2nd Test Australia v West Indies 8/12-12/12 1430hrs @ Adelaide Oval.

Warner having a tanty because he’s still being over looked for captaincy role, wish theyd overlook him for test selection.. should never of played test cricket for Australia ever again

I'd replace him with Harris.

 

[troybe]

That story did the rounds about Mugabe too.

The matching moustaches were fetching as well

 

[cricketnut14]

Why are people still hung up on Smith re captaincy, cape town was almost 5 years ago now, get a grip people and move on

not only that, but he has already captained the side in cummins absence before.

is this always going to come up when cummins can't get up for a game ?

 

[Rich]

Hitler v WG Grace would have been a real laugh

 

[nobbyiscool]

And possibly the worst one ever.

It was out of context enough to elicit a JESUS from me...

 

[frankrizzo]

5 tests in 5 weeks cummins really should have been scheduled to rest this game even without injury all quicks will need a rest this summer with so many test packed in so close together.

 

[Westend]

I'd replace him with Harris.

F88k no... Renshaw hunt bancroft please

Yeah I tend to agree with davey to some extent...rehashing one of the worst moments in aussie cricket history really isn't needed and will drag his name and his family through it again...and remember there are seven players who are in the squad/currently who where in the side that cheated that day back in South Africa

Perhaps was told to shut up by cricket australia...will be interesting to say once he retires on what happened back then

 

[MarcMaverick]

F88k no... Renshaw hunt bancroft please

Agreed. Anyone but David Whiner.

Hitler played cricket

Adolf Hitler wanted to use cricket to train German troops according a new book about to be published by the BBC’s former World Affairs Editor, John Simpson.

Also every chance that the whole thing was bollocks, made up by an upper-crust Nazi sympathiser to endear Hitler to the cricket-loving English elite. Well, those that weren't already enamoured with him.

 

[Westend]

Agreed. Anyone but David Whiner.

Still a legend of aussie cricket give him this summer as a test send off and he continue in the white ball format

as i have said previously on these threads...I do not want him going to england

its time to for a change...and with warners average start with the bat and this stuff going on in the background it might well be his last test summer....I don't expect to see him ever again in whites in perth

Hitler v WG Grace would have been a real laugh

One of them a completely ruthless psychopathic leader who refused to accept reality. The other the head of the Nazi party.

Good player but still a flog, the Aussie team has had too many flogs that’s why they’ve been so unlikable

 

[Maddo11]

Started PPL yesterday, hoping this test goes the distance because I'll be stuck on the lounge most of the time anyway.

If Starc and Hazel get the pink pill hooping and nipping early i give the Windies exactly Buckley's chance

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

That story did the rounds about Mugabe too.

Let's not forget about Lord Nelson which the score of 111 is named after.

Unfortunately, they are not facing a team like India or England to smack some humility to them. Hopefully the Proteas later in the summer can do just that.

 

[PhatBoy]

Sure, lets compare Steve Smith's sporting misdemeanors with Hitler....

And besides Hitler is overrated in terms of pure evil. Pol Pot's regime brainwashed kids to torture and kill their own school teachers..!

It’s not a competition

 

[Lia]

You have to give Hitler some credit, he was the one that killed Hitler when many others had failed.



It was one of the most blatant and disgraceful examples of cheating in sport that I can remember so it deserved the reaction that it got.

I don't think the players involved deserved to be banned for life for it but they deserved a substantial suspension which is what they got.

Blatant yes, but no different to numerous other examples of ball tampering in cricket, most of which had minimal or no penalties attached.

He has has the brain of an autistic 12 year old.

I know for a fact that autistic 12 year olds are extremely intelligent - my wife and I have had 2 of them.

 

[Freezin]

Yep as expected boring change but expected

Tad too adventurous for Bailey et al picking Morris, but gee wouldn't add a bit of spice to the test...tearaway young quick hitting 150 +.....

Sorry. I ****ed up horrifically there, and i apologise sincerely. He has the brain of a 12 year old dumb campaigner. I know plenty of autistic kids too and they are bright as a button, intelligence has nothing to do with the condition and I should have known better. My complete apologies and I hope the young ones are doing well.

That's cool mate.

That's cool mate.

Thank you for pulling me up and being so gracious.

OK, a poor taste reference in hindsight - but I also note there has sadly been some other horrific conflicts and genocides in modern times that are rarely mentioned, mainly because Hitler is usually the preferred reference for evil...
