Having said that, the Aussie cricketers in general seem to be immune to criticism.I was listening to SEN a day or two ago and the presenter was shocked that around 90% of callers/texters were critical of Warner’s behaviour.

Re: Smith's Crew in SA Reply #69 – March 11, 2018, 11:53:33 pm Back to the cricket...ABDevilliers has taken the Saffies to a decent lead , scored a very nice century( 100 of 118 balls) and we are struggling at 3 for 86.....Rabada bowled Warner with a peach and Smith cant seem to play left arm spin anymore and has fallen to Maharaj again.Still about 50 behind so it aint looking flash....the whole Warner/DeKock saga seems to have fired the Saffies up and Rababa should be fined again after sending Warner off in a unpleasant manner...

Think we know our cricketers are fair game and get knocked for the sake of it. You don't even bother asking callers opinions on a player as you know.the results beforehand. Called tall poppy syndrome where envious callers who'll never be any good try to bring a tall poppy down. Going bad taking callers seriously.If people are having a go at Warner for defending his family then there's something seriously wrong. Naturally no-one has a go at De Kock, the person in the wrong, because he's not Australian. Can only knock our own as That's our mentality.. Quote Selected
Re: Smith's Crew in SA Reply #71 – March 12, 2018, 08:08:39 am Warner is a DH, fullstop.Always has been, always will be....The whole circus created by his inability to act like an adult has lead to our disastrous performance in Test 2.He needs a holiday. Quote Selected

Re: Smith's Crew in SA Reply #73 – March 12, 2018, 09:31:13 am Yep, ABdeV showing what true class looks like, I've always thought he was never out of the argument as to no. 1. Smith's odd technique showing a chunk against LA orthodox spin.I was pooh poohed pre series for suggesting Rabada to be a gun, should miss at least the next test which will give our blokes a chance to regroup. The mop showed himself to be yet another left arm Mitch, bowling the odd jaffa amongst a sea of four balls. Can't expect to win tests with a strike bowler going at four and not taking wickets.

Re: Smith's Crew in SA Reply #74 – March 12, 2018, 10:26:00 am if i had been picking our team for the PE test, neither Bancroft, Waner nor Khawaja would have played.Bancroft and Khawaja because they're both not up to it presently and enough is enough.Warner because he is a right royal DH who behaviour disrupts the entire team....Smith should have given him a massive spray andstood him down not a pat on the back.Again, bad bad captaincy from Smith (and no doubt the whole saga is affecting his form) let alone the fact that our top order is a joke.....
