Their loss, it is the biggest, most posted, most read, longest lasting and best thread ever on DL, never causing a problem either and yet for some reason there is this desire to end it.

Football is discussed, yet it is put on a general discussion board.

It's the biggest load of bs, trivia and wasted time. 

Best thread ever.

Cleveland got a show.

Looked at the field and all the odds.

Shortest is $4.40 and the longest at around one fiffty$.

With a field of only 24, has any one worked out the permutations of backing every horse?

There's usually a long shot that gets a place.

Calling all DL math wizards.

Put simply, if you put a dollar to win on every horse, you need a winner at 24 to 1 or better, to make a profit. 

I know someone who says she has backed the winner every year. She backs every horse in it.

Funny!

You will have three wins if you back each one for a place.( First is also considered a place, I think). Hopefully altogether they pay more than 24 dollars.

Anyone else watching the cricket? Angelo Mathews was just given for “timed out.”  I’ve never seen that before. He was more surprised than anyone.

Yeah the commentators just said it’s the first time this has happened in International Cricket.

It’s just not cricket! 🧐

Looks weird on the scorecard…

Was that to do with the time it took to get out to the middle, after a wicket fell?

No Daise, a batsman only has two minutes starting from the fall of the previous wicket to him facing up. Of course, you see it all the time where a batsman takes a bit longer than two minutes but it isn’t an issue. It’s up to the captain of the fielding side to make an appeal to the umpire, which is something I’ve never seen happen. There’s some bad blood between these two sides which is probably why Shakib appealed. The umpire had no choice but to give him out.

It’s actually 3 minutes.

But what’s a minute between friends?

Whatever it is , it's worse than getting out than handled ball or hit wicket. 

How do you explain it to your teammates. Oh wait you probably did while you were playing poker with them at the time.

I'm looking forward to the finals but I really think India already have it won. They have an exceptional bowling line up.

Still probably better than the slop they serve up from the good people at Netflix. New releases read like a list of Hollywood classics from the forties. It's now become a collection of b grade movies from Mongolia and 500$ "doco series" about mass murderers. The only people who this defunct streaming service appeals to these days are executive Producers.

For authentic, vintage rubbish you need TubiTV, but I'm pretty sure it'll install a virus that makes your washing smell funny and pokes holes in your flyscreen. I ended up there after seeing 'Bad Movie Bible' on youtube, which appears to be hosted by the unacknowledged offspring of Margaret & Dave from the movie show.

Ironically, 'Mystery Science Theatre 3000' is on Netflix.

It used to be three minutes. It’s now two.

A minute’s a long time if you only have two of them!

It was 2 minutes when I played club cricket back in the 70's and 80's and everyone was aware of the rule.

In those days, the club kit might only have allowed to have 2 batsmen padded up, so if a couple fell quickly it was a rush to get padded up.

I also can’t see anyone else winning it, Deeves. As you mention, their bowling stocks are chef’s kiss. Shami, Siraj and Bumrah are absolutely  formidable. Add that to their batting lineup (Shreyas, Shubman Gill and of course, King Kohli) and it’s easy to imagine they’ll take the championship out without dropping a single match.

 

I still believe we’re the only ones who can trouble them, though.

edit: Even without Hardik who was yesterday officially ruled out for the remainder of the tournament they’ll romp home.

Sometimes not dropping a game builds ironic pressure.

the punishment seems way out of whack with reason

there must be other penalties more appropriate, like x runs per minute late etc

I agree it’s a very harsh penalty. It was avoidable, too. I reckon it wouldn’t have happened had Mathews not been so cavalier. He should’ve talked to Shakib explaining the issue with his helmet, the strap on it was loose or whatever the reason, and in all likelihood Shakib wouldn’t have appealed to the umpire. That said, it is an unsavoury incident.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!
