THE GREATEST GAME IN HISTORY
/cric/ ENGLAND WIN THE WORLD CUP
Technicalities are my favourite kind of win
Let's all enjoy this last /cric/ thread before we go back to pretending cricket doesn't exist for next 4 years
But it’s the ashes soon
I wish domestic cricket was bigger than international. Like football.
We didn't win, delete this its embarrassing
so the villain win at last ;)
India is the true champion
broke the 12 tin barrier
might call it yeah I think so
Wat they should do in domestic cricket is make one days as the main league then make first class amd 20/20 into cup competition. All first class should alao be 5 days.
Richie McCaw, Lorde, Brenton Tarrant
Your boys took one hell of a beating
India maybe the true champions but Pakistan won our hearts
although the scores were tied, NZ is the real winner because I don't like england
isn't domestic cricket between counties?
Why are these dumb cunt brits acting like having cricket on free to air isn’t commercially viable. There’s still enough people interested, it only needs to get better ratings than last night’s re runs of Crystal Maze and QI to succeed, of course it will
The only issue is paying for the broadcast rights
While IPL and BBL have their charm, I still prefer the competition being between countries than some rich ass clubs hijacking all top athletes
Oh long Johnson
Ohhhh long Johnson
Yes. Why ask this
For me, it was Bangladesh.
because no one cares about what county they are from
Hometown pride is far bigger
noooo think of the money that the ECB would miss out on having to put it on free-to-air. sky's money is the heartbeat of cricket in this country, who had even heard of cricket before sky bought it in 2006? exactly. they have introduced far more fans (better fans, who can afford a sky subscription) to the sport with their high quality broadcasting and punditry. Sky getting the rights was the best thing that ever happened to cricket in this country
exciting/important/friendly reminder that the test championship (read: test world cup) begins this year.
if you don't know about this, it is essentially a test match league that will go on over the course of 3 years with the two top teams playing a decisive series at the end of it. so if you are sad by the cwc ending just know that BEST cricket finally actually counts for something big (for non english/aussies anyway), so we are ensured comfy cricky for a long time to come.
England vs Ireland next week lads
Yhfs hmm
so true
hate Meghan Markle the yank bitch hope she and Harry divorce soon or I will be voting.for a republic
Yorkshiremen do. It's why you get stuff like "England's Stuart Broad" but "England and Yorkshire's Joe Root" from commentators (and not just Vaughan and Boycott).
Are poms so fucking dense these days that they can’t understand synecdoche
Was playing some poker a few hours ago mates. Big 3000.00US pot at stake. Board was A, K, 7, 2, 6. Both of us flip over AK! To my surprise the dealer pushed the pot toward me. WTF? She said, "you win because you threw your chips in faster." My opponent, who I think was a Frog, was seething to no end.
Love being English, lads.

think you overestimate the state of uk cricket. You can literally make the same interested claim for any other sport in the uk. Its arbitrary. Theres not enough reason for a tv channel to suddenly decide cricket is what we're gonna put on.
I also guarantee you that fucking countdown will have higher views than a weekday test match.
what was the cricket sticky? Did England get one recently?
btfo
for me its not caring about hoc as I literally never hear about it or care for this "rivalry"
the fuckin final last night m8
we got more posts than the wogball euro final three years ago

Why is ICC so shit lads? Cricket would easily be more popular if they took a LITTLE initiative . Introduce cricket in school curriculum, have creative workshops on cricket or something, help build stadiums in non cric countries, host more international matches, export coaches from south asia rather than players.
It'd be one thing if people weren't interested in the game but it's like nobody even knows the game and thinks it's some kind of complicated rocket science
>I also guarantee you that fucking countdown will have higher views than a weekday test match.
do you think that has anything to do with the fact that countdown is on FTA and test cricket isn't? wouldn't have thought so right
I think you underestimate just how badly daytime free to air television does. Maybe it isn’t penetrating to your sad deano existence but most people aren’t watching countdown, whatever that is. It’s on because it’s cheap to make and they need to put something there
Sport is still a bigger draw, I understand that cricket is doing poorly in England but even completely niche stuff like the Tour de France succeeds on free to air here
>implying the brainiac didn't know about the boundaries tiebreak rule and purposefully selected big hitting players just in case it came up
based Yea Forums watching our sport
nah mate I’d rather watch countdown
I genuinely dont think that has anything to do with it. Over 50s go fucking mad for countdown. Its actually mental.
How do I achieve this iconic look?
you know test cricket used to get 5+ mil tv audience before it moved to Sky, right? Sky can just afford to pay WAY more than the BBC or any other FTA station is willing to.
It'd be the same in Aus if we didn't have legislation that protected FTA sports.
what I mean is if tests were still on BBC and countdown had moved to dave or sky 1, it wouldn't be as popular
Why is this autist so obsessed with British Tv rights?
>>Boston Marathon bombing: 2
fuck i remember those threads

Absolutely NO ROOM to call out your /hoc/ betters after that shit show. That was some backyard sports bullshit to decide the game. "Yeah, b-b-but I win because I hit the ball higher!"
The vastly superior sport of ice hockey decides big games properly by playing the core game as a long as it takes until there's a winner.

I’m just bemused by your stupidity, you honestly think fta channels aren’t pursuing cricket broadcast rights because they’d rather show the “”big attractions”” like countdown?
Maybe you’re just a blow in but it’s well known in aus that cricket in England is suffering because sky bought exclusive rights and here there’s also a lot of public and government discourse about protecting local channels’ rights to show sports so it doesn’t kill them off. You seem a bit ignorant on the whole subject

I mean the 05 ashes was considered the greatest showdown in the history of cricket and IT WAS PRETTY DAMN BIG
Nobody could've seen cric going downhill from there

Shut your whore mouth sore loser, if NZ had won it would've been on the same technicality, both teams had an equal chance at winning and the better team came through, like I came in my pants when it happened. You little bitch wouldn't be whining if NZ had won, and there was no other way of deciding the winner when it came to the draw(which England played very well to get to, unlike poopeeland). I'm so fucking annoyed at you cunts not being able to take a simple loss, in fact you turd nuggets shouldn't even have been in the final, India should've beet you losers but you just lucked out, so don't come talking about losing over some technicality( which both teams Btw knew was the way a tie game would be settled and NEITHER CONTESTED IT BEFORE THE MATCH BEGUN SO POEZEALAND HAD EVERY CHANCE TO TELL THE REFS HEY WE'RE NOT GINNA PLAY IF IT WILL BE DECIDED BY TEVHNICALITY BUT YOU SID ANYWAY YOU GREEDY FUCKING CUNTS) now shut your gucling gob you absolute loser piece of shit nation with a British flag
We'll have to give him honourary citizenship
because the ECB are greedy and sky could offer many times more money for the rights. dumbfuck

if you can't tell the difference you are actually blind.
White stars on oz and red on nz
Dunno why
Dunno why they still keep a union jack either
we have more stars representing our states and territories
no need to change it since the dominant culture and heritage is that of the people who colonised this country
He's the gentleman in the gentlemen's game.
>he mad
I also love kane, really good man and a blessing for nz cricket. I think his popularity in india is helped a lot by him being captain of sunrisers and winning a title with them, also being top run scorer in the IPL as captain. asian cricket is full of big personalities so he sticks out as a really humble person and the dickriding is just natural indian enthusiasm.
need recs? search for pankhuri.
I understand that they both have stars representing the southern cross. was wondering why the extra star for one of them.
Stopped watching after India lost, like a true patriot, and then my friend told me about how the final match went down
what the fuck? Why is cricket so retarded? Why not give them another super over to play? So stupid. Are you kiwibros seething?
we got a fucking kiss reader here mates
this flag captures the aussie spirit. a scrappy, lovable bunch.
It's impossible to not love him after you've seen the Oye Hoye video.
literally the harry kane of cricket
Should have been another superover. Penalties in soccer go on forever. Should be same here.
Still seething tbqh.
what does this mean? I don't watch soccer
So...ummm..when is BEN STOKES getting knighthood?
>lovable bunch

Christ this is a powerful vibe
they are very similar because kane williamson is caled kane and that is the same name as harry kane.
Someone explain this to me, not the game of indian baseball shit is too complicated and im not intrested, but exactly how a champion is deffined in a tie without an actual played tie breaker?
means hes the good talented guy in an underachieving team
We did play a tie break - that was the Super Over. This was drawn so the team with the most boundaries (England) won.
There was a tie breaker...but it ended in a tie as well. Then ICC resorted to meme criteria of most boundaries hit
kinda like if an nba game seven was tied 97-97, then they did extra time and it was 123-123, and they gave it to the team who scored the most three pointers.
NZ are overachievers
they did play a tie breaker
that was a tie to, so it came down to hit more boundaries
>indian baseball
baseball and cricket were both invented by the english. the former played by subhuman amerimutts while the latter is played by anglo nations like australia new zealand and england.
maybe bottlebabbies is a better term
What I don’t understand is that every other conceivable tie break criteria (NRR, table position, etc) would’ve had england winning so why are people crying about it?
Only potential difference could’ve been wickets and if that was the rule then England wouldn’t have thrown wickets away chasing twos at the end and played for the draw instead
How does it feel to be 5 times wc champion yet cric still being known as indian baseball KEK
>underachieving
I get why you might think that but our cricket team is the exact opposite of your soccer team. the reason your team underachieves is because developing international players isn't a concern, the main motive is profitability of domestic leagues. we have 140 or so professional cricketers, so over 10% play for the blackcaps, but we overachieve because promising players are developed early, given coaching and a fair bit of freedom to fail because letting undeveloped players learn at the international level is one of the main strategies of our cricket board. also our greats never leave, they stick around behind the scenes as mentors, coaches and develop the next generation.
should be a compositw of wickets and runeate desu
>underachieving
Literally wut? Cricket is extremely niche in nz. SO much that your average kiwi doesn't even know Shane Bond. It's unbelievable that they're so good at it. It's like Slovakia being water polo finalists
well tbf im talking about tottenham not england. theyre probably more similar to nz than england are
test cricket only real cricket. ODI and T20 is meme. We're best test playing nation in the world. Why people associate cricket with India now and not cheating anglos who win with meme crap like more boundaries
Those metrics would never be used for a final, if the game was rained out (a no result) the trophy would've been shared according to ICC rules. It was a terrible end to a great match, nobody is mad at England, just frustrated that something so arbitrary decided the game when another super over could've been bowled or the trophy could've been shared as a no result.
Reminder it was a 5 not a 6
they call it that deridingly because something being associated with inida is perceived badly, so nice self own.
Yeah whatever all the population of those countries combined is like what 1/8th of India? And thats not counting Pakistán aka mussie loos, the fact that the english invented the game means shit the ones running it know are the loos, same with Canada and basketball
As for the game, shit sounded as a meme decition, but if its within the rules no reason to seeth about
>australia: 5 world cup wins and the most dominant test nation in history
>india: 2 world cups, dogshit at test cricket
you dont know anything about cricket lad
my favourite thing aobut england winning this world cup is anytime some wogball fan says england wont win a world cup, some random non-cricket watcher chimes in saying they won a world cup last night and a million south americans SEETHE
absolutely based lads
i've literally never EVER seen anybody try and politicise australian cricket victories. what's with this shit in the UK? even when khawaja saved us in pakistan no one did this shit
some grim political commentary coming out of this win for you guys, makes the loss a little easier to take knowing you are going to have to put up with that.
Kek what sort of faggot shit is this
Not a terrible idea. Aussiees draw cricketers from their entire population regardless of class which is why they've been dominant. Same with kiwis in rugby too
This campaign will dismally fail, loads of Labour's MPs went to a private school and more than half send their kids to them. Just bizarre.
>baseball and cricket were both invented by the english. the former played by subhuman amerimutts while the latter is played by anglo nations like australia new zealand and england.
No. As per English tradition, codifier gets the credit. The rough concept of tennis was invented by the French and named as such, but modern tennis is credited as an English invention because they refined the rule set. Same with baseball. "English baseball" was played first by hitting the ball with the hand. Then I suppose it evolved into rounders, but rounders was first mentioned in literature around 1830, while baseball has many mentions before then. Even if baseball did evolve from rounders, the two sports barely resemble each other.
Oh, and lol at implying we play the "lesser game." After the immensely retarded way that final was decided, you have no room to call out any sport as inferior, even something as shitty as soccer that ends in a tie 30 percent of the time and is decided by a Mario Party minigame.
Irony of it of course is that if we'd had lost, then the sorts saying 'diversity is evidently our strength!' (the overarching theme being pushed between the lefty seething) would not be blaming diversity at all.
Have you prepared your anus for big long Irish cock?
Wasn't one ofthe most recent superbowls effectively decided on a coin toss ?
Why don't leafs play cricket like the rest of the colonies? Is it too cold?

Half-right, they're too French.

>First played 18th-century England
this is not looking good for you lad
archer had a really good spell, but I cannot for the life of me understand the praise for his super over. bowled a freebie, got smashed for 6, had morgan changing fielding positions to calm him down and coach him and still conceded the same as boulty. feel like the English media has shown us literally no recognition, they're writing fairytale articles.
Literally happened in 2017
already wanked, but i'll check her(?) out
He means the overtime coin toss at Super Bowl LI.
I meant play as in not play like dogshit
Its called the unpent catharsis of english anal repression
No. Because you still have to score a touchdown after winning the coin toss. The football equivalent would be giving the team who had more yards the win in the event of a tie.
yes her
tfw no Indian gf
wonder what the pitches would be like. Imagine the cold winters would be an issue for pitch/outfield condition?
>wiki panel blurbs are facts
"It was not until the 16th century that rackets came into use and the game began to be called "tennis", from the French term tenez, which can be translated as "hold!", "receive!" or "take!", an interjection used as a call from the server to his opponent.[6]
French named it tennis, came up with the concept and rules, but modern tennis's rule set was develop by the English.
bruh that looks like a man tho my g
And the cricket equivalent would be a team winning a coin toss, batting, hitting a 4 and being declared the winner. If they didn't hit a four then the other team would have to.
Would they have an ice cricket varient?
that was about baseball kek
Pretty sure ice cricket is an actual thing already
looks like a walmart Salma Hayek
:)
I thought if a knockout game was rained off the team higher in the table won. That's what people were talking about when the India/NZ semifinal got some rain anyway (mostly Indians because it would mean India going through).
it is, watching the ice cricket games with Yea Forums was so much fun
Probably like soccer and rugby, there was a group of games that both rounders and baseball evolved from and had in common.
They still had to hit the 4 (although, the better analogy would be a 6, since that is cricket's highest scoring play). And a coin toss is fair.
>so is the boundary rule mate!
No, because a team who relies more on small ball scoring (1s and 2s, etc) is at an inherent disadvantage, even if they are just as potent of an offensive team overall. There's no defense of this rule, which is why it will changed. It's shit.
And yes, I don't like the "golden touchdown" rule, either. Both teams should get an offensive possession in OT, but it's still considerably less shit than the boundary tie break. And I'm not criticizing it because England won or whatever. The shitty rules aren't your team's fault. I'm just calling out a shitty rule.

>that was about baseball kek
You're missing the point. Any idiot can edit the wiki panel to say "first played...". Read the history and tennis from France to England evolved in the exact same way as baseball did from England to the US. Rough concept to refined rule set, dimensions, etc. If England gets credit for inventing modern tennis, the US gets the same credit for inventing modern baseball. Wiki panel blurbs don't change the facts.
Hence why englamb cant seem to win a test idown under
>And yes, I don't like the "golden touchdown" rule, either. Both teams should get an offensive possession in OT,
Fucking this, Just give the other team one last drive if they are stopped then its over
Norn Iron is a province of England
yeah, that only applied for semi finals, the reason being that it's a fair reward for the team who qualified higher and a no result isn't possible in a semi final. by the way, the super over itself is a T20 invention and shouldn't have been anywhere near an ODI world cup final, I believe the old tiebreak was wickets in hand but even that is quite a disadvantage to the team chasing imo.
>Fucking this, Just give the other team one last drive if they are stopped then its over
I don't know why the rule makers in any sport complicate this shit so much. Figure out a way to determine ties through, you know, by playing the actual fuckin' sport as it was drawn up, instead of having to resort to coin tosses, golden goals/TDs, penalty shootouts, and now boundary rules.
The counterarguments are always about player fatigue, viewing experience, and what have you. Then at that point, refine your sport so ties don't happen or players can play longer (i.e. unlimited substitutions). Sports shouldn't be decided by mini games and tie breakers picked out of a hat.
Sir Ben Stokes
O cant think of a sport wherr ties are impossibme plus practically games cant go om forever. Wimbledon realised this when their no tiebreaks 5th set rule resulted in ridiculous results like 28-26 final set. and now they dont do it anymore.
>descendant of Scottish Protestants

What did NI mean by this?
first time i've seen some misspell 'I'

Im phoneposting in a wsy where im typing blind
Ties will always be a possibility in any sport during regular time, but sports that continue to play the main sport in extra until there's a winner are (and where scoring chances are plentiful enough to ensure the game doesn't go on forever):
Basketball
Volleyball
Baseball
NHL playoff hockey
And I'm in the right thread to ask if Aussie Rules and Rugby have tie breaks, which believe they don't.
Limited overs cricket should go to super overs until there is a winner. Cricket rarely, rarely ties, so a winner through super overs won't go on for that long.
I think all runs on a runout should be discounted.
I think deducting extras is also a good idea
I just think you keep bowling super overs until someone wins
yes theoretically it could go on forever, but so can penalty shootouts. they never do
Like deducting extras from the bowling sides batting total instead of adding it to the othrr team?
rewatching the finish now
anyone know who this is??
>I just think you keep bowling super overs until someone wins
Simple. With the way cricket works, slim chance the match goes on for even another hour. Don't know why this boundary rule was implemented.
shes dat bitch off game of thrones
its 15 from 4
DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA
Fucking english bias. ICC was bribed by a few figures in British high society because they knew it would benefit english big hitters amd new they needed to win this world cup for english cricket. The initials of one of these bribers is PM.
*Wins by 0 runs*

new zealand lost, to save cricket
deduct all extras and whoever scored the most legitimate runs wins.

Let's come up with ideas for replacement of Super Over
>It's 2 overs, but with every 3 balls the fielders have to move in 10 yards from the boundary, so for the first 3 they can be on the boundary but by the last 3 they have to be at least 30 yards in
I reckon the best way to fix this would be to play two innings each rather than one. Also allow a team to bat until they get out. To win a team must bowl the other team out twice without them ever reaching their cumulative total.
hmm maybe we should implement this idea in the next ashes.
that could go on forever though, I reckon a day allocated for each innings should be more than adequate, but add another day just for possible weather incursions to be on the safe side
do they get morgsy back now that his work is done? feels only fair
Serious idea for all forms
>a team shouldn't be out until all batsmen are out. So your last lad continues to bat by himself but obviously he'd be trying to survive, hit boundaries or run 2s. If he misjudges any running then the bowler has a free shot at the stumps for the rest of the over and if they hit it then it's recorded as a run out
>ywn see a number 11 batsman all alone in the middle grinding out a draw with an innings of 0 not out from 72 balls
>french champagne
going to be a weird post-brexit world for you guys
that's the fucking tiebreak right there
impressive level of seeth
I don't think it would work as a tiebreak but would be amazing for tests
>you think you've got England out for 300 but Stokes smashes another 60 on his own
just think it would be absolute kino sending boulty out in the middle alone to score more than wood before he's out. to make it a little fairer on the tailenders, have steve smith on stand by at all finals to bowl his spin
extra day defo needed since the majority of english county 4 day games end in fucking draws...

>being against private schools
why would anyone be against creating actually competent ppl?
i went to a comprehensive school and it was fucking shit and now im a retard.
thanks obama.
2 FROM 1
2 FROM 1
I hope it invigorates tests again outside the usual grudge matches but I can't see it. hope I'm wrong.
Yes they sure have created some real competent MPs over the last 10 years kek
is it anything different from the test rankings? But they get to suck more shekels out of a preexisting arrangement? Create a new copywrite and noncompete clause?
Its been shown that private schools dont add any benefit to peoples lives over the fact that they are selective. Unintuitively most of the benefit of private schools is genetic aince they usually select illigent kids... something that is largely a genetic construct. Literally both sides talk out their arse on this issue. The main benefit i can think of in private schools is possibly things like social connections and maybe etiquette but generally, being in a private school vs state school wont affect say your likelihood of getting into the university you want. The reason why rugny players and cricketers are more likely private school educated is probably borne more out of middle class cultural reasons than any kind of privelage. Working class kids prefer football.
I love it when a plan comes together
and because private schools take sport seriously tbqh. they make them play it and have decent coaching from a young age.

>He was the first to document the deliberate addition of sugar for the production of sparkling wine

In this paper, unearthed by wine writer Tom Stevenson, Merret describes winemakers adding quantities of sugar and molasses to make the wines drink brisk and sparkling.[8] Today this would be called the méthode champenoise
Fuck the French!
Rule, Britannia!
Dont think its to do with that. Doubt unless affiliated with a club, a school would have the ability to have systematically beneficial coaching. Like i said its likely cultural. E.g. Football players arent normally associated with private schools.
It's the ICC so there's a lot of criticism to be made about the arrangement of it all, NZ still not going to play more test cricket whereas the big money boards continue to play more which this could've and should've fixed if they cared at all about the game and not continuing to plunder it for profit. But, as a test cricket nerd, I'm happy we have a centerpiece for our game and a trophy that says "This was the best test cricket team of this era". I imagine the final will be a great event too.
>tfw went to private school
anyone else?
What kind of tier? we talking like eton or some 100 quid a month borstal?
you’re wrong. private schools take rugby especially very seriously. they don’t play football.
i played rugby at a club, no one went to a private school. yet 61% of english players in the rugby premier league went to private school. only 7% of people go to private schools.
yeah but just a regular 10K/year one
not one of those 30K/year public schools
"ill be apologising for that for the rest of my life"
no doubt it was a blind testing after ingesting that much methanol from that hooch
Where exactly Im wrong. Yes its cultural. This is what ive said. Middleclass culture do rugby and cricket more. Private schools are middleclass. But these schools dont train top players per say. Its just that these schools have more rugby and cricket teams when state schools are less likely to do so
MP don't count.
They're not real people.
went to a $12k a year one. was a literally who small private school.
some private schools are very into sports, there is a few which are renowned for it and lots of people try and go for sports scholarships to them if they're super into it
Part of it is because private schools actually spend a lot of time doing them.. for example at my primary school we did sports 4 afternoons a week. There was a lot of drilling etc. too even for fatties who hated sports. On top of that you had PE which was an entirely separate lesson where you did things like athletics.
this is a cricket thread user
try Yea Forums or /tg/ for card games
Where does the money get spent on them ones? It's my understanding the teachers dont get paid that much more than normal teachers
I wuz robbed.
We had one PE lesson a week: cross-country in the winter, football in the summer.
Nothing else.
>all these britbongs in the thread
based
cant wait for the ashes. hope all the cazzies stick around for the banter
we did cross-country once per week I remember, every thursday, PE was once per week but timetabled anywhere like a regular lesson.
rugby in christmas term, footie in easter and cricket in summer.
Secondary was 2x rugby then cricket in the summer.
im from a comfy middle class background and still went to a state school, most middle class people go to state schools. rugby and to a lesser extent cricket were fairly big in my small town, i tried out both growing up. yet private schools dominate these sports because they have the resources and the will to do so. they have sports scholarships for where they half their fees if they are good at rugby or whatever. even in the olympics 37% of british medals were won by former private school students. they take sport seriously dude, and hire good coaches.
should be a great series desu, aussies starting to get their mojo back a bit and england on a high
hope the ireland test is a good one and more competitive than people expect
>jimmy is injured
It's going to be half the series.
Smaller classes mainly. So better teacher:pupil ratio which I guess is the same thing as paying more for teachers.
imagine cumming inside her RAW
one day..
If youre playing for a privaye school team theres probably no need or desire to play for the local rugby club. Also if your local rugby club has no private school students it also might be to do with how many people in that area generally go to private schools.
Sure drilling thing helps alot defintely but doesnt explain why there are such class differences e.g. with football vs cricket whilst some sports not associated with schools generally. I reckon private schools probably give more advantages sportwise than universitywise in some cases. facilities wise
the ireland test against pakistan was actually good. dunno how theyll go against england but hopefully its a decent showing.
>mcgrath injured in 2005
>jimmy injured in 2019
its our year la. the ashes are coming (staying) home.
Yes certainly private schools invest more in whatever they do but the preference is cultural and im sure that the benefit is more about giving students the opportunity to partake and play competitively in a sport as opposed to the quality of coaching. Obviously the scholarship thing too.
mark wood's time to shine
hate that man, it's a wonder how he even managed to keep around the team despite averaging 40+ for fucking yonks
at least he was okay in the world cup
MUH PACE
MUH INTIMIDATION
Englands bowling quality is indicative of the state of ODI
hilarious thing is that was the only reason they kept him around before, MUH PACE
and yet he could barely touch 88-89mph
seeing him touch 94-95 in the WC final convinced me they upped the speedgun readings a bit just for show
first time since harmison and flintoff that weve had a paur of genuine pacers
just glad we don't have bresnan or dernbach tier bowlers knocking around anymore desu

Only boomers like me when a decent left arm seamer like franklin got converted into a batsman.
Only boomers like me forget to put words like "remember" into a sentence
Still feel bad for the Kiwis, will this feeling ever pass
The fact that it should've been five and we lost a game in which we never actually trailed is going to make this impossible to get over.
wanna know how to get over it? cut off your left arm. you'll never even think about that stupid match again because you just cut off your own limb off for no reason at all
>Ashes soon
w-we'll bounce back. guppy, kane, taylor, boult, all of them, they'll all get another shot for a big trophy right? because they all deserve it and this amazing team won't fade away without having won anything and had their moment of glory, right?
right? ;_;

Have sex
Why are people boasting about views when about 50% of them or more can be attrobuted to the internet being bigger and more connected around our lives than ever before. Baseball is still the chad ball-bat game around.
I'm a pretty big gridiron fan and played it at uni in the states. If this happened in that sport even in a regular season NFL contest or important NCAA game it would be a crisis of conscious for the whole game and rules would changed. You saw it this year with the Saints, I disagree with the solution but at least they are proactive.
To just get utterly robbed is one thing. But to be utterly robbed and have the ICC proudly boast how big of a success the final was and how happy they are with the result. It's genuinely infuriating. I don't expect umps to get every call or for technicalities not to come into play, but for nothing to be done about it because the ICC wanted England or India to win and as long as the tournament has the desired winner all is in order...fuck that's uncompetitive and makes you question why you should show up unless you're one of the exalted sides.
For everything else there's MasterCard
Not even joking. If i was one of them id have a few mcewans prior and stick the midsle finger up at that bitch
tbf to may she seems like a genuine cricket fan
Reckon the lads should have popped a suit on to meet mummy May
>Nothing to be done about it
Such as what?
how did mark wood get so short and plunkett so ugly? also dont recognise like a quarter of these people
reminder this was the last chance your "golden generation" ever had to win the world cup
New Zealand will NEVER be able to challenge for it again. Santner ducked the dream the of NZ cricket forever.
This is post
the new zealand team should hang their heads in shame
they let down their country when it really mattered
Don't agree with that desu, they're always decent.
kane williamson should resign the captaincy
his position is untenable after such a shameful showing
>trending
trending means nothing. trending means someone at jewtube put it there. trending doesn't mean it got there organically. `
Don’t care, it still matters to Americans.
this desu, they'll come back strong
hopefully it inspires the next generation of cricketers there as much as it hopefully will here
Yes, it got more views because of trending. Hopefully Trump will hang these youtube jews for their fraudulent practices.
>come play this rigged game where the umps blow massive calls and biased tiebreakers punish your style of play!
yea mate not sure how thats gonna play out. the ICC wants us gone anyways, 4.5million people they'd be ecstatic if we'd fuck off so someone else could take our spot.
Quite unbelievable how the English have managed to be so vile about this win considering the circumstances.
SEETHING /hoc/kold
Blame Piers Morgan and his bribes for ICC rule changes
He’s literally the best in the world right now
OH NO NO NO

>putting ONE quotation mark in
tbf that's the last image of 12
So a couple of errors and a tie breaker that no one would ever expect to actually be required means the ICC rigged the whole thing?
You're sounding a bit unhinged
>You're sounding a bit unhinged
Sounds like any kiwi to me if I’m really honest.
Lad theres a story about piers morgan comin out in tomorrows papers
Imagine not loving cricket after watching that game
Yeah well at least it’s in front of some American normies over here who will get a chance to see our based sport
just woke up

He's probably Scottish, anyway.
Good morning boro

ENGLAND WON WORLD CUP

Cannot fucking wait, gonna be kino as fuck.
Cringe.

"nice guys" new zealand

pretty trash tournie gotta admit
This except for the Pakistan part.
So true

Nice sportsmanship. Well done mate.
It is my college
dont believe in golden generations
how do you know the next generation wont be even better
want to see bangladesh win a world cup in the 'bul's lifetime
My right sock agrees.
Must be pretty fucking grim supporting a team who you know will never have a chance of winning a world tournament in your lifetime and the next few as well
>me on the right
life long Winnipeg Hawks here, >we're bringing it home
anyone else found it kinda pathetic how sorry New Zealand feel for themselves?
Dude in 2019 : Have you seen a better match than this ?
Me: No
Dude in 2060 : which is your favorite match of all time
Me: 2019 WCW final
I have a friend who supports Newcastle who's in his 60s.
They haven't won a trophy in his lifetime. At least I've my team got 2 worthington cups
feel bad seeing this
just remembered we're playing the aussies in the boxing day test lads
remember guys world cups are now a sympathy prize for losers because they "tried their best"
personally i believe they deserved to lose like that because of the seething kiwi
if only india had been on the end of that yesterday instead of NZ desu
Sir Ben Stokes
Can’t wait for summer
WCW on revival watch
they would have fucking rioted and lynched icc and england would have been forced to share that trophy. you should be glad it wasn’t them
inject it into my veins
business idea: wcw nitro replaces raw
give it 8 more years lads.
Very few. I reckon most are the guys without Wikipedia articles. And the “Canadians” are all South Asian.
;_;
Shall invest
Literally never understood how people can remember WCW fondly. It was always shit in comparison to the Raw of the era.
Hey guys, Tim here. Given you some slack recently but please keep it on topic.
Thanks for your hard work Tim. Will let you know if anything needs your attention.
>test cricket is back next week
Disgusting cunt
Apologies Tim
Ah yes, that should ruin Christmas nicely.
KEK imagine willingly going to slaughter on Christmas.
bit cringe the way rashid and moeen like flee away from the champagne, just think its posturing and they want the media to pick up on them doing it, could just walk slowly don't have to act all startled like a couple of faggots
it's Yea Forums you doughnut, there are always going to be some shitposters. if you think this was bad, imagine if you'd lost in the same fashion to India or Australia
Shouldn't have stepped on the rope mate. Wouldn't have made any difference if that catch had been taken. Seethe more.
sight of piers morgan in a cricket shirt makes me feel sick
lol no, we'd have been far worse. like pretty much everyone but south africa (who are used to tieing in comical fashion
Nitro was much better than RAW until about 97 and then they fucked it. The NWO was the hottest thing in wrestling for two years until WWF decided they had to be edgier to compete
really makes me think... friggin BASED
feel like south african cricket needs a bit of a renaissance, along with kenya and zimbabwe
>Ikeepmateeth Inajarbesidemabed
>I'm a pretty big gridiron fan and played it at uni in the states.
Let me guess: You were a kicker on a noncompetitive FCS team or a full-blooded Maori hambeast linebacker on a noncompetitive FCS team.
Isnt gridiron a dead sport like from hundred years ago or more?
Nah it’s just what foreigners call handegg
That audio effects my autism.
Tell us about that in 30 years when the Kiwis are still fucking crying about it.
ah my bad. probs coz i only heard the term when i was reading about the history of football
already stopped caring about cricket lads not gonna lie
Ye. I think it’s mostly an antiquated term. Everyone here just says football. Nobody here that isn’t being pretentious means soccer when they say football. In the rare case that someone does need to differentiate, they generally say American football... but I think Wikipedia and the like pooh-pooh that because “What about Canadian football!?”
underarm is no longer my friend
now overthrow and super over tie rules are new friend
3 from 2
3 from 2
3 from 2
Kek. I honestly am sad that it’s not possible to reduce the whole thing into a portable webm that really embodies the kiwi frustration quite like that shot of the bowl followed by McKechnie’s bat toss.
waahh waahhh waahhh
>portable webm
*postable webm
Fuck me
genuinely think boult should have underarmed the last ball.
Maybe because you don’t deserve to be champions?
YOU WUZ ROBBED
Only been dominating ODIs for the last few years lad
score boundaries like you used to duckhid
Kek I keep thinking the same thing, doubtful we'll ever have a team this great again, but obviously not great enough to win the thing.
>number one ranked ODI team beats numbers 2, 3 and 4 in one tournament (even beat number 1.5 times!)
>doesn't deserve trophy
how have you managed to be more salty than the kiwis about this
number 4 1.5 times*
Okay which one of you cunts sent this letter to the editor at the BAKA?
>In 1981 New Zealand were denied a chance to tie a one-day match by a ludicrous rule that allowed underarm bowling. On Sunday it took three ludicrous rules to deprive the Black Caps in a far more important game. First, how can a fair catch, taken inside the boundary and clearly held by the fieldsman, become a six? Second, when a ball thrown back in from a fieldsman deflected off the bat of a batsman diving to make his ground and subsequently crossed the boundary, the player was awarded the extra four runs. Third, after playing a tied ‘‘super over’’ which never should have been necessary, NZ were defeated by a rule that the winner would be the team that had scored the most sixes. ‘‘Them’s the rules’’ doesn’t wash.
>‘Them’s the rules’’ doesn’t wash.
yikes.. rules are unreasonable when they don't go the way you want it seems..
big fan of the current set of overthrow laws not gonna lie lads
NZ lost fair and square and the 'muh rules' is a shitty coping mechanism.
I am assuming both teams knew in full well the rules however as I don't follow this sport.
>I don't follow this sport.
yikes cringe
Not going to lie, this whole thing has got me interested though.
honestly wondering when some kiwi is going to bitch about the limit on the number of reviews because Wood would've been not out.
PLEASE watch your sport
Might become an international cricket umpire lads
Lads I’m gonna bash you all up unless someone makes a new thread right now

Anyone fancy a game of World Cup Cricket?
How do we play?
by spending more time setting it up than playing the game itself

>hate boundaries

>hate jannies

sounds like a dull life m8
anybody found a VOD of the match yet? Want to bask in it before reality sinks in and Keaton Jennings gets out for a goldie in the first Ashes match
Reckon I should get a copy myself so as to partition it into a few hundred webms.
It was a pretty dull match 2bh
Just a good finish
We chose curling as our weird British sport. Small towns of 500 people with nothing for miles in any direction will have a curling rink with 4 sheets.
They'll probably do a nice lil boxset on it like they did with 2005 ashes.
Pretty good narrative too. Open with the humiliation of 2015.. the transformation.. the success.. hitting no. 1.. and then coming into the WC and stumbling all over again. The drama intensifies and they need to come back with back to back wins against top teams. They follow through and demolish their rivals in the semis before a rivetting finale full of twists and turns.
The amount of poms having their teeth knocked out when on holiday after trying to use this as "banter" is going to be glorious.
Kane said we didn't lose lads. And you know what? I believe him.
england won
get over you seething loser
>0wc
why doesn't NZ have any darkies on their team lads
Ice hockey
>implying they'd have any teeth to knock out
Ross taylor and ish sodhi ain't white
England champion for England people and Pakistani
New Zealand champion for New Zealand, indian, Australian, south Africa, Bangladesh, srilanka, West Indies, Afghanistan people
Like and share if you agree
We'd be mining salt for decades
Only one team gets the trophy though, and as someone has said, winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.
disagree mate all the kiwis here were extremely rude to me so I backed england
He said people, not dogs
Weren't pakis also taking a dump on England on twitter?
Yes everyone is. It was just if an Indian wrote that post they couldn't help but take a dig at Pakistan at the same time
this is what I mean
you can call me whatever but your world cup loss is eternal
Business idea: rematch
Imagine the tv ratings
Imagine ticket sales if they held it in the mcg
Imagine the international interest.
It would be like Muhammad Ali vs Floyd Mayweather in their primes
Business idea: revoke new zealand’s test status for being an incompetent nation that can never win a world cup
>Muhammad Ali vs Floyd Mayweather
It truly would be like a heavyweight absolutely smashing a tiny little lightweight minnow
England is salty is fuck that nobody will acknowledge their illegitimate trophy
Okay cool thanks for posting on Yea Forums
There's definitely a lot of people congratulating, mate. Your lads won their hearts, though.
>win meaningless world cup
>lose the ashes at home yet again
classic englel
And you won our farts. Sniff on that, cunt
What are we listening to
The most hilarious thing is how the Indians seem to be saltier than the kiwis about it. I think all the brainlets at IIT think the transitive property applies to cricket: India lost to NZ who lost to England, so India lost to England.
kek
So is this when we all pretent we now like cricket? Like when we won rugby way back and all pretended to like it more than football. Go cricket come on England score some fucking runs.. It is runs right?
There's been lads before and there will be definitely be lads after.
you want runs when England is batting and wickets when England is bowling. don't get them mixed up, it won't end well.
I'm just waiting till the woman's bikini mud wrestling world cup finally comes home. Make sky sports news bearable again.
So it's runs. In that case I'm shocked India didn't win.
will be interested to see how badly we get demolished in the ashes lads
Yeah, don't bring any soccer culture with you though mate.
y'all heard it here first la, bumrah-sahni era. it's coming.
youtu.be
This is our punishment for the win. Never seen one event so politicised.

It's funny really that actual cricket folk don't even care that England has all these players not born in England or whatever.
Just another hijacking for a cause, it's as stupid as complaining that the French soccer team aren't French because they're black and in a way Fry is arguing within the bizarre ruleset created by his opponents.
I hope this makes a semblance of sense I'm on painkillers and it's late.
