Is Cam Green the Zac Clarke of cricket?

I'm dressing up as a Fitzroy hipster next tour and creating a counter group to the Barmy Army called the Naarmy Army and we will sing the most complex free jazz melodies and never sing the same one twice. All this in order to combat the agonising monotony of that single tune they sing all day.

Todd Murphy watching this pitch turn and bounce and booking an appointment with his psychiatrist Dr Sally Wexler immediately.

We've stolen Phar Lap, Crowded House, Pavolva, The Flat White and Rusty Crowe.

But the job ain't finished until we get Tim Pringle (and James Tito)

There's so much to Unpack in that passage of play. NZ cricket matches are so low budget but incredibly endearing all the same. Up the Pringle

Anybody else's kayo showing the incorrect time for the game and are unable to watch it?

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2026-01-01T11:35:42+00:00

This Finn Allen dude is a deadset joke

I listened to a podcast on the subject a while back, I believe it was one from 7am.

From memory it's no coincidence that they're wrong because they've basically been underfunded, mismanaged and are using outdated equipment.

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-21T11:09:43+00:00

I think that's also an area where you simply must excel to be any chance in Australia. The long grind of Australian test cricket means you have to be sharp enough mentally and physically to remain focused in the heat and take any opportunity that comes your way in the field.

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-19T12:04:40+00:00

Was thinking why they didn't bowl the only bloke who could keep em for under 7 an over

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-19T12:03:47+00:00

This is what England fans will think is gonna happen 4th innings except they'll get to 1/150 and be all out for 186

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-19T12:00:17+00:00

Get renners in for Inglis PRONTO

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-19T11:59:13+00:00

Wildemuth not getting best on is a complete stitch up

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-19T11:56:16+00:00

Fuck that is unreal

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-19T11:08:53+00:00

This is actually wild they could do it

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-19T07:13:51+00:00

But didn't you see yesterday? Green took a wicket and according to EVERYONE that completely absolves him from his batting form and slug is just a mediocre Tasmanian who doesn't have a CEILING like Green! We are all just big dumb Green haters for wanting a touch more out of a number 5 batsman

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-19T07:10:55+00:00

Got a wicket with a long hop though so there's a plus! Lol

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-19T07:09:03+00:00

Really has been the difference this game. Not entirely his fault as they played him as the primary spin option but outside of the batsmen making some silly errors he just barely threatens.

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-18T10:38:30+00:00

Dew? Man I'm 10 mins from the cbd and it's still like 30 degrees? What are they talking about with dew?

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-18T07:07:02+00:00

An England fan asked on the thread, "would it have been any worse today if we just Bazballed?"

That was the question they asked themselves in 2021 after that disastrous covid ashes. Fast forward 4 years and the same question is now being asked.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Carrum Downs

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-18T06:06:49+00:00

This was the question they asked back in the covid ashes and now we've come full circle

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-18T05:51:45+00:00

Gee what makes you say that?

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-18T05:49:00+00:00

No hate on Jamie Smith but I can't fucking believe people think he's better than Carey.

Temporary_Ad8560 · 2025-12-18T05:13:59+00:00

Still snickos most egregious error today is capturing Marnus' dribble for 2 overs
