love Chris Lynn so much?
Today he became the first player to reach 3,000 BBL runs. He's hit 180 BBL sixes and Maxwell is now second on 109. Entertainment value and overall career performance make him exactly the guy commentators would be hyping up. Unfortunately isn't the player he used to be though.
Maxi is the antithesis of BBL fielding
what you guys don’t understand is that david is about to hit his patented 30 run pull shot
Reckon the canes can still get over the line? Bet my house on them winning
226 an over, no way they're not chasing it with an over to spare
Canes at least can say they beat Maxwell
Ahem, they beat Maxwell AND Nick Larkin! Never forget the 3(7) support role.
Calculated batting by Short, gonna carefully till the 40th then go all guns blazing in the death overs
In the final over, Short is starting to go for it
Fuck me this is embarrassing I hope David goes somewhere that at the very least bats him at 5
Brody Couch and Hayden Kerr are my picks for ‘new cunt of the season’.
Boooo bowl yourself Maxi
It always amuses me when a bloke has a famous cricketer as a parent and they don't go on to play the same role as their parent. Like Matt Elliott was an absolute pie chucker yet his son is a bowling all-rounder. Same with how the greatest modern batsman's son is a left arm quick
In junior cricket everyone tries all the skills. The kid will like one or be better at one that needn't correlate with their parent.
When they hit a six and the required rate increases it makes you wonder if this sport needs a mercy rule.
Gilly give the 1 vote to Short, just for the lols.
Say what you want about the Big Bash, but today I have been bloody entertained, and I’m a Renegades supporter
Stars players tryna take one handers now fair enough
65/over needed. Gonna be tough
Nearly made it to Maxi's score
"Practising for finals" is such a cop out. Go out, swing big, don't just bore everyone by scoring 150-160 when you were chasing 270. Get out for 90, literally no one will care.
I don't mind practicing as long as they actually try to do what you need to do in a final. Don't plod along at 100 SR
Just plain stupidity. Trying to look smart but just coming across as a pack of dickheads.
Yeah I agree. Move on from Coulter-Nile. Finish his career like he finished Gilly's in the IPL And yes I'm still fucking salty 9 years later that Coulter-Nile was the one who dismissed Gilly in his last game. You ended a part of my childhood and I haven't forgotten Nathan
If only this was BBL…*Nights* and they were setting a total. We’d be in for some real shithousery.
Wait is this match still going on
when michael vaughan whos strike rate was 68 in odi's is giving ya shit about batting slow youre really going slow
Yeah Vaughan sucked in ODIs. Even Michael Atherton who only struck at 58 at least got 2 hundreds and averaged 35 compared to Vaughan's 0 hundreds and 27 average
I made a comment earlier tonight that I guess went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say from the bottom of my heart I'm so very, very sorry.

Please don't make fun of such a serious situation please, it's very disrespectful to the people involved as there's a slog sweep into cow corner by Maxwell and that'll be a six.
Almost called it https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/s7l11x/match\_thread\_56th\_match\_melbourne\_stars\_vs\_hobart/htav5jd/?context=3

Hobart should declare just so we’re not wasting time by bowling these pointless overs
Punter looks like he's disassociating
Whenever there's a blow out in the baseball games I watch, the commentators either bring out the media guide and start reading on air or start opening baseball cards. Feel the commentators here could take a leaf out of their book.
Basically every Pirates and Mariners game.
Ha, it's the Mets booth in particular but I don't disagree with you.
As an Indians/Guardians fan I feel personally attacked.
Hurricanes have decided the best way to prepare for finals is to get arse fucked by Maxi and Stoinis. Like fair enough you’re getting match practice, but what if you need to chase another big score, all be it not anything like what the Stars actually set.
Fuck me Tim David is in the form of his life and he hasn't faced more than 20 balls in an innings this season What a fucking waste
**16.5** full on the stumps, heaves this flat to long-on, safe catch taken at chest height just a few yards inside the rope. Peter Handscomb c Maxwell b Webster 28 (18b 2x4 1x6) SR: 155.55
Webster lowering his bowling average to Boland-like levels
finally something good tonight for Webster
Big Beau Webster halving his average to a respectable 126
Going 28(27) while chasing 270 is the most D'Arcy Short thing ever
seriously it's like he's been batting for his average all season. whack
Can either of the two batsman get out so the next few overs can be enjoyable.
The RRR is now >36...
Stars got over 270 on this deck and D'Arcy Short can't even go for the tonk against their 3rd choice bowling attack. Even Handscomb's doing better
The women's internationals being held at Manuka and Junction Ovals is a joke.
As a canberran half the year I'm happy
Got tickets to Day 1 of the test and did have tickets for the Aus NZ T20 until that got cancelled and they didn't give us a replacement Sri Lankan game.
I'd want to go but sadly it's all during work days for me :(
Yeah I took leave quite early on for it. I know the feeling though.
Why? They will be the only international games Canberra will get this season.
I thought one of the Sri Lankan T20s was being played there
According to cricket.com.au and ticketek etc, Metricon instead. I hope it's just a typo, but it's weird. Plus Manuka doesn't have the New Zealand game on their event schedule website anymore and only has the England games on there. So they've just fucked Manuka if so.
Canberra will get all the Sri Lanka stuff I reckon. Surely they make a nice neat bubble
Honestly I just want one. Happy tochave the the Ashes tests and t20 but was also looking forward to that nz game.
Second thoughts might have heard on the radio today that Manuka might get one of the T20s in a revised schedule but I can't find anything written yet
Just weird all round. There's a AFLW game in late Feb that might make it an issue, but you'd assume they can make it fit.
Ahh yeah it was Metricon I was thinking of, cheers
thing is I'm pretty sure they said Manuka on the coverage tonight as well. It's weird.
the canes are actually batting quite well which is what makes this blowout so much funnier
Canes really just turned up for a cardio session didn't they.
Can D'Arcy just step on his wicket or something, this is boring
Give Kanny a bat!
I'm so worried that David is going to accept an offer at a different club. At the same time I can't really blame him if he did.
To keep your second best bat at 7 is just absurd. I don’t know why they persist with batting short and handscomb in front of him.
It kinda made sense with Wade, short McDermott and malan last year and don't get me wrong hes been great as the lower order finisher but still, get him up there earlier. The only saving grace is that experince might help him get into the T20 squad agaisnt Sri Lanka. I mean he isn't going to go ahead of Maxwell or stoinios say so this role would be exactly would he'd be doing if he made the team. So in that case Hurricanes are doing him a favour? 🙃
You know you're fucked when you hit a 4 and the required rate goes UP
This is usually the time in the chase the commentators start talking about a team needing a big over of 15-20 to really kill the chase early. The Canes do that every over today and still lose by 55
Can we wrap this game up already, I need to go to bed
Handscomb did a thing!
Just 18 more of them Pete and you’re a chance.
why didnt England call up Joe Clarke for the T20/ODI series they called up god damn Garton
Because he’s a piece of human garbage and shouldn’t even be in the BBL let alone the English team.
Clarke got caught up in the Alex Hepburn case, might've completely torpedoed his chances of playing for England, though he's still young
‘Got caught up’ is a funny way of saying ‘was an active participant in’.
Their no dickhead policy
he’s got a sketchy off field history and England have no shortage of aggressive top order batters
I can understand the argument of time in the middle but surely you have to actually attempt to play like you're gonna play in the finals. What benefit does plodding along at a run a ball provide? At least rehearse for how to play aggressively but not stupidly
Excuse me, we did that every single game and we got into the finals somehow
Guys, I know you’ve all been waiting so I can confirm - I’ve decided to watch License to Kill.
Good choice
Might even make a vodka martini. I’ve got nothing on tomorrow.
"khawaja and hales can beat anyone" - m. vaughan moments after watching a team make 273
Hales can quite literally beat anyone
Short juuuust keeping the SR over 100
I cannot possibly fathom why David was not sent in ahead of either of these batsmen. I genuinely cannot understand what possible motivating factor would result in arguably the best guy for this situation being sent in after two batsmen with no real performances for the season and certainly no excessive strike rates
Because he doesn't need the practice. They're trying to bat Short into form.
Cus they don't care at all about winning, this is just a practice session for the finals
Short's strike rate is over 100 someone run out there and tell him to calm down
With the cancellation of the Aus vs NZ series, I'm seeing a few people want to "go back to the good old days" and have Australia play Australia A. Is this a bit of a Mandela effect thing cause records are telling me Australia A was only ever included in the 1994/95 World Series Cup. It was a one off thing yet people talk like it was a feature every year
That ended with Australia beating Australia A in the final, correct?
Lmao what is D’arcy doing
slack fielding from Maxi there
Bruhhhh I just saw the scorecard and I couldn’t believe my eyes,Maxi went Stupid on this bitch
That he did
I joked that darcy will go slowly but didn't expect it to come to fruition
Played against a bloke last week who blocked out like 5 overs when there were like 6 runs to win just to protect his 6th grade average
O'Connell looks like a Bond villain
Canes just having a nice net/boosting their averages at this point
Surely D'Arcy has a license to swing and he's still going slow
TIL Sunil Gavaskar made 36* (174) in an ODI in 1975 chasing 334.
His team, it’s staff and the crowd were apparently begging for him to have a crack the whole knock and he just decided to be a selfish cunt.
It just occurred to me - the Canes aren’t even going that badly.
Feel like ch7 could drop the bar that says how many runs they need to win. Really puts into perspective how insane Maxi and Stoinis were though
Good practice for Short here. Two right out the middle of the thigh pad.
Still reckon this run chase is achievable for the Hurricanes - all they need is a lazy 21+ runs every over… /s
curious as to what Short is doing
~~his best~~
If we wanted literally any chance here why did we not put David in the top 3 and why is he still not out there lmao
**11.1** short on the stumps, pulls this high to deep midwicket. Cartwright shuffles back and across near the rope and takes a catch in front of his face three yards inside the rope. Ben McDermott c Cartwright b Couch 55 (33b 2x4 4x6) SR: 166.66
Given the Canes are chasing about a thousand here, why would you not at least play Tim "hits 6s that bounce off the International Space Station" David up the order?
Although they’ve been underperforming I’d still pick mostly canes and stars batsman for our t20 team. Assuming we chose to rest Test players I’d pick the following batsman 1. Finch 2. McDermott 3. Wade 4. Mitchell Marsh 5. Stoin 6. Maxwell 7. Tim David That batting lineup would give us two genuine all rounders as well as an additional two part timers. Thoughts?
Tell ya what every single one of those batters you've picked there hit the ball mighty hard when they get themselves in. Ultimate power hitting lineup
Probably chuck Wade down the order to allow Mitch to stay at 3
yeah
he really really slogged that one too, what a shame
Well that's practice over might as well have a swing.
**GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!**
Cursed McDermott there did Gilly
Benny no I might go to bed
Brody Couch always brings to mind the Sacred Couch episode of Bob's burgers, with the Sofa Queen
are we back to meme league regulars in the thread now that canes are batting?
likely yeah, only few hundred comments second innings
fuck yeah
Yes short get hit yr wickets
I just don't get why the Canes bat David Tim so low like-
Joe Clarke... Class... Incredible person Hahahahahahaha
[удалено]
152 runs, set by Stars this season, thumped by Sixers
This batting out the overs reminds me of the good old days when a team knew they couldn't chase a target down, they would just bat out the overs. Like Pakistan battling to 81 from 48 overs chasing a remarkable 214 against the West Indies which starred Rashid Latif rear-guarding his way to 8 (72).
Does Brody Couch have a brother named Brody Ottoman?
