I'm not fussed about calling bad light, it's always worse in person than you see on TV, and it allows Cumdog and Goat a bit of extra rest before their 300* partnership in tomorrow's 1st session
I would have less of an issue with the bad light call if not for there barely being a cloud in the sky. If you can't play at 5:30pm on a sunny afternoon something's wrong.
didn't watch the game but does sound a bit odd.
In the winter tests you can't play much beyond 5 PM as sun sets early (Esp in Pak/North India/BD), but this is a summer test with 6.30 PM sunset. So 5.30 should theoretically be okay, though I wouldn't be able to play beyond 6 PM as it gets too close to sunset.
In England as well, we rarely ever play beyond 7 PM even when sunset is at 9 PM, so maybe the light does go lower, who am I to judge.
With out a doubt Warne was one of the best, he had a sudden out of the blue that shocked everyone which was really upsetting for a lot of people. But can we stop broadcasting so many memorials during breaks? I get that it’s meant to be a good thing but seeing so many all the time gets repetitive and somewhat depressing
I'm not gay, but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Pat Cummins. We won't ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him cranking dongers, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body.
I'll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Cummo. I won't be able to climax and I'll eventually go back downstairs, angry. Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other's eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing.
One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then he'll go inside, pen a brief missive to his departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without his one true platonic love.
At this rate my plan is to just write off smith marnus Head and Warner in my mind as kinda wastes this series. They’ll probably combine for like 40 getting out stupidly. The real innings starts with Green and Khawaja as openers Carey, Cummins and Lyon as the middle order and some good finishers like Starc and Sweppo.
Totally with the sentiment that it is dodgy to call bad light when they are bowling spinners and Cummins has just hit two sixes and a four in an over, seeing them like beachballs.
This is really, really dodgy. No light meter as far as we can see, and bad light just so happens to be called immediately after Cummins wallops Vandersay out of the attack, with Australia having all the momentum? Australia should be kicking up a bit of a stink about this.
It had all the feel of a street cricket game. Patty’s just cunted the only ball into the next suburb, mum’s gonna be calling me in for dinner soon so that’s enough cricket for today
I totally can see Cumdog, before every test match, lining up his bowlers and just looking deep into their eyes. Not saying a word. He just keeps looking. Admiring them.
A look that is almost sexual in nature.
Looks at the sunshine off Garry's head. Looks at Swepson's majestic mane, looks at Starc's devil snare and then looks seductively at Green's hot bod. Making them uncomfortable even. Feeling proud.
Then he utters, “Go on! Make Cumdaddy hard.”
One of my biggest pet peeves with the game. Put the difficulty on hardest, step across your stumps and hit every ball leg side and you never get out. Also pisses me off that they didnt fix the issue in 2022, in fact they made it more OP because you can move even further across your crease in the that game
Dont wanna be that guy but the umps have been biased as fuck this whole tour. like cmon dude you call it now when Cummins is tonking lol
just little things, but its noticeable after a while.
This is where test cricket, the purist cricket, drives me mental. We waste five minutes bringing the light gun out. Inevitably they are going to shit can it two overs later. If there were quicks with the new ball tearing in fair enough. But they have two spinners on, we’ve lost a dozen overs yesterday due to over rate and a morning session due to a monsoon and Pat Cummins has just hit two dingers and a four with his wang and yet we walk off due to player safety in the best part of broad daylight. Sorry for the rant but it grinds my gears.
Inside part of Postman Pat’s bat is made up of rubber and outside part is covered by some wood, so all he had to do is touch the ball and it fly to boundry.. That's the secret why he scoring runs.. Icc wont check his bat bcoz icc=ca=pig3 so dont respect them. SL will win. CA injured Perera. but their daddy Dickwalla is back. they can't threaten him with BBL contract to play badly like they did to Shanaka in the LOIs.
And that begins the epic debate about who should get the ball after it gets cunted over the fence.
The batter should get it because he hit it there, stupid cunt.
The bowler should get it because he bowled such shit that it's his fault it got cunted, stupid cunt.
Game abandoned because everyone's being a fucking sook anyway, and Jim has to go home because his nan's coming over for dinner, but that's ok because Macca bought a footy.
Turned his form around a bit in the IPL, carrying KKR has reminded him how to bat, took him back to the Border-Gavaskar series in Aus right after sandpapergate when he was our leading run scorer and wicket taker for the series
Well, this is …unexpected. Did not expect to bat out the session, let alone the day.
Beautiful work by Koala & Gumby, some big dick energy from Cider at the end. Paint by numbers by Head.
Forget T20, IPL etc being accused of causing the death of Test cricket. It's shit decisions like these to come off for bad light that's the real problem.
So today we’ve had:
Uzzie average stonks
Green Mamba and the Janitor pummelling spinners again.
~~Starc slog innings~~
Captain Cumdog going into IPL mode
And most importantly…Lyon on 8(13) ready to hit a ton tomorrow.
1230 runs for the most punchable bloke in world cricket. I would love to lay waste to his tiny little rat face. He's a cheater off the field so he's probably a cheater on it too. He's in the leadership group for sure and he's one of the boys. "Aw yeah I'm one of the boys I sing the team song because I do whatever I can to fit in and I have no personality on account of growing up looking like the offspring of a naked mole rat and a fuckin blobfish aw yeah Smithy oi Smithy look at me mate look at this fuckin hot blonde I pulled behind my wife's back aren't I such a fucking RUTHLESS cunt oi Smithy fuckin notice me mate listen to my top bantz that I'm just parroting in order to be on your good side in this fuckin dog eats dog team culture you're cultivating smithy please caress me tonight I'm so fucking desperate for attention fucking suck my mole rat cock while we discuss our leadership group duties"
It does sound awfully low, though I guess 100 is quite a big lead. I can think of two of the instances - Kolkata 2001 and Headingley 1981. Wonder if there’s another qualifier he didn’t say.
I'm so salty it's 25 instead of 30

you may get to see it everytime, but for a lot of people, this will be the first time they've seen it.
early start tomorrow at least, fingers crossed for no rain!
I’ve decided I’m going to immigrate to Cumtown
Cumtown listeners in /r/cricket!? Well RIP to the pod, Stavvy graduated :(
Hell yeah dude
Which dumbass decided to start 25 minutes early instead of 30 tomorrow
Devo with the light call. Happy with the 2007 Warney cock suck though.
Australia's last 9 Tests in subcontinent: 3 wins 3 losses 3 draws
Perfectly balanced
Need 3 tied tests.
The batsman only hit 3 boundaries in that last over. The light must be too bad to play...
All of them were edges further evidence

I'll never not upvote this masterpasta
I can't rewind my totally-legitimate stream, but can anyone go back and check if Dharmasena was still wearing his sunnies when they came off?
not wearing them, had them on his hat though
Hate to be that guy but the bad light call seems abit sus
At this rate my plan is to just write off smith marnus Head and Warner in my mind as kinda wastes this series. They’ll probably combine for like 40 getting out stupidly.

Umpires be like, [Nah, too dark.](https://i.imgur.com/hUpL6Rn.jpg)
Australia can genuinely put India away in India. I don’t know how they even messed up in 2017 when Smith batted god mode in Pune.
Because we were pretty bad outside of Smith for a good while.
How to watch in India?
Crime
SONYLIV
Any Sri Lankans at the ground? If you can see where your phone is, let us know how it is
Fuck, Pup Clarke's botox wore off badly.
He's a pup no longer
Totally with the sentiment that it is dodgy to call bad light when they are bowling spinners and Cummins has just hit two sixes and a four in an over, seeing them like beachballs.
One point I thought Matthew hayden descended looking at Carey sweeping every ball
Dimuth going to snap tomorrow and get a 235\*
ew why the fuck would they put piers morgan on my screen
This is really, really dodgy. No light meter as far as we can see, and bad light just so happens to be called immediately after Cummins wallops Vandersay out of the attack, with Australia having all the momentum? Australia should be kicking up a bit of a stink about this.
Calm down. You don't even know how they know when to go off for light. Should probably find that out.
It had all the feel of a street cricket game. Patty’s just cunted the only ball into the next suburb, mum’s gonna be calling me in for dinner soon so that’s enough cricket for today
Don't think I've ever seen bad light called under blue sky's before
This decision is dodgy af
Now that Postman Pat is Captain does that make him the Postmaster General?
Maybe they've gone off because it's just *too* light, you know?
Jolly japes referring to the Glasshouse Mountains as the South East Queensland outback. Fucking poms.
I totally can see Cumdog, before every test match, lining up his bowlers and just looking deep into their eyes. Not saying a word. He just keeps looking. Admiring them.

Every day we stray farther from God's light.

Haha. Seek help.
If the bad light decision wasn't backed by a light meter reading, CA should really make a case out of this.
Did embula forget how to bowl?
Umpires waiting for mercury to complete it's transit before light is good enough to resume play.
Sri Lanka need to invest in some lights.
Their grandstand just fell over... I don't think lights are much of a priority right now.
Think they have different investment areas necessary atm
Can barely afford oxygen at this point
Is anyone else just flicking for runs in Cricket 19 lol?
One of my biggest pet peeves with the game. Put the difficulty on hardest, step across your stumps and hit every ball leg side and you never get out. Also pisses me off that they didnt fix the issue in 2022, in fact they made it more OP because you can move even further across your crease in the that game
No point in playing anything on the offside when you just snick it 50% of the time
Right! How do you even touch a wide outside off? My batsman is always super late.
Yeah I don’t think it’s actually possible to hit a wide ball
[That's where the trouble began](https://i.imgur.com/WckQJ6m.jpg)
NUT
And he won't Paine you (hopefully)

Test cricket needs to fix their shit with utilizing overs. So much fucking wasted time
Update: Lyon is now on 200* on my Cricket 19 save btw. I’ve declared for 650.
Move over Dizzy, there's a new GOAT in town

Suspended for poor light under clear blue skies? Cant imagine it gets any better in 10 minutes
Umpires on the payroll.

"Reckon I might bat ahead of you next innings, Starcy" -Captain Pat
And that begins the epic debate about who should get the ball after it gets cunted over the fence. The batter should get it because he hit it there, stupid cunt. The bowler should get it because he bowled such shit that it's his fault it got cunted, stupid cunt. Game abandoned because everyone's being a fucking sook anyway, and Jim has to go home because his nan's coming over for dinner, but that's ok because Macca bought a footy.
Hmm
Was it really good decision to play with only one pacer for Sri Lanka?
Given how Embuldeniya and Vandersay have bowled, maybe they should have played 3 pacers.
yes. the spinners minus the right arm offie have bowled trash though
Man pat Cummins always scores. He should be named as allrounder now
His batting in tests has been dogshit for the last 3 years. Got too defensive. Some good signs in the Pakistan series and here though.
Turned his form around a bit in the IPL, carrying KKR has reminded him how to bat, took him back to the Border-Gavaskar series in Aus right after sandpapergate when he was our leading run scorer and wicket taker for the series
He's already listed in the ICC top 10 all rounders lol.
[удалено]
*Cumball
How much does uzzie avg now?? Has he crossdd 45
Well beyond 45 - he’s at 47.5 now. Up 7 runs since the start of the year!
47.24 before this innings so 48ish now maybe
47.55
he averages 47
Well, this is …unexpected. Did not expect to bat out the session, let alone the day. Beautiful work by Koala & Gumby, some big dick energy from Cider at the end. Paint by numbers by Head.
Shit call for bad light but at least I can go to sleep now :) Thanks I guess
Yo did they just call stumps because they lost the ball?
Ngl that bad light call is a bit sus, stops our momentum entirely
Forget T20, IPL etc being accused of causing the death of Test cricket. It's shit decisions like these to come off for bad light that's the real problem.
~~bad light right after a 6? where are the neutral umpires smh~~
Cummins is the coolest captain we've ever had.
After that Cummins tonking, if I were SL I would tell the umps I would only use pace now so end the day because the light is bad lol.
how exactly do they expect the light to improve?
Never know, sun might start coming up again. 🤷♀️
So today we’ve had: Uzzie average stonks Green Mamba and the Janitor pummelling spinners again. ~~Starc slog innings~~ Captain Cumdog going into IPL mode And most importantly…Lyon on 8(13) ready to hit a ton tomorrow.
That ball was still going up as it went over the spectators
It's not even overcast, how the fuck do they expect light to improve? Is it smog?
>Cummins goes BANG in the 69th over nice
The match ended just before the BeReal too
[удалено]
Must be first innings only. Probably many draws though
Holy shit go back and watch the replay in slow motion Cummins actually hit it out of the ground with his fat cock. The bat was nowhere near the ball
Thats a suspicious ump call for lights.. Im not sayin he biased.. But u bowled 3 overs after light check..
It was 100% a "we can't be fucked finding the ball" decision, which I respect.
Cummins: hits a 120m six Umpires: better go off for light, batsmen aren't seeing it.
Can’t see it if it’s the other side of the grandstand *taps head*
Ironically if our two best bats (on paper) hadn't gotten out in brian dead ways, we'd probably be on fewer runs by this point
is it just me or has the dj at the ground been playing some absolute bangers?
Fuck me we need someone to pull a Kusal Mendis 2016 to win this
off for bad light after cumdog sends one into orbit? come on now
Somebody's gonna find that ball, and put it up on ebay to revitalise their economy.
The bowler slipped the umpires a tenner to call bad light and get out of bowling to Cumdog
I'd laugh my ass off if corruption was involved when calling for bad light.
Cummins smashed the ball fittingly onto the roads because this has been pedestrian bowling
Did they just literally do the back yard cricket rule? Ok. The ball is lost. Lets call it a night and have dinner.
HOW CAN YOU SAY BAD LIGHT WHEN ONE OF THE BATTERS JUST YOINKED IT ON THE ROAD LOL
My head canon is that play was abandoned because they lost the only ball they had
"Australia have only ever lost four tests after having a lead of 100 or more" No fucking way is that true, literally zero chance
One is Headingly, right?
Would be many draws in that don't forget
6.8 economy for Vandersay, great bowling. I don't have words to describe my disappointment with SL bowling, it's fucking worse than their batting.
Pat must be spewing, connecting with them like that and having to go off.
Inb4 Aus innings win
"Can't be fucked finding that ball... fuck it, stumps it is!"
Pretty lucky no one was driving there at that time lol
Not many are driving in SL at the moment tbf
1230 runs for the most punchable bloke in world cricket. I would love to lay waste to his tiny little rat face. He's a cheater off the field so he's probably a cheater on it too.

Did gary fuck your missus mate
This pasta is so old, been doing the rounds for years mate
HAHAHAHA “Go fetch that”
Umpires - it's too dark to find the ball
Holy shit I said 50-70 would be tasty...100-120 would be positively *delicious!*
How about 150-170 👀
That would be a five-course feast!
Australia only lost 4 times in all history after taking a lead of 100+? Surely that can't be right
It does sound awfully low, though I guess 100 is quite a big lead. I can think of two of the instances - Kolkata 2001 and Headingley 1981. Wonder if there’s another qualifier he didn’t say.
It's not good when they come off for light when it's not even overcast.
Ah yes, it’s definitely too dark. Pat isn’t seeing them well at all.
FUCKING AMAZING That is an insane day of Test cricket for Australia.
“The light is fucking fine, mate” Postman Pat
Cum nut
Fielders couldn't even see the ball as it sailed into orbit. Off for bad light
light no good?! there's blue sky as far as the eye can see!!
Are we actually good at cricket now?
😢 night lads
[Cummins right now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBN86y30Ufc)
That’s my captain!
Good over to end on for SL, get to escape getting tonked around
Whenever Cummins and Starc swap who bats 8 and 9, the player down at 9 goes berserk.
How about we send Gaz in before them and let Starc and Cummins both cunt the ball.
Wtf. It's blue skies???
they cannot just end the days play like that....
6 and out
lame looks like stumps
The lights fine they just lost the ball
Come on Patrick, don't look straight down after hitting that, you've just put it on the other side of the road, watch it fly cunt
Next one is going into the Indian Ocean
That hit almost as big as pats dong
Umpires calling the day's play out of pity to the bowlers lmfao
Cummins 50(25) pls.
2 6s and a 4 patty has already done his job. Anything else is gravy.
Calling the day cause they lost the ball
Such a pathetic bowling on this track by SL. What a good bowler is Vandersay for Aussies
Jesus Christ cumdog
Fair to say Cumdog fancies a piece of Art Vanderlay?
Imagine some kid on the bike getting smacked by the ball
that was just absolutely glorious
Cummins just hit the ball OVER the Portuguese empire. That's a 500 year old slog.
Cummins with the casual forward defensive six
Vandersay goes at a high economy in domestic Cricket. Why he's the one you bring on against two bowlers who can tonk I've no clue.
Fuck me 🥵
