The whining about the concussion sub is laughable. It's a game of hit and giggle.

Jadeja did cop a knock. Maybe it was used as a bullsh*t excuse. Maybe it wasn't. None of you muppets having a cry will ever know either way, so there's no point carrying on about something that may have been perfectly legit anyway.

I'm convinced Langer doesn't watch the Big Bash!

Abbott crumbles under pressure and he gets most of his wickets when the batsmen are going after him.

Where the hell is Chris Lynn and why isn't Josh Philippe or Inglis getting a go?

He probaby doesn't. In all honesty the quality of cricket in the Big Bash is pretty s**t compared to the IPL. Imagine the selectors give far more credence to how our international players perform in that than any domestic player in the BBL.

You would be all over Australia if they did the same thing!

Lynn is crap and cannot handle the pressure.....Philippe and Inglis agree....young guns lot better than hacks wade and henriques
 
True, we should have picked a few on that recent form.

I mean if we want to gamble on someone Sams has done well over there, and goodness knows why Pattinson isn't playing. He's not playing the first test so play him in these games jeez

Green is an awful t20 player...and Henriques was our best player tonight...3/20 and 25 odd or whatever he got with the bat
 
Ok. Fair point. The selection policy is a mystery to me then. Got no idea why certain players were picked (or not picked as the case may be).

It is an awfully picked squad. 2 keepers is surely overkill.

Its not laughable its a fair call to make, Jadeja continued playing after being hit.

Yeah mate, no sportsman has ever continued to play on after suffering concussion symptoms.

You aren't the doctor and you weren't there. You literally have no idea if they pulled a fast one or not. Maybe they did. But it's just a baseless accusation without any evidence at this point, so there's just no reason to have a cry about it.

Australia cheats: BURN THEM UNTIL THEY ARE NO MORE

India cheats: haha very cool
In fairness, most Austalian cricket 'fans' turned on Smith / Warner / Bancroft as soon as the flog Gerard Whately and other clowns said to.

I was one of the few who tried to point out that in South Africa, their fans supported whathisname with the big forehead when he got done with the bottle cap.

And in England the mints for swing is cricket legend, those countries support their 'cheats', because it is barely even cheating.

But no, in Australia, because we're a country of emotionally stunted, tall poppy syndrome, hivemind-affected, virtue signalling twats, we ate our own.

For shame.
