youre all literal bootlickers and thats the only reason why the 9-5 working day is an actual thing. you really think your respective country would suffer dearly if you worked a bit less? youre all completely brainwashed. the 40 hour working week is literally barbaric

I work 30-hour weeks what now
fuck up poosh
people don't seethe about smith 2bh, he's not enough of a cunt
Zachy how can you get so worked up before morning tea time m8 take it easy
you work hours so you get more money, not because you actually need to to do your job
There are literally stands full of seething poms booing his every move m8
Led Zeppelin is fucking great. Thank You, England.
women want me
men want to be me
they ain't actually seething though, they're booing him because of the principle of booing australians and having good cause to is funny and banterous
I like Smith. His obvious love of cricket makes him really hard to dislike. He's not an obnoxious cunt like Steve Waugh was. Apart from Warner and Wade most of the current Aussie team seem pretty chill.

Boys, it's been great posting with you for the past eight and a half years. But the time has come to hang up the boots. Consider this my official announcement of my retirement from /cric/, Yea Forums, and Yea Forums entirely, as of the conclusion of the current Big Bash League season. We've certainly had our ups and downs. The thing that’s been inspiring and gratifying to me is that the community has really stepped up and supported each other through the hard times and the good times.
There a lot of veterans here who can step up to fill the leadership void after I'm gone, and there are a lot of fresh faces bringing in new ideas. I think this community has a lot of life left in it, and a lot more to give.
Brothers, what we do in life, echoes in eternity. In your actions, don't procrastinate. In your conversations, don't confuse. In your thoughts, don't wander. In your soul, don't be passive or aggressive. In your life, don't be all about business. Death smiles at us all. All we can do is smile back.
To the /cric/ organisation, you’ve helped shape me into the man I am today... I came here as a 21-year-old, and there’s been some incredible memories here and I can’t thank you enough for your support both on and off the field. To my colleagues, you’re only as good as the posters around you and I’ve been blessed over the years to post in some great threads and I can’t thank you enough. Especially this year, I know it’s been tough for all of us but your attitude that you’ve turned up each day, every day, I couldn’t ask for more and that’s all we ask of each other.
I’d like to thank the fans that have supported me all over these years, it’s been an incredible journey I’ve loved representing the /cric/ community and Yea Forums, and I’ve loved representing us on the wider Yea Forums website.
Strength and honour.
kys Daniel
Going to be a quality 9(22) from Denly this innings.

''''b-but people wont know what to do with their time'''
the level of brainwashing is honestly incredible right now. the 40 hour working week serves literally nothing but greed and shareholders
Fuck I hate that dumb fake blonde bitch on the block and I hate anyone who watches that fuckin low grade garbage, fuck
based sebbo shall take the banner bla

Australia have failed to take a wicket thus far lads.
where are 6s?
when's the brainiac bash starting lads
Wrong again
they have taken 10
aus really don't seem to be into this match
reckon they would've done better had NZ actually joined the commonwealth of australia when they were invited
That whole stand is a fucking eyesore
just a reminder that Denly and Burns' heroic 27 run opening stand was the HIGHEST opening stand this ENTIRE series. They're aiming for the record and over halfway there already.
lads imagine this:
Australasia XI vs Rest of World XI
touché
Last night. Fuck, those are so painful.
Do Australia care about this match? Should they?
looks a good day for batting, lads
For me it's having a happy organ
Even though he dropped it, he took the impact pretty well. Fair play to him.
cringe but based
>those
There were more?
reminder the only reason you work 40 hours a week is literal oppression
its not 'maximum progress' thats a complete fucking lie. human insight is progress. capitalism is greed. capitalism has no history in human progress whatsoever, its a modern invention serving greed
>>/pol/
30.
They should. Do you want to beat E gland away or draw a series, retain the ashes on boundaries scored, and know you still haven't won here since Waugh was captain?
Going down to the Pitch to get a wicket lads, anyone else want something?
this morning, i will remind them:
Bit anthrocentric. Capitalism IS and we're excess drag that will ultimately be phased out.
Like yourself
Nah just from experience, those are the most painful things. I didn't hear the result but I assume that broke his finger.
I've never seen a thin person drink diet coke.
this is the post
such as?
Looks like he palmed it but it just bounced off
Nah, split his webbing. Still fucking painful.
yes because a) you still wouldn't have won in England since 2001, and it doesn't go down as an ashes win in the tally, only a draw (even thugh you retain the actual trophy), and b) people can just say you technically should have lost 3-2 and were saved by rain in the 2nd test, and australia will want to get rid of that bants.
once you're thin you can get back on the good stuff
Lmao bumble.
>Commentary talking bout Jaeger Bombs
Dire stuff this lads
wasted
Boombul
Silly old cunt
nice digits
This is a grim game
I agree
40 hour 5 day is pointless really. We just hang on to it because it's all we know, and Brits are too shit scared to change anything and sucklers for "muh tradition!!!!".
I work 42.5 a week and I probably don't do more than 20 hours actual work when I'm there. The rest of it is just spent skiving
Cricket Idea: Train up an Elite bunch of fielders and sub them in to the other bowlers and batsman to ensure no dropped catches
just want to watch smith bat again
Need an England collapse toivej up the morning
Millennials are very lazy people, steeped in baseless entitlement.
NOOOO THIS CANT BE HAPPENING.
pitch looks lioke it's dying already
ball is getting old already
bowlers look a lil gassed
grim for australia
this is a dead rubber. england have literally no batting. have you seen the county scores in cricket this season? english batting is completely dead. england fluking a victory here should make no difference to any real cricket fan. only deano cares about this result
Business idea: cover the ball in velcro and give fielders big velcro handpads.
Business idea: the Ashes is just Archer bowling to Smith and Cummins bowling to Root.
Burns looking like he'll get a century here.
INB4 "b- b- but what about the boomers"
Swathy Rory Burns is truly the people's captain. The coward Joe Root needs to be dropped NOW
Let England have a chance.
Archer Bowls to Labuschagne
Boomers are selfish assholes.
Itchy asscheek lads.
That's basically Bancroft already though right?
Come here I'll scratch it for you
with my dick
Yeah, but we need to scale it up
imagine seeing it in action
1 Slips fielder to cover 1st to third slip
Bit gay really mate.
android fielders is the future
Got the sound off lads. Did Hazlewood say something nasty to Denly?
Are you homophobic
Let's not ruin another good batsman with the captaincy.
I'll take le 50 and out over Roy and other shitter's getting 10. Let stokes as vc handling the reviews and have Burns as 3rd in command advising on field placement.
Not true.
Milllenials will be working until their mid 70s. They'll likely have the longest working life in human history, as they're going to miss out on the automation + UBI revolution
>Brits are too shit scared to change anything and sucklers for "muh tradition!!!!".
The real reason is that change isn't offered to them. If Labour were to announce a policy for a 30-hour standard working week it would be popular, even with the media screeching about the red menace. When the establishment is actually forced to defend exploitative practices it struggles (see its reaction to Labour's right-to-buy policy for private tenants).
Yeah he said get ready for a broken fucking arse mate
Yeah
"Take good care of my child"
Referencing the fact that Denly is a cuck who had his wife fucked by Hazlewood to sire a child
Have Australia considered bowling them out?
Wow Australians are just nasty people, full stop.
just a reminder this is the longest opening stand of the series so far in terms of balls faced
On my way over right now to relay that information to the team lad
Let you know the results
Only insofar as using homophobia as a ploy to hide the fact I'm in the closet yeah.
And in that 50 odd years they will achieve approx 20 years productivity 15 years avoiding work on social media and 15 years complaining about how hard they have to work.
Could do with a cheeky wicket up my leg side lads
but also for Australia as well
They know Joe Root is too cowardly to declare and risk a loss so they are letting England bat out the next 3 days.
FOOTBALL CRAZY
CHOCOLATE MAD
GRAB A PACK OF POWER PODS
AND PLAY FOOTY WITH THE LADS
Mean streak for sure.
Good cant stand bigotry. So would you like me to scratch your bum with my knob or not.
Cummins looking exhausted already.
just a reminder every action influences the future
to say that england would have won this series bar rain is completely ridiculous
as if you could confidently say stokes miracle would have happened had rain not deprived england in the second test
certain man ITT really need to reevaluate reality
Virgo and Capricorn are the grimmest zodiac signs.
Can't imagine focusing my self-worth entirely on money or work.
don't get this aussie meme of "rotating" their bowlers to keep them at peak performance but then force their best one to play like every game anyway
just an excuse for when they drop them I guess
Yeah but if anyone asks it wasn't consensual.
my shitposting about 2-2 being a fair result is going well
because once it happens i'm going to shitpost instead about how it would be 3-2 england if not for weather saving aussies in second test
The Oval is such a grim fucking ground. Ugly, bland and situated in a shitty deprived area.
Imo if a team doesn’t bowl the required overs then the batting side gets given runs for the remaining overs at whatever their average run rate is for the innings
>Be Aussie
>Fuck around all day
>Have 10 overs left to bowl but run out of time
>England averaging 4 rpo
>England gets 40 runs added to their total
Thoughts?
Maybe that plus an additional fixed penalty (of say 25 runs) so teams with a low run rate don’t get fucked, or we need to punish the bowling side more
Burnsey's got a weird arsey style
kek get a load of this virgo over here.
Yeah he looks like he's trying to be a 1940s pinup girl at the crease.
Tbh I'd much rather tell people I had consensual gay sex than admit to being raped.
Why did Wade get dropped as the (wk)?
It needs to be evaluated on both sides as the batting side wastes time as well
usually 3 overs every day to escape an extra over before each break and at stumps
Too much bum talk in /cric/ today.
Who /gemini/ here?
not many aussie flags today
where did they all go?
Are you a homophobe
He's one of the old boys and post cheating scandal they needed a squeaky clean image, hence Paine.
seething
Sat night, they're all on hot dates with Asian gfs
certain man ITT really need to reevaluate reality
australians are the most fairweather spectators of sport
not enough elite honesty in his keeping
I reckon we should just accept that over rates are lower in the modern game. Make 13 per hour the new standard and extend the day to 7 hours so that 90 overs can be bowled.
YES GAZZA LEAK RUNS FOR ME GAAZZZAAAA
Burns isn't a bad player, decent find for the poms. I just think hes such a little faggot though. Shit haircut and a little manlet faggot.
more like nathan flyin'
TONK
And there it is.
HERIOC partnership by Denly and Burns.
This is the highest opening partnership of this series so far, beating the previous 27.
My fellow Australians and I only make posts when there is something extremely witty and insightful to say to add to the benefit of the thread.
Sudden rush of work needed doing
No, the bottom is just not in my top three body parts
I thought of that
Consider the following though
The bowling side will be under pressure to hurry the fuck up
If the batsmen is constantly fucking around delaying the bowler from running in then get gets a warning. Get enough warnings and you have to walk.
Or if that’s too harsh at least with the bowlers now forced to hurry up and the batsmen is now fucking around it’s now obvious it’s not the bowlers fault and you can punish the batting side accordingly.
Currently they all feed off each other and both sides fluff around non stop and it sucks, and they all blame the other.
Make one side accountable and you’ll catch the other out as well if they too fuck around.
certain man ITT a literal brainlet
Siddle is going to be looking for a wicket here.
>HERIOC
BOWLING GAZZA, GIVE 'EM A HUNDRED MATE

he lead surrey to the division 1 title last year, proper captain, FUCK root (and fuck that meek merchant buttler)
I remember when he had hair on top m8
>95433603
curran's haircut is worse
he has the head of a prepubescent school boy with hair that looks like it was done by his cell mate in jail
not a dead rubber mate, you realise it doesn't go down as an ashes win if you lose this game right? You've just technically retained the trophy. The all-time tally of ashes series won't record this as an australian win.
the pies are on fire
>Athletes are fitter faster and stronger than ever
>paid more than ever
>dedicate more of their lives to the sport than ever before
>we should accept a slower game
Those facts don’t add up. Sport science, players health and mechanics etc are state of the art and yet they’re supposed to get away with playing LESS?!
No fucking way. To many softcunts these days, start whining when they can’t bowl a perfect ball everytime
>muh economy, Hope gaffa doesn’t drop me
Getting tired and standards slipping (giving the batsmen a chance late in the day) is part of cricket
T20 becoming the norm has lead to an inflated expectation of maintaining an elite standard of delivery right throughout a test innings
Please respect me and DO NOT under any circumstance try to "chat me up", K.

C'mon based Brissy Lions
i don't love cricket
Every blond guy has that haircut over here. Don't ask why.
I don't see why we should force teams to bowl 15 overs an hour when they're clearly not comfortable with it. The quality would surely suffer if we made them hurry through the overs.
Why is this bloke in the team again? He's bowling 35mph less than the other guys.
oh no
Reckon Australia will be looking to get at least 1 wicket here.
For me it's Banshee
i love it

BARRY CHECK THE FUSEBOX
Love seeing spin bowlers btfo desu
I don’t think they’re real cricketers, unless you’re a freak of nature like Shane Warne

>I don't see why we should force teams to bowl 15 overs an hour when they're clearly not comfortable with it. The quality would surely suffer if we made them hurry through the overs.
Did you even read my post?
I know all of that and don’t care, they shouldn’t be coddled, and standards slipping is a good thing. Means batsmen are gonna have more chances to attack late in the day.
So fucking good that.

ringing through the ears of every Aussie player
Regardless, AFL finals.
yes the previous record was 27 (and like 50 balls or so), Burns and Denly last innings
So England have this in the bag lads?

.
*batsman gives his wicket away*
Out
Sorry, I'm a brainlet. Still don't agree that lower standards would be a good thing though. You already have an element of the fielding side losing freshness and focus as an innings goes on, without making them tire themselves even more.
you were saying?
unironically wished lyon get no wickets
Good 'ol Le Fifty & Out Man
I know why people want Burns as captain but he's only played 11 Tests and he's averaging below 30. He could still go the way of Robson or Jennings.
good job mate
Openers did their job. Middle order will now post 300 easily.
>Fried Chicken topped with mac and cheese and some smokey bbq wings. Good combo.
should've went with parmi and a pint from the local pub m8
Classic jinx well done m8
Nathan Lyon is probably the worst spinner that any of the Test sides have
tbf Burns has been the top England batsman this series so it's not like he's been proven wrong. A single 20 doesn't change it.
Why do women cover up their freckles, lads? Makes me sad.
Reminder
should have sent in Leach to steady the ship
for me, it's liverwurst on fresh bread
I know you are trolling but either the top order or the lower middle order does well, never both
Yeah, I'd rather be aware of their presence so I don't get an awful shock later.
>In conversation with my dad

Love my Dad but he spends a good 5-6 hours every night watching the television. Why do older generations think tv is somehow better?
My dear bro
aussies rattled here
they think the content of TV is more worthwhile than the content of videogames
which isnt entirely wrong but idk what your dad watches
How does he feel about board games?
father was the same, couldn't believe I didn't "grow out" of playing video games at like 12-13 or something and spent that long in front of a screen
meanwhile watches TV all evening after dinner
He watches Say Yes to the Dress Australia
My dad was similar until he played Gran Turismo and then Metal Gear Solid 2 which is his favorite ever game, fukken based
TV is far worse because it is less interactive and doesn't make you think. Also boomers tend to just watch whatever's on the main channels and will mindlessly watch through the commercial breaks.
is he profoundly interested in women's clothing
because that might still be more worthwhile than day after day of MMORPGs

7 or 8 teams which are strong enough to put on good displays nearly all the time, the rest are just random or shit
You can't have RSA, England and NZ as "your teams" ffs
Poocastle 1 up lmao
why not?
kidding side i saw two south african shirts while out shopping this morning, the WC is taking over already
>no
stopped reading there m8, don't care rugby, just know you selected all the top teams and pretend it gives you some sense of pride
Because those countries are enemies in rugby mate wtf is wrong with you

Please dont talk about rugby, it upsets Zach.
it's spelt gnads m8
australia is geographically the ugliest country in the world and all australian women have fannies that smell like kedgeree left outisde the fridge for two days
surprised steve bruce isn't watching the cricket desu
Is Boomble a Yorksh*reman
lancastrian
loves accy stanley, loves the fall, simple as
same kind of pride as it does when i see how many sides take cricket seriously tbg
multiple continents, different races, etc
literally their rivals m8.. lancashire
couldn't have been more wrong.
all their fannies smell like sunblock lad trust me
pozzedstralia on losing this game watch
Love Bumble, Hate Boycott simple as.
>same
stopped reading there mate, just assume you're coping on an immense scale right now
Got to be careful mate, that's like someone asking if you're an ozzy
its true i admit it i'm in absolute tears and struggling to get these futile words down
london eye is a shit gimmick 2bh
>love bumble
It's happened to me quite a few times overseas and I've just said no, I'm from NZ.
tbf boycott's commentary on brian lara cricket was based
better than the johnson's multiple eyesores all over the city
Love rugby
Love cricket
Hate septics
Simple as.
big fan of guha
boycott is good on radio commentary
just dont want to see ugly aged face ever again t b h
brainbomb idea: bumble and boycott on the same comms
rival counties and opposing personalities, wht could go wrong
Don't know why people said boycott wasn't an aesthetic batsman, he hit some beauties in his time.
Wonder what her fanny smells of
>poot
Same desu
>just dont want to see ugly aged face ever again t b h
me neither
guha is literally a great commentator
aussies may now post again
yeah him and agnew are pretty good as a team desu
swann can fuck off though, hate that goblin faced prick
>poot
ON YA BIKE YOU POM DOG
phwoar wouldn't mind raising three generations of children in the same house with her
is she a pornstar?
well that's Roots captaincy gone.
THE COWARD JOE ROOT
The series losing Joe Root
Would coward punch Boycott down some stairs, no hesitation.
fuck joe 'poot' root
If Isa Guha was a pornstar she'd be called Is A Gusha
less joe root
more gary ballance
if it's 2-2 root has no chance of losing the captaincy mate
Joe Root more like Joe fuck you're so fucking shit fuck off, amirite?
KEK
>retires midway through an ashes series to keep his career bowling average a 0.04 shade under 30
swann is the biggest wanker and traitor who has ever existed. and hes pathetically unfunny
Is there, dare I say it, time for another wicket before lunch?
Nearly time for Zachy's 1pm seethe.
the dynamic and exciting mitchell marsh
Root passing the responsibility off to someone else again
weak character
It should be every England fand duty to hate Graeme Swann.
business idea: swann executed at the tower of london with pietersen's bane
its a shame, as I always liked him as a player, but he comes across really badly as a pundit
tipping denly to go the big three figures today
Reminder again

>the televised murder of Joe Denly's crotch
Vaughan can be fucking awful as well. He was almost God to me after 2003 and 2005, but then you find out he's a bit of a wanker
grim
swann was a certified wanker though
he's a guy who loves hism own jokes, but no one else finds him funny
this, also the big cheese matt prior, fuck that shit cunt too
Root could literally have lost this 5-0 and he still would have carried on as captain.
Not sure how much credit he really deserves for 2005.
lol he wasnt even that good, just guy from county cricket who happened to know how to turn a ball
pietersen way more irreplaceable than swann ever was
For me, it's Phillip Tufnell on commentary
Massively impressed by Ponting as a commentator, most insightful of the lot on sky atm
loved swann when he was playing, was probably my favourite england player of that period
but he has since proven himself to be a cockbend
his commentary for the india vs west indies series was awful as well, constantly making stupid quips only he thinks are funny
Swann is the just the dickhead version of Dominic Cork
Agree
For me it's Rigor and Russ Arnold.
Ponting seems a good egg. After Smith got conked there was a story going round about the time Langer get hit on the head by Ntini and had to spend 3 days in hospital. On day 5 with Australia 8 down fighting for the draw Langer comes back in padded up, thinking he's going to get a hero's welcome. Instead Ponting gave him a bollocking and told him to fuck off and said he'd rather lose the test

this was a banger . the nu remix is horrendous
batting with a broken hand is courageous, batting after a head injury is just retarded and could get you seriously hurt
divegrass is absolutely terrible for letting players play on when they might be concussed as well
saw Cork playing against Lancashire when I used to go to Old Trafford with my dad for Day-Night Matches in the late 90s, seeing the end stages of Michael Atherton's career and watching the emergence of Flintoff.
Good times
Him and Darren Gough were always crowd favourites at Old Trafford during the Roses games
Gough used to cop so much shit from the crowd and play along
It's no coincidence that the England team which was ranked #1 in the world contained a large amount of cunts desu.
I think it would have been a far better team if it had had a strong leader to rein in the cunts. It might not have fallen apart so quickly either.
Lads, I thought it was Brisbane's year?
for me it's strutting around during the lunch break to this
youtu.be
Confirmed cunts: Anderson, Broad, Swann, Prior, KP
Anyone else? 5/11 cunts is pretty good going desu
>check score 40 minutes ago
88/2
>check score now
88/2
Yea, Australia are going to loose this one for sure
Check score now
>2/157
grim
Are we dead lads
just finishing off my pizza wizza lad
Why is no one talking about dat F bomb?
Extrapolating that would suggest a draw is on the cards.

>I haven got a fucking clue
kek
>TMS
>sky commentary

>because they go too fast
good thing aussies don't like footie then
why are there so many wh*tes on Zimbabwe’s team? Didn’t Based Mugabe wipe out that plague years ago?
So lads who shit Garrerty Ballance?
Salah makes it 3 lads
When will Australia declare their surrender?
Yeah but the years clapped back at ol’ Mugabe.
wish to say that Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp is a good album, soundtrack to a better world
turns out uneducated black tribesmen aren't very good at things that require long-term exposure and training
cringe but redpilled
Knew a zimbabwe lass at uni, she thought mugabe was a great man doing great things for the country. Slightly worryingly she was studying to become a doctor. Sometimes wonder how that worked out.
she's not a doctor on the zimbo paycheck for sure, but she's supporting them from overseas
how bad is smith
needs to immediately dropped
Think England have dropped Smith enough times this series already tbqh.
so many aussies day 1
what happened lads? they all disappeared? Remarkable honestly. One day it's spamful of Aussies others it's a dead thread.
has stokes got something better to do? doing his best to get out here
I'm still here. Preparing my laugh at England thread when we inevitably win this last test laddy.
>180-2
no
Based Boycs using the world chassé in commentary now he's been knighted
Fuck. What have I done, lads?
>on anxiety medication
>they make me unable to fap
>have to take them at night
>waited the whole day to finally bust out a quickie
>hay fever was acting up so I decided to take a zyrtec before I get started
>took the anxiety medication instead
at least we won the ashes lads
whos this?
anime cunt pls
*retained
Just seen smith's drop. Loved the way he falls over with his arms in the air afterwards, the man's a comedy genius.
