Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - DJC - 07-06-2023
The spirit of cricket coves were out in force when Carey got sconed … tossers!
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 07-06-2023
Yea, lot of spirit of the game stuff....not.
This current batch of poms includes a large number of classless flogs.

It's a bit weird reading the reports of Mitch Marsh.
Some in the media referring to him as our "Most Maligned Cricketer", surely this is a WA / NSW Cricket perspective, because while Warner continues to be selected how can it possibly be the case that Mitch Marsh would be the most maligned by the Australian public?

But I suppose while we keep playing Warner it's difficult to take the high ground!

Reporting Mitch Marsh as the "Most Maligned" just exposes a victim mentality, he can blame his failings on somebody else, in the meantime it's "Don't talk about the war......." for Warner!

Mark Butcher could get excommunicated by English cricket after his comment last night. It was along the lines of, “I don’t know what all the fuss is about [Bairstow’s dismissal and other similar stumpings and runouts], batsmen shouldn’t wander out of their crease.”
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 07-07-2023
Warner didn't last an over vs Broad, surely the end is nigh?

Reckon he will call it quits at series end and stick to the short format stuff. He will be hoping Broad gets rotated out next test after they lose this test and the Ashes.
Think Jimmy will get the last two tests and call it quits too, Joe Root is bowling quicker than Jimmy....

I like how Stokes followed his "spirit of the game" mantra and told the umpire he touched the rope while holding the ball calling it a 4. Well played Sir.
