No, correct not just cricket, it’s glorious losing Scotland at cricket.
Only we could get rained off , then lose on a formula

TBH that's happened to loads of teams.

I think what's most galling is that it was rained off in fucking Africa of all places!

I think someone was doing one of these.

As old as the game itself - lip balm was the rage when I were a lad prior to that it was alleged that Firy Fred Truman used Brylcream to shine one side of the ball.

Careless by the  Aussies - getting caught that is.

Most likely payback for the Du Plessis ball tampering charge during SA's  last tour of Australia.

The level of humbug from commentators & politicians is startling though special kudos must go to Mike "gravellyhands" Atherton! :lol:

Latest spin (sic) is that is was mainly down to David "Bad Boy" Warner. Lehmann has already been absolved, Smith's role is being downplayed but Bancroft is likely to "walk the plank" too.

One question which seems to be getting ignored is how could the bowlers not have known?  Are we expected to believe Bancroft chose which side of the ball to work on by himself and that the bowlers were told or noticed nothing?

Apparently Australian coach Darren Lehmann will resign when the current series with SA ends!

Ireland only 35 runs behind with 5 wickets left.

You would expect Pakistan to win comfortably but most of the runs in this Test have been scored in the afternoon and evening sessions, if Ireland could get ahead and leave Pakistan to bat on the fifth morning, unlikely but who knows?

Bet you Jack has talks with the Pakistani Test Board if a vacancy comes up:whistle

Terrific Test match - betting was suspended yesterday when Ireland were 9/4 (the score not the odds!).

Comin up to the Close of Play on Day 4 with Ireland 134 ahead - maybe they've batted too well as they will be able to continue their Innings in the morning. Would be "Captain Oates" brave to declare overnight.

Still, another fascinating days play to come!

Pakistan win by 5 wickets - not quite enough runs on the board for Ireland once the early morning zip had worn off!

After a very dodgy start to the 2nd innings ended up fairly comfortable for Pakistan.

I always feel old whenever Bluey's son plays. :spud5

 

That's one day cricket since the introduction of the T20 format, teams just go for it from ball 1 - big wins, big defeats! 

 

The Best Little Whorehouse in Embra & we're getting fucked! :(

A wicket! :happyclapper
