Where will this rank on the list of England ODI humiliations if Saffas win 132-0?
ah yes zachy and britjeet on at the same time again what a coincidence hahaand now he just initiated a self-convo, brilliant haha
It was actually me who posted the expensive piano thing, while using incognito mode. I knew you would all leap on it, like hungry dogs as I toss out treats.Once again I prove my unparalleled ability to do play this board like Jaco on a fretless fender jazz

Poetry, at least intelligent poetry rather than the Pam Ayers/Rupi Kaur stuff, is one of those things which is always a few decades ahead of the mainstream zeitgeist. Sort of like avant garde music, where your Terry Rileys and Steve Reichs start doing a thing, then it takes a few years to percolate until every post punk act like Can or Kraftwerk are doing it too. Eg poets were doing the autofiction thing for decades before novelists cottoned on, or Ashbery and OHara playing the Pynchon De Lillo piano years before
One of many such examples of things invented by brown people claimed by whites. Algebra, soap, sex with women, the list goes on

Wonder if Zafar Ansari regrets his decision yet
>yeah let me just be a loser neek getting forced to play the donedred and not make millions and do tarq-level coke every night as a big shot lawyer haha
He’s a barrister with chambers at inner temple, doubt he regrets it at all. He’ll get a few years experience then move to magic circle, will make more than all but the most highly paid cricketers, and have another 30 years to practice rather than being washed at 35 and getting a job coaching.He’s probably already on £100k. How much is the average 33 year old cricketer earning right now?
>zeitgeist>percolate
>>150552641So he earns £100k (pretty much nothing in London, enough to buy a 2-bed flat if you're lucky) to spend 10 hours a day in an office doing the same mind-numbingly boring shit as he'll have to do every day for the next 30 years as a big shot lawyer
>Ex-actor Zack Polanski's unusual path to become Green Party's new leaderZaky C made it and now Zacky P has toowhen will bowen join them
>I don’t always discuss contemporary poetry, but when I do I avoid using them there fancy wordsCricketers are paid like shit and always have been. Was reading about the South Africa rebel tours, and for most of the clinching factor was it would let them put a deposit on a house, which they’d never earn playing county or England matches. Botham got on his high horse, but he was making loads from endorsements and appearances so didn’t have the same pressures. The expectation back then was you played cricket basically for free, then start an actual career in your mid thirties.
>magic circlereminds me of virgins practising card tricks in their parents' basement
>>150552670He only earns 100k now because he dicked around playing cricket so he’s a few years behind the others. That number is only going up, and he’ll be pulling 350 base plus massive commissions by the time he’s 50 if he’s smart.
>>150552708Would be curious to know what the average county cricketer earns (let's say Lewis Hill at Leicestershire or Matt Taylor at Gloucestershire), I would guess it's still at least £50kAnd keep in mind that Zafar Ansari was a Surrey all-rounder who had just broken into the England side at 25 or so, there's a fair chance he'd have got a big central contract and/or earned tens of thousands extra each year through franchise shite>>150552738I expect he's probably on more than £100k currently desu, but - even so - don't think it really makes it worth itOh wow you ended up with a £1.4 million townhouse in Pimlico and a younger wife with fake tits, all it cost you was toiling away for 10 hours per day 6 days a week doing boring shit in an officeThe man could have had true glory, but he chose to just be a slightly richer toilsman

>>150552830I simply do not accept that anything about this lifestyle brings happiness or contentmentAnd it should be so blindingly obvious for an educated man to see
bet 14 year old mixed race girls on buses used to call bard a hard time when he lived in Donedon
He found the cricketing life as mind numbing as you think the work of a barrister is (and he’ll hardly be doing the boring stuff certain civil servants do all day)If I recall, he walked into a training session and Bairstow and Stokes were doing the bleep test against each other with fanatical competitiveness, and he thought it was just the most pointless shit he’d ever seen.Cricketing glory is pretty brief anyway. John Crawley once hit 156 against Sri Lanka and Murali said he was the greatest batperson he’d ever bowled at. Do you remember the innings? Would you recognise Creepy in the street?
now that the dust has settled, what went wrong?
>>150552808I saw a list of the England central contracts back in the day, and the highest paid player was Strauss as the captain, on about £120k. Rank and file were on about 60-80k. Same era they mentioned how little the Pakistani players were making, and how easily bribed they might be during the spot fixing thing. Amir was on something like 19k
>>150552923You'd have to be a really boring person to find trawling through legal documents to be as interesting as the thrills of a cricket matchCricketing glory is eternal, I remember that Crawley innings like it was yesterday>>150553003Found a source from 2017 saying the average Div 2 salary was £37k, but that there's five centrally contracted players who earn £1m+ per yearSo it seems like it's improved quite a bit for the internationals, at least
>>150552862I reckon it would for anyone though. imagine how much travelling you could do with 1.4m

>noooo talk about my bouldering non-progress and shit bedsit for the millionth time instead
isn't a bedsit, rentcuck
payed your rent to the bloke who owns the land you're squatting on yet mate?
>>150553105But that's just the thing, in that career you wouldn't actually enjoy any of that wealth until you retire, because it's all tied up in your London lifestyle and property, and you barely get the time off work to travel properlySure, you'll be minted at 67, but by then you're too old to really enjoy it properly
It's improper and undignified to discuss how much one earns.
you'd probably enjoy holidays more at 67 desuappreciate it all and better place it in the context of your entire lifearen't oldies always top in happiness surveys anyway
Yeah I think after KP they saw they had to start paying the top England players more to stop them fucking off to play for franchises. The media discourse was so retarded, like he was doing something immoral for wanting to get paid for being one of the best in the world at his job.Hangover from the old gentlemen vs players distinction. Either you’re off to your uncles brokerage firm after the cricketing lark is over, or you’re back to coal face in Norfshire, so why do you need money to play for England? That and the shitty county revenues.
zachy feels left out when you bring up travel because his itinerary for his last 3 ALs has beenYork bedsit -> Sussex home -> Leeds reddit sofa gym -> York bedsit

>>150553275It's none of my business, nor anyone else's.
>>150553275>Oldies are only top in happiness surveysAnother important factor is that social media and the internet have destroyed the mental and social wellbeing of most people under 40.
>>150553305High earners usually challenge this by saying "people should be more open about their salaries so they can see find out that they're being underpaid"But mostly they just want to normalise bragging to people about their own salaryLargely, I agree with you (but my salary is a matter of public record due to the wishes of the great British taxpayer)
bard arguing that being a millionaire with a big tittied young gf is worse than toiling away in county shitcket speaks volumes
>>150553325Think it's destroyed the mental and social wellbeing of boomers too desuThey're the ones who go the most deranged at internet ragebait
boomers were always very mentally ill, 99.9% of them. maybe even the most mentally ill generation because they were raised by war ptsd (unknown / ignored) sufferers

>>150553495based fuck the Beatles true men are Johnny Cash men.
Servin' as always
Not talking about your salary is how you end up getting underpaid. If you know what the market rate is and what your colleagues are earning, you are in a much better position to negotiate when raises get discussed. Otherwise they can pull out all the old we can’t afford that, nobody else earns that much in your position, muh team tricks and you won’t have a counter.Sun Tzu knew
You can know average salaries for a position without discussing it openly.
Had a mad Beatles phase back in the day. Wore all their albums out, learnt to play the songs. Would go all day listening to nothing but the beatles. Can still appreciate them for what they are, but couldn’t listen to them now. That verse chorus verse stuff is too boring to my ears
But if you talk openly you’ll know if one of your colleagues is getting above average and can demand the same with much more authority in the negotiation.

In a bad mood because I found some great flight prices to India (£353 return) and asked my mate if I could go ahead and book them for us but he said nah I want to do it on my credit card (for the points/rewards or someshit) but was waiting for some money to come in before he did it and then he didn't book them and now all those flights have gone up by £100 each and the cheaper ones have completely gone. Now I'll have to pay the extra £100 knowing that this money (which could be spent on so many good things) is instantly wasted for no other reason than my friend's tardiness.Suspect there'll be a few more events like this still to come, with solo travel I could let my penny pinching inclinations run wild, but when travelling with somebody else I open myself up to the casual profligacy which plagues most people.

>>150560706>>150560684Knowing roughly where you want to be on different dates while retaining some flexibility is ESSENTIAL for achieving ambitious plans to visit lots of places / see lots of things in a short space of time while keeping to a budgetThis whole "go wherever the wind takes you" mindset only really works for people who are travelling for a year or longerMet plenty of wasters with that mindset who basically just bum around at the hostel all the time, and are always grateful to be able to latch onto the plans of a muscular itinerary-haver
I'll retain enough flexibility for some managed spontaneity tooE.g., Plan for Day 1 might be "Sightseeing", and Day 2 might be "Relax / Street food tour" - hardy too prescriptive on a day-by-day basis
>>150560679>Bet he gets like £10 in rewards for costing the two of us an extra £200kek so true, you better have said this to him
>>150560834Always a difficult one when talking to friends about things like this, because I already have the reputation for being a terribly stingy twat and don't want to make it too much worse But it's a bit infuriating because it's not just my own money I'm trying to save, I'm trying to help them out too, and maybe if they actually listened to me they wouldn't be constantly whinging about how they don't have any money left the week before paydayPeople are just so dumb when it comes to money

>>150560900Yeah tap water is the biggy I think - I got it into my head that the tap water in the hostel had been treated, and started glugging it liberally (it was 35C and humid, after all), but then regretted it bigly a week or two later when I started shitting uncontrollably Risk is definitely lower with veggie food, but I guess you still have potential problems with lack of general hygiene and fruit/veg being washed with tap waterAlso need to watch out for ice in drinks (usually made from tap water) and any juices/smoothies you buy (might have tap water added)

slap fighting is the dumbest shit since run it straight and before that the ice bucket challenge. It'll last until someone gets killed from it then everyone will forget about it and ignore the warnings for whatever the next gauranteed someone will die doing it fad is

Back in the 1s this weekend FUCK Does at least mean my average of 80 for the 2s is safe for the year If I get my customary duck for the 1s, my average for them will be back down to 1.00, which would be quite some gap compared to the one for the 2s
Mate replied to me about the flight price rise but didn't apologise for or even acknowledge his role in causing us to have to pay £100 extra each

>>150561733what happens if the first one to slap knocks their opponent out¿
>>150567876>If the Defender (i.e., the recipient of the slap) is knocked down and fails to return to their feet within the referee’s 10-count—or stands but is deemed medically or physically unfit to continue—the match is immediately stopped. The Striker (the person who delivered the slap) wins by knockout (KO) or technical knockout (TKO).The match ends right then—there’s no continuation, extra round, or safety net unless a specific rule (like a “Redemption Round”) is implemented—but that rule is usually not active by default.

I started practicing gratefulness and now I think that shit can pull you out of the deepest ennuis that man has ever experienced
did you say you're grateful for /cric/?
I'm a Bon Iver sort of guy
neeky band
>>150573315gratitude and tempered expectations is all you need, barring some severe misfortune in your life (re: dire blogging addiction)
>>150573364tempered expectations is a good one tooif you know what someone is like and then you expect something else from them, youre the only one to blame when they dont do what you expectede.g. getting angry at the mate who takes forever to pay his ticks
just realised thats pretty much just the frog and the scorpion fable
>>150573315I regret to inform you that gratefulness would not be a cause for my ennui, but - in actual fact - only serve to further deepen and intensify said ennui
at some point one must ask: "does anon WANT to be in an ennui"the answer may shock you
the narcissistic neek didn't disclose his ennui even though he said he could because he realised he'd be mocked for something so trivial and wouldn't be able to bring it up anymore, which is what a narcissistic neek must do

somehow managed to blunder my way through another day without a detailed itinerary prepared by a civil servant with questionable technique versus the fast ball
I reckon its pretty sick that China invited Dan Andrews and he was getting photos alongside Kim Jung Un, Xi Jingping and PutinI would have accepted too
>>150573695I'm much better against pace bowling desu"Questionable technique against off spin" would have been a far fairer statement

>>150573772mark mcgowan was much much worse in terms of genuine authoritariansim, he just wasn't locking people in their homes so no one in WA really cared
Technique against pace is pretty easy desuTake a few muscular steps down the track as the bowler runs in to assert your authority and throw him off his length Drive anything that's driveable, forcefully enough that any edges fly over slipForceful front-foot cut or guided dab through third to anything short of a length on offPull/flick any leg side shit to the ropesBlock the good ballsSimple as
ol billy 'let me run to square leg against the left armers' bard now giving tips on playing pace lol
not your tune a week ago
>>150573784not sure this survives a game in the 1sts
don't think I'd become this cocky after making a statpadded half century (a chancey one at that, and in a losing cause) against a bunch of 16yo school children but each to their own I guess
reckon I'd have bard's number with my tidy leg breaks decade away from the game but class is permanent
ok but bard's still the only poster on /cric/ who plays cricket, therefore the only non-fraud here. prove me wrong
>>150573797Fortunately haven't come up against any left-arm pace in actual games, only in netsDoesn't bounce as much on an actual track as it does in that net though My height combined with a few strides down the track would negate any bounce >>150573807Guess we'll find out on Saturday *No we won't because I'm down to bat at 6 and will inevitably come in against some slow loopy shit that I can't play, and get out for a duck again, if I'm even required to bat at all
>>150573807Did used to bat that way in the 1s when I was 17, when they played a few divisions higher than I do now Only had a handful of matches and never got more than 30 odd for them, but best moment was coming down the track to an Aussie overseas opening bowler and pasting him through covers for 4
>>150573826I've barely faced leggies desu, because I reckon for every 1 leggie you have 4 or 5 offiesBut I suspect you're right and I'd be equally shit against itJust bowl it slow and straight (don't even worry about turning it) and you'll inevitably get me
>>150573815My average for the 2s is 80 m8, it's not just that one innings(It's one other innings too)
Remember the bowler cannot get you out without your consent. If he tries, simply refuse to be out and request him to go back to his mark and bowl another ball. I once scored a triple century against my son’s bowling using this method, in 500 balls
>>150573863Tbh this was the only reason I was playing at the grade I was. I wasn't a good bowler but I used to get a bit of turn and bowled leggies which isn't something anyone in Australia was used to. I was chronically incapable of hitting the stumps but people would just give up their wickets coming out of their crease or trying to play shots
My last game of the season on Saturday btw The blogposts will be well and truly DONE
used to be lots of legspin in my day desu. would face loads on the village sceneI was in the era of Warne and the 05 ashes thougheverdoubt there's many now
it was also that every team """needed""" a spinner and no one else wanted to bowl spin lmao
>>150573878The WG Grace / every club cricket side made up of Pakistanis method>>150573888Probably something that gets found out very quickly at the higher levels, but at the steps below that loose spin bowling can be very effective desuThe old "shit gets wickets" adage - batsmen will inevitably come after you and find a way to get themselves outDoesn't really work that way with loose pace though, that's typically the type of bowling it's easiest to score against
>>150573930I was at a high enough level for teenager, I played against a lot of guys who ended up in shield and getting the odd game for Australia. definitely as far as I was going to go though
>>150573972You can't have been that shit thenIf it's just a case of chucking some shit down relatively straight and hoping for the best, any competent batsman would send that to the ropes pretty comfortably and without too much riskSo you must have been doing something with it
there isn't a big gap between 1 and 2 at village level. it's not like county vs international or something where splitting averages is justifies - that's just a cope
>>150574096You keep saying "village level" as if it's an insult, but that just betrays that you've never actually played the game Take a look at any of the regional Premier leagues (one step below pro game, most teams have at least a few current / former pros) and you'll see that half of the sides in the league are villages For example, Pears captain Brett D'Oliveira also plays for the village of Ombersley (population 2,360, currently 5th best club side in the entire West Midlands)
But, in my particular case, I'll admit that the bowling isn't much different in the matches I've played for 1s and 2s (in fact, the 2s game with the 75mph + opening bowlers actually had better bowlers than any 1s game I've been in), I've just suffered from acute mental weakness whenever I've been asked to play with the top dogs

Sometimes wish we weren’t always waiting for another /cric/ poster to make some small error of nomenclature so we can post a scathing zinger at their expense. But then one of you neeks posts something silly and I can’t help myself, and I’ve got a particularly scathing zinger all lined up and ready to post. You’ll know when you get zinged by it, that’s all I’m saying for now, oh boy.
zachy's forgotten more about test cricket than the rest of /cric/ posters will ever know
Six string hack plays cricket as he's an incel so spending the weekend with 11 blokes in a dingy dressing room is desirable to him
No doubt he'll start on the shitjeet spam in a second to distract from being shown to no nothing about cricket again. Idiots just use "village" to describe all league cricket no matter the level.
Have to tell you my zinger is so much better than a bit of weak homophobia. I’ll wait for a proper opportunity to deploy it. It’s proper wit
>>150573777being to good looking and cool?
Being a narcissist would be understandable if he actually was "good looking and cool" but instead he's an alcoholic, balding, toothpicked-armed brown sperg weirdo, who doesn't know anything about cricket.

there's cricket on btw
>>150574681Isn't most of the t20 league in the US paid for by jeets?Oh well at least now the US revolution afl team will have more home grounds
Nobody goes at six an over as well as Jofra Archer. So silky smooth. And a wonderful bowling action. One of England's very best, so lucky to have him bowling again, what every cricket lover wants to see, Jofra, yes baby! Jofra!
>there's cricket on btwThis has been debunked
Lads did you know Archer can occasionally bowl at high speeds? Will be a valuable addition to the squad down under
He bowled quite fast six years ago in a match England drew
kek that's the Mark Wood argument toomeanwhile he averages like 40idk why the selectors are so blinded by le fast men - not like they're even as quick as someone like Brett Lee either, they're more low 90s
Is 16 in 1 over a good sign for the saviour of English bowling?
Wood has a better bowling average than Lee. But in them days, the Aussies had McGrath, Gillespie and Warne, so could afford to have Lee as a wild card spraying it at 95 mph
GONE GOTTEMBA MUV YA BUMVUMA BACK TO THE BAVILLION
Justice for Sam CookJustice for Jake Libby
Jake Libby never been anywhere near contentionnever been mentioned outside /cric/ by a certain mate of his even
Mate of mine had Jake Libby and his missus in some local new parents baby classes group Used to go for walks around the park with him and with the women and kids and dogs and that Bit jealous
walking to bouldering
>>150576087I believe the argument is that it's easier to teach control to someone that bowls at over 140 naturally over teaching someone to bowl 140+You lots have a whole biometric centre and everything dedicated to unearthing quicks with good actions, all because some nerd at ECB crunched the numbers to discover balls that are over 140 have the best strike rate or some shit like that.
>>150576300not cricket and not a sport
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aDYIvKLBT8insane how good this is
>>150576087wood is the least threatening fast bowler ever. the bitchwides at least landed the ball on the pitch now and then wood gets no bounce just skids it forward on a shit line and full length not really scary at all is it
>>150576347It's probably just an attempt to win in Australia like how you lads put huge amounts of money into developing fast bowlers.the bizarre thing is that england fails even though they're literally the same genetically as >us and a lot of the saffers, and indians are (no offence) not the most athletic ethnicity going
the indian comparison being made because india actually succeed with its fast bowling programme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W9IcDCZggYabsolute heater. tune and a half
>cricket starts >spacky disappearsMany such cases!
lets go SA
>>150576416>no bounceThis is the whole problem with fasts in English conditions and why the whole “stack the team with fasts” in the England series was one of the most retarded tactics of all time. Wood averages like 26 in Australia and 32 in England in tests.
They always go on about the bowlers but when England last won in Oz the key bowlers were Anderson, Finn, Tremlett and Bresnan. Not sure any of them got above 85 in their whole careers.The time before that was old man Botham, Gladstone Small, and Dilley who was quick. Current England might want to look into the whole ‘score 500+ every innings’ strategy

>>150576500do you reckon?australia's quicks generally do well with the ball over there and the lords slope makes the short ball harder to play as jofra archer showed in le one good spell
