how can it be 12PM instead of 12:30 because you took one step into the northern territory from queensland

That curry I ate earlier didn't sit too well and I just Tim Paine myself.

mine is similar but with tim paine and joel wilson at the top

how come you're not playing pvp realm mate?

Indians innit

The world is flat. Greenwich officials need to intervene!

>even beefy is drowning out the football

Never played wow. Might give it a shot if I had people to play with.

stalagg is a pvp realm, I'm playing on yank servers so I can play with my internet mates

Arugal obviously. Played an UD mage back then, will probably just go the same again. I can't deal with not having teleports.

It quite literally is when you look at a map of the timezones. The whole of India has just one timezone, for example.

thinkign about ditching them to play on oce realms though because of queues though. doubt many people will be on at 8am on a tuesday compared to the giant american realms. I don't have any mates playing oce though

So is this in one of the top 5 Ashes games ever played?

Not even the biggest sporting disappointment of my weekend desu.

yeah, all the US realms are going to have crazy queues. the games not even out and blizzard said the 4 of them would have such long queues the queue system wouldnt even work lol

Iggs fan? nothing is worse than this for me. I've never felt this shit after a game of sport, ever

decent effort, we'd already lost by 1:45am though sorry mate

Knights fan?

IGGS?

Based Essendon still has another two weeks to give me their typical finals disappointment.

Yeah, Iggs.

Genuinely believe that is the greatest Test innings of all time, especially considering he was like 2 (50) at the close of play yesterday, that all has to be take into account as well.

Your MVP

Good sporting weekend for me. I went to see England crush Ireland in the rugby yesterday too.

Lel, try being a Saints fan after 09/10. Nothing will ever top that.

That looks disorganised, but actually pretty comfy

it's like when there's more pressure stokes just gets stronger

that's like his special ability

This result has really made me think of how much of my life I'm wasting watching this sport. I'm 21 and I stay up all night watching the test. I get a few hours of sleep and am too tired for the rest of the day to do anything. On the weekends, I sleep til 2 pm and then just wait to watch the cricket, normally listening to cricket podcasts about the last days play and going on these threads.Think I need to cut down, maybe it's time to become a casual fan and only watch the highlights.

Even looks like he's braindead.

idk, that was pretty disastrous but this is so much worse for me. i feel like we can't bounce back from this and this was our one shot to win an ashes series in england
iggs literally won the grand final last year, whereas we havent won an ashes series in england in almost 20 years. fuck me its just grim all round

does it work in reverse too? will he choke endlessly if englel is winning until he gets dropped?

Yep.
Lyon is no longer on hero status lads.

Lad, you're 21 who gives a fuck. I'm 28 and only just got my life in order.

Stokes fucked up your stroke. Poetic.

Iggs got a reality check. No more hoping it's 4D Simmo chess. We're not good enough right now.

It's the day light saving cubicle faggots in Sydney and Melbourne that make it look worse than it needs to be.

Someone should kidnap his family in return for at least 60 runs an innings

What's the opposite of COOKED anyway? FROZEN?

you got anything better to do?

>I'm 28 and only just got my life in order.
Same here.
Well I got it in order 13 months ago but still, took a long time.

bad week to support the iggs, manchester united and Aus Cricket :'(

>does it work in reverse too?
does for the rest of the lineup m8

Whatever it is, just like let it go.

no, he goes back to being a average/good batsman and an expensive but occasionally impactful bowler.

Makes sense if you understand the scale. Retard DST Eastern states are the only confusing aspect

Idk man just feel like I'm letting my youth slip away from me by watching this shit.

Based sebbo willed this win

are you working or going to uni? or are you neet just sitting around waiting for cricket

Everything can change quickly and I can't say I regret any of the years of feeling like I was doing nothing.

>Stokes has Australian fans contemplating their entire existence and driving them to an existential crisis

>stokes convinced cricket addicts to live healthier and happier lives

Don't go to Uni. Waste of time. Get yourself a certification in a trade or professional service. Sit back and enjoy the cricket. No one wants or gives a shit about your arts degree(s).

How fucking stupid must New Balance feel for dropping Stokes after the nightclub incident

series is 1-1 if it rains for 39 days Australia will retain the ashes.

Don't think I've ever seen a country get so incredibly lucky in big games. I feel that the universe will correct for this in horrific ways. Something bad will happen to English cricket, I predict one of their test squad will die within the month.

Fucking hell mate it's just game clam down

>alot

Mate the Universe already caught up with us as we get financially and socially bitch slapped by our politicians every day

I don't want this to happen, I just think it will.

brexit is habbening

20,000 people were locked out of the ground in the test after England's win at Edgbaston 2005, so maybe there'll be a surge of interest for the next test.

This is just the universe compensating for our run of form in the 90s

Was a solid job blocking 16 bouncers.

No need to block simply leave, just like cooky would want

Absolute genius.
He's gonna be retained for the next test just for his tactical understanding.

makes up for our international football in the 90s and 00s

I despise the Australian team but I dunno seeing someone that dejected over cricket is a bit disheartening.

Based adam

Yes Gary!

More of a rugby league nation 2bh

So incredibly brainy he only scores runs that secure at least a tie. Leach operates on an intellectual level above mere mortals

If only some of the players before him understood what was needed.

Only Stokes, Leach and perhaps Root fully understood.

That run out was fucking criminal. If the early batting order isn't getting it then questions need to be asked of them and Root for lack of direction.

Easy to take this win and carry on and forget, but some of out batting has been fucking atrocious.... we'll come undone again if we don't learn

Looks like it's already been decided by the (usually a complete cunt) host himself.

No one cares about your shit games. The only test cricket that actually matters is the Ashes and India have never even stood a chance at winning them.

This, plus England hadn't won the Ashes in 18 years at that point and had barely ever even been competitive during that time so the anticipation of a series win was immense.

Imagine only enjoying one sport. That's the mark of a real philistine.

Do love /cric/ though, been a cricket fan all my life but first came here during last Ashes, and I’ve gotta say it increases the enjoyment that much more. There’s just the right amount of banter that it’s fun when you win and bearable when you lose, unlike the football mongs or people on Twitter.

This is one of those special moments

i mean we'll still probably end up losing the ashes tbf, but that was an innings for ages

Congratulations England for winning at not losing yet.

Today was a huge celebration of adequacy.

problem for the aussies is, this defeat is fucking demoralising. hard to pick yourself up when you where literally 1 wicket from winning the ashes with 70 odd runs required, momentum in a 5 match test series is a funny thing they could fall apart

What is this rock-paper-scissors bullshit?

How are people like Stokes, Botham and Flintoff capable of making these massive contributions occasionally but in comparison their statistics are mediocre?

Dumb nordie

They don't mean it though. Tomorrow they'll be over it and will already have figured out how to win the next test.

Everyone needs to understand that Stokes' innings was incredible, fantastic, marvellous, superlative, etc. And that effort by one man is what won you the match, it would be imprudent to rest on your perceived laurels, the Aussies are a better team and the series is level. Pull your heads in and stop carrying on like you've just won something.

yeah but england lose to india in india

they're all clutch players that thrive under pressure, in normal situations they don't really perform for some reason

When are they going to do a biopic of the english cricket team with Henry Cavill as Alastair Cook?

They're allrounders m8. You don't expect them to have equally good stats as specialists. Unless they're Imran Khan or Sobers or Kallis

The norm is the big 3 (aus, eng, ind) winning at home. Australia losing to india is the outlier

to be fair stokes' batting is a lot better these days than it used to be

Prime freddie vs prime stokes

For me its Flintoff

England could easily have lost the World Cup final and the Ashes within 3 tests if it wasn't for the smallest margins going.

Really is mental when you pick it apart. Based Oceanian bottlejobs doing us favours.

Stokes batting, Flintoff bowling.

Flintoff bowling when he was on form was borderline unplayable.

World Cup Final. It went to a special over when it looked like England had been beaten and then England won purely on a small print rule that has never happened before. This was up there, but World Cup Final is unbeatable currently. Only way this can get better is England winning the Ashes (unlikely as that is).

I could hardly believe what he was doing out there today, flicking sixes, reverse sweeping. He's a good batsman and considering the position the run chase was in when he took up he's amazing under pressure like he doesn't feel or show he's under pressure and it flips that stress onto the opposition. It was similar feeling in that wc final.

>Ashes (unlikely as that is)
>unlikely for England to win the ashes in England

hmm

Yeah i know but my point is that with these mediocre stats they have the odd moment youd expect from a statistically better player like a steyn or de villiers.

>They will literally crush the one day game here for this.
Don't care about that desu, what disgusts me is that no county cricket is being played during high summer. Even leaving aside the fact that county cricket is valuable in its own right, how are we supposed to develop Test players if all the first-class cricket is being played in shitty conditions in April and September?

Ben Affleck as Punished KP.

I was surprised that he got a 6 first hit with his new bat, sort of thing which would creep into a players' mind after that long out there but he straight away proved that he had no intention of playing any differently with it.

Think Stokes has surpassed Flintoff now. While he's not as good a bowler as Fred at his peak, he already has more 5fers, and he has a much greater legacy with the bat.
Flintoff will always have 2005, and that team of GOAT players he beat, but he doesn't have a great innings like Stokes double against SA, World Cup final, and now this. That cheeky 70 odd at Edgbaston wasn't as great as this

Ahahhahahhahahahahhahaha

>Cuckfailia

he's that shit i'm not entirely convinced he played cricket either

Warwick Davis unironically looks like Warner.

Flintoff's batting record was very disappointing in the end. Only 3 centuries, and none after 2005. He was good at smashing it around but really struggled to go on and play a big innings.

He's a player I want to watch now. Haven't figured out whether he's able to do this mentally because he's a fighter or a headbanger but I'm looking forward to his next innings :^) and to see how the Aussies will attack him.

Yes mate. I take it you didn't see 67 all out?

Yeah 2005 was magic. A team of shitters + Kevin Pietersen beat one of the best test teams of all time albeit on the downslide esp. with the death of Gillespie.

For me, its Boycott + Aggers.

You could include the match we had against South Africa in Joburg 2006. Series tied, final match, we break the od record for an innings to score 434 runs, the record only lasts a few hours as SA score 438 (with 9 wickets and 49.5 overs) to win the series
