The Big Bash

Posted on by

This cunting is not so much about the cricket itself but the ‘add ons’. For a cricket enthusiast a tournament in the depths of an English winter should be a sure fire winner but as I watch game number three my piss is starting to boil.

Firstly, the players are taking the knee. I would love one of them to refuse to do so ; I am sure that the majority of players and fans do not approve of the bollocks .

Secondly, the commentators seem to be paid by the word. Whilst I respect them as ex players ,they prattle on trying to overanalyse each delivery. Someone needs to show them a video of Dan Maskell at Wimbledon all those years ago.

Lastly, there are adverts at the end of nearly every over and the fall of each wicket. To compound the viewer’s misery the adverts often overrun into the next over.

A potentially excellent event being ruined by thoughtlessness.

  1. Being from the ‘older’ generation and raised within walking distance of Edgbaston, I fell in love with the traditional three and five day format of cricket, and that’s how it’s stayed. Fifty over limited can be fantastic, but T20 is a travesty of the game for me, esp. with all the hullaballoo that surrounds it.
    ‘Big Bash’ coverage sounds horrendous, Guzzi!

    • I am a big fan of Warwickshire CC, and spent many-a-day watching them play 1 day and 5 day cricket at Edgbaston back in the 80s – the days of Dennis Amis, Alvin Kallicharran, and of course Big Bad Bob Willis.

      Have been to a few T20s, and i have to say, what a crock of shite! Just the sort of crap to appeal to short-attention-span cunts, but means absolutely fuck all!

      BTW- shit on the villa, ha!

      • Yeah those were the days; I go as far back as the likes MJK, Rohan Kanhai, David Brown, Bob Barber and Billy Ibadulla. Haunted the Rea Bank stand after school, on Saturdays and in the hols.
        Great stuff.

  2. The beautiful and great English game that is cricket has been tainted, bastardised, and corrupted by TV money and woke bollocks. Not unlike what has happened to football and boxing. Sky and BT are pure evil straight from Satan’s arse. But that is the thin end of the wedge. All sports will bow to this BLM Nazism eventually. Snooker players, crown green bowlers, tennis players at Wimbledon, golfers, and even the boat race mob will all take the knee for black gun toting criminal pregnant woman threatening scum. It appears that it is now compulsory to worship criminals. Is taking the knee for Chicken Floyd George and doing the black power salute any different to doing a Nazi salute and saying ‘Sieg Heil’? I don’t think it is. Bullying and intimidating people into doing a negative gesture en masse (the Black Panthers were a racist and fascist organisation who committed numerous crimes including rape and murder) and eulogising and worshiping the scum of the earth? There is no difference whatsoever. Oh, and BLM and the Nazis both hate Jews.

  3. According to the media when the FA surveyed the players 80% ‘voted’ to continue the kneeling bollocks, that means 20% didn’t. It would be interesting to know how many of the 80% actually want it continued but we’re just a little afraid of saying No.
    The knee shit should be banned!! If the cunts want to do it then do it in the warm up not after the kick off.

    #whitelivesmater.

    • Was the FA survey a secret vote? Was it bollocks; there wasn’t even a survey . Dr Gobbels is alive and well; leading his sheeple to doom.

  4. T20 is an absolute abomination. One day cricket is a slight improvement.

    County cricket is decent and Test Cricket is the ultimate. They’ve started pissing about with it now though. Shirt numbers in test cricket? Fuck off! Day/Night tests? Arse.

    A game that needs a high IQ to appreciate. And time to understand. Stuff like swing/reverse swing bowling/setting up a batsman/timing/skill/field positioning and mind boggling tactics. It requires immense concentration over many hours in some cases. And bollocks.

    Ben Stokes’s incredible Ashes innings for example. He survived for hours against the world’s best test bowling attack alongside a ‘number 11’ and had to make sure he was ‘on strike’ himself as much as possible (reversing the strike). The Aussies would end overs by getting close in to stop the singles but Stokes kept finding a way. It was genius and one tiny error and we would lose.

    If you didn’t understand any of that I suggest getting into it. You’re missing out because stuff like that is incredible (and terrifying) to watch.
    But yes, knee taking is fucking bollocks.

    Merry Christmas 🌲 Arse biscuits

  5. I won’t be watching anything with cunts taking the knee…….except Michael Caine and his mates kneeling and shooting the fuck out of the Zulus. Have they banned that film yet?

    • Give me the Italian Job over Zulu, any day of the week, lol

      “You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!”

  6. This commercialisation bollocks would be be bearable to a soundtrack of the thwack of willow on bone as far as commentary goes.
    I think somebody might have mentioned something similar previously so apologies in advance.
    I’m looking at you here Les! 😉

  8. Not rocket science, they care about money and couldn’t give a flying fuck, cold dead rats ass for fans….all sport is about money and parting simpletons from it and giving it to people with enough to live like kings already.

    Cricket pitches, football grounds, car racing tracks and even bowling greens should be bulldozed and replaced by giant shithouses.

    • The picture at the top says it all really, a supposed elite sporting event sponsored by fried chicken junk food…I can imagine the fans sitting on their grubby sofas with chicken grease running down their chins onto their generous bellies.

      Sports sponsored by junk food and fizzy drinks companies are about as appropriate as a vaccine sponsored by Dr Shipman.

  9. It’s a shame when everything “old-fashioned” has to be bastardised to cater for the kind of Cunts that have the attention span of a goldfish.
    It’s just not cricket.

    • Cricket is a sport thats more fun to play than watch.
      But I know possibly the best place to see amateur cricket played.
      The Royal Oak pub in Hayfield (peak District) has a cricket pitch right next to the pub.
      Ahh the sound of leather on willow,
      Quintessentially English.
      Cucumber sandwiches anyone?

  10. Is there going to be any sport left in the whole world which doesn’t involve paying its humble respects to St George of Floyd beforehand.

    Complete Cunts!

    • Cross burning.
      We meet twice a week, training on wednesday at 7.00, the big match on Saturday👍

      Don’t be late for training-last one in has to make the tea.

      Bring paraffin and at least 3 white pillowcases 😃👍

      • Techno:

        I referenced it in the first response to B&W Cunts recent nomination about women hanging around.
        I saw Graham Goldman’s 10cc at a small festival a few years ago- he did this one. 👍

      • CG, we have a Strawberry studios brew mug in our house!
        My mate had the pub facing it,
        The walls were plastered in photos of people whod recorded at Strawberry Studios.
        The famous photo of Joy Division leaning on railings is just outside Strawberry Studios.

  11. Used to love Test Match cricket on the BBCistan.
    Then Sky bought it and promptly turned it into a giant pile of shit.
    Cunts.

  12. T20 cricket is Yankee baseball in all but name.
    Bowl a few overpitched deliveries and let the batsman smash the ball into orbit. One big fucking yawn fest.

    Now that the Indians try to fully dominate the global cricketing market with their absurd IPL and “auctioning” of players, it’s a miracle Test cricket survives at all. That it does, and is beginning to show signs of some very competitive Tests, suggests to me there is a level of push back to this overhyped and hyperbolic T20 wankery.

    Richie Benaut would be spinning in his grave at what T20 has done to cricket.

  14. I loved cricket and being a Hampshire follower got to see some good international class players, Barry Richards, Gordon Greenidge and my all time favourite player, Malcolm Marshall to name a few.
    I know Shane Warne has had his critics, but when he came to Hampshire and as the captain, he made them more of a positive side. The likes of Mark Nicholas were boring cunts.
    I couldn’t give a fuck about sport so much now, it has lost it’s appeal and that is a shame as sport, whether playing or watching was a big part of my life.

    • As a Hampshire man in exile I agree with your views although I would also include Robin Smith as an all time great . Have been in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire since 1976. I see myself not quite as a missionary but a bringer of civilisation. As you may deduce, workingwith the likes of MNC is challenging.

    • Yeh that’s three fabulous overseas servants there and don’t forget the great Andy Roberts too. My lot had to get by with Viv and Joel!!

      And fuck we had to really watch out when they were injured ….. Marshall once bowled England out with one arm in a sling and Gordon bagged a double ton when suffering with something like badly torn ankle ligaments.

      Warne also played a great part in Hants new era at the Bowl and, surprisingly for a legend nearing retirement, he certainly didn’t just take the piss. Having Liz Hurley to go home to must have been a big bash all on its own.

      • Going home to Liz Hurley; gives a whole new meaning to getting some wood to tackle bouncers with

      • Haha ….. top drawer Ron!

        Pictures of Liz recently in the paper in one of her bikinis. Christ! Incredible!

        PS Great to have you back after that spell at Her Majesty’s Pleasure.

      • Thank you Isaac, another one I missed in Andy Roberts.
        I miss the old days, can’t say I will miss this modern era or show any enthusiasm for it.

  15. On the subject of cricket, haven’t heard much about the death of John Edrich. Robin Jackman passed away in the same week.
    Modern day sportsmen are cunts.

    • Spot on Ginge.

      Close and Edrich standing up to the Windies quicks without helmets and protection was awe inspiring

  16. I’d love to take the cricket bats to their faces whilst they’re taking the knee.
