Is Bancroft spot fixing? I've never seen a player so determined to be run out.

Very disturbing indeed, and a damning blight on the ACB. It has happened across other sports too - swimming, gymnastics, and so on.

Merde! So it's looking like 2022 AFL season may come unhinged or suffer serious rearranging due to outbreaks? Even if W.A somehow holds it off? Could be a wilder ride than last season, if it manages to stagger on?

Fair chance omicron is almost burned out in all states but WA come the start of the season. The season will be affected but not as badly as what we see right now in other codes around the world.

'Someone must have known': The cricket tour from hell that left a dark mark on a generation of rising stars
Jamie Mitchell was a cricketing star on the rise in the 1980s. But since returning home from a tour of India and Sri Lanka, broken in body and mind by his experiences, Mitchell has been searching for answers on what happened.www.abc.net.au
Absolutely horrifying.
So started reading this earlier today and had some company arrive at our place, had a quick scroll down to see how long it was and saw a photo of Bitmead - I legitimately didn't know where the article was going, I thought Mitchell may have got some sort of malaria or something - my reaction seeing his photo was "he looks like a Christian Brother". Unsurprisingly they're mentioned further in the article.
That article made my skin crawl, and as a parent it makes me question trusting strangers with my kids. It also highlights how hard it is for survivors of sexual assault to acknowledge or even talk about it. Just plain ****ed all round.

It's worrisome to see how often sexual predators seem to have been able to Position themselves in these elite sports pathways.
It looks like an extremely dangerous crossroads of access and power, coupled with the trust and ambition of the young athletes.

Horrifying is the only way to describe it. All this time has passed and he is still trying to find out what happened... TO HIM!!!'Someone must have known': The cricket tour from hell that left a dark mark on a generation of rising stars

They actively seek out these positions.
Not just elite sports either, even low level high school PE teachers.

Correct, which is why no organisation or authority hasn't been or won't be touched by sex abuse cases. Organised (in the psychological sense) paedophiles will look for a job that gives them power, access and trust.

I'm not watching, but if NZ can't bowl out Bangladesh on Day 3 I'm going to guess the pitch is now so placid that Bangladesh won't be able to bowl out NZ.

Khawaja in for Head and no further change, Boland holds his spot.
Im happy for him, given Hazelwood's side strain didnt come up (when you have the depth we do then we can take time to make sure he is 100%) I think it is the right move to give a guy another go who just reamed the English batting line up. He will be full of confidence and will also be in the Poms heads. Richardson is unlucky but he is young and will get his opportunities, especially given how Covid is impacting teams.

Is there any other info about Richos niggle? I don't recall any reports of exactly what his issue is. Last test was "niggle" and this test, over 2 weeks from Adelaide, and he is "not 100%". Anybody know what it is he is carrying? Its a bit of a concern for a bloke with such a shitty injury history. Hope he comes good soon.

They were saying lower leg. And he's been bowling in the nets. I suspect "still not 100%" really means "we're picking Boland anyway, so we didn't need to put Jhye through a full fitness test".

It sounds like Jhye is actually fit and it’s a tactical choice. Pretty shitty how this series is panning out for him tbh.
Hopefully he gets another chance in Hobart.

To be honest I think that may have also been the case in the last Test where they wanted their MCG specialist.

There was talk he had a lower leg stress fracture but it wasn't confirmed.
If he was 100% fit, I doubt he would've been dropped after taking a five for.
I just hope CA let Marsh and Inglis back for the BBL.

Damn, that's unlucky for us. Was hoping we'd have Marsh and Inglis back when we played the sixers towards the end of the season.
They did just get the advantage of playing a cobbled together Stars team so can't really complain
