Hate to burst that lefty triggering bubble of yours, but it's really not much of a zinger and not exactly prize 'lefty' bait either.

But yeah hahahaha them triggered lefty SJWs cucks!
My post was a light hearted jab at the lack of quality cricketers our country is producing and a compliment to the amount India has, you absolute ******* pelican.

Pant has pantsed Paine by 154 runs this innings. Needed a captains knock to get us through to the follow on score to avoid embarassment. Should be demoted make Cummins captain. Wade should get the gloves as a better bat and keeper.

We're almost as bad as the west Indies, in fact I'd probably back two of their batsmen over any of ours. T20 has ruined our long form standards massively
T20 is a factor, but far from the only one. The seeds were sown before T20 became a thing.
Had a quick nap, we are still batting , that’s something
And its not the second innings!

I still reckon pant was out at 8.

Jadeja batting at #8 scored 81 on this pitch.

Jadeja!
Why do people act like Jadeja is some bunny with the bat? Yeah, his Test record doesn't match his domestic output, but he's a seriously capable batsman. He'd probably be batting at #4 for us, given our abilities/selection policy (or we'd probably somehow not select him).

Jadeja's Test career has seriously changed the perception of him. I guess that comes with age and just developing further as a cricketer, but back when he went for $2 million in the 2012 IPL auction, he was seen as something more similar to Glenn Maxwell (batting all-rounder, part-time bowler, excellent fielder) than the player he is now.

Thank you. Pelicans are pretty cool creatures actually, and the sub-species of absolute ******* pelicans even more so.

I do wonder where the money generated in Australian sports actually goes.

NBA players pocket 50-60% of revenues generated by the league. Our codes argue for half that and it's a big deal...
The NBA, like the other 3 major professional sports leagues, are for-profit businesses, where any extra profit goes into the pockets of the franchise owners. They don't need to worry about funding grass roots participation - they allow educational institutions, private individuals and companies to do that for them
