Like him or hate him he gets the credits.

Absolute crapeWhole summer of cricket has been a non contest, second best team going around??..what carp.You have India, Aus, England and maybe South Africa...the rest are rubbish and if we are to have a decent summer of cricket we need to fixture a decent team from the former group I mentioned to be playing at least 3 tests if we have to include these second rate test nations because having these non contests are bad for the game IMO.Everyone loves Aus to win but you want a contest not the carp that Pakistan and New Zealand have dished up...
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? Reply #2241 – January 06, 2020, 10:45:23 pm I said months back this summer was headed for failure and look at it. Disaster. Marnus my son, you could be anything. Seriously good already regardless of the attack.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? Reply #2242 – January 15, 2020, 11:44:51 am I'd be checking the betting slips. That 50-50 result reeks and I'm not smelling roses and chocolate.

Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? Reply #2246 – January 16, 2020, 08:23:25 am Well, if India wants to muck around and play silly buggers the best thing our blokes can do is go out there and give thema thrashing, and that's what they did.Top effort from our openers. Warner loves making runs and he's very good at it.A general bloody good effort from Australia and that's what I like to see.

Agreed, you can only play against who you play against.No wonder it wasn't broadcast FTA, CheatsTV must have known something the rest of us didn't!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? Reply #2248 – January 16, 2020, 10:23:49 am I reckon Virat and his lads might have had a few $$$ on the Aussies winning in the manner they did?
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? Reply #2249 – January 18, 2020, 10:11:18 am Even more evidence to check the books after that result.....cold pastie to beef Wellington overnight, sure, we believe that one Virat.
