>let’s all laugh at the Bears
Good edition

Certain man looking very silly re his South Africa prediction

ah yes the NZ golden years where they bottled a couple of world cups

no shame in losing to Afghanistan desu
they've been about Sri Lanka level (maybe even a bit better) for a while now

Climbing is fun
Running is a chore

Which word was spelled incorrectly?
Do you not know the word foundering?

Oh my stars spaccy you really did graduate with a second.

Founder is when a ship fills with water and sinks. Hence the HMS Invincible.

All those pseud alt lit books and you still don't know english

founder (v) - to fail after a period of time because something has gone wrong

founder - to become submerged : SINK

In the early hours of the 7th of December, a German liner named the Deutschland, sailing from Bremen to New York, foundered and broke up on the Kentish coast.

Jesus you are a nitwit

saw zachy's vid
utterly
fucking
dire

not even going to post it here because it's honestly so embarrassing
gives it all this chat about climbing but all he's doing is literally going sideways 90% of the time then spends the last 5ish seconds touching (not climbing to) the top grip and calls it a day with a virgin jump off
humiliation ritual

>>144515066
He also doesnt know english

>touching (not climbing to) the top grip
what on earth does this even mean

>>144515146
What does founder mean?

remember when someone used the word 'flounder' and everyone is zachy schizo had a massive meltdown over it being an extremely rare word that only one poster would ever use. kek

nah, missed that one.

If Graham Thorpe listened to this every morning he'd have never a*glo shitter'd himself
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AETFvQonfV8
>4B views
Yes that is correct

Zachy you already posted that one in the previous thread mate

>>144515327
vaguely remember that

it was actually 'floundering'

Everyone is zachy schizo has been taken up by countystreamsperg now, who regularly accuses everyone calling him a sperg zachy
everyone is a vpn schizo is a separate entity

>>144515817
it was both, I checked (I didn't remember myself - kinda sad he did)
it was more that he used both in quick succession whilst pretending to be 2 different personas

and then he had a meltdown trying to defend himself (probably why he still remembers it)

I am the only poster in this thread that isn't Zachy
Bard dying a few years back broke him

>gets trolled
>has massive spergout in reply
this is why Indians aren’t allowed to post, all mentally under-aged

YFO btw

Pretty sure founder and flounder can be used, but really the former is a cast-maker and the latter is a fish.

wtf zachy mate explain what your boys are up to? why are there mushroom clouds over russia?

>>144515883
>Everyone is zachy schizo has been taken up by countystreamsperg now, who regularly accuses everyone calling him a sperg zachy

nah, drink has been the ruin of you zachy mate. would have produced multiple heirs and would be scaling v8 (at least) by now if you had become a /strongmind/ teetotal chad. sad that you can't see it

for me its a single large beer on saturday night

simply don't know for sure what other destination other paths would have led to

every day we above ground is a great day

Lancashire vs Somerset very much the match to keep an eye on today lads

The overpaid train driver is immunised against all dangers: One may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him an overpaid train driver and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I’ve been found out".

bit coming from a parasite laptop thumber in a made up job

me? A laptop thumber in a non-made up job

zachy is literally a laptop thumber himself lmao

Early 20s life in London was quite fun desu
Bit of humble toiling throughout the week with the world at your feet, and then meet up with the lads and ladies after toil on Fridays for some lively pre-drinks and ready to dance the night away in Infernos
Can't go back. Can't go back

business idea: never use the term "laptop thumber" ever again

i pay your wage

bard and zachy will both move back to London at some point in the future
they long for it and there's nothing to do where they are now

>>144524386
All I wanted was about four more years of that lifestyle before I'd accept it was over and become middle-aged
Was that really too much to ask?
But it was already dying and covid delivered the final blow

>>144524384

come to surrey zachy its comfy and a nice distance from london

>>144524401
there's a bouldering gym and picturehouse here

>>144524401
It's simply too late for it now
I'm 31, not far from 32
All my friends there moved away and are mostly married
What am I gonna do, move back there and get a bunch of zoomer friends so that I can return to the carefree and hedonistic days of my youth?
It's over

>>144524408

bard will have a similar cope about running and going to lidl I'm sure. just dire and you both know it

Don't think I'll ever forgive my friends for getting their lives sorted out and becoming real adults by the age of 26

That's just not the way it's meant to be, particularly not in big cities

>implying that bard and zachy are different people

>>144524421
It's a difficult one desu
Have thousands of acres of beautiful nature literally on my doorstep for running, cycling, and walking
Brummies come here as a special treat on the weekends, but I get it whenever I want and as often as I want
It's true that there's not much going on in town, but at this stage of my life I'm limited to pre-arranged meet-ups about once every 2-3 months anyway, so I don't think it'd change too much if I lived in a city (I suppose I could make an entirely new group of friends, but simply cba at my advanced age)

also if you have a guest over (lol) do you gather round your laptop to watch something lol
you're not a student grow up

>I suppose I could make an entirely new group of friends
yes because this is certainly possible and always happens after the age of 25

What the UK lacks is a really good outdoorsy city
Place with lots of young people all passionate about outdoor pursuits, easily accessible just outside the city boundaries
NZ and Canada have them, but in the UK you've only really got Fort William (and who the fuck wants to live in Scotland)

>>144524462
Currently have my brother staying with me and we watch TV on the laptop every evening

>>144524463
All you have to do is a join a sports team desu, not that difficult making friends
The cricketing adage one brings two is even more applicable to the friendmaking context

>>144524464
Leeds, Sheffield, York

>you're not a student
>watches TV/film with his (exclusively male) mates like a student
if I have a guest over I'm straight into banging her mate
know this'll be hard for you to relate to given your grimy little bedsit

>All you have to do is a join a sports team
this was debunked 5-6 /cric/s ago
those people already have proper friends most of the time. they can become associates that you have the odd drink with. that's it

>Currently have my brother staying with me and we watch TV on the laptop every evening
Grim

>>144524476
you've never had a guest over jay, and it's not a bedsit you demented fatty

>>144524475
None of those are outdoorsy cities
Sheffield is probably the closest, but it doesn't compare with the likes of Queenstown or Nelson

>>144524483
Nah if you're not a complete spacker it's normally fairly easy to become part of their wider friendship groups too, and start to meet new people

probably costs like 40 quid to play a spot of cricketing in donedon

>>144524484
Should give bumdering a go

>>144524501
Since the debacle of £13 match fees (no teas, no umpires) at my local cricketing club I've been trying to do an audit of all cricketing clubs in the nation and seeing how it compares

I was looking at clubs in and around the Oxford area and saw there was quite a bit of variance desu, with some even more horrifically overpriced than that, but some a fair bit cheaper too

I reached the same conclusion from my audit of cricketing clubs in Worcestershire, so I'm not sure if it's necessarily more expensive in the south east

30+ comments in an hour and I didn't read one of them

We have odi too today ?

A playful joke, done intentionally
I think I might have mixed up there and their accidentally before, due to posting while suffering from acute mental fatigue

>also that time you said your sister was the UC GOAT
An average of 25 correct answers away from the pressure of the studio lights and without having to be the quickest on the buzzer isn't particularly remarkable, particularly for an Oxford PhD
My own average of about 12.8 pales in comparison though, admittedly

>>144524637
Yeah it's a shame they buggered off
Having said that, about 90 percent of them were low-quality posters who would just regurgitate dull memes instead of actually talking to each other

>>144524638
I think there's at least several of them, but don't really care to get dragged back into the dreary debate around who's behind which persona and which VPN etc, given that there's no way of any of us knowing

>trusting any bone-pressed self reported UC ''''scores'':

Pretend to be schizo to wind people up sometimes me

Why is EVERY decent house a mere 25K (one tier on the Rightmove drop-down) outside of my price range

They're doing this on purpose

>>144524836
By the time you've saved that extra £25k, house prices will have risen by another £30k more
I've been playing that game for the last four years unfortunately

>>144524910
yeah need to rely on salary increases to bump your mortgage up further
but they're constantly agreeing them 6-8 months after nowadays and then backdating them rather than getting it sorted before April

Hasn't the housing market over there dipped? It's dropped maybe 20% in the last year. It was pretty bad here though

>>144524971
lmao we should be so lucky
Grew massively during covid because there was a freeze on stamp duty, and lots of people rushed to move
I think two years ago there was a catastrophic year-on-year drop of like 2%, but now it's back to increasing every year again
End of the day, if you flood the country with hundreds of thousands of immigrants each year and don't build many houses, prices will continue to go up

>>144524971
only in real terms, since the interest rate/inflation hikes of around 2 years ago it's been fairly static, but hasn't really dropped
and recently is increasing again

>only in real terms

bard complains about off-topic ruining /cric/ and then proceeds to post about toil, housing, university and everything else except cricket. what a neek

I've had as many as three (3) on-topic posts this morning, whereas you haven't talked about cricket (a sport you have no interest in) since 2017

Obviously there's got to be a balance, and not literally every post has to be about cricket

Sometimes the cricket-watching community wants to shoot the shit about other topics (the bankers, the bonuses, etc)

But cricket has to be the background theme to which we all periodically return, that much is obvious

Would prefer Somerset (humble west country brothers) not to be cucked out of yet another title, particularly because it means it'll go to Surrey again

Only have themselves to blame though

Would love Notts or Bears to get relegated instead of Lancs, but even with these latest round of fixtures I think Lancs are still most likely to go down

Lancs are coming down to New Road for the final match, and I'd gladly throw that game if it meant one of those others going down instead

Pears just need a front-line pacemand and a world-class middle-order bat and then we're favourites for the 2024 CC desu

>>144525048
nobody cares about cricket anymore tho
bard and countystreams are the last ones half trying. the test threads get little traffic compared to 6-7 years ago
even r/cricket (yes, I went there once or twice) is just jeets talking about IPL

My solution?
Take Sam Cook and David Bedingham on a tour of the Worcestershirian countryside (keeping them well away from Kidderminster and Redditch) and let them see just how pleasant life can be here

It's to sit down for a day and talk with whoever you go to the game with

Thus we have established that off-topic is ON-TOPIC unless such a passage of play is happening, as that is what you would do at a cricket stadium.

Absurd, made-up concept

>Essex have until Oct. 2 to appeal. Reuters has contacted the county club for comment.
>"The racism experienced at Essex County Cricket Club over a period of many years was abhorrent, and the evidence of those subjected to abuse was deeply disturbing," said Dave Lewis, the interim director of the Cricket Regulator.
>"They have shown real bravery in speaking out. I hope that this prosecution will help ensure that no one suffers again as they did and that racism of this kind is never normalised."
>Lewis said the sanctions were decided after a "long and complex investigation" after the club had conducted its own investigation.
>"The CDC panel took into account the fact that Essex had pleaded guilty to the charge and has already taken significant action to address these issues and become a more inclusive club," Lewis added.

>Last year, Yorkshire were fined 400,000 pounds and handed a 48-point deduction in the County Championship by the CDC over their handling of racism allegations made by Azeem Rafiq.
>The former England Under-19s captain of Pakistani descent told a British parliamentary committee in 2021 of 'inhuman' treatment at Yorkshire and said he had been a victim of institutional racism at the club.
inb4 it was just bants which has been part of every sport for thousands of years

Not reading all that

>Newton, whose independent investigation was commissioned by Essex three years ago, concluded, among several findings, that “curry muncher” was used to describe players of South Asian heritage and a cricketer was nicknamed “bomber” after the September 11 attacks. A Black cricketer was taunted by another player “offering him bananas in [a] manner which was unequivocally racist”, Newton’s report added. A player on trial sharing accommodation with the cricketer threw a banana down the stairs and told him to “go fetch it, you fucking monkey”.

I'm quite rorke-ish and think the whole Azeem Rafiq affair was nonsense made up by an opportunistic grifter, but some of this seems a little too far

Don't understand why Somerset don't just take some facking wickets

I've found my cricket interest badly waning over the last 5 years
just don't care about it the way I used to mainly because t20 is fucking gay and obviously the main focus now
and the powers that be simply don't care about protecting test cricket
most test nations play in front of empty stadiums
it's dead

I find the local connection helps
International cricket is increasingly soulless, the soul of cricket remains in the county championship

Very comfy to just go down to your local cricket ground by yourself, with nothing more than a bottle of red and a good book for company

no. I live in a minor county

Would have to go for your nearest major county instead, but appreciate it's not quite the same

hopefully by then they've done away with the archaic county system and refranchised everything in line with the hundred to give it a level of competition

they need money to sustain it

winviz be like 'I can predict the outcome of the match from here'

also I was mainly talking about tests
county is mostly for retired blokes with nothing else happening, fair

Can't see Australia ever taking another wicket

>>144525577
extrapolating the current trend, australia could bowl infinity overs and take zero wickets

England really need to take advantage of Michael Pepper being half decent at the moment to have a Salt and Pepper opening partnership

Maybe fast track Mustard the younger into the #3 spot too, so you get the Salt, Pepper, Mustard opening trio

holy epic intro song!!!

Another edition of lower order saves the day, yay! We almost got embarrassed by Bangbros.
I swear every test we win is either won by bowling or bowlers/Pant playing a heroic innnings. The bats men are completely fucking SHIT.

Fat fuck Rohit needs to retire, Kohli needs to be taken out back to the shed he's completely cooked in tests, KL Rahul should not be allowed to touch a bat in any format of the game ever.

Sarfaraz needs to play at any cost, he would have got a double on this Chennai pitch, instead he's being benched by the spastic that is KL Rahul. Heck I wouldn't mind seeing Sarafaraz's younger brother Musheer in the team either. He's supposedly the bigger talent and was cooking in the recent Duleep Trohpy.

Bailey strikes with his second ball, 9 away from a good win

the modern 26-35 year old boomer male was built to boulder

bouldering seems a pretty npc thing nowadays
drove past one of those places the other day and it was full of broccoli headed zoomzooms

>>144525754
It's almost like people were talking about non-cricketing related matters when the cricket wasn't on and then switched to cricketing-related matters when the cricket started

A truly bizarre state of affairs, agreed

I bet Adam Zampa drinks specialty coffee, drinks double-hopped IPAs, and supports Palestine

kohli's big ton on that road a couple of years ago reminds me of alastair cook double at the mcg a few years prior. seems like kohli's innings will extend his test career much longer than cook's did however

so true

Devotion towards ones mother is admirable

bard playing more forward defences than Balderson kek
really really on the ropes since being called out for his hypocrisy

>>144525838
Honestly? I have a weak forward defence
If I could forward defend I wouldn't have got two (2) golden ducks in my last 2 (two) innings, both bowled (for shame)
I'm more of a forceful front-foot cut sort of guy

not sure why being on the ropes is a bad thing when it gets you 4 or 6 runs iykwim haha

completely avoidable kek, they picked a non international standard ground to save costs. It didn't even rain that much, just a few showers during the night and they just couldn't get the outfield ready.

>>144525804
He's been cooked in tests since his eye surgery in 2019, lost his hand eye coordination but somehow he managed in white ball but red ball is a different beast. We're going to lose another WTC final before Gambhir finally grows a pair and moves the deadweight out.

ricky ponting facing tim bresnan at the mcg in 2010 and making him look like curtly ambrose at the waca

The left-arm spinner who bowled me around my legs was genuinely Warne-tier thoughever
From where it first pitched I thought it was a certain wide, so thought I'd chuck a sweep at it and either get 4 or a wide
All of a sudden, I hear the sickening thud behind me of the bails being dislodged
Still haunts my nightmares

adam zampa is the kind of person who likes facebook memes featuring LNP politicians faces pasted onto famous scenes from the simpsons

The umpire (a former England Test player, as it goes) might have said that he'd never seen a ball turn so much in his life, if he had offered an opinion about it

thought you called him a pie chucker before m8
another cheeky bard history rewrite in the works I see

>>144525873
I don't believe you.

>>144525923
Not that one desu
Pretty much every spinner I've faced, even for our first XI, has been a pie chucker who barely spins it
But this guy played in Worcestershire Div 1 (I only faced him cos it was a midweek fixture) and was a genuinely talented spinsman, probably the best I've faced (difficult to say from only one ball thoughever)

>>144525697
Boycotting this series because of ongoing mudslim genocide against Bangladeshi Hindus. But seeing the scorecard, KL's had enough chances. Who is Akash Deep? Not seen Safraz either

bard's the wrong side of 30. eyes must have properly gone
doubt anyone celebrated getting him out for a duck

>>144525962
As I strutted out to the middle with an arrogant swagger, wielding my old second-hand kit and my bat which barely even has a grip on anymore, they knew I was the star batsman

When they managed to fluke my dismissal the whole team celebrated as one, because they knew it was game set and match at that point

Looks like England have decided to take this brainletbash lark seriously again

The plucky Pears doing much better in this second innings bowling performance, feel like it's a bit too late though

Haven't taken a lunch break yet

Sarfaraz debuted in the Ind vs England series earlier this year, did fine but got overshadowed by Jaiswal who had a breakthrough series. He averages 70 in FC and has been on the fringes for years.

Akash Deep is fine, Bengal player, fast medium, he's one of the 3-4 bowlers in contention with no clear front runner. All of them will get a chance.

You can easily work out the rat brain logic in picking KL:
>All eyes on BGT later this year, we need an experienced team who are used to the conditions. Sarfaraz's strength is playing spinners in India and he won't be able to handle the bounce down under. Meanwhile KL has a test hundred in Australia so let's pick him!

Reality;
>KL is a donkey that averages 20 in Australia which is inflated by his one fluke hundred and Sarfaraz has more talent in his toe nails than KL. Sarfaraz needs to be prepped NOW so that he's ready for BGT but even if he isn't, it will be invaluable experience when we tour Australia the time after and as a future mainstay of the team it's in the teams long term best interest to play him for that experience.

Gambhir has been a disappointment so far.
