Ashes 2021/22

Burden of proof is higher in Courts.

Since you're the legal expert, you've been asked before.
On what grounds can he be denied entry?

 

[Coops93]

He is, but he makes this call almost every summer - would love to know exactly why he has an axe to grind with Starc.

Thinks he's a pea heart who doesn't offer much when things aren't set up for him to succeed, he said it basically in Starcs first series. I think that opinion has more or less been proven correct over the journey.

I wouldn't go that hard on him because Starc has been great in patches, but I think this time around he's bang on.

Still think Starc will be (mistakenly imo) picked in the first test.

Did he come by boat?

Now you're just embarrassing yourself.

Nope. You are. Stokes seems a person of problematic character. Of course Dutton would endorse him as he has done others.

You've been asked several time now on what grounds he could be denied entry.
You just keep avoiding the issue.

Put up or shut up.

poor character.. just like Warner (Dutton and co should revoke his passport)

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Onus of proof is different in Courts.

He hasn't done anything wrong jeez.

 

[Coops93]

Horace is a stuffier character than Ian Chappell & Geoffrey Boycott.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Most "traditions" in Australian cricket dare back to the post WSC period, I can remember watching ODIs on Boxing Day in the 80s, or in the case of the deification of the cap even more recently than that.

I am many times older combined than that pair of bellybutton lint.

This is a bit much from Malcolm Conn

Enjoy your Friday mate, vent on I say!

Should not have been allowed to play cricket after the SA disgrace.

Mind you the Poms have their own skeletons. I should be surprised Stokes was granted entry to the country after his thuggery.

Not a chance… If anything he has already copped the most significant punishment of any player in history when it comes to ball tampering. Does not warrant a life ban at all.

Didn't even warrant a ban at all, did we not see what FAF got?

 

[Sonny Hayes]

The alternative is Harris enough said..

The alternative isn’t even Harris because he’s already getting a game, our openers would be Harris and Usman or something like that…

Faf should have got life as well.

Expect Warner to be a walking wicket this summer.

Yea, it's still so over the top. Just move on from it, wasn't a massive thing considering it's prevalence in cricket. Aus media still has an unhealthy obsession with it. I mean look at Afridi, he was biting a cricket ball like he was eating an apple and was doing the running man in the middle of the pitch. He's considered a hero in Pakistan.

Or Chandimal who got done what a couple months after these 3? People act like Smith and Warner committed the biggest crime in cricket history and will never forgive them, yet just about everyone in history that has done it has been ignored.

I doubt it, history says that’s unlikely

 

[LukeParkerno1]

LOL

Part and parcel of sport

Yeah him too. Was a PR ban that's all

Always read to the end...

Instead of a Test match a One Day International was held on 26 December 1989 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground between Australia and Sri Lanka. Australia won by 30 runs in front of a crowd of 45,012.

Bowlers use to have sandpaper stitched into their pants to rough up the ball back in the day.
