Smith was captain and knew about the 'plan' at the time. He could have showed real leadership and nipped it in the bud. But as he said he didn't want to know about it.

Did his time.
The problem is we were caught, every nation does these things.

Yeah he should be allowed to play, but be a leader nah.

AB, Tubby, Tugga etc would have stamped that out as soon as they heard it.

 

[eth-dog]

That's a little unlucky for Harris

 

[chef]

Cracking catch.

 

[Magma]

harris must have one hell of a catalogue of info on langer

What a farce that Cummins couldn’t play.

Yes that’s the key differentiator for me. He knew. And then didn’t want to know. His inaction enabled it. Very poor leadership and it seems a regression that he’s now captain yet again (in part due to the current circumstances).

Slow going. Man City scored quicker than this last night! Blimey!

Cummins, who was eating out on Wednesday night, isolated as soon as he was made aware he was a close contact of the person who tested positive and has since had a PCR test, which was negative.

Fast bowler Mitchell Starc and off-spinner Nathan Lyon were eating at the same restaurant as Cummins but were at a separate table outdoors.

South Australia Health has deemed them casual contacts so they are free to play.

What a ******* shambles this is.

EFA.

If this series was being played in England then Cummins would be playing.

It’s not.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

It’s not.

Thanks Sherlock

Thanks Sherlock

I thought you needed help why Pat Cummins isn’t playing in this test so you don’t spend the rest of the test wondering why he isn’t playing.

The only reason I would consider going to the boxing day test is if i could sit near the Barmy Army, they make our travelling sports fans (bar the Socceroos diehards who are legends) look like complete flogs in comparison, christ knows how many times The Fanatics have embarrassed us over the years.

I am betting some Erin Riley type is going to make a complaint about their behaviour in the Sydney or Melbourne tests, mark my words

 

[Art Vandelay_]

England should be ashamed. 53 overs in two sessions is already 7 behind the over rate. Pathetic.

 

[glenferry23]

They’re going to be playing for free again at this rate.

Nah. Never been born into a silver spoon family. Wouldn't want to join those snobs at any rate. Would rather join the Freemasons (and that's saying something)

You don't need to be born into a silver spoon family. They even let Collingwood supporters in.
