He's got stage 2 (of 5) chronic kidney disease, at the mo his kidneys are functioning at 60%..
Nice pic of him as a young tacker with his little eagles footy.

Wow, that's a serious condition he's got. Wasn't expected to live past the age of 12.

And the doctors were saying he'd be really small..!

It might he ok in coloured clothing but absolutely hate the type of helmet Uzzi is wearing.

Khawaja gone!

Freedom of speech is fine he can say what he wants when he wants in his own personal time.

But using a test match as a platform is where I draw the line .

People watch sport to get away from politics.

Look at the BLM kneeling and what it did to the T20 would cup last time . Turned it into a political s**t show.

And yet those that didn't take a knee or wanted to say All Lives Matter were called out and ridiculed.
It seems it is all good to have freedom of speech and your own views, but only if it aligns with the narrative and agenda set by the media and those controlling the media.

I wonder if he painted a rainbow on his boots to promote "awareness" about something else if it would have went the same way?

Me personally, if you want to make a statement about world events, peoples preferences etc, then do it on your own time in your own way. If you are at work, do your job and wear the uniform required.
But we can't have it both ways, if it's the in thing to do all good then but if it's not you can't. No, never.

Here's an idea: there's an entire board of people interested in debating free speech and the intersection of sport and politics, why don't you post about it there and leave this one for talking about the actual cricket?

Wouldn't be surprised if Warner is a flat-earther.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Warner puts pineapple on his pizza.

That would be up to Candice.

“This man writes his own scripts” ok so he’s just getting out to Broad each time just for the theatrics of it.

The cricket is pretty boring .

Pitch isn't that fast or bouncy

Watching warner flat track a bowling line up worse than the last time Pakistan came here is hardly enthralling.

The commentators felating him like he hasn't been mostly dog shit for 3 year is also annoying.

The Warner leap to celebrate a century is flat out annoying not least because it’s premeditated

Well turn it off and tune into the BBL mate. You've done nothing but whinge today so give it a spell if it irks you so much.

It was 11k at lunch. So guessing it might have got to 15k?
Still a bit disappointing given its school holidays

School holidays starts properly tomorrow.

Doesn't matter what I think but I would say CA were hoping for 20k which is still only 1/3 filled. Hopefully tomorrow they get 30k as everyone takes an early knock or a long weekend.
