Great innings from the world’s best batsmen. Glad I stayed up to watch it.
Any Class A level minor league baseball team with 6 weeks training could beat any/best cricket team
Baseball is complete and utter shite
cricket bowlers can't even make it to the plate, they have to bounce it on the ground
you sound like someone who can't catch, can't hit, can't throw, can't runcricket is also rubbish. baseball is a million times worse, shite sport.

Oh, they can, they're just allowed, since people have died from such deliveries.cricket bowlers can't even make it to the plate, they have to bounce it on the ground
Should have been out for 150-ish, can't believe the let Siddle almost get a 50.Disappointed after such a good start, but let's see what tomorrow brings.

Bouncers (balls pitched short and bouncing to over hip height) are allowed, in moderation, but have taken quite a few victims, and yes, deaths as well. Philip Hughes comes to mind as the most recent one.
And I doubt any baseball player would be able to hit - consistently - against a good spinner, a Murali or Shane Warne.

Yeah, the second one's in there, the one where he needs to take a few steps back to stop him going on his backside. He copped a nasty one that time. Gotta say, it's one of the reasons I loved watching Brett Lee, he could be absolutely vicious, i.e., when he got to bowl to Piers Morgan. <Lmaoo>I'm assuming the Michael Papps one is there. I was there for that match. When he got dinged a second time we (in the crowd) were like "toughen up". The guy behind us (with the binoculars) shook his head and said "nah, he's done. There's a lump the size of a egg already"

I've been to a quite a few matches here in The Netherlands when I still lived in The Hague, never saw anything even close to that, couple of knocks on the helmet, never any damage. Thankfully.I was there live for Papps' one. Heard a crack from 100m odd away. Never the same after that (very few are)
That Piers Morgan one was stupid tbh. He didn't have to. He should've either bounced one so far over his head it wouldn't have hit him or sent a quick one under the bat. The continued short balls just made him look like a bully.
They all get soft in their old age. Dale Steyn before the arms went out was a even scarier. The one on Craig Cumming where he broke his jaw... ugh.
Joe Root is a fucking cunt and you bet he’ll make some big scores, it’s a matter of who stays with him and whether Warner and Smith can match him.
If Joe Root is a cunt then what does that make Smith and (especially) Warner?
