We're getting good at stuffing everything up. Seriously >
England of course are in the midst of a racism sandal involving Yorkshire cricket club and their treatment of Pakistan born cricketers...several well known ex players now commentators up to their necks in it and its clear the county system in England is full of it and Yorkshire is just the tip of the iceberg.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - DJC - 11-19-2021
Once there's a digital record, or hard copy for that matter, plausible deniability is not an option. What a goose!
Does this provide an opportunity for Smith to be re-instated?
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Mav - 11-19-2021
Probably best to find someone who hasn't engaged in ball-related stupidity as it's now a bit of a trend.

England's bowling falls away alot once away from their green pitches, cloud and Dukes Ball.But they brings bags and bags of the good boiled lollies with them, which they claim they do not use, yet apparently the lollies have been sighted at customs inspection!
I suppose someone has become addicted, after all they are not banned! :o
The ACB stupidly let Castlemaine Rock go out of business!

It will be interesting to see which way the ACB go.
Could we see Head going from borderline selection to captaining an Ashes squad?
Personally, I think Cummins is a bad choice, pace bowlers do not make good judgements at the end of a long hot day in the field. I say this having been a opening bowler and captain, but it was really late in my career when I was happy to give the pill to somebody else that I was most effective as captain. You don't drive fatigued, don't captain Australia fatigued either!
Is Labuschagne a chance, could someone like Handscomb or Maddinson come in to lead with Carey as keeper?
Did Wade announce his retirement a day too soon?

anchor remains and I cant see the selectors going there. If Carey played as keeper then he could be the other choice other than Cummins.

The wheels may grind slowly, but they do grind.....
He was captain in 2018. It was investigated in 2018 by CA and CT. They found it was consensual between 2 adults so, while they didn't condone it, both bodies said it was between them and decided it wasn't anything that should cost him the captaincy.
Reading the text messages. Looked very consensual.

Looks like what happened is the women was charged with theft from Cricket Tasmania, where she worked, in June 2018 and then decided to put in a complaint about Paine. Looks like a form of revenge against Cricket Tasmania for having her charged.

Warnie can advise him how to handle it. He had that they of stuff hanging over him his whole career....lol.

Reckon thats the end of his career at International level and even at State Level its going to be difficult for him, imagine the crap he is going cop from the sledgers.

Josh Bootsma could probably help Tim Paine out, he knows a thing or two about sending selfies ......

Social media ... and its associated pitfalls
