Still waiting for test cricket. In the meantime: t20 blast street shitter franchise legaue and Essex vs Ireland tour match
YFO (Yank Flags Out)
i love watchin these lads hit a proper home run over the line very good game you got here
TNO (Test Nations Only)
The future of a*glo shitter cricket is watching contracted a*glo shitters play tear round in the IPL. Embrace it.
>>132075095I hope this arrogant faggot gets shown his place. Fuck him for ruining the gentleman's game
Reminder: if the ECB had any integrity any player that hits a 6 in the Ireland Test would be dropped for the Ashes.However the cowards will not do this and will continue slowly killing cricket
The more I muse upon it, the more I can't understand Josh Tongue's call-up11 wickets at an average of 41 in Div 2 is not quite Test form, even if he did get the scalps of Smith and PujaraCan understand why they wouldn't call up the likes of Rushworth and Sanderson now (although they should have in the past), but surely Sam Cooke (21 Div 1 wickets at an average of 18) is more deserving of a call-upVery rum decision, even if it is great to see a Pear getting international honours
>>132075207Bit disrespectful to to the King mate
I'd call up Tom Bailey, but I'm biased
drinking a beer from w*llington atm
>>132075207>t. Seething GautamI kid, he and Brohit need to step aside from the T20 side, still ok for tests and ODIs
>>132075420Yeah another one who should have been in the mix years ago, but is probably too old for them to consider nowI think the selectors prioritise pace over everything else, and typically don't select any quick who doesn't bowl at least 85I guess time will tell if that's a good decision or not, I'm a Moneyball man and would select almost entirely on averages myself
When is India going to select a white player. Absolutely insane that they haven't picked one yet there must be a few good white Indian crickets floating about. Every other team is gracious enough to include Indians. We've got sodhi and Patel and ravindra and all the other non racist nations have some Indians in the past. Just calling out the blatant racism
>>132075579Sanju Samson is wh*te
>>132075501This is the thinking, Anderson doesn't bowl at any massive pace anymore but gets picked because of who he is and he usually still gets good economy. So why not pick his Lancashire teammate who had a fantastic year last season
>>132075786It'd be really interesting to see how elite county trundlers (the likes of Rushworth and Roland-Jones, maybe also Bailey) get on in home Tests at international level desuI guess the thinking is that they wouldn't be good enough to trouble international batsmen due to insufficient pace, particularly in overseas conditions without the nice green wickets and cloud cover
>>132075841Overseas conditions is an issue for certain, but here you have test batsman like Smith and Labuschagne getting out cheap to division 2 bowlers, surely some must be worth a call up. Broad and Anderson are at their end and Woakes et al won't last forever
People who should be (figuratively) executed during the revolution:HR hintsAnybody who unironically uses LinkedInRob Key
waiting
>>132075501>I think the selectors prioritise pace over everything elseyou must be joking, yes they often like a good pace gimmick but they definitely don't prioritise pace as a rule>>132075786>but gets picked because of who he is and he usually still gets good economykek he gets picked because he's basically still our best bowler stats-wise along with Robbopretty sure this must be a samefag
Well you'd be wrong
>>132075951FFS once more that should be bints not hints
>surname is Tongue>several English surnames are derived from occupations>gets into the test team with a 40+ avg in div 2really making me think rn ngl
>>132076043It's not their only criteria, but they pretty much never pick a seam bowler who doesn't hit 85+. Only recent exceptions I can think of are Coverton (after years of dominating the county circuit) and Curran (who's in as an all rounder and probably also sucking off the selectors) Did I miss anyone?
Phone posting isn't healthy, I know this as I am doing it myself

uh oh foxcucks
The only thing I really love about the blast is the YouTube comments being full of Indians demanding wickets or certain amounts of runs so they win their bets. Then calling it rigged when they don't get it
>>132077066Women in Lancashire look like THIS?!
Lancs can count themselves lucky Naveen ul-Haq isn't available yetIf he were, 52 runs would already be too big an ask

Why are they playing this game at midday, by the way? What's the sense in opening up a T20 campaign with a match where any toilsman or schoolsman has to miss out? Doesn't make any sense
>>132077321Man United and Chelsea play this evening, don't want the traffic in Manchester
Utter state of places that aren't Lancashire
>>132077425Realistically, what traffic will you get for a cricketing match? Few hundred people at most would actually travel from outside of Manchester to watch it
Matt Parkinson bowling to Callum ParkinsonHas there EVER been another case in English cricket when one brother bowls to another?Yes, probably
>>132077457Could just also be Manchester not wanting both happening at once. >>132077475But had it happened in the blast?Also probably
Small reminder that a Hindu /businessmind/ Rishi Sunak saved a*glo shitters from recession. But worry not he'll be voted out for queer stammer, who'll be overthrown by the terrorist "part n parcel" paki mayor.
>>132077533Don't know how late the football match was rearranged, but you'd have thought they could work around thisBit of a damp squib of an opening fixture if you're having to play it at lunch on a Thursday
Sunak admitted to enjoying Jilly Cooper novels, he should get voted out for that alone

Really so many seething pajeets in the comments, imagine betting on the Foxes doing anything
>World Cup-winning batter Jason Roy looks set to to cancel his England contract to take up a deal with Major League Cricket in the United States
For me, Lancashire's kit is too dark. Should be a lighter shade of Red
Does Cat Stevens still have his foreskin or did he chop it off?
>slogs it high up >gets caught Even fucking u11s know this
>>132077640He hinted in the radio interview last evening that he was really pissed off with how ECB treated him and was thankful to the IPL and the Saffa IPL in particular for rehabilitating him. Plus his surname is Roy so it's apt he plays for Kolkata.
>>132077674Daft cricket desu, as soon as they were 7 down they should have just traded in 1s and 2s until the final over (maybe final two overs if they avoided losing any further wickets)
>>132077598wheres my 500 rupee bet gone? Now i'm going to go off and shit up the stream chat like shitjeets cousins.
>>132077598Apparently not, farcical making Lancs chase this just give them the win
>sidekock still hurt by the broken family jibeTell us what happened wiv yer dad, i'm here to listen.
When are Lancashire supposed to get this new outground in Leyland to play one day matches at?
>>132077756They were talking about that on one of the streams I don't think they will be there for a while

Children's rather than YA actually
haven't thought about Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) once (except now) since seeing it on the weekend. no idea why it was hyped so much. very forgettable.
Maybe I should drop the postdoc gimmick and devote my life to writing YA cricketing kino, there's a gap in the marketCould do it in civil service hours too, nice bit of moonlightingA gritty coming-of-age drama set in a cricketing club
>>132086590Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) was a good filmObviously not even close to Synecdoche, New York (2008) but a nice bit of filmmaking nonethelessI dropped this truthnuke on /cric/ about 6 months ago but you were having none of it, even though you hadn't seen it

>>132087368yeah a male 14-15 probably just reads adult booksjust mean the official designation is still 13-16 despite being called young "adult" and the reality is the audience is even lower (or women)
will be quite interesting to see ireland losing to essex
>>132087429Isn't it just the same as teen fiction? Not sure why they dropped the one for the other. I guess maybe because people in their 20s and 30s still wanted to read books like that (due to general dumbing down of society) and they wanted to make it less embarrassing for them to buy those books

Mad what's happened to modern manLads WhatsApp going off at the moment with one fella trying to arrange drinks tomorrow, but two other fellas replied to say that they're already doing things in the morning and not sure if they'll be able to get permission from the missus to go out in the evening tooWhen did this become the norm?
all I'm saying is none of the presumptive Ashes squad have ever bowled *me* outso how can we trust them?
like how bard pretends to have fully accepted volceldom and puts up a front on /cric/ about saving money by living in near total isolation but - in the background - is scurrying around desperately trying to organise socials
time was you'd just grab your cap and leave the house, pop down the pub for a couple of hours, wouldn't even need a group of lads, just speak to whoever is therethe west has fallen and Zachy is 100% to blame
>>132100308Bard the "Clinically Frugal but I insist on buying Lurpak because supermarket butter is too povvo for me"
>>132100281I've never used whatsapp muchsometimes people ask me to add thembut I never look at it. I think I got it for a uni project like 10 years ago and barely glance at it since.
only use whatsapp because that's what my mother's side of the family use to talk to each other. there is a work group I'm in as well, but I never post in it
>>132100308I'm not trying to organise this one - went through a phase of doing that but got rejected every time and it was a bit disheartening, so I've just given up now>>132100322Agreed>>132100338Would never buy Lurpak desu. Maybe the Lidl equivalent but that's pretty expensive too. Mostly go for their utterly butterly rip-off which I think is just 99p per tub at the mo (risen quite a lot in the last year, used to be cheaper)
Bard "I have a psychological condition where I am unable to spend money needlessly but insist that I can only live in Oxfordshire"
>>132100322MedsGoes for @bard too>>132100411Lurpak isn't that overpricedYou can use it for cooking also
Bard "the very thought of having to talk to a deano estate agent on the phone makes me soaked in sweat"
>>132100648you know what you did
pretty sure zachy admitted to being a 'bizzaro tarq' at one point and am certain bard must have too. the latter has kept up this 'echelons of the lower middle class' (or whatever it is) gimmick up for a while though, so might need to go back to the 16-17 archives to confirm
Everyone goes in thinking they can handle a deano estate agent and then all of a sudden they find themselves the proud owner of an overpriced terrace shoebox
Bard you coming Bristol mate?I'll just say your my business partner

>>132100625Well where the frig else should I live then? >>132100648It's what, £3-4 per tub? Way too costly for a humble man of modest salary like me. Use olive oil for cooking, and my fake utterly butterly for a spread. >>132100665This also applies to mechanics btw, my car's been broken for about 6 months but I haven't got it fixed because I refuse to phone them up - ask them to do a quote by e-mail instead, but the bastards don't reply (probably because those worthless working-class grease monkeys can't read) >>132100699I have never admitted to being a tarq because I amn't one (and therefore it'd be a bizarre thing to admit to)
>>132100707So true>>132100836Nah, Bristol is full of insufferable left-wing twatsAs a chud it is not my scene AT ALL>>132100875wtf this is literally where I live

>>132100281when you turn 28. it gets worse once they start having kids from what I hear. basically if you're not in a committed long term relationship by that point then your social life is over by no fault of your own

at 2:53, phwoar
>>132100965At 30 it's effectively OVER for my social life and has been since the age of about 26 (but that's tied in with the pandemic - maybe it would have lasted longer if not for that, but maybe not)Basically just got stag dos and birthdays in the social calendar now, can never even go out for drinks outside of those sorts of eventsI guess if I moved back to a place like L*ndon then I would find other lonely sad sack overgrown manchildren in my situation but that's a bit of a grim prospect
Feel like the reason several of my mates' girlfriends try to set me up with their single friends is that they recognise the undeniable truthnuke that it's only socially acceptable for their partner to continue hanging out with me if I'm in a relationshipCouples only hang out with couples I don't like it, but that's just society for you in the year twenty twenty three
>>132101187another overlap (I'm a youthful 28 but)don't even reckon going to donedon would do it though. here all my mates all work on literally the same street as me (any business wanted to be taken seriously needs an office there), at most 500m away, but you can't talk anyone into sticking around for a beer at a pub on a friday because they have to cook dinner with their mrs or some shit. such is life.
>>132101187the pandemic has definitely affected things, back in 2019 my friends and I would meet up regularly for drinks or just to play board games. once lockdown started we moved all that online and we basically haven't gone back to meeting up. think we have met up 3-4 times since the restrictions were lifted
>>132101264Well that's the thing, you have to find other single people and just accept that it'll be very difficult to carry on seeing them once they get into long-term relationshipsSurely single people in their late 20s / early 30s are plentiful in L*ndon, but unfortunately all of my existing friends are in long-term relationships Might have to start surreptitiously spreading rumours about infidelity etc to break some of them up and recover my social life a bit
>>132101339I think it had an effect - basically acted as a clear demarcation between youth and proper adulthood for my friends, encouraged them to all move in with each other and make their relationships more seriousHaving said that, I was whinging about this for at least a year before the pandemic, complaining that none of my friends in relationships would come out for a few beers on a Friday or Saturday evening even though we were 26-27yo and all living in L*ndonI peaked at 24 and it's been a steep decline since then
>>132101339we had like maybe three months of a semi lockdown here and even that was enough to torpedo my post-university social life. can't imagine how catastrophic it would have been for you lads. >>132101345idk I feel like anyone who is still single is either a complete freak (except me haha) or will move to sydney at the drop of a hat

Me? I'm a humble norfman in my humble norfman house. wouldn't think of looking for properties in the 300k range, simply unobtainable for anyone who actually works for a living.
I copped a feel of your mums tits at the dinner table How is that not correct English?
because copped isn't a word

Mad how so many boomers live in houses worth £500-800k, despite the fact that they:1. Have never personally earned more than £40k (which should cap their mortgage at £180k) 2. Have a missus who either doesn't work or does some part-time bollocks (adding at most £80k to their mortgage allowance) 3. Have had long periods out of work, spend money wastefully, and retired earlyAnd yet they still have the cheek to pretend they worked hard for what they've got. Modern society is basically just a massive ponzi scheme for this current generation of boomers
>>132103234>(wouldn't have got in as undergad though, she was probably right)you get 5 applications (more if you pay a fee), seems irrational not to use one on Oxbridge with those grades

>>132103662Nah I don’t agree with that You’re mistaken
>>132103777Yeah probably should have in retrospect, I applied for 5 unis which were more or less equally prestigious, which was a bit daftLet that stupid bint discourage me from applying though, can only think they like to put out stats like x% of our Oxbridge applicants were successful, so only encourage the ones who are more likely to be accepted>>132103818Yeah it's only very recently I've noticed a possible swing desu, and this is after literally years of above-inflation increases (one of the reasons my savings mental illness started desu) >>132103830York was my back up but I opted for Exetah instead
300k is about my budget too desu but I'd be leveraged to the hilt with >50% of take home going to mortgage. Postgraduate loan, student loan, 10% pension contribs and suddenly your take home pay isn't so great after tax. A deano couple each on half my salary would have significantly more net income

>>132104697True in Oxford, can get a slightly confirr cottage-shaped closet ~5 miles away>>132104766Is that still true of the alpha scheme? Think my USS scheme while I was doing my PhD was pretty good desu, they tripled my contributions or something like that
>>132104991Comfier*
Mumbai bowling been good so far
>>132104804to let you know i understand and appreciate your reply.
>>132104991Alpha is the best one.Any defined benefit scheme will shit on a contributions scheme in general (mainly because they don't exist in private sector anymore, they basically NEED to be underwritten by a government).Your contributions mean dick in a defined benefit scheme (like the alpha is). If they claim matching contribs like the NHS pension oddly does sometimes (also defined benefit) then they're just saying that for accounting purposes.Your contributions are basically a membership and disappear into the ether. With alpha you basically just generate 2.32% of your yearly gross income as pension income every year. So after 10 years you'll have 23.2% of your average income over that time available as pension income. It's also linked to inflation and all sorts so it does go up additionally.Anyway you basically get a fat income at retirement if you pay into a DB scheme your entire life. Not the same for a defined contributions scheme where the pension funds will fuck you just in case you live to be 110 (so your pot doesn't run out).
And the reason why alpha is good is because you only need to pay like 5.6% of gross into it for 2.32% accrual every year. NHS scheme is like 9-10% for 1.85%.And it's guaranteed until you die and obviously the government is more reliable than a private pension fund.
>>132104281this is just a sad copeyou probably think you're baiting this sort of response but you also probably reckon there's truth in what you posted. get it together lad
Shubman Gill. Remember the name.
>>132105361>>132105476Hmm sounds ok, still not as good as the pension civil service boomers got thoughWhat happens in a scheme like that if you leave the civil service after ~3 years due to a cruel and unusual decision re homeworking though?
Noticed an attractive woman walk past my window at the same time for the last 3 daysThis is notable because the average age on my street is about 98Wonder if she'll marry me

>>132105939Need the old guard Cuckli and Nohit being put out to pasture and get these nu-zoomers in
>>132105777Boomers got final salary defined benefit schemes, they worked the same way (probably less accrual if anything) but instead of it being % of your average income it was based on % of final salary instead, which would presumably be considerably larger.Well your entitlement just remains. You can claim it at retirement age so you'd get like 7% of your average salary at that time as guaranteed retirement income for the rest of your life. The NHS has a +1.5% per year modifier for every year you work in the NHS though which encourages you to keep working there... no idea about alpha. It is by far the best scheme though. You won't be getting full time office job pension income on a contributions-based pension unless you have super income. In general most people don't put enough into their pension and so have to rely on the state pension on top (which you're supposed to get even with your public sector pension), and pension credits.

Thought that going there for a weekend every month or two would be enough, but it has key problemsYou're either paying for a hotel (looking at £120-150 bare minimum each time you want to go in, plus whatever the train fare costs), or reliant on staying on a mate's sofaThe latter makes it difficult to shag loose upper-middle class bints acquired from the grotty nightclubs of Clapham, because you need to stick with your mate and leave when they leave etc
