March 9, 20223 yr There is little point for India playing bilaterals anymore except on the road in SENA countries. Just too strong. it is only matter of time before ipl champion is called world champ a la NBA or NHL.
March 10, 20223 yr Author There need to be a yearly competition between the bayous T20 champion clubs.

March 11, 20223 yr My prediction: IPL will expand to 20+ teams, 6 month season in the next 2 decades. Most IPL players will only play in the IPL given the longer season.

Most IPL players will only play in the IPL given the longer season. Your prediction essentially signals the death knell for longer forms of cricket - and Test cricket would be the first to go. I guess the IPL is up next two weekends from now. I'll just have to root for competitive matches since I don't have a natural allegiance to any IPL team.
March 16, 20223 yr AUS choked away a win against PAK with some shitastic fielding and mind blowingly dumb captaincy moves by Cummins. They bowled out PAK in their first innings for 148 in just over 50 overs then took a 506 run lead into the final innings with basically two full days to bowl them out. Only took 7 wickets in the last two days. Fucking losers.
March 23, 20223 yr Lol... poooooooooor Pakis. They went from 214/3 to 268 all out over the course of 30 overs. Even worse, the 4th wicket fell at 248 so the last six wickets gained them a grand total of 20 runs over 10 overs.
May 9, 20223 yr I’ve watched exactly zero overs of this fake, rigged ass shit. Biding my time for some international matches to start up again. They still play those, right?

IPL is the future of cricket.

They dont like a championship team at all (or never did), but they did chase down all improbable scores. However, they have difficulty chasing modest totals - couldnt be bothered against Mumbai.

May 15, 20223 yr Good lord, what a horrible year for Cricket Australia. Andrew Symonds is gone. So within just a couple of months they lost The King, Rod Marsh and now Symonds. Marsh was done with cricket before I started following it, but Warne and Symonds were front and center of the greatest team since the 1980's West Indies. Can someone please put Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh in bubble wrap / quarantine?
May 29, 20223 yr If I remember in time and don't have anyting else going on I might find a pirate website to watch the final. Don't care who wins but I'll probably pull a little bit more for Gujarat since they have Ashwin and another former DC player in Hetmyer. DC need to shitcan Pant as captain and maybe they can live up to their potential. His batting stats have also been ass since he took over the captaincy last year.

His batting stats have also been ass since he took over the captaincy last year.Ashwin and Hetmeyer are on Rajasthan.Likely the most attended cricket match in Indian history. Rajasthan Royals won the toss and chose to bat, setting up possible Miller Time/Tewatia fireworks in the chase.Let's go Titans.
May 29, 20223 yr Why on earth would you choose to bat first in a T20 match? Other than match fixing I'm coming up with nothing.
May 29, 20223 yr Author Why on earth would you choose to bat first in a T20 match? Other than match fixing I'm coming up with nothing.Dew or slowing wicket for Ashwin/Chahal I guess. Jos out is huge Titans on top right now.
May 29, 20223 yr Dew usually comes in later in the match and aids the team batting. Another reason to bowl first, but the point about the spinners may have some merit. I just think any perceived advantages of batting first are far outweighed by the known advantages of batting in the second innings.

I just think any perceived advantages of batting first are far outweighed by the known advantages of batting in the second innings.Yeah I was thinking about dew slowing the outfield. I suppose another reason could have been the old adage of getting runs on the board in a final. Professional chase from the Titans. Can afford to take it easy in the face of dot balls when you're chasing 131. The best team won the trophy.
July 1, 20223 yr Anyone want to explain to me why Pujara is still on the test side? Is it due to injuries or is the Rasputin of Indian test cricket still entrenched? It will be interesting to see how Bumrah handles the captaincy. Hopefully he has the success Cummings did against the Poms.
July 1, 20223 yr AUS bitch slapped the poor little Sri Lankans by 10 wickets. AUS only needed 10 runs in their second innings. Last year the Galle pitch gave up runs o'plenty. This test, not so much as spinners bamboozled batsmen throughout. Travis fucking Head took 4 wickets for AUS in the SL second innings. Lyon took nine for the match.
July 2, 20223 yr Pant and Rockstar bailed out another shitty performance from the top order to get to a respectable 338/7. They were 64/3 when Pant came in and went full on IPL 146 off 111.
July 2, 20223 yr Author Pant is just wired differently, and that's a good thing. There will be lows, but the highs will be more than worth it.
July 2, 20223 yr India has to be happy on Stumps after Day 2 as they managed to get to 416 with Jadeja and the tail order. Jadeja gets his ton and Bumrah proceeds to do his best impression of Yuvraj Singh versus Stuart Broad. Seriously no one saw that coming from Bumrah and that too in a Test match! He had the highest strike rate of all. England also gifted 40 extra runs including 14 no balls! India is halfway done with the English first innings and managed to get Joe Root out. Again it's Bumrah with the 1st 3 wickets. Hard to predict how Day 3 will go because of continuing rain in Edgbaston, but India remain in great position. England have to win this Test match just to draw the series - sucks to be them!
July 3, 20223 yr Bumrah set the all time record in test match history for runs in a single over off asshole Broad. Bumrah tonked him for 35 runs 😀😀😀 I wonder if the Poms were a bit overconfident after the way they thrashed the Kiwis? Well so far it looks like daddy has taken off his belt and is giving junior a straight hiding. Edited July 3, 20223 yr by Fudge Nuggets
August 28, 20223 yr Asia Cup going on. India vs Pakistan starting up in about 15 mins. Fucking Kohli still hanging around and they brought Karthik out of the old folks home to keep wicket. No Bumrah either with back injury. Thankfully no Shaheen Shah Afridi for Pakistan either. https://live.cricstream.me/india-vs-pakistan-live/stream-1
August 28, 20223 yr Author Sucks to see Bumrah out, but India is deeper, so maybe I'm fine with the trade of Shaheen also being out.
September 4, 20223 yr On 8/29/2022 at 10:18 AM, APMP said: India and Pakistan should play more. Need to play a test series for sure.
September 7, 20223 yr India lose to Sri Lanka pretty much knocking them out of the Asia Cup. Fuck 'em, bunch of overpaid jackasses with no heart. I'm fully on the Sri Lanka bandwagon now.
September 9, 20223 yr On 9/6/2022 at 9:18 PM, Fudge Nuggets said: I'm fully on the Sri Lanka bandwagon now. Looking solid against Pakistan
September 12, 20223 yr That was a fun match. Sri Lanka in the mud early batting and bowling. Really pulled it out nicely.
October 23, 20223 yr King Kohli is back. Need to rest Ashwin from T20I forever. He is a terrible fielder and not athletic enough for T20I. I having a growing disappointment for KL Rahul. He rarely does well in pressure situations. Not sure why he is VC and thus an automatic selection over Hardik. Edited October 23, 20223 yr by remoh
October 23, 20223 yr So yeah, that last over... was pretty mental. Need 16, lose two wickets, get a single off one ball and two off another. AND STILL WIN!!!! SUCK IT PAKISTAN!!! espncricinfo commentary: https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-men-s-t20-world-cup-2022-23-1298134/india-vs-pakistan-16th-match-group-2-1298150/ball-by-ball-commentary Great summary from TGC: The Queen is dead. The King is BACK!!!
October 23, 20223 yr Shitty quality video of the last over but better than nothing until the pros get their shit posted. That leave by Ashwin on the first ball he faced was Mr. Cool personified. Bhogle's "What have you done Mr. Nawaz" was the funniest thing since Shannon Gabriel's ill-fated hoik led to "Whyyyyyyyyyy did he do that?" Edited October 23, 20223 yr by Fudge Nuggets
November 7, 20223 yr Does any team choke worse than South Africa in cricket world cups. They’re worse than aggy. Unbelievable how they failed to qualify for the semis. But then again, maybe them qualifying would be the unbelievable thing now. what are the odds for india-pak final? Would be epic. Both teams will be under so much pressure. Probably can win with a score of 130. i guess I wouldn’t mind an eng-nz final either (if it is anything like the odi wc 19 final - best finals ever).
December 4, 20223 yr Time to bring Shastri's drunk ass back as team coach and time to tell Rohit to pack his shit and retire already. It's is deploring how awful this team has become under their stewardship.
December 17, 20223 yr Well I barely follow the IPL any more and sure as shit never followed the Big Bash League in Australia, but how the living fuck is this possible? https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/big-bash-league-2022-23-1324623/sydney-thunder-vs-adelaide-strikers-5th-match-1324628/full-scorecard Sydney Thunder were bowled all out in 5.5 overs for 15 runs, three of those coming from extras. Five ducks in the innings. I have to guess the majority of Sydney’s team are on the AUS test team playing against South Africa? Feel sorry for any dumbass that bought a ticket for that shit.
