2 against England
3 against Australia

two test series against you after a grim 5 game t20 series

Business idea: Australia agree to forfeit their victory in the Fourth Test, thus giving England another chance in the Ashes. In return England will give their worthless pyjama cricket trophy to the seething Kiwis.

>5 game t20 series
let me out

Genuinely curious to get antipodean takes on the future of test cricket. Does it have a genuine chance in the future all considered, etc.
Even a lot of the old guard think its days are numbered

Why don’t they cancel T20I
Fine for domestic stuff where no one takes it seriously
Pointless for the international spherr

its here to stay
we have a habit of making test matches thrilling

Rest in Peace English Cricket

July 2019 - September 2019

It's hard to foresee The Ashes coming to an end. And that alone will keep test internationals at least on life support

Won't die here

it's just the NZ board tests don't make them enough money so they only schedule the bare minimum

it has a following here but the problem in NZ is that theres no people here except for Auckland. even le rugby gets almost no attendance unless it's an AB's game but it's still popular. I don't think it's ever going to be lucrative here unless we build some venues that people will want to go to and again sky is a culprit here, I've literally not once seen test cricket on fta in my life.

still massive here

I don't even see how T20 is remotely more watchable, cheers for answering though I was curious

Money pumped into the other forms is what makes me most iffy on it, shite like The Hundred just has too much money behind it and even if it doesn't steal the best players outright, it will fuck their mentality from test into T20 (English team is a big indicator of this)

I suppose too there's the added worry that even playing it abroad is a big, expensive, upheaval

Good to hear

I look forward to the ultimate evolution of cricket; the 1 ball innings.

This is the thing, like where does the 'we need to attract an audience!' shite end?
Cricket will never be football (soccer) and it shouldn't try to be. It'll always be a bit niche, at least in the UK.

with 300 innings

Best of 7 series?

They've been saying tests are dying for years. Surely they're in better health now than eg 80s when it was Windieswinslol, 5 draws per series on the subcontinent, England and Australia both shit and South Africa banned

Based sebbo

People have always said "test cricket is dying" "people don't want to watch it in le current year" "it needs to adapt to compete with modern sports like football".

Despite that test matches sell out instantly and always generate a buzz, every year.

Just let the boys at /hoc/ know the good guys won lads

Don't lie to the (somewhat) good people of /hoc/

and all the stadiums are total shit for cricket in auckland

The key to this isnt test cricket... its raising the standards and appeal of first class cricket. Bring in the 5 day first class game too.

Next time you tour poo peeland they'll be at you as well, and it will generate interest for when theyy tour bongland. A bit of drama between anglo countries is fine, the pakis not so much

imagine not winning the ashes on home soil lmao

england are now new zealand levels of shit

Brought some cricket virgins to some test games this summer - absolutely loved the tension and the boozing. Duty of the Anglo to keep it alive

I'd definitely like to go to a match sometime, need to learn the sport a bit more though

reckon it should be law that at least 1 match per series has to be on terrestrial television and it can't be the last match if its a dead rubber. there you go test cricket is saved

Based and sebbopilled

True but then why not at least air that? There's going to be so little interest in it that Sky can afford to hand it over.

On a scale of 1-10 I'd say -4

For me

It's SEBBO

We'll play tests with you lads whenever you like, doesn't even matter if you smash us it'll be good experience for our lads.
Also, I know where Phil Simmons used to get coffee when he was over here coaching.

quite eloquent.

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad.

I'm interested in Ireland being allowed into the fucking thing next time around.

How do you replace the Hundred™? For me it's:

-Revert to the T20 format which is already recognised, successful and not as much of a horrible bastardisation of cricket.
-Have county sides with an established fanbase and reputation. Keep the 8-team structure but have more divisions with a pro/rel system in place, in order to fit all the counties in and not exclude large parts of the country.
-Abolish the Vitality Blast which is now a pointless duplication. This means that first-class cricket can co-exist with whiteball, as all T20 will be compressed into a few weeks.

This proposal contains integrity.

For me, it’s eliminating all white ball cricket.

You let the fucking Madoka thread die again

for me, it's only commuting into the city to watch a sportsball game if it lasts less than an hour in total

not necessary as it has its place. For example if you've an 8 team t20 competition even with a full round robin it's only 14 matches then two semis and a final, teams can easily play 3 or 4 games per week so the whole thing can be done within 6 weeks leaving the rest of the season for the longer form. t20 doesn't even have to be played at the hight of summer either.

Honestly there should be a campground for people traveling for red ball matches. Like that should be the gimmick. Travel from the country and spend your week at the market town, and go watch the cricket while you’re in between sales.

I think they need to stop having t20 as a side attachment to the county clubs. Just do with t20 what they are trying to do with this hundred lark, player draft, city/region based franchise, get the marketing right. The same way the BBL or IPL does it

Yikes.

Any form of cricket that’s not tied to a county team and which doesn’t support red ball cricket is inherently illegitimate.

You've missed out the best ones:

Northern Superchargers (for some reason it wasn't felt necessary to put 'Leeds' in the name, even though this is not the only Northern team)
Manchester Originals (genuinely no idea what this is referring to)
Birmingham Phoenix
Oval Invincibles (not to be confused with the other London team. The one that actually has London in the name)

TV and streaming are better potential revenue sources, if we could get the Indians to give a shit about county t20 just imagine the youtube ads revenue once there's 100k watching it live.

>Oval Invincibles

Attached: bradrm.jpg (570x474, 183K)

Also lads, wouldn't it be fun if we had a couple of sides from Ireland in your t20 pyramid?

>"Northern" Superchargers
>I have to travel 90 minutes south to get to headingley

I know they were never actually going to put a team in Chester le street, it's why the franchise city shit is bollocks

t20 is literally just a bash and a giggle, it doesn't make red ball cricket any better at all, just get the best players in the world here for a month each year to get the kids interested in cricket, maybe they'll take up playing for their local cricket club and move into county cricket then.

The Hundred™ could merge the two London franchises together and have one in Dublin instead. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have 2 out of 8 teams in London when the 8-team format already makes it impossible for millions of fans to get to games? As if it was too much bother for people living in South London to get to Lord's.

Some clever clogs was looking at population density maps and trying to figure out why soccer makes so much money. It's stupid because it is flying in the face of the history, tradition, and most importantly the culture of the sport.
The hundred will only succeed if it can attract more new customers than the current amount of support for the county t20 (which they've made worse and less appealing than it ought to be).

Not to be rude but I'm not interested in having a The Hundred team as I think it's shit.

Not to be rude but I'm mostly seething about the Hundred rather than seriously considering the interests of Irish cricket.

oi ivan what was the name of that pommy fag you used to talk to from lastfm

Hundred unironically going to kill the already wounded county game

the problem is the ecb ballsed it up right from the start, if they did it franchise based from the start we wouldn't have this problem, now the ship has sailed and they're trying to make the hundred what they wanted the t20 blast be in the first place. complete incompetence.

Perfectly understandable old boy :^)

What stage of grief are you on bros

why don't they try to promote the county game? no team even has a decent highlights package on youtube or anything, just one camera fixed on the wickets and some amateur commentator. I'm sure if they promoted first class rivalries like Lancashire vs Yorkshire or Middlesex vs Surrey on the tv it would take off. You could hand it to the BBC for free they're gagging for any sports content.

Acceptance since the first test

The BBC would only show it if it was gay female paki cripple cricket

What cricket needs to do is introduce 5 day first class franchises with limited amount of teams that county players compete to play in. Limit counties to list A and first class friendlies. Get leagues from different countries to cooperate so county teams can tour first class cricket in the off season. Problem with cricket is that theres such a short fucking window to play it in.

don't be silly, they already show lower tier rugby league

ive said this many times. first class too boring too many draws. make it 5 days not 4.

can play all year round in Dubai, just saying

I'd watch it, would also love an excuse to go up Ireland

Same here I'd like to visit the Windies and following a cricket tour down there would be great craic.
Phil Simmons used to drink at Starbucks in Malahide, and he's an absolute gentleman too.

I don't liek criket

no no

i luv it

Put cricket on the national curriculum in primary school, commission a series of illustrated childrens books that centre around cricket, give them out to schools, make sure every school has equipment to play cricket in PE. Simple as.

We also need legislation mandating that cricket be on free to air TV.

Unfortunately we'll probably have to wait until an Islamic Republic is proclaimed before we have a government willing to impose cricket on this sinful divegrass-loving nation. Not too long now inshallah.

Congrats Aussies.

Suddenly England is a fantastic ODI side and a subpar Test side.

Bad Guy by Billie Eillish was a massive summer hit for me. Intoxicatingly catchy though its difficult to say whether thats because its genuinely good or just incessant, but you cant mark something down for being enjoyable. Some praise must be given to her moody, atmospheric production and delivery (and also music video) which is not too common in female pop and hopefully wont become reduced to vapid cliche over time through her irritating zoomer audience. There would be nothing really much more to say about this sparse catchy hit (which may be where Billie's inevitable childstar-downfall may lie in the future) but for the interesting lyrics which have not been commented on much by ither reviewers. They are vague enough to be interpreted as about anything and nothing, (as with many mainstream hit) with disturbing sado-masoschistic effect, but this songs' lyrics feel to me like a rather ironic and sarcastic (maybe submissive?) statement about how abusive, dominant, patriarchal males project negative images onto their partner's identity: gaslighting - he's not the bad guy, she is. For instance whilst some interpret the "seduce your dad type" line as disturbing for the sake of it (Shes not yet 18), I think this may be also seen as a classic case of men chastising women for being sexy jail bait.
If this is the case then I think this may actually be a very interesting and well thought out song beyond just being an irritaringly catchy commercial hit. Her dark sound would no longer be simply vapid moody zoomer emo cliches.

And also a song that many /britfeel/ incels could learn from. Yes, (YOU) user.

how do we feel about short pitch bowling lads?

Anyone have webms of Steve Smith fidgeting and generally being an autist?

Does he bowl? I had no idea. Any good?

Definitely not Stokes because the risk of it affecting his form is unacceptable. I think it has to be Broad, even with his reputation for shit DRS use (which probably wouldn't be so bad if it was someone else bowling). England should really look to appoint a bowler because appointing a batsman always seems to ruin him.

Excellent idea.

tbf Stokes came over when he was a kid and is definitely a product of the English cricket system.
Morgan qualified as English because rules and although I don't like it he's not the first man to leave the island to earn his living and I wouldn't begrudge him, even now with test status we still aren't getting much in the way of international matches.

Thanks for the history lesson but England have a long history of plundering smaller nations to "improve" their own side. Tony Greig. Alan Lamb. Robin Smith. Andrew Strauss. Nasser Hussein. Kevin Pietersen. Without Stokes and Archer they'd have lost every test in 3 days. And without Morgan they would still be sitting on zero world cups. #restoftheworld

who can stop punished Smith

i wanna unironically learn to play cricket but i assume all the people who play it in america are indians and pakistanis and i dont think they would accept me

Strauss and Hussein both came to the UK at a young age for non-cricketing reasons and would never have played for any other nation.

I would guess that they're actually very keen to spread cricket to wh*te Americans and don't like the idea of cricket being stereotyped as an ethnic sport.

perhaps i'll look to see if any local teams are welcoming new players

cricket is very accessible at a social level the majority of clubs are usually very welcoming to new players, it might be different over there but if it's majority sub-continental lads it won't be, they'll be delighted to have you and if you're not actually racist you'll make friends easily over cricket

bairstow - the tim paine effect

yeah i think it's more of an issue of finding a place where new players are actually welcomed, considering there's basically no places at all to play to begin with i'm assuming
i got into cricket this summer with the world cup and have really enjoyed it, watched almost all the ashes so far even though it's on early as fuck for americans, but not sure how accessible playing is. will look into it.

are you for real? smith and cummo were already gods. they went into this series as already the best batter and bowler in the world. and as for lasagne, he has been a talent for the last 12 months.

if you are a freshie, thats fine, but try not to embarrass the australian flag next time you post.

The ban was an unknown over how it would affect him, if anything it helped him, fair call on Cumgod but the Ashes on English soil was a real test for all of them.

>Reminder the ICC only said to ban him for 3 or 6 months iirc
not even, it was like one or two tests for Bancroft, don't even know if they included Smith and Warner
but I disagree about the pace bowler bit, we were utterly exposed by Bumrah at home
And nobody is talking about Stokes walking

Can Archer still go back to play for the West Indies?

I doubt he'd do much good with consistency but he's got two things going for him:
>he's a right hander
>it's literally impossible for him to be any worse than what we've got now

Plus he has the chance to fire every now and then and absolutely demolish a bowling attack.

>it's literally impossible for him to be any worse than what we've got now
I'm joking mate, he's fucking awful. Worse than Roy

>hasn't watched any post match press conferences or analysiseses

Plenty of people are talking about Stokes walking.

England idea: don't expose Root to the new ball

Yeah and Roy is better than Warner, Finch at least usually gets a couple handsome drives off down the ground before he throws away his wicket.

It is a shame, yeah. Still, hopefully the World Cup win will give a boost in funding and people playing it in general. UK never used to be good at Olympics, then gave it a lot of funding and are now the 2nd best in the world in total and I think 3rd in capita behind you and USA. But that's what investment can do. We should be putting it into cricket. But we also need to boost stuff like netball, ice hockey, basketball (though I'd prefer not) and perhaps baseball (we have a Baseball World Cup too) and American Football.

As for cricket, we're a bit of a disgrace and I think the World Cup crumpled us due to exhaustion over the Super Over and generally nobody particularly wanted to do the Ashes. It sucks but, Double Chance ruined because >England >Good.

*moves further down the order*

Not possible mate, the only way England take the shine off the ball is by letting it cannon into their stumps.

ah yes expert analysis from tubbs.
They're only going on about it to prolong the "remember when Broad didn't walk lol" narrative, I doubt anybody is suggesting it had an impact on the game

Perhaps you'd appreciate hearing Ian Chappell harshly critiquing his captaincy:

youtube.com/watch?v=Qz7RuJBVz_M

meant to reply to If they are suggesting it had an impact on the game they're wrong

Loved that scene.

>but I googled it

Poor effort lad, two examples which immediately spring to my memory:
>Root asked about it in his post match press conference
>Michael Vaughan asked about it on his Cricbuzz report

Now of course both of them completely dismissed it as having no effect on the game, but the fact that they were asked about it shows that people (idiots) have indeed been talking about it.

>Finch is better than Warner, the guy averaging around 5 and with 3 ducks
Even if that were true and I reckon it's debatable it's a very low threshold, I think his average wasn't much higher when he was playing at home
Bancroft is the best person to bring back, he at least faces a lot of balls and puts a dent in the new ball, which is exactly what we need
I'd rather have some absolute shitter brought in to open like D'Arcy Short or Lynn over giving that fat cunt another shot

Not convinced on Bancroft, never have been, but at least he's a right hander yeah?
Definitely worth a go over warner if so.

This, bring Rogers back with Bancroft
Tell them to face 60 balls each, then throw away their wickets to let Labuschagne and Smith come to the crease

>hmm why would they ask irrelevant and pointed questions to fuel the heroic Stokes narrative and prolong the interview
tbf I didn't explain properly, when I said "And nobody is talking about Stokes walking" I meant in the context of impacting the match as you say, sure the meaning of it in the context of the hero Stokes and the coward Broad is still a talking point

>Rogers

Loved that man, such a shit technique for doing anything other than blunting the new ball, had an enormous string of 20-30s and I never batted an eyelid at his selection because he almost never failed to at least see off the newball which was 90% of his job.

It would be absolute pottery if the guy Warner exploited and threw under the bus was the very same guy to take his spot after he abjectly failed on the biggest stage in Australian test cricket.
Fuck I hope it happens

No they were pointed questions trying to see if they could get the interviewee to critique stokes for walking and throwing away the game.
That was my interpretation upon hearing them anyway.

TENA KOUTOU

TENA KOUTOU

TENA KOUTOU KATOA

Aussie test players who are done:
Warner, Khawaja, Head

Aussie test players in glorious ascension:
Smith, Lasagne, Cummins

He really didn't look that far off in the first two tests, much better than Warner easy
He's faced 25, 31, 66 and 40 balls this series, fairly shit but infinitely better than Harris and Warner. When we've got a firing middle order and Labushagne is fairly decent at facing the new ball but still an important wicket all we need is someone soaking up the strike at the top, the aggressive opener meme needs to die if we haven't got anyone good enough for it
And yeah he's a right hander, a lefty/righty partnership with Harris is the way to go, although throwing in two guys with limited experience is a bit risky (but can't be any worse than what we've got)

Your interpretation is wrong sorry mate

>He's faced 25, 31, 66 and 40 balls this series
GET HIM IN

I can't fucking stand all these nigger collision threads I fucking hate Americans so godamn much

>I know because although I didn't actually watch any of the post match media, I googled "stokes"

Not sure you're an authority on the subject matie

Just woke up, time for WoW Classic and a billy.

please don't use that word on /cric/ thanks

>Head
He will come good, next captain Smith possibly, assuming Labuschagne doesnt seek to be it or shits the bed

*be based*

Reminder for all who are doubting Warner that he is one of the best openers on the last 6 yeara also
>In spite of his flatlining form, Warner remains one of the most deadly second-innings batsmen in the game, especially when presented with the chance to build on a lead.
Just bring Bancroft in again for Harris and trust in Warner.
If he doesnt come good during the Aussie summer where is record is great then drop him for good

Here's Warner for contrast: 14, 8, 17, 11, 94, 2, 2, 6
And Harris: 12, 39, 24, 16
I think Burns shows that you just want someone who can settle in, get a bit of luck and see out the new ball. When you've got guys opening in this fucking atrocious England weather at the beginning of the day or right before play ends the odds are completely stacked against you, there's very little hope of playing aggressively and succeeding
Actually I did watch the post match stuff, I don't remember Atherton asking Root anything about stokes at the end of play last night and if he did it was a very minor point. You're talking about the glut of post match media shit where people are trying to wring it out and bring up new angles to earn their paycheque
I actually follow and understand cricket quite a bit and can use my rather large brain to understand that Stokes walking wasn't very insignificant to ultimate decision of the match, it's more about his big strong heroics, I don't need to rely on blog shitters on cricinfo to inform my understanding

Just need 3 for symmetry m8

joe burns deserves a crack

A full strength Queensland too order

need to keep head for all the '[insert bowler name here] gets head' headlines

Here is the truth
Stokes knew he nicked, Paine was gonna review it 100%
So instead he walks in hopes that a brave display of sportsmanship rallies the team to bat on for a draw to redeem Stokes
Stuff like walking is all a mental game and used to try and counter the momentum of the bowling side

Or maybe he just knew it was out and couldn't bear hanging around for a review
It's really not that big of a deal mate, don't get sucked into all this bullshit oversaturated media. There's definitely some class to it but it's doesn't deserve all this focus

No m8
Cricket is a mental game as well as a physical one
Which is why declarations are done even at 9 down with plenty of time left
There was no doubt Stokes walking helped the English dressing rooms morale a bit, he is the leader pretty much and doing something like that is seen as brave
Stupid nevertheless but can help team morale weirdly

I predict a couple minor changes of players you didn't expect and no change for the glaring ones.

Can't believe India have more points for heeming the west indies in two tests than the bonechilling slow burn that this ashes series has been

>Indeed, it may be Buttler who most exemplifies this team. Yes, he's talented. Yes, he can hit a white ball as well as anyone in the world. But he goes into the final Test of this series as a specialist batsman coming in at No. 7 and averaging just 16.25. Various other players - the likes of Pope, Moeen, Bairstow and Stokes - have been moved to accommodate him. But the return on the investment is modest and the reputation, in Test cricket at least, is bigger than the achievement.
>His returns shouldn't surprise us. He averages just 32.12 in first-class cricket. He's made only five first-class centuries in his entire career of 99 games. But his raw talent - his ability to hit balls to the boundary, really - has seduced the selectors into thinking he's something he's not and concluding that he can turn those figures around at the higher level. It's poor logic. He's been living off promise for years.
>That's, basically, the story of this England side. It's full of batsmen with big reputations and small averages. Batsmen who can impress for an hour or two but lack the old-school skills required to build match-defining innings. And bowlers who, while honest, were put in the shade by the sustained excellence of Cummins and Hazlewood. Yes, England did wonderfully well to win the World Cup. But in Test cricket, at least, they're not as good as they think they are. They need an honest appraisal of where they are - much like Jamaica in 2009 - if they are to move forward.
