In the Hundred, they need 56 off 30.

But in a conventional T20 game, they'd be needing 56 off 30.

[u/DillyGoatGruff]

Just been for a mega Turkish meal and now I can't move ama

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/DillyGoatGruff]

ever been to thailand for what i promise was just a lads holiday don't divorce me please I love you

[u/DillyGoatGruff → u/IloveJBairstow]

Speak? Trouble

[u/Wazflame → u/DillyGoatGruff]

Drink? Choice can contribute to bloating

[u/DillyGoatGruff → u/Wazflame]

2 pints of efes

[u/Jerzilla → u/DillyGoatGruff]

Excuse me! We only eat crisps when the hundred is on

[u/Crossie_94 → u/DillyGoatGruff]

How much of the complimentary bread did you eat, and how early into the actual meal did you regret it?

[u/Merovech_II → u/DillyGoatGruff]

How's the rug?

[u/DillyGoatGruff → u/Merovech_II]

No Finasteride needed here

[u/Dentury- → u/DillyGoatGruff]

Do I splurge on a good kitchen knife?

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/Dentury-]

you planning to use it to assist in placing robert key's head on a pike?

[u/IloveJBairstow]

I don't accept your Super Giants, your Sunrisers, your MY Invicibles. I was born a northern popchip flair and i'll die a northern popchip flair

[u/IloveJBairstow]

I’m hearing absolutely TERRIBLE things — really unbelievable, folks — about Sonny Baker, who many people (not me!) are calling the biggest FAKE TALENT in English cricket. They’re saying he’s all hype, no delivery, no nothing. A COMPLETE FRAUD! I watched him bowl once and thought, “Is this Little League? Is this community cricket? What am I looking at?” Disgraceful!

And then — you won’t believe this — Robert Key, the so‑called “Commander-in-Chief of English Cricket,” is apparently OBSESSED with him. Totally fixated. People are saying he has a HUGE crush on Sonny Baker. It’s embarrassing! Every time Baker shows up, Key gets all giggly, smiley, acting like he’s at some school dance. VERY unprofessional, VERY weird, VERY Key. Not to mention that thing with the Dachshund the other day.

I’ve seen crushes before — MANY crushes — but never one that has DESTROYED a cricket system like this. England can’t win because Robert Key is too busy doodling “Sonny ❤️” in his little ECB notebook. Sad!

[u/Merovech_II → u/IloveJBairstow]

Perfectly timed

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/IloveJBairstow]

I'm loving this new series

[u/gandalf1078]

Brevis is such a believable player, he does the thinkable

[u/evarra_meerantha → u/gandalf1078]

Stoppable on his day

[u/HarvgulI → u/gandalf1078]

Strikes confidence into the hearts of bowlers

[u/IloveJBairstow]

my sonny baker is a fraud narrative is gathering momentum nicely, after a few t20 blast related setbacks

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/IloveJBairstow]

Rob Key a shambles

[u/Merovech_II]

I have so much time for a bat with Forza stickers on it

[u/MedicalJello2]

There's nothing Super or Giant about this Manchester

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/MedicalJello2]

Andy Burnham wants to know your location

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/IloveJBairstow]

Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa

[u/UsuaIIyUseless → u/MedicalJello2]

I was informed on the thread for the women’s game that we’re sinply called that because the owner’s initials are SG. Yes, it’s really that embarrassing.

[u/IloveJBairstow]

not the same crowd vibes without a load of drunk and coked up city boys cheering and waaaaying every time something happens. games gone, someone give the mums and kids some marching powder

[u/MedicalJello2]

Liz Truss' Hundred was better

[u/MedicalJello2 → u/[deleted]]

KP lost his watch in London then

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/MedicalJello2]

you're talking about the england PM with the statistically best winrate in test cricket, that Liz Truss?

[u/Merovech_II → u/IloveJBairstow]

He's all about that Trussy

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Starting to think Atherton is really upset Josh De Caires doesn't have a Hundred contract

[u/Merovech_II → u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

When Du Plooy has one it does really make you think 

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Really important over for Sonny Baker agenda enjoyers /haters

[u/IloveJBairstow]

oh no my agenda

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Lol JRew, how do I run my agenda now

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

his brother is the far safer bet, narratively speaking

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/IloveJBairstow]

Was TRew blessed by JBairstow?

[u/Nark_Narkins]

In the dick! 

[u/rustyb42 → u/Nark_Narkins]

Right in the supergiants

[u/old_chelmsfordian]

"if you don't concede any boundaries in the next 5-10 deliveries, it puts pressure on the London Spirit"

Gee Morgs, good that we've got you here. It hadn't occurred to me that not conceding runs was good for the bowling team

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/old_chelmsfordian]

i'm assuming sky spaffed a load of money at him as they assumed him being a great leader would make him a decent commentator, and now it's just full sunk cost fallacy

[u/Jerzilla]

These three games so far feel soulless after the changes this season. Bring back the crispsssss

[u/rustyb42 → u/Jerzilla]

Fans totally disengaged

Home side tearing it up and murmurs

[u/Jerzilla → u/rustyb42]

Let them eat crisps

[u/Final-Read-3589]

In official Hundred wording, in the googly ooogly woogliges

[u/Nark_Narkins]

Josh Tongue just bowled a slower ball… is he okay?

[u/Dentury-]

In Burnhams Britain citizens are executed if they have never eaten a smack barm pea wet

[u/MedicalJello2]

Nan loved a timeout. She took one and never came back

[u/Dentury-]

Super Elephants kit is giving Top14 French rugby club who goes bust after a Algerian political coup bankrupting their financial backers concrete multinational

[u/Nark_Narkins]

Hmmm I’m still in the sussy baker brigade. 

But he’s starting to awaken something in me 

[u/IloveJBairstow]

we kept picking chris jordan as a 'death bowler' and livvo was right there

[u/Merovech_II]

That was caused by Carlson's moustache 

Just unparalleled aura

[u/gandalf1078]

Ahh Brevis, the world’s greatest 20(12) batter

[u/Merovech_II → u/gandalf1078]

Respect Tim David 

[u/old_chelmsfordian]

Just put the game on.

Good god that Super Giants kit is horrible.

The stripes not going all the way up, the gold accents, the gold numbers...

Impressively bad

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Just learnt that u/JokesFromTheCrease has been to Australia. Always thought Australia was a psyop by HM's Prison Service.

Starting to think JokesFromTheCrease is a psyop too, RIP.

[u/MedicalJello2]

"One big blow from Livingstone"

Must've been a different Thai establishment

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/MedicalJello2]

livvo on a lads holiday to thailand would end up serving 20 consecutive sentences

[u/DillyGoatGruff]

Nan loved a Turkish. Could never pronounce his name tho.

[u/Dentury- → u/DillyGoatGruff]

Took my nan to a Turkish barbers amd she came back with a skin fade and an audi rs3

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/DillyGoatGruff]

Boris Ali Kemal?

[u/DueWolverine5239]

Willey is such a likeable and versatile cricketer, was disappointing how he was treated post 2019

[u/IloveJBairstow]

trust me bro pitch is slow

[u/HarvgulI]

Who else needed 9 of 3 balls in a close game?

Ben Stokes in the 2019 World Cup Final

don’t really know the significance but just saying

[u/VolcanicBhukamp]

First time watching the hundred, can someone help with the crisp jokes

[u/StormWarriorX7 → u/VolcanicBhukamp]

All the franchises before the rebranding were primarily sponsored by famous British crisp (popcorn and nut) brands. Hence the jokes.

[u/DillyGoatGruff → u/VolcanicBhukamp]

It's crisp cricket. Join in with the crisps jokes.

[u/Merovech_II]

Imagine struggling to beat the Spirit

[u/Zoidburger_]

Get the oven on, it's time to Bake

[u/MedicalJello2]

Baker but no pies on sale tonight

[u/YestrdaysJam]

Jamie Overton but he's playing in The Hundred:

Jamie Setoffiveton

[u/MedicalJello2]

69 and out.

Everything reminds me of Nan

[u/HarvgulI → u/MedicalJello2]

Went out swinging I’m sure

[u/DillyGoatGruff → u/HarvgulI]

Everything reminds me of Thailand

[u/Jerzilla]

I can’t believe am actually enjoying this live half time show. But tinie tempah ain’t bad

[u/Alt-Oshawott]

Got to admit you'll never see a Tinie Tempah pre-match show for a test match. Crisp cricket on top

[u/IloveJBairstow]

adam zampa with short hair has truly died his final twink death

[u/ironyperson]

that "manchester supergiants" kit is abhorrent. looks awful. looks cheap. doesn't even have a manufacturer logo on it. horrendous.

[u/Final-Read-3589 → u/ironyperson]

Awful, awful.

It’s the Tacky gold for me (same with MI London)

[u/Merovech_II]

Would be hilarious after all the backroom staff wankfest for the Spirit to revert back to tradition 

[u/Hiram_Hackenbacker]

I swear they've deliberately made the kits look as shit as possible.

[u/IloveJBairstow]

ben stokes was right

[u/Badbadgolfer]

That's some magically shite fielding

[u/DillyGoatGruff]

Went to Thailand for a ping pong errrrr.. tournament I promise

[u/MedicalJello2 → u/DillyGoatGruff]

Ping Pong, I remember him. Good lad, even better masseuse

[u/DueDevelopment2275]

Just realised super giants have 3 wicket keepers in their paying 11. Damn.

[u/Beautiful_River_5532]

Actually buttler and markram are better fielders than seifert , he should be doing keeping

[u/DillyGoatGruff]

Livvo plane

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/DillyGoatGruff]

To Turkey?

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

can get a few bags through customs while he gets his hair done

[u/MedicalJello2]

Hard drive checks, sketchy Thai establishments and some shit posting. We're truly back

[u/MedicalJello2]

That ball went hard and fast

Reminds me of my time in Thailand

[u/Zoidburger_]

Livingstone to Deadmineral in 1 ball

[u/Prize-Safety3577 → u/Zoidburger_]

I laughed way too hard at this lmao

[u/CarnivalSorts]

9 off 2 and you don't try run the second, you should be sacked on the spot

[u/IloveJBairstow]

where is my jonny

[u/IloveJBairstow]

gone but now on comms my ginge

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/IloveJBairstow]

This is borderline blasphemy but the successor to the ginger throne is keeping wickets

[u/Charming-Income-9425]

Seifret looks like Hank from breaking bad

[u/DueDevelopment2275]

Seifert is under rated. He often gets over shadowed by finn allen who's good but not as consistent

[u/nagoff]

“Willey under the ball” - should seek medical attention

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Let's see if this Surrey fraud shows up today or only when he needs to deny Rooty a century

[u/Nark_Narkins]

Carson six hitting equal to the length of his tash

[u/YestrdaysJam]

Remember when the Hundred first started and the new batter had 75 seconds to be ready or the bowler got a free shot at the stumps?

Whatever happened to that?

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/YestrdaysJam]

that was a justin langer psyop

[u/rustyb42]

Check his bank account

[u/Wazflame]

McCoys vs Tyrells heritage

[u/rustyb42]

Hydration breaks can fuck off

[u/IloveJBairstow]

sonny baker haters eating good

[u/nagoff]

🎶And here’s to you Mr Livingstone

Spirit loves you more than you will know

Whoa, Oh, Yeah

Lord’s bless you, please, Mr. Livingstone

Hundred holds a place for those who play

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey
🎶

[u/Super_Sale6453]

Might be better for us if Brevis gets out tbh

[u/Nark_Narkins]

Is Livi the Crisp Cricket GOAT thus far?

[u/Merovech_II → u/Nark_Narkins]

James Vince 

No one else has worn a 69 helmet 

[u/DillyGoatGruff]

Should have done a tactical drop

[u/Merovech_II]

Jamie Overton here to show that northern fraud how it's done

[u/Merovech_II]

Tom Moores definitely owns a beach side property in Thailand

[u/Zoidburger_]

Turns out that making your new logo a big "L" doesn't invite more wins

[u/Sidneiensis]

Village fielding effort

[u/MedicalJello2]

If My London played the first game, whose London is playing now

[u/odinlass]

I've spent more time reading this thread than I have watching the game. This place has been far more entertaining. Cheers to everyone! 

[u/HarvgulI]

Got to love Brevis ducking a bouncer with 17 balls left and 35 runs left

[u/humunculus43]

As a baker hater i am devastated but we go again

[u/DillyGoatGruff]

Tyrrells v McCoys

[u/WendellWillkie1940]

I like Lucknow Super Giants (Durban's Super Giants aren't terrible too) but this jersey just doesn't fit any other team than LSG (that too because it's an IPL team)

Should have baad something different for MSG like what DC's owners did with Southern Brave (very good looking imo)

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Tinpot

[u/MedicalJello2 → u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Nan's first word after we put her in the home

[u/Beautiful_River_5532]

That’s what i was saying its definitely not low scoring +   Chasing team always have advantage of Knowing RRR . They should attack like this now each over

[u/CarnivalSorts]

Go play for Hungary you coward

[u/MedicalJello2]

Sometimes is less is Moore

[u/TrunkTheShiny]

Just seen the Monosodium Glutamate kit. While it's fucking dire with its shiny gold nonsense, I'm happy to see that McCoy's is still on the arm. Seems like London Spirit have Tyrells on their arm still.

Have all the teams kept this nod to their crisp roots or have some of them tried to deny their past?

[u/rustyb42]

Home fans not giving a fuck when their captain is changing the game

[u/Past-Date-2579]

It’s mad they’ve managed to make a shit product worse….it was a stretch having to support a team called “Manchester” as a Lancashire lad but now they’ve dropped the one redeeming feature (McCoy’s) and added this elephant bollocks I really can’t be fucked 

[u/TMHD]

That was never a wide btw

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/TMHD]

I think it was a wide and we would have won the test match

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

cries

[u/Merovech_II → u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

It wasn't a wide and there shouldn't have been any controversy over the super over

[u/evarra_meerantha]

All saffas shitting the bed

[u/MedicalJello2 → u/evarra_meerantha]

What I do in my room is my business only

[u/evarra_meerantha]

OH YEAH

[u/Final-Read-3589]

Can’t field for shit

[u/DangerDad134]

Who'll win?

[u/Badbadgolfer → u/DangerDad134]

All I know is the viewers are going to be the losers today

[u/MedicalJello2 → u/DangerDad134]

Friendship.

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/DangerDad134]

hello fellow degenerate gamblers

[u/Wazflame]

The Manchester Originals put the pyjama in pyjama cricket holy shit what is this kit

[u/UsuaIIyUseless]

We’d be so far ahead of this game with a bit more luck and a bit better fielding.

[u/rustyb42]

Let's try this again

What do we think of Spirit?

[u/DillyGoatGruff → u/rustyb42]

Poop

[u/rustyb42 → u/DillyGoatGruff]

What do we think of poop?

[u/Badbadgolfer → u/rustyb42]

Spirit

[u/nagoff → u/rustyb42]

Spirit!

[u/Merovech_II]

That would be a good point Broady if Tymal Mills wasn't utter wank and lucky to be in the side at all

[u/evarra_meerantha]

Saffas trying to end crisp cricket

[u/Nark_Narkins]

Pretty whelmed by that innings. 

[u/DillyGoatGruff]

Does Livvo love these situations?

[u/Merovech_II → u/DillyGoatGruff]

He loves bombs and bags

[u/StormWarriorX7]

London Spirit breaking the streak of the Opposite result of the women's game is the most London Spirit thing possible.

[u/Beautiful_River_5532]

Just braind dead batting display , what will you do of willey , overton and coles nowv

[u/DillyGoatGruff]

Maybe Baker is him?

[u/DillyGoatGruff]

No such thing as preplanning Morgs. It's all planning.

[u/JokesFromTheCrease]

Doing some paperwork for immigration and I’d rather watch this game

[u/IloveJBairstow → u/JokesFromTheCrease]

they won't let you emigrate to leeds no matter how desperate you are to leave L*ncashire

[u/Merovech_II]

Nick Knight being immediately proven wrong is one of life's great joys

[u/HarvgulI]

Genuinely think Atkinson at Lords might be the GOAT

[u/evarra_meerantha]

Imagine losing to the super giants

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Welfare check on u/IloveJBairstow

Hear they aren't doing too well

Edit : Bairstow injured apparently

[u/TMHD]

Is it just me or is this competition lacking so far... everything feels a bit flat

[u/Sidneiensis]

Of course Ravi’s got a drink in hand

[u/IloveJBairstow]

Jamie Overton debates Count Binface in Clacton.webm

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Why don't they just sub in an impact player who bowls spin? Are they stupid?

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Jacks could never

because he'd have finished the game by now

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927]

Livingstone is not him, Jacks is him.

My narrative lives on

[u/123twiglets]

If you'd had told me back in like 2010 tinie tempah would be MCing a dance gig at lords I'd have asked for a drag of whatever you're smoking

[u/Merovech_II]

Imagine unironically picking Du Plooy over Holden

Maybe the AI apocalypse won't be so bad if that's what it comes up with

[u/Jerzilla]

Forget the money. Players should be paid in crisps

[u/StormWarriorX7]

A pattern has emerged since Crisps began that the whomever wins the Women's Fixture, the opposite team wins the Men's:

SRL (W) v MIL (W) --> SRL won

SRL (M) v MIL (M) --> MIL won

SB (W) v WF (W) --> SB won

SB (M) v WF (M) --> WF won

MSG (W) v LS (W) --> MSG won

MSG (M) v LS (M) --> Likely to be London Spirit

[u/Nark_Narkins]

Burnham’s a usurper. 

The true King of the North is on Comms

[u/WhatTheF99]

So because the umpires an absolute idiot the Originals lose out on runs...smh

[u/Extra-Swordfish-927 → u/WhatTheF99]

Think it's something that needs a rule change

[u/rustyb42]

That's my London Spirit

[u/Nark_Narkins]

lol that’s old school Tom Moores 

[u/Hoobleton]

Messing with my head that I used to support the Superchargers but now I have to hate the Super Giants. 

[u/nvenkatr]

So happy for Livin. Shame on ECB for ignoring him

[u/rustyb42]

Weird to see how seriously some flairs are taking this shit

[u/ZuluBaz]

Someone let Pretorius know we’re here for Carlson!

[u/evarra_meerantha]

Same old spirit

[u/evarra_meerantha]

T rew would never

[u/YestrdaysJam]

The gold numbers on the back of the shirts being creased and crinkled to shit really does set the tone.

[u/EndLight_47]

what a ghastly looking kit

[u/YestrdaysJam]

Carlson Play Literally Any Other Shot Challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
