Cricket Season Thread

Well despite Head going 1st ball
The Bison with 50 off 30 balls made sure of it
In the end we cruised to a 7 wicket win with 26 + overs to spare
Last 14 times we've played Poms in ODI cricket
Its Australia 11 Poms 3
Weve got a few young ones doing well
Future is bright I hope
 
As I've said before, this isn't on Uzzie or Warner or Patty, CA brought it upon themselves by giving them 50x bigger suspensions than anyone else.

They threw 3 people under the bus for the culture they had fostered. Ofc there is going to be resentment.

I sincerely think that Boof probably the only one who got least criticism but eventually left.

Spot on. Should have been maybe 5 tests for Smith as captain and Warner and 3 for Cam Patsy Bancroft. Said it wasn’t on, bemoan the general movement in international cricket to doctoring the ball and call for a global response.

I think the ICC suspension was 1 test. The poms gave their ball tamperers OBEs…
 
Also Khawajas royalties from selling the books are probably peanuts. If it wasn't him, Warner or Paine or Bancroft, someone would have said something somewhere.

And remember now all ex players going on podcasts, doing interviews, on talk shows etc are also making money off it talking about this.

No point blaming just Khawaja. Everyone wants to have an opinion on this and make money off it.

My opinion for Smith has gone up too. He's taken the punishment that was way above what he deserved, came back and showed why he's the best Test batsman of his generation. Legend.
 
Hard to fault Cummins’ press conference. Took on all questions, answered frankly. If this was a trial I prefer his evidence to Khawaja who looks as though he’s got an axe to grind.

Probably six figure advance, $5 a book? Wrote it himself. With all the publicity he’ll probably do okay. He’s probably already recorded the audible voiceover…
