The really wealthy guy was given the bar and all the grog by his daddy, pays his staff peanuts and throws his toys out of the cot when anyone mentions a wealth tax

Sheensie mate our views broadly align politically but there is nothing to be gained from attacking other posters like TS, who mostly seems to keep away from the politcal argy bargh that goes on here. Not helping your cause

Can you expand on what you mean here with an example?

The was the scare tactic used pretty regularly in the UK. Know how many millionaires left last year? 11000 Know how many still remain? 2.6 million

Pacific champs then into a holiday? If i'm reading it right he has only just gotten back.

Sky is the limit. If those Fabri comments don't get you excited nothing will. He is probably the only premium athletic talent we have in our entire top 30, with Taylan May maybe an exception. Has the work ethic and attitude to match. Up to the coaches and teammates to help get his best version.

Yep. They've been drinking their own bathwater (or however the saying goes). Frustrating thing (for the English) is they have actually built a good side capable of winning in Aus for the first time since 2010. The only thing getting in the way of them winning this series is their enormous ego...

If they haven't been able to reflect on what happened in that first test they are doomed. So much for "bazball with brains" i.e they Australian cricket team through the 90s and 2000s.

The centre right and left of politics have been ineffectual in reducing inequality, which has lead to these populist characters with unworkable solutions both on the left and right popping up globally.

Cut income taxes to actually incentivise hard work. Tax extreme wealth, tax multinationals properly, get our fair share from our resources and minerals. Invest in health and education

PNG will win the comp in 2035. There's my one if we are making baseless predictions based in no fact that everyone will have forgotten about by the time it comes around.

To be fair it is pretty understandable if no one wants to be claiming Piers as one of their own...

Is there some kind of bat signal that summons you whenever this kind of stuff is brought up Winnie? Its actually impressive

Is it possible that if Lyon is not fully fit and Webster came in that he would be replaced with a batter, it being a pink test and at the Gabba? Someone like Inglis? Cummins Starc Boland Green Webster Head and Marnus for some part timers if necessary. Current selectors are fairly risk averse...

Agreed Steve, this has to be the team. Probably regardless if Khawaja is fit or not. Interestingly Renshaw just hit 100 against the pink ball, under lights against the Vics

Its been very difficult to get tickets this year. Ive a theory that CA have sold more tickets/packages than normal at a hugely inflated price to the English to cover the losses from the short tests due to their useless cricket team.

Scorecard so far looks very similar to the same test last year against India. Early doors and plenty of time to turn it around but my god that batting was awful. feels like upside down world with England having 4 guys who can bowl 145+. Hate it

I think they will go hard at Boland and Lyon and it could go either way

They have made some noise about moderating it a bit this series e.g. picking their moments a bit better. We will see if they have grown some brains.

Glad to see the club isn't publicising the players who have turned up to pre-season underdone this year. That turned into an unnecessary circus last year
