Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

[Groucho]

The amount of overrating hypotheticals that England should have won has been amusing.
Let them stroke their egos…the facts are in plain light away from their doctored pitches they are a very s*&## team. Yet they continue to talk up a big game…it’s this false narrative that has me conveyed that they will remain s*&## until they grow up
Bit like this fairy fluff …and no l couldn’t resist a dig .




But this below comment tells me they love to drink their own bath water…this would be Neser who rip through your batting line up..not good enough for your team….the delusion is well en truly entrenched in their minds.

Huh? Neser took a 5 fa and a 4 fa in his two tests. They targeted him in the second innings at the MCG and it came off but that happens. Reckon he’s been pretty good overall.Doggett was a bit meh but he’s a stop gap and doubt he plays too many tests.

Junior's commentary career needs a bullet.
So negative, offers very little of interest, and seems to put in very little effort.

His wife's training career is going well enough now, that he might not have to do it for much longer.

 

[KiwiRoo]

Jeez ..the poms lost 3 zip ,bowled too short and batted like drunks.
But somehow they should have won ?

I agree that there isn't a big gulf between the sides. But they didn't do themselves any favours with being unprepared ,their attitude and perhaps selections ( love to see what Tongue instead of Wood at Perth would have been like) . But that stuff was in their camp to sort out

Ussie goes out playing the race/religion card. Who would have guessed? Just show me an example where he was treated differently (unfairly) because of race of religion? Have I missed something? Questioning his fitness, commitment and, at times, talent is nothing to do with either.

You think he has never experienced racism or bigotry?

 

[gokangas]

Nope - I am sure he has in life. But in the context of his cricket career he made a strong point of it today. Put up - how was he treated differently (negatively) in his Aussie cricket career? Why didn't he call it out when it happened?

 

[ferball]

Everything he said was spot on and happens all the time in every field of life in Australia.

campaigners who think they don't do it either need to call it out when they see it or shut the **** up about whinging about it when other people call it out.

How do you know he didn't? How does Gillespie know "no one's even called him lazy"?

He gave the scenarios of different treatment by the media.

It happens. While a tiny minority, some have gone too far with the race/religion stuff when it comes to Khawaja. Only takes one person. Usually came up with the celebration and alcohol stuff after big wins.

Fair enough but don't take a general swipe. Call 'em out. The media example I saw was they had a shot of him for his golf game and it lasted in the media 5 days. I will go and listen to the whole thing again. I just reckon taking a broad swipe is an easy way out. Name names.

Ridiculous. I love Ussie but that was absolutely predictable and shameful.

No, THAT is predictable

The alcohol matter was handled well by the team I thought and so it should have been.

 

[krakouers]

Need a couple more changes to help the next cycle
wouldn’t mind our state side approaching Uzzie as a coach but probably wouldn’t leave QLD, hope he stays in the game though

He seems keen on a media career. If I was a retiring test cricketer that's the gravy train I would want to be on. He seems to have the skills.

If Dave Warner is on the train, anyone can be.

Warner is no where near as shit as I thought he'd be actually.

By Patty? Very well

 

[DuckYeah]

Glenn has donated his wicket more than any other cricketer before him. The Goat

 

[DuckYeah]

Can someone give me an Usman summary? I started watching it, then my neighbour was mowing his lawn so I decided to watch that instead
